Reading books

[guywhoneedshelp]

So me and my boy went sarging at the mall today and it was pretty dead. Number closed this one girl and I think she gave me someone elses number because when I called her number to give her my number the voice mail came up with a different name than the one she gave me.

So anyway we venture off into the barnes and noble book store to do some reading. At least work on our game in some way. I call another friend and get him over there so there's 3 of us taking over the couches reading different books.

I end up buying mystery's book, http://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Metho...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223423893&sr=8-1 my friend buys how to succeed with women http://www.amazon.com/How-Succeed-W...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223424014&sr=1-1 and my other friend buys "The Game" by Neil Strauss http://www.amazon.com/Game-Penetrat...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223424039&sr=1-1

We're each going to read them and then trade, so we'll combine our PUA skills and it was a very thoughtful thing to do. I've started reading already and can honestly say Mystery's book is pretty awesome.

How do you guys feel about these books? Lame? Helpful? Scam? For AFC? Me and my buddies are hardly AFC's, but we're constantly e-mailing things to eachother and reading material to improve our game. So in my opinion, helpful.

THE #1 book every MAN should read is


THE WAY OF THE SUPERIOR MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by David Deida Better than any pick up book.

I really think you should read books that enhances who you are and not some books that try to change who you are. Say this, do magic, wear dumbass looking shirts, ignore women, tell them stories that are not true, etc

Basically, Manipulate the girl to what she thinks is cool about a guy until you fcuk her because god forbid if she found out who you really are she would run away and never fcuk you again.

DO NOT apologize for being who you are.

DAVAGINA CODE -covers various methods and so much more

 

[The Forms]

The bible on this site has everything you need to know to pick up girls and more. Those books don't really contain any useful info you can't find around here. Keep in mind, picking up girls isn't rocket science. The more you complicate it by reading all these books, the harder you make it on yourself. These guys write these books to make it all seem a lot harder than it really is. If Mystery told you the truth about how easy it is to game the average girl, he'd not have a job anymore.

Most of why this site is even necessary is just to give you the confidence to talk to a girl you don't know. That's really the majority of the battle. If you are interesting enough, and have decent social skills and the girl you're hitting on isn't out of your league, then you should be fine.

Stuff like "peacocking" is just foolishness. So is NLP. If you can talk to a girl and make her laugh a little you're doing a lot better than a guy who's bought some silly hat so he can go "peacocking" at the club. Or some guy who's trying to "anchor" a girl's happy feelings to him with some subliminal hand signal. And, as a bonus, you get to keep your dignity!

Just read the bible here. Don't waste all your time and money on stuff like that. Read books on other things you're interested in than seduction.

I agree with FORMS

I am pretty much just crash reading this stuff right now because it is desensitizing myself to the crazy world out there and motivated me to GET BACK IN THE GAME which I'm pretty good out since I'm picking where I left off, breaking up with my HB9 girlfriend of 1 year. Soon I plan on taking a break from reading this stuff and maybe go out a little less so I can focus on things like:

1. Working out
2. Sleeping better (I have to be somewhere at 8AM all 7 days of the week, staying out late is a nightmare.)
3. Eating healthier.
4. My career
5. My finances and reading books about investing
6. Hanging out with friends and not talking about PUA stuff the entire time (although the community has brought us closer together)
7. Shooting cool little movies for youtube
8. Bottom line, doing more things for me, and not caring about attracting other people in the process.

I find the reading to be a temporary boost, but you shouldn't let the community and it's jargon consume your life like it has for some people.

Also, sometimes too much reading puts anxiety into my game. I'll go home at the end of the day and think "Oh if only I had some cool pictures on my phone to show her, she probably would of been more drawn to me." And sometimes it will actually make me care more because I'll feel that since I'm reading all this stuff I shouldn't be failing at all.

Mystery's is the only decent one there, he puts everything in an analytical perspective and actually breaks down Game. Some like it, some don't, but it's still valuable to know. Personally I love his work.

Style's book is more for entertainment value than anything else, still a decent read, and Ron Luis' book is just a rehash of everything every other PUA has put out there, like most books.

Just my 2 cents.
