"Our job is not to attract every woman, but to screen for women with a high potential of being attracted to us." -Manson

The more I read about seduction, the more I feel that there are two schools of thought when it comes to PUA. One is Manson's school of thought, which can be aptly described by the quote in the title. The other is the old school, like it was brought to us by Neil Strauss. I wouldn't call people who subscribe to Manson's variant "Pick up artists". They are more like regular dudes looking for a date, a gf or just to get laid. For me, a pick up artist is someone who can basically pick up anybody. As in: I could point to some chick and you show me how you seduce her within an hour or so. That's how Strauss described Mystery and his crew, right?

Related to this, it seems to me like there is a lot of feel-good bullshit in this sub where everybody is a winner even if the accomplishment is very minor. This doesn't really fit the old school if you ask me. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, since I also prefer Manson over Strauss. However, I feel that there should be a clearer distinction between old school PUAs and new school "dudes who just want to get good with women", which seems to be the majority in this sub. Correct me if I'm wrong.

In this day and age sad but true. Same could be said about men though. Not every girl is worth dating same for guys.

That means we need to find ourselves who we were what we value, what we lack(emotional maturity) and what are our needs. Then we can know what type of girls are attracted to what we value.

But the present day environment is so complex we get caught up in all small stuff and when everybody else is trying to sell themselves(advertising,TV etc) we pay our attention to see what they offer than look for what we really want. I think that is the reason identity crisis in mid-twenties since we have achieved maturity-even if partially- in a true sense (for some, it takes many more years) and lived a type of life like an experiment for few years , we can question ourselves.

But our biological clocks and physical body realities are far ahead by then, which means there are girls to score etc whom, for example,we may be get attracted with just their looks instead of looking at it as a part of greater self.

Looking back at all these it goes back to what Socrates said centuries back : "The unexamined life is not worth living". The only thing is Manson is our new Messiah to brandish the same message by providing the appropriate context and speaking in everyday terms which I heartily welcome and don't mind.

Not quite. A wide variety of women will become attracted to us and their attraction can build. Some of the ones who start off standoffish get really attracted eventually. An example would be the "lonely leader" victim type from Art of Seduction.

I do believe that we need to screen for "appropriate" women to our needs and goals (whether short or long term).

It's a mix of both.

You can and should develop be able to notice attraction or when a women likes you.

You can also through the mix of game and persistence have a woman fall in love with you who initially wouldn't give you time of a day. Most guys even do this through mere persistence, without much game really. And women do this too.

EITHER WAY - it will be a numbers game, and you can't have it all. But if you got what it takes, you can be able to attract ALMOST any woman.

The only catch is - is it worth the time and effort? Usually not.

So for practical reasons, it's good to not get stuck and look for women receptive to you. Just play the game.

But sometimes, when you find a women you really like but she's not really into you, there's nothing wrong in persisting for a bit. So long as she's fine with it, you can keep "gaming" her.

Masturbation is soooo much easier, safer, economical and efficient with the big bonus of not having assholes of the other gender in proximity.

sorting will give you the largest change in success

Sure that's true, but it seems like a lot of people that focus exclusively on inner game and reading books and not going into the field, fail to realize that you need to make yourself more attractive. It's the difference between the pool of women being 1 in a million vs 1 10.

People forget that Manson also writes that you need to get fit, dress well, be well groomed, have an interesting life, be able to approach, and be able to have a genuine conversation.

Does anyone know when his new book will be out?

Jamisbike · 2015-01-07T19:41:17+00:00

My job is to do whatever I can (to a certain extent) to seduce and do things I want to do, with the girl I want to do.

faimproved · 2015-01-09T02:42:48+00:00

This is just some inner game stuff that you use to tell yourself that you are not attracting women and end up attracting them.

And what's with all these guys approaching women in this forum telling themselves that they are not pickup artists?

Screen for women? What does that mean

TonyDAbsolute · 2015-01-07T13:00:54+00:00

I thought you meant Charles Manson. That would make sense.
