Rewind to last year. I'm a junior in high school. I got it going on, I got girls and I got a good sense of self. I turn on the TV, watching something or other. I forget what it was, but it said something about pick up artists.

What was it about pick up artists that sparked my attention? I will never really know. I think I was like most guys, I am a greedy human and wanted more of what I had. More women, prettier women, and so on.

Google search "pick up artist". First thing that pops up is the wikipedia definition.

"A pickup artist (commonly abbreviated PUA) is a person who practices finding, attracting, and seducing sexual partners. Such a person purportedly abides by a certain system deemed effective by that community in their attempts to seduce partners."

This sparks my interest. I had never thought of practicing getting women. I always just tried to get women. I never saw it as a skill that had to be honed, just something that you were good at or bad at. I decided I could see myself practicing that, but I wanted to see what these guys could really do.

Google search "famous pick up artists". Ross Jefferies, Neil Strauss, & of course Mystery. What do all of these guys have in common? They seem kinda wierd at first glance. Another thing is that they are able to get women quite easily despite this. Read up on their writings, some of it is genuinely golden stuff.

But something that really brings them all together is a general scientific approach to the theories they present, and they are very much centered around being able to bang women and almost manipulating them, but you don't have to take it that far.

The players have changed, and so to has the "game"

Lets take a look at our modern seduction community. What is it? Where has it gone?

What new theories or techniques have been introduced?

What has actually been introduced besides "being the best, most confident you", etc?

NOBODY PUTS THE WORK IN TO TRY REALLY NEW THINGS, NOBODY IS COMING UP WITH NEW IDEAS, NOBODY IS REALLY CHANGING ANYTHING AND IS JUST PARROTING THE SAME STUFF

"So well then Mr. /u/the_life_is_good , whats wrong with all this? You haven't posted anything here to the PUA community thats worthwhile!"

No, I have not posted anything really great here. I made a couple allegories, thats about it. I'm working on some ideas based in psychology and honing them in for you guys, but that is really going to take some time and needs some more basis before I am willing to put it out there.

Nothing is wrong with being confident, it is the basis to all this. But really, why is nobody coming up with new systems or theories? Nothing groundbreaking has happened in some time from what it seems. Breaking approach anxiety is one of the most important things you can do. Building your sense of self is up there as well. Beating shit tests is important, but we need new ideas. What we need aren't new ways to tackle the same problem over and over again, rehashed all the time, we need a scientific community built on testing and proving ideas.

WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE ROOTS

For the love of god, please everyone. Do us all a favor. Come up with an idea. Go out and do it. Report back. Extrapolate on this idea as a community.

My challenge to all willing to take it

I am going to make a thread on this subreddit once weekly. It is going to be about me talking about new ideas and systems I have tried, and for everyone else to post theirs. No idea is a bad idea until it is tested (well, except for those really bad ideas). The idea of this is to try and stimulate a community about development of the art, and give people a place to put down their theorems.

Thanks for reading this rant guys. The TL;DR is to come up with new things, and that we should all take a scientific approach to this and try to develop the art.

Fuck it, ive had a few and I am hitting submit. Derl werth ert.
