Thread: aren't we what Style warned about?

i finally finished reading the game and i reread the last two chapters and i was especially saddened by what happened at the end.

where it should have been the PUAs having many girls moving through the house, it was soon filled with young teenage or adult men who know little about girls, who have the frat mentality, who can only sarge with canned lines, and who go out like an infestion of locusts. there was the seminars , workshops , and conferences, but very little personal touch or any substance.

the new guys who began to show up appeared to clearly not have anywhere close to the skills which mystery, style, or the other original PUAs had. they seemed to be more programmed zombies than anything else. they could run a routine and get a number but it appeared, at least in the book, that they couldn't get any further.

Style saw this weird phenomenon take place and he was quite depressed at what had happened. aren't we just turning into those guys which Style shunned away from?

I so far have not used any of the openers which was described but I have taken some of the more fundamental concepts like giving yourself higher value, ignore the target initially, and transitioning into the comfort stage, etc.

Who wants to change their abilities with women and dating FOREVER?

No
we can full close

The book should be read as a backstory on the community with a few tips, not as a guidebook. It's definitely a cautionary tale to both men and women. No one likes to be manipulated and used, and some people will see this as a guidebook to telling a woman what she wants to hear.

I thought he was at the point where he was bored with it, there was no emotional bond with most of the girls he was with, and was ready for something a little more substantial.

If you are just a PUA and enjoy the casual encounters, that's fine. Some people don't want to get attached for any number of reasons. Maybe he's in town for a couple of months. Maybe he is still healing over a past relationship and doesn't want anything deeper than a street puddle. Sometimes guys like to be lone wolves and don't want anything holding them back. It's a "living in the moment" principle.

The point he made was without it, he never would've had the relationship, the girls he was meeting would've probably emasculated him, because all those changes he made inside and out led him to what he thought at the time was his ideal woman.

There's a lot of users and manipulators out there, there are people who wind up with a damaged woman that will destroy them.
