Well here we go.
I have read: The Game and The Venusian arts (Mystery method) I read about half of it, Started practicing - my social life went through the roof and I didn’t have any time to finish it for about 6 months, I was already a PUA by the time I read the whole thing cover to cover.
I have read nothing else (apart from forums)
Although I have never been on a bootcamp or other commercial offering (apart from the ones I have been running) I have been fortunate enough to practice alongside some of the best Pick-up artists in the world including Londons Mystery Method instructors, RSD instructors, most of the UK’s big names and Tyler Durden, Badboy and Juggler.
Find out who is practing the pick-up arts in your area, go out and meet them - forget gaming women - Game the other PUAs. The reason I got so good and did it so quickly and the reason I have the reputation I do is because I befriended the right people.
The thing you will find about PUA’s is that they are all really nice people and very down to earth. Baiscally anyone who is practicing PU has at some point had to hold their hands up and say “I am not as good with women as I would like to be, I am going to swallow my pride and admit this - so i can do something about it” - that takes a certain type of person. Now a lot of these people are now literally the coolest people you could ever meet. but they never forget where they came from. Don’t be clingy and don’t be a value taker and you will probably find even the worlds top PUAs don’t mid you tagging along with them.
If you ever see me out and about or any of the instructors I work with - come up and say Hi - we don’t bite.
Also sign up to some seduction forums. Without doubt the friendliest (and I am not just saying that because my company now owns it) is Alphainteractions.com/forums
The site is going through a bit of a transformation at the moment, so just ignore it and look at the forum.
Good luck
Practice, Don’t make your aim to become a PUA make it your aim to be a guy who is cool with women.
