Game time fellow PUAers! Here's a little background; I first learned about the existence of PUAism December of '08. Prior to that I could never put my finger on why I was just another frustrated chump that couldn't pick up a decent girl to save my life. Thanks to Mystery's reality show-"The pick-up artist" my eyes have been blown wide open and my brain has never been so stimulated and from December '08-last week(jan 30, '09) I have been developing the skill to the foundation of who I now call SERIOUS.
Here's my roadmap to success based off of Neil Struass's (Style) model
Early Dec. '08-Hear about and watch "The pick-up Artist 2" after a friend suggested I check it out. I was hooked after the first episode and watched the entire first and second season in two days via the internet.
Early Dec. '08-Feeling empty, I craved more knowledge and information about becoming a PUA myself so I googled "PUA" and uncovered an entire interstellar world in existance right under my nose. Not to get overstimulated by the wealth of information (not to mention hoards of spam mail to that try to get you to buy into every small piece of information), I checked the internet for books exclusively on being a pick-up artist. Now of course Mystery's "Mystery Method" (which I just ordered today) was my first choice, however Neil Stuass's "The Game" for some reason was calling out to me (I'm glad I read this one first) and I think I read this one in about a week.
Mid Dec. '08-Now craving even more (the world of Pick-up is like eating chinese food) I had become intrigued with "NLP" something I read about in Neil's book but had to google because I didn't quite understand what it was or how useful it would be not only in helping me step up my game with women but also as something that has so far made a huge impact on me personally. Anyways, after I googled "NLP" I ended up coming across an affordable NLP practitioner training course in Austin (I live in San Antonio) which I signed up to take beginning Jan '09.
Mid Dec-Jan 17 '09-I found and signed onto this forum (awesome site btw), figured the name I would adapt when I was ready to make the transition (with the help of my friends). Set up my email as "Serious-PUA@live.com", SERIOUS is the name PUA is the game. Chrismas, New Years, family stuff...
January 17-The NLP practitioner training BLEW MY MIND!!! I didn't think I would get so much out of the two days of a 16 day program but I did. Now that I understand what NLP is and how and why it works (Now I model success) I am now able to link NLP to not only PUA but also to real estate (my profession), and to successful confident people in general.
Break State-Now that we're caught up on a little history let me share with you my mind frame right now....I Am Unstoppable!.
Stay tuned for my field report labeled "Serious-Field Report 1", for now enjoy a break down of recommendations on becoming a PUA-
1. Watch Mystery's "The Pick-up Artist", both seasons if you have access or money to buy the dvd's. This will help you get a basic idea of what you're in for.
2. Read Neil Strauss's "The Game". He does a good job pointing out the mistakes and traps of becoming a PUA so you can learn from this book things to avoid throughout your journey (become aware of the addiction).
3. Work on your avatar, choose a name (ask a friend for suggestions). This is Mystery's deal so do it!
4. Learn everything you can about the PUA world. Sign up for the free emails from David De'Angelo, Style, become friends with Neil Strauss on myspace and watch the challenge videos on his page. Check out http://www.seductiontuition.com/, it's loaded with openers loads and loads of stuff to use and learn.
5. Sign up for an NLP course anywhere you can go to do it in person-the youtube videos do no justice. You won't regret it.
6. Recommended reading: "Unstoppable Confindence-Using NLP" by Kent Sayre (I recommend reading this after understanding what NLP really is and what it can do for you.
Feel Free to email me with comments or ideas. I'm also looking for a wingman in San Antonio or Austin so let's get out here and start sarging!
