So I remember posting something about PUAs in the Sista Side forum a year or two ago, but it got stupid ass replies and didn't at all conform to answer my question.
Essentially, I posted because I read a book called "The Game: Infiltrating the Secret Society of Pick-Up Artists" by Neil Strauss. The book essentially articulates Neil's journey through the sub-culture of pick up artists, highlighting his transformation from an AFC (average frustrated chump) to an mPUA (master pick-up artist). Strauss has another book coming out regarding how to live in current shitty economic times or something like that...
But, most recently VH1 aired a show called The Pick Up Artist, starring Mystery, the guy who essentially turned Neil's life around and had him fucking famous girls and attractive women. Now I haven't seen it, because it doesn't really interest me, but it reminded me of the book I read last year. Along with a simple question my friend asked me about this sexy middle aged blond girl who speaks with a school girl bubbly voice: "how did that guy end up with that hot ass girl?". So I read the book again, partly in order to try and help him get the answer to his question, partly because I forget things after a while.
Now, I should get a few things cleared up before I go on any further about the subject:
1) I'm NOT a Pick-Up Artists (PUA) nor am I trying to become one. HOWEVER, I have been reading into the culture and made a conscious decision to implore some of their techniques/theories into my own personal social interactions with women. The idea of having the skill set to attract/seduce 95% of the women I meet gives me a much larger pool to choose from. Mathematicians have come up with a formula for being at your most mature romantic mind set for being able to partake in true love- and that is 12 relationships. Beginning, middle, end. Some experts say you should experience 12 intimate, truly loving relationships before you can be comfortable with your decision to spend the rest of your life with one person.
2) These ideologies are NOT simple ways of playing a woman's securities in order to fuck her. Pick-Up is NOT a lifestyle, its simply a way to enhance your life; most specifically in interactions with women.
3) There are GORGEOUS women out there who are knowingly in relationships with PUAs and they're happy as fuck.
4) I don't want any replies talking about "oh those guys are whack" because at the end of the day, you don't have thousands of dollars rolling in off your ability to meet and attract women, you don't have a NY Times best seller, nor do you have a special on VH1. On top of that, these men have proven, factual stories (with photos as proof) about seducing married women, gorgeous women with boyfriends and the like. No woman is an exception to the rule. Your girlfriend isn't safe, and under the right circumstances would cheat on you. No matter how good you think you're fucking her, how much money you have, how much your "mouthpiece" keeps her from messing around on you.
5) Until you have any of the aforementioned assets (business, books, television shows) as a result of your ability to pick up any woman in any setting you desire, don't write off this post by saying "I got all the game I need"; "I just keep it real and bitches flock to me"; "You're a bitch for even thinking this shit works"; or the most common: "Its just a ploy to get money out of you". Plain and simple, I haven't paid a dollar for any of the information I've come by, nor do I intend on doing so. This whole thing started as a small group of men sharing secrets about successful strategies used to get intimate with a woman. Oh yeah, look up the word "intimate" by the way, its not about sex. Common popular misconception lead to a widespread misuse of this word. Its just the best cash in on their theories/abilities, just like any other thing. NBA started out as peach baskets and a soccer ball, now mfkrs getting paid millions. Doesn't mean the love for the game has changed.
Anyway, the bottom line to my post is this: does anybody else on the siccness get into, know anything about, or involve themselves in the sub-culture of pick up?
Websites, Forums, Essential Readings, etc. etc.?
