Some Stuff About PUA (very long)

3 books:

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, to get an idea of why things work the way they work. Tough concepts explained in a very accessible way.

Red Queen is better if he is only to read one book.

[ QUOTE ]

On Being A Man by David Deida, making you realize you suck at being a man. Apply the lessons here and be amazed by the changes in how people perceive you.


[/ QUOTE ]

You either mean the program by David DeAngelo from doubleyourdating OR you mean "The Way of The Superior Man" by David Deida. I am not familiar with the former, the latter is excellent although Cardo will be able to come up with a reason to hate it if he wants to, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

[ QUOTE ]

The Art Of Seduction by Robert Greene, to be able to become this man all these chicks read about in their 1 dollar paperback novels.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah this is good but there is very little practical stuff. It's more of an archetype book....spelling out archetypes that someone like Cardo is going to be v familiar with anyway through reading literature and crap I'd imagine.

Good recommendations in general though!

Thanks, I have Red Queen as well, even though I prefer Dawkins´ book, but Red Queen is indeed an excellent read.

Of course I meant the way of the superior man, my bad.

This is actually an excellent book about projecting that which is true within you instead of putting on a mask in order to hustle people. Which I think may be part of what cardo is getting at, that we can use techniques and still remain genuine.

im going to break that whole post down into one little snippet that will explain all:


Being socially adept, if it does not come naturally must be learned, you go through stages if you really want to be a real "social person/pick up chicks", one of these stages is all this PUA BS, it IS something you have to do, false sense of security etc. Unfortunately most of the boneheads who do this [censored], will never progress to being truly adept at getting a long and "liking" people. Until you truly love the company of women, you are just a pig looking for somewhere to stick it.

I like it. We're all looking for somewhere to stick it, but there are plenty of different kinds of fun, and a place for all of them in rounding out a life. Reducing too much of attraction to a science makes it more and more resemble masturbation.

That's what Cardo was saying? Or you were saying at some point? There was no way I could get through Cardo's OP, lol.

IMO this is exactly what the community is. A group of guys trying to get to that place. Everyone is at a different stage and many never make it to their ultimate goal (the end is specific to the individual so I'm not going to define it).

Its kind of what cardo was saying. I dont think there are too many guys on this board that have gone through the whole social progression. And it does exist, its not like its different for everyone, 99% of people who just have "it" when dealing with the opposite sex, and arent regarded as pigs/attentionwhores/douches/paying for lessons, go through this progression. I just thought Id clear it up.


and for the record, there are like 2 guys on this board that arent stuck in the douche bag PUA part of things.
