Too much freakin information out there!

Ahahaha. I went through this stage like 3 years ago.

I would say you've probably got to the stage where you can pick and choose what you want to try. Create your own style of game by mashing together things you've seen and things you've 'discovered' on your own.

As for material, cut down on it. After a while it all seems to be so samey its ridiculous. I mean if I had to recommend materials to n00bs these days it would most likely be: The Game, Double Your Dating, DiCarlo's Escalation and maybe magic bullets. And even that would feel like too much.

TL;DR Pick out what you like and field test the crap out of it now. Emphasis on field testing. You aren't going to get any better from reading now. Get into the field and practice practice.

Keep a notebook.

I'm happy if I can get 3-5 usable ideas out of any product, so I keep notes on what works and sync them with my phone to review.

The best thing for you to do is to just go out and field test what you read and see what works for you.

Let me give you a metaphor.

My sister and I are both artists and painters. She's actually much better than me, and went to a much better art school, but she gave it up completely.

I once talked with her about museums, and how there were far too many paintings to look at. I went in and looked at everything, and came out with a confused, jumbled memory of nothing in particular.

She told me, "oh, you can't look at everything. I usually go just to look at one painting, and a few related ones, and I don't even look at anything else. I can look at something else on my next visit."

So do that. Don't try to look at everything at once. Just focus on one or two practical things that you think you can take into the field and use immediately. Look at some materials that relate to a central concept, so you're educated about one technique, and then go use it.

As you do this, at first you'll start out with basic stuff like how to do openers, and you can see how far you get with the basic ideas you are trying. Eventually you'll see most variations of how that plays out, and you'll get farther into a set, so you know the successful patterns. Then you bring in more techniques, like locking in, creating attraction, etc. and each set, you may get a little farther, and a little more experience.

my honest opinion is this: if its not something you can use in field its not worth reading. there comes a point where you have the right mindset, and then you can begin to occam razor the weird rabbit-hole shit thats plauging everything these days.

you will also begin to notice overlap, theres a 'meta game' that exists in PUA methods, there comes a point, rather quickly, where it all becomes variations of a theme. probably because we pua are like stand up comedians, always stealing eachothers shit ;).

Someone posted a beginner's guide a while back: pick 1 PUA, read, practice, practice, practice, before moving onto a different PUA/Strategy.

With time & practice practice practice you will come up with your own philosophy.

Like anything, there's a place for theory and a place for practice. It's easy to read and discuss too much and go out in the field too little.

You're kinda like me man. I'm a guy that gets a huge confidence boner from preparation. Where it was in rugby, school, or females, I always felt better if I had a good week in practice, studied, or watched RSD for the 3rd time. Unfortunately at some point it becomes an excuse, "Oh I dont want to sarge tonight because I haven't read all the PUA literature". I know for me this was the case until I said fuck it they are all pretty much the same and mashed everything I liked together. I suggest you say fuck it.

It seems to me that too much information is a bad thing... Do you guys pace yourselves or how do you handle it

You're right on. Just have to find a balance, though. Most people find a way to get it done.

You have to realize that you're internalizing this stuff without realizing it. Occasionally, something I read or watched will pop into my head, and I decide to give it a shot in the field, but generally I just go out and "be myself". Of course, I'm being a better, more confident version of myself, but I don't really think about "Oh, first I have to X, then Y, then Z." If you make it too formulaic, it takes out all the fun. Worry less about resources and put a lot more importance on real life experience.

If something worked for you before, do it again.

I'd say read and watch as much as you can. Just make sure youre always doing twice as much Sarging. Read everything but only internalize and memorize what suits you, what you would see yourself doing. Narrow it down to methods and puas that you like and then you'll have a certain style.
