I would Add:
Mystery -The Mystery Method
since I tried the Mystery method back in my PUA days- I can't reccomand it at all. Waste of time, It doesn't work and it's very outdated.
I say 'outdated' not because it's old but because It might have worked for some people when the PUA thing was still an underground thing- but today and esp. after the VH1 show ('the pick up artist') when everyone started using it- most women can already smell this bullshit from miles away.
Now I can reccomand:
David X's seminar in Germany.
Cameron Teone's ebook 'The Attributes (The Characteristics Of A Seducer)' if you are just starting out. It's a nice read for people just starting out on the journy- better than all the other pick up books out there.
as far as music: I like some of Shyne's music (the Hip-Hop artist).
recently he became very religious- he has an interesting story.
(LoL!)I Knew this would be controversial why I chose the MM book. The MM model the base around attraction Here's the Model:
Attract-Comfort-Seduction
Attraction:
1. Open
2. Getting Female interest in you
3. Baiting her with your interest
Comfort:
1.Convo
2. Connection building
3.Intimacy
Seduce
1. Foreplay
2. Last Minute Resistant
3. Endgame
The indirect approach and disarming obstacle- It teaches how to disarm men or less attractive first by ignoring the target and approaching the obstacles.
This catching 101. Don't worry about many people know about pick up. There still MANY who ever heard the of it forgot about it and would never try to apply it. Even most of those you do try give up because most peopl are looking for a magic bullet. And most females are still not aware guy like Mystery exist and there new chicks turning 18 everyday. It may be over exposed but you're not suppose to using anyone else macks routine verbatium away, BUT YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW ATTRACTION STRUCTURED.
More like hunting 101 to me, and my question was because I was running away of this shit, and then realized this type of forum exsisted so I felt more confused in the process. Now back to this Mystery method; I felt this was not natural for me trying to convince girls to like me using my stories, PRETENDING I WAS NOT INTERESTED in attractive woman only to catch her attention later, doing my performance and displaying my sense of humor, playful banter, negs, and displaying imaginary value to her, and all this shit TO IMPRESS in the mind of the female, that I was subtly suitable for her, and she should remember me for doing all of this, being MEMORABLE. And what for?...
Sincerely, a beautiful woman... What she has besides her stunnig looks, if all that I wanted is her body, why would I pretend the contrary to her group? Just for being under the radar, which radar?... The radar of her sexual attraction from me to her... When If want to be with a beautiful and non bullshit interaction, short-term I can just save some money, visit some bombshell prostitute and ask her nicely to instruct me in love manners as an exchange of my money and respect for her services. Rather than endlessly aim beautiful chics, and do the wash rinse repeat method, and wasting time only to enconuter some brick house and shallow woman, that may be just cock teasing me, for some attention, or just want a relief from his life.
Rather... I wanted some room to express myself, my goofiest and stupid side, without being preocupied, not wanting to care of all that details because, in my interior I just felt I was not enough and have to do all this juggling shit to win her over... That I was incomplete for her. Perhaps I was more chickened out of this method, I addmit it due to the painfully emotional work it requires, and that I have to be aware and inside of my skull while talking to them playing some imaginary chess with all this requirements of attraction comfort, bait, hoops, reel release, merging sets... My mind about to explode with all this info, add with the gut wrenching of not knowing what I'm doing, and paying attention to them like a trained dog expecting the scooby cookies, to make a move... Just to mantain her entretained and focused on me in the hope for some..... yes you know
... The interior was the same, only the exterior was changed in this stupid game. This was so much for me, and from my personal perspective it requires too much time and emotional investment. Talk about the subtliest way of putting pussy on pedestal.
I observed that this method, in his core teaching is focused in:
Relying on the perception of the woman has of you... like 100%! And seeing them as the price to be conquered, gaming them and no leaving space for them of doing that thing to you, you being the machine pushing and pushing and pushing... I just didn't get this method, this was not for me.
And I admit it I knew that if I worked more it will somewhere fall into place, but in the end I will never give solution to the root of the problem, my insatisfaction it now stems from not having woman is something else, I was just distracting of this issue. I know that in very attractive females I 'catch' would serve the purpose of the braggs with males, and the thrill of the chase... So I have to think about it more. I know this method works best in nightclub environment (although you mentioned, and I get The structure works every where) but I have to say it too... As all things in this world are subjective, and no rule is written in stone. I've seen method utterly disproofed by some "clueless MyMe males", doing exactly all this shit backwards and skipping phases and jumping some imaginary fences (the structure), and get the hottest bitch available. This breaks the paradigm with any method, that this are just representations of a irrepresentable reallity.
And thats's why I fail miserably in this method.
Glad you add it, but I don't consider it Pimp material.
And for taht, maybe I'm utterly wrong.
