About two months ago I stumbled onto "The Game" by Niel Stauss, thank you God, and since then I've read quite a bit of pick-up and although I'm still not very good as a PUA, I feel significant improvements in the way I deal with people, interact with woman, and live life in general. But today I got the biggest indication yet of how venusian arts has changed me. I watched one of my favorite movies of all times, Woody Allen's film "Crimes and Misdemeanors". In story 1, Woody Allen tries to make a woman fall in love with him but loses her to an asshole TV producer, and in story 2 the other main character has his ex-mistress killed because she threatens to tell his wife about their affair. I remember the first time I saw it being struck by its unusual two stories told side-by-side, its
humor, and what I then saw as its nature as an unusually brave attempt in human art to confront the truth about the universe: that there is no god, things happen for no reason, things are not guaranteed to turn out OK, in fact there's an equal chance of good and bad happening, and since those 50% chances average out to most of life being neither good nor bad but just kind of OK, i.e. existentialism.
Now I saw that same view of the universe which had struck me as so profoundly and terribly beautifully true-- and laughed with incredulity. It suddenly struck me how absurdly and incorrectly reality was portrayed in both stories, especially the first one. In the first one the essential message seems to be that no matter what you do with woman, they're decisions and attractions are completely irrational and operate in a manner completely without regard to the man himself and his conduct. After resisting Woody's advances despite their seemingly 'good-enough' level of skill, she goes for the rich self-important asshole producer for absolutely no reason, as if it was completely random. The fact is that the way his character acts and the way her character acts don't make sense when taken together. Based on his behavior, I'd say most woman would probably actually go with him based on what he's already done and what he could do in the future in terms of basic damage control and doing what my brain thinks would be the right way to proceed in this situation. Based on her behavior, I'd guess the man she would be interacting with would be much more of an AFC than Woody is in this movie. Before when I saw this movie, I thought "Yeah, that's sad but true, we really have absolutely no effect on what woman want, they're just irrational. Nothing I can say or do will really make any difference."
Now that seems like bullshit to me. Even though I often can't think of the right specific action in the moment yet, I always know the general things you need to do to make somebody do what you want. Really, the trick to doing this in general human interactions with anybody is not to talk to them rationally but to just strings sentences together that make sense and provide whatever emotion or belief that that person needs in the moment to stay happy and compliant to your will. And no matter the current state of your relationship is with someone, every moment is a brand new opportunity to shape the relationship into whatever you want it to be. Granted, the more you let the relationships morph into shapes you don't like, the more effort it'll take later to mold it back into your ideal shape for it, but it's always something you can do if you're willing to take a little time to do the repairs. So don't worry about anything. Don't do anything stupid that your rational mind tells you you couldn't recover from such as death, but know that you're what I think of metaphorically as somebody who lives in the 5th dimension and can thus travel through time and possibility in anyway we want.
If this talk of 'having people do what you want' seems creepy I'm sorry, but I don't think it's creepy to know these things and use them for the good of everyone involved. Seduction isn't about taking something from someone, that's rape. It's about seeing exactly what that person truly wants, working very hard to become her ultimate fantasy born on earth, and then to give yourself to her. Seduction is about working very hard to give her exactly what she wants, not taking anything from her.
All the characters spend all their time just walking around complaining in amusingly clever ways, and no time fixing their problems. And it would take very little effort to do the fixes, but for some reason the characters just walk around in partner making dispassionately clever commentaries and complaints about their life.
The the beginning and middle of the second story didn't make sense to me. Why would you ever have someone killed like that? Why not just confess to the affair and discretionary monetary decisions? Why not just talk to the mistress honestly and just say, 'please, what would you have me do?' And why wouldn't the mistress see reason? I mean she was completely was beyond emotional, her behavior had literally no connection to reality. It was like she was a robot programmed to do things that don't make sense no matter what happens around her. And then if you can accept that all that, and presume that to be a real situation one would ever potentially experience, why would you then feel sudden uncontrollable remorse so great that you'd start drinking, yelling random things in restaurants, and seriously consider turning yourself in. The fact is I would never kill someone unless the circumstances were so extenuating as to be unrealistic (the whole earth explodes unless you kill a guy no matter what you do for some reason, a person says they're going to kill you and for some reason it would be impossible to change their minds or to just keep them in a cage or something, you know, situations where there's a psychopathic human, which is a person with a genetic virus, who can break out of any prison or something, then it would be appropriate to kill them. The only really realistic situation I can think of is if someone has a gun and is going to kill you or someone else within the next few seconds so you don't have time to talk to them or anything, in which case you should shoot them just as a safety precaution). Do your best to disable and not kill them, but all you can do is your best.
Anyway, as I said, I'm starting to realize that studying venusian arts has quite literally completely reconfigured my brain, and thus from my perspective the fundamental laws of reality have subtly yet significantly changed. This is evidenced by a lot of things: my best friend telling me over the phone how surprising and out of character I was for me to have have gone to a salsa class on my own, me saying "well I guess I'm Fuzzy 2.0", and him saying completely spontaneously "more like Fuzzy 10.0"; the main subject matter of this post, that movies that used to seem to me just so ineffably true I now watch with bemusement because they seem so ridiculously unrealistic. It seems to me movies would be a lot more interesting if they focused less on people's problems and more on interesting stories of people doing interesting things and finding out things and shit.
My mind is wandering, forgive me, but I think the raw true contained in this post outweighs its irregular presentation.
So since most of my old favorite movies and movies genres were existentialist pics that showing a cold model of the universe where whether we get happiness and anything else we want is often out of our control, and those no longer make any sense to me, what movies should I turn to I wonder? Do you guys have any suggestions of films that have a fundamental worldview that we are in control of our happiness and the masters to a great extent of our personal reality? 'American Beauty', another old all time favorite, seems to make the migration to my new self rather nicely, (which is fortunate because that movie is as excellent a movie in every possible regard as I think I have ever seen) and so does 'Wonder Boys', but I can't think of much else.
Oh, and I almost forgot the most important that should be taken upon receiving a revelation like this: gratitude. So thank you to all those original guys who became part of the great spiritual evolutionary force that is the internet (separate discussion if that doesn't make sense to you, although feel free to ask) and became seminal evolutionary agents in the evolution of consciousness about the way men interact with woman. Thank you to Niel Strauss for writing 'The Game' so it could find me, and thank you to you guys for being on the same journey and helping me and everybody else, and thank you God that such general evolution of humanity as this can happen so quickly and easily in this age when the pace of evolution is rapidly approaching a tipping point beyond which it will go unimaginably fast. (For an explanation of this, go to
