"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm thinking of buying Neil Strauss pick up guide. I read alot of reviews many stating its was a book teaching pick up whilst others said it was more of a story and lacked technique?

What did you think?

IS it worth buying?

Its like $15 ... go read it at a bookstore and if you like it, buy it.


IMO, its hands down the best book you can possibly read.

It's a story about PUAs which have examples of some techniques. There were a couple of nuggets of gold in the book but if you are looking to actually learn something substantial on sarging, I'd look elsewhere unless you have very few skills if any.

It was an entertaining book however. It gives insight to the personalities of the guys most of us believe are gurus. Being a PUA isn't always what it's cracked up to be (unless you write a book about it).

Whats a good book for sarging and learning to be a PUA?

Also a book that goes into depth on techniques such as negging, Demonstrating Value etc etc
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

MasterYoda, I believe what your are looking for is the Venusian Arts Handbook, which was written not only by Mystery, but was a collaborative effort by some of the greatest pickup artists in the world.

Well I'd rather spend my time asking experienced people that books they have read and what helps them rather than waste time.

Are there any more suggestion on books or videos?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Bro, if you are talking about "The Game", I got the book, its a good read, but its not a guide. It has many routines in it, along with examples of pickups, but it generally talks about how he evolved from AFC to mPUA

Mystery's book and DVDs are the best ive seen so far
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Buying a book on how to pick up chicks doesn't make you a loser. It simply means that you want to up your game. I was able to pull chicks before I stumbled into the seduction community, but once I realized that there were men who had mastered it and made it into a science, I simply wanted better.

That's like saying "I would never read a book on how to play chess." Its a stupid attitude.
