    You don't have to move to Dublin to register on boards.ie by the way...

    Did you just post this so we'd all lose the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Standman


    All I can say is I read it and I scored 10 millionz chicks with all the smooth moves I learned. F

    For example Negging is one that works really well where you insult a woman lightly so she will like you an awful lot. Its how I met my chick, shes from France and I told her French are an idiots and she laughed soooo hard that she gave me a date.

    If you read it you'll see Strauss is teaching seminars for money before he has even kissed a girl using the stuff he's teaching.

    The secret to all this stuff is it gets you out talking to women and if you talk to enough of them one or two will be interested, simple numbers game dressed up as psuedo science.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 Steo1885


    had a feeling this post would be ripped to piss :) it seems to make a lot of sense tho and guys who are rubbish with women have to try something...did u actually try some of the stuff standman or is that very subtle sarcasm...

    PUA talk is strictly banned on boards afaik, however I know several guys who have used the method and have done spectacularly well out of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 Steo1885

    I've never understood this attitude to Irish women. I've always found them to be generally very approachable, easy to start a conversation with and generally up for a laugh on nights out.

    Real social dynamics. Wont go wrong with them. Forget the crap in the game.

    They have countless youtube videos of seminars and instructors approaching women on hidden camera.

    yeah you probably heard the saying from the tv series the office "its only sexual harassment if the boss isn't hot" and you are probably a goodlooking guy and charasmatic but other people aren't and have no idea what to do..im single for the last 8 years and am willing to try whatever might work...

    Watch the rsd youtube videos and approach women.

    If you continue to do this you will get very good with women.

    The most important thing that will attract women is your behavours. Don't make any excuses, try to see reality as it actually is rather than how you want it.

    you talking from experience :) How much did u pay for your bootcamp?

    The question is is it as good as the film? Full of plot-holes so it was.

    page 6 of google i find www.irishseduction.com ... seems there is an irish demand for it afterall..500 euro is too steep tho, is there any pua guy on this forum that I throw maybe 200 euro and they can show me the ropes in coppers or diceys? :)

    It's a forum, here on boards, not a bootcamp. Might be a better place to start before AH gets its teeth into you.

    You'd probably get some cowboy for 200 euro who wont help much. Honestly just watch and listen to the rsd videos and approach lots of women. I improved hugely by doing just that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,077 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    There is a Gentlemen's Club forum ... but anything related to Pick-Up Artists (PUA) is explicitly banned in the Charter thread. Which should give you some idea of where Strauss's book is viewed by sensible men.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    A little unsure what do you mean? I didn't realize I was being defensive. But okay :)
    Anyways, we're in AH, after hours. You're a new poster, and if you're genuine, the quality of replies you get here, may scare you off. (Sorry Guys:pac:, you know it's true)

    You're telling me! That movie had me scratching my head for a whole hour afterwards. Maybe it was cos my hot-butter popcorn was stuck in my hair. But I got over that! It was the whole premise of the thing that made me wonder. That film was also guilty of a major crime against grammar afaicr, iykwim?

    You've been single for 8 years and you want to use pick up artistry to find a girlfriend? How about you just put yourself out there a bit and try chatting to women in a human way!

    Also, I'm so curious as to whether other women fall for this? Or would they even know it was happening? Or would they even admit if they knew?

    yeah single for 8 years, approach quite a bit but doesnt seem to work, so what am i meant to do? do the same thing and expect different results in einsteins definition of insanity...time to try something else and if it works great and if it doesnt at least i tried everything :)

    I've improved tremendously with women from pick up artist advice.

    Walk us through your thoughts, emotions and actions as you approach. Be honest.

    I don't think any women fall for it; if it works it's coincidence because we have already decided to have sex with someone and are just patiently waiting for him to finish throwing shapes and get to the point.

    Well if you can fall for it when a man is confident, funny, charismatic, , friendly and cool then a lot of women fall for it. Becoming good with women is basically learning these traits and bringing them out of yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Read it, use it, it works, it's an easy crutch for people who are bad with women.

    Then progress on to rsd.

    Then on to being a natural natural.

    But yes, the game is excellent.

    Ps - don't ban me!

    This. You can't get fish with your net in the boat, so the guys standing in the corner all night aren't gonna get anywhere. However if you get into this PUA stuff it's mostly about approaching many many women(and getting shot down). If you go over and talk to a couple of hundred women, unless you've a face that rings bells in a Parisien cathedral and smell like a sewer a good few of them will respond. Doesn't mean it's the "method", beyond the approach. For socially immature guys who may have a fear of talking to women in social situations this may actually help them a lot. Like phobics exposed to their phobia time and time again can overcome it. So guys get more confidence and IMHO and IME women, particularly young women see lack of confidence the same way young men would see obesity in a woman. Rarely a turnon. The problem being the guff associated with it that rates women, more, makes them out to be a different species that you must dominate in some mad american will to power social dynamic way. That's a big problem.

    There are companies that run boot camps on how to pull women?

    Christ.
    Oh yep B. Huge market for it and the "pickup artist" gurus can make a small fortune from it*. What that says to me more is that there seems to be a generation of men for which social interaction is very difficult and romantic interaction even more difficult. I'd have a few theories on that score, but maybe for another time.






    *actually met one a few years back in Dublin(English lad). He was letting me in on the amount of money being made especially from seminars. To be fair to him, beyond the money aspect he did seem to believe in the whole thing. Even asked did I reckon there was a market in older guys my age.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Read it a few years ago and it was hugely entertaining if you dont take it seriously. Having lived in the states I can confirm that there are suckers there for this rubbish.

    The real game involves being yourself and just talking to girls. Smiling, being interesting and confident and you wont have any trouble meeting girls.
