I think there is a reason for the change. When pickup was first catching on, there were new ideas that exploited psychology (e.g. “negging”) that actually gave some advantage to the people that knew them. Then they became widespread and suddenly women were wise to the games. Once they knew what was happening, these techniques became a massive liability.
So conventionally attractive people found much better results by just being themselves and being confident. And they stated it pretty clearly here… before they decided that this forum wasn’t helping them and they left.
Now the forum is made up of several groups:
Contributors:
1) Shy people who haven’t broken out of their shells and need confidence (easiest to help);
2) Socially awkward (eg autism spectrum) and physically unattractive people genuinely seeking help (much harder to help);
3) “Elder sages” who could gave used help when they were younger, ultimately did well, and are trying to help others now;
Detractors:
1) Incels that come here to complain and make sexist or entitled comments accompanied with an overwhelming feeling of futility; and
2) People not actually interested in the sub who are here because they think pickup is exploitative and dangerous, and needs to be monitored so that it doesn’t spawn rapists and so any “new” techniques can be identified and neutralized through dissemination to potential victims. (These people would much prefer to see the sub be closed.)
The mix of these groups sometimes results in very odd upvote/downvote patterns, with good advice and ideas sometimes being shouted down, and the most bland and generic self-improvement advice fairing the best. The least down-voted comments are suggesting to focus on improving yourself and stop worrying about attracting a mate, since that advice offends nobody. Unfortunately, that advice misses the fact that people come here primarily to improve themselves specifically in the area of flirting/attraction. Fixing other parts of their lives is great, but it’s not directly addressing their need either.

I think these two comments nailed it perfectly and I never really saw it like this before, there are lots of different specific competing groups.
At the end of the day, this sub is confusing. And, seeing a bunch of overconfident people butt heads with each other, like their words are gospel truth, is frustrating.

Over time it sort of morphed into self-improvement, and a philosophy of “you can’t fake it”. In order to be successful you really need to improve your life and become a better man. You need a more holistic approach, as opposed to the many people who just want “techniques” to get laid without changing much of anything. It’s about actually becoming a person who is confident and good with women, not just imitating a few behaviors. This worked really well for me. At the time the sub also seemed filled with a lot of people dedicated to that lifestyle sharing their stories and helping each other improve.
This is good to know.. this approach is mainly what I was asking about. Seems no matter the question about dating or pick ups, the "default" answer anymore is the "gym, haircut, hobbies" way of thinking. I see how improving your life as a whole can lead to better things all around, Im just wondering if people have seen specific results from the advice given here. So good to hear that

What piece of specific advise helped you the most? Was it just being more confident?
It'd be really helpful to understand that as someone who's young, and can't resonate with typical PUA stuff..

IMO most of the advice here is trash, but there are some good gems. At the end of the day, it’s more about getting off Reddit and actually trying something. Actions speak louder than scrolling Reddit :)
[–]coolcoder17 17 points18 points19 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Partially agree.
Through this sub and reddit in general, i may not have learnt how to talk to girls/other gender to keep the conversation interesting.
But I definitely learnt, how not to be a jerk and pushy.
And also learnt to be kind and respectful.
[–]ZiggyZig1 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
not to ask a stupid question but - you didnt know that before reading here?
sounds like a win either way!
[–]GeezRick 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
The problem is that most of the advice here is vague abstract shit like “be confident” or “frame” or “energy”. Things that are impossible to measure. So I can tell you that you need to be confident to get the girl of your dreams, but if you fail I can just say you weren’t confident enough despite having know real way of knowing.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is the best comment. Even if all this advice was perfect advice, it doesn't matter if you don't get out there and approach, approach, approach.

It worked for me. I met the love of my life when I approached her on a packed train and we've been going strong fot many years now. You can fail and be rejected hundreds of times, but it only takes one to go right 💯
[–]ZiggyZig1 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
awesome bro
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
This sums things up nicely.
Knowing your worth is key and be prepared to walk away if she plays games or ghosts you. Although it may not feel like it at the time, there are plenty of other women out there who will be a much better match for you.
[–]obviouslybait 34 points35 points36 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Basically the only good advice here is to go talk to women and get rejected, and try again, because you'll never know until you try. Be true to yourself, value yourself, improve yourself. Anything "seduction" based won't work because you're playing a game and not being yourself naturally.
[–]newrisingsun70 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Some advice is good, some advice on here is bad imo. What has helped me the most is knowing that I should be bold and not afraid of approaching girls and be bold in escalation when the woman doesn't seem averse. Best is to just try things out irl
[–]Asclepius555 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes. Someone told me here that I need to "shoot my shot" instead of texting and being nice in long convos. It has helped.
[–]mabden 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Although I agree with a lot of what u/Renshato says in his post, especially the bottom line "find what works for you" getting there is easier said than done.
To your question, no reading posts on this sub will not teach you how to seduce or pu a girl.
In the before times, dealing with chicks was hit or miss, trial and error as we had to figure shit out on your own and it was brrutal. Especially when you see so-called "naturals" seemingly attract chicks with ease. Frustrating to say the least. There were a few guys I met along the way that imparted nuggets of wisdom, like "girls like sex just as much as guys" or what shit testing was all about, and actions vs words (i.e. body language) and how to spot chicks in bars who were looking for some action vs ones who weren't. It was tough to trust what your seeing or your instincts, so you end up flying by the seat of your pants a lot. Some success, never guarantees future success, as (contrary to AWALT) chicks are different in what attracts them and/or what they desire.
Reading vs real world experience. There is nothing like the real world to teach you failure. Reminds me of Groundhog Day where Bill Murray goes on for weeks trying to seduce his co-worker with the trial and error method. Just a movie, I know.
For me (your mileage may vary) I found that after grinding out there trying my luck with chicks, once I found mASF pua website, things changed dramatically. Reading their exploits, finding other resources and verifying what I was seeing in the real world, gave me the confidence and understanding I lacked.
Bottom line there are two factors, understanding chick/human behavior and how you behave around them. You don't have to change your personality to attract chicks. 'Attraction is not a choice' and 'desire cannot be negotiated' are two very important tenents when dealing with chicks.
Anyway here a list of resources that helped me in both single life and in relationships:
The System by Doc Love (this is not a pua book, it is a dating book. the doc comes off corny as hell, but his advice is rock solid)
The Way for the Superior Man (wish this book was around when I was younger)
Practical Female Psychology for the Practical Man (the authors are posters from the original mASF website who collaborated to produce this guide on dealing with chicks.)
The Sex God Method (understand DEVI)
also read up and practice reading body language.
[–]bobyd 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
How did you learn about body language that is my most lacking skill
[–]mabden 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
My cousin gave me a primer. Plenty of books/articles. Also how to catch a liar articles are good..
Then go out and people watch. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Eventually, as you meet girls you will be able to observe telltales in their behavior that let's you match up what they say. Edit: The rule is watch what they do, not what they say.
Also look up IOIs.
[–]EU-Howdie 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Maybe look for the books of Allan & Barbara PEASE. Better even .... read them! Best .... read and study them and start practicing and check out their theory's in real life.
They wrote several books and give trainings. The best one (in my opinion) and translated in many languages is .... The definite Book of Bodylanguage, brought by Orion Books London in 2004.
This complete book about complete everything, and for every occasion, about bodylanguage is not only about flirting. That is only one of the almost 20 subjects in this book. Use them in every aspect of your life, work, job-interview, long term relation with partner, flirting, to impress, how to recognise a liar or a faker. Become popular among friends, groups, party's.
Men, realise that women in average are a lot better in reading bodylanguage then men. And realise that women give signals, conscious or even unconscious, when they are interested in you. It would be nice when you recognise them. This book, this knowledge, not only betters your flirting and relation !!
When I had teenager or young adult grandson this book would be my gift for him.
[–]rattled_by_rush 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
With the caveat that I'm nowhere near where I want to be with women... I'll say that yes, I've learned a lot from this sub. But you have to be a critical consumer of the information here. 95% of it is either uselessly vague or just wrong. Biggest thing I've learned from the sub is very specific advice like physical escalation, strong eye contact, leading. This stuff has all been extremely useful and basically changed the way I interact with women, very much for the better. Everyone should get these basics down if they want any success with women. It's crazy to think how long I was stumbling around in the dark not knowing any of it. The idea of touching a woman on a date? Would have been incomprehensible to me before. Now I see that there's really no alternative.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
lmao I don't know all of the "advice andys" here seem like inexperienced neckbeards....best thing to do is to copy some of the behaviour you see succeeding in real life
[–]Creepyunclexd 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
In my experience you can learn all the shit you want from Internet you can read all the books but at the end of the day you behave who you naturally and truly are. And it applies in all aspects of your life. Dating to working.

For me no.
Though I'm an average looking 5'5 white guy with an introverted personality.
For me it's basically the Dark Souls of dating. I don't know if anything would work and I've been trying for a long time.
[–]NewbieCasanova 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I'm a 5'4 Asian and PUA works wonders for me. You guys just haven't been trying hard enough
[–]SDdude81 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
For you it's not a big deal because nobody expects an Asian to be tall. 5'4 is basically average. I'm 5 inches shorter than the average white guy and I'm not good looking enough to make up for it. There really isn't any point in a girl choosing me over someone else which is why I struggle.
So, just like me. But that leaves a lot of other thing is which you can be good.
And depending of where you live there are many to very many small(er) women. If not, investigate where are women small, and women (type) you like. Go there OR find in your own area (be creative !!) this women. You like Asian women? You can't move there, then start learning there culture, some basic of their language, go to Asian events, markets. Do not do ... nothing! That does not work.
Come on man !! Tell us more. Where did you did PUA? Your age, the girls' their ages? In bar or .... ? In a western country or in Asia? I'm 5.5-5.55, caucasian, I lived 5 years in Asia and just was nice, friendly correct and decent. And that worked for me. And it worked in Asia AND in Western Europe.
One rule I"m pretty sure about, when you are too heavy in weight, loose weight. A little too much weight is no problemm, but do not be fat!
Another thing, best time for women is till 30, then goes down. Best time for men starts (!!) around 27-28. Have a plan for your future and a plan about work.
Drinking alcohol a lot, using drugs, or being a heavy smoker never helps! Hygenic, haircut, some nice smell, and nice and clean clothes (all of this does not need tot be expensive ones) do help!

Have you tried searching posts by the flair "Field Report"?
[–]HovaPrime 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Best advice I had on here was that confident comes from within and to read Models by Mark Manson.
After that I just fucked off and did my own thing and worked on myself. I am a lot more successful with girls now than when I first started but when I come back to this sub it feels like everybody’s just struggling not to be an incel or regurgitating the same generic advice that you need to hear when you first start dating around.
I guess most people probably move on once they get locked into a relationship and stop checking as much.
I don’t post much on here, I just lurk but I have been having actual success in real life so if you ever want me to tell you more about my side of things, just let me know!
[–]EU-Howdie 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yes, tell us. That is why everybody is here for, to read tips and about situations
[–]HovaPrime 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
So even though this post has been deleted, I guess I’ll share with you bout my successes so far since you asked haha.
I don’t day game much, but I plan to do it more in the future as I get more comfortable than I am now with dates. Most of my results came from OLD surprisingly enough. The few times I did approach in real life, I’ve always been able to get the girl to go on an impromptu coffee date. The key is to make the girls feel comfortable and let them know that you’re not a creep. That’s the main key to all of this.
For OLD, I recommend getting some really good pictures. I make music and have a lot of photographer friends that want to do photo shoots with me so I just end up using those photos. I don’t put too much effort in my bios or anything and when I match with somebody, I try to move it off the apps as soon as I can after establishing a good rapport (Snapchat, or texting)
I’d say the most success I have is in first dates, I almost always get the second date and into the third if I choose to go further with the girl. Like I said the key is to make the girls feel comfortable, a lot of the girls I’ve been on dates with have had horrible experiences so when you show them you’re a nice guy. They’re all of a sudden 10x more receptive to anything you say.
Everybody’s game is different but for me I don’t really care too much about sex on the first date, and that’s actually been a benefit to me because lots of girls actually put out on the first date when they find out you’re not that type of guy (lol go figure) so in a sense from a push and pull standpoint, I’m always the one pulling away making them do the chasing.
Finally the most important thing of all is that if you look at yourself and you’re not proud of who is looking back at you, then you need to disregard all of this dating shit and get right with yourself first. I spent 2 years alone to rebuild myself and find my own confidence, I think this has been the biggest boon to my dating life. Not a lot of girls my age(25) has seen a genuinely confident guy and it shows. Be confident, be non needy by having options, and be a person you want to be first before you go searching for your other half.
As you maybe know I 'm a senior man. So I haver never seen a dating site or facebook or something "digital" like tindl and grindl and all that.
But further I really agree with you, and can tell you I did it the same way. The first date is to gain her trust. She gets an idea about me, my life, my future wishes, my house. When there comes a second date it means that knowing that much from me she really likes to meet me again, wants to know me more, better. And too, I from her !! A second date is almost always in my place and I will cook for us. And we can talk and get knowing each other better. When there comes a third date, mostly sex get involved.

‘Elder sage’ here. Started in late 2000s, high body count, currently with a super hot and successful gf. When I post little tricks or concepts that I KNOW work (like I’ve used them with great success for years)…I got downvoted and trolled??? That at least tells me the experience / success level of most of the people on this sub. If you ain’t pulling AT LEAST one fresh girl a month who’s a 7 or hotter, shouldn’t be giving advice. Just my opinion tho

[–]Cookies993 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I think a lot of the “rookies” here are trying to learn the advanced techniques before mastering the basics. Which does them more harm than anything.
The success stories I’ve seen so far are mostly those that finally mastered the basics either after failing a couple of times or just doing their first real approach.
[–]mightymite88 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Very true. I recently made a post about how once you learn what lines work for you you can keep using them for decades. All the comments were asking for the lines specifically
. Those lines work for me, they likely wont for you you need to master the basics so you can develop your own lines and routines. More downvotes followed lol.
There is no magic pickup line guys ! Learn the basics and you wont need someone else's lines. You can make your own which are better. Because it's all about your own personal style and presentation.
[–]MattPruga -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
90% of the advice here is shit, just like in the whole industry. People try to help but have no knowledge, making things even worse. I personally have a few success stories (my posts), unfortunately I didn't use reddit for a long time and didn't post many of my stories. I think that I've asked for reddit advice only once, and I took advice only from a dude that actually gets laid. Good luck

[–]MikeAlphaGolf 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The problem with this sub is it pays no respect to the ‘elder sages’. Any 40 year old virgin can spew any random shit and get upvoted and complimented. While actual sage advice frequently gets buried in bullshit from people who clearly have little to no experience but want to dish out the life advice like a veteran. It makes it tough for the new guys. The nuggets are there but you’d be better off looking beyond if you really want to improve. Mostly it’s entertainment at best.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not at all and there is a good reason for that as you know you'll be able to pull things off only when you are not thinking about it. Moreover depending on the internet for dealing with modern women is not advisable. Being on reddit you will tryna search the best advice and the best tactic to be successful with women but in the end its not you. Just forget everything go out and have fun. Being on reddit is just an excuse for inaction.
[–]FlatDistance5 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Most people here are novices it’s the blind leading the blind. The places I’ve found to help me get my shit somewhat together with women was amazingly enough YouTube. It started with RSD. Then RSD Jeffy. Bought his execute the program for $20, that’s how I learned how to text. RSD Todd taught me how to cold approach. Now I look exclusively at John Anthony Lifestyle’s, and playing with fire shit.
But besides YouTube, the posts that affected me the most; that’s hidden in these archives on seddit, I can’t find them anymore. Are the ones where guys talk about giving up women for a year building their bodies. Then going back out. Only to get all the women and attention they wanted. But realized it was all empty and meaningless in the end. Instead of being able to enjoy it, they hated how they found out how shallow people actually were.
My stance, if you don’t have your shit together and aren’t in shape, with techniques, you can get some results, but you will struggle with women, greatly.
[–]BL00DINMYEYES -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Honesty I learned a lot from watching YouTube videos- day game etc. but this sub doesn’t help much. If the only content you consume is from people having success with women some of their behavior naturally rubs off on you. I started to notice I would act like/ say things that these puas were doing without trying to emulate them.

I give a lot of advice. newbie questions are insanely easy. Some are a lite more complex. That has honestly helped me. Keeps me more mentally agile. It's easy to read a post and have a minute to think and say well here's what you should have done.
So when I run into a situation irl my own advice is fresher in my mind.
I've picked up a few things too. With some experience you learn to parse. Half the advice here ain't bad but with humans nothing ever works all the time. Biggest thing to try and shy from is what looks like typical female advice...ask yourself. Does this reflect what I've observed? If not it's advice from a " how it should be stand point"......which is the crap most females would give. Alternatively it is highly misaligned with your worldview so it wouldn't work for you anyway.
Anyway it's mostly helped me stay sharp.
My resume for this is private...anyone who wants to know would dm and ask.
[–]Practising_Stoic -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This sub is pointless, it's an echo chamber for lazy people. You won't learn some technique and pull girls.
It requires so much more work than that. It doesn't happen overnight and will likely require years of consistent intentional effort to change.
There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone in this sub from making that change though, there are bars, nightclubs, hobby clubs, coffee shops, any number of places where attractive single women hangout. All you have to do is go talk to them.
90% of guys won't though, they are too scared of the negative feelings associated with rejection. They will hang out in this sub, discussing idea's while the real winners take action.

A member who has been here since 2015. I can without a doubt say that this sub is plauged by simps and feminist. There are very small minority who actually does game and wanna suceed. It's not what it use to be. A Pua forum. Now it's more of a mainstream media self help Group. Sad to see

You can be a feminist and still have game. The two are not opposed.
You're right tho that the group has lost its focus
Hmm what is some of the tips and techniques that have been lost to the ages

All the information you need is on this YouTube channel. He is undoubtedly one of the best PUA. RSD the largest pick up community unfortunately stopped putting out content due to social back lash. I've learned a lot from this guy.

Pfff I just come here to have a laugh! Most of the things people say are worthy of a stand-up comedy show!

Sure. Not everything, but how to strike conversations and keep them going, and being yourself. The usual be excellent stuff.
Yes. My self-esteem, the way I talk to people (not just women) and the way I view myself has improved significantly and my sexual shame has went down drastically when I tried to implement some of the advice from the subreddit wiki and reading "Models". I wouldn't say I'm "there" or qualified to give any advice whatsoever but when I compare myself to me 4-5 months ago, I can say I am proud of the progress I made. Improving with women also made me better in general social situations. I can be more assertive, have clearer boundaries and get more of what I want. Improving one skill will affect others because your skills don't exist on islands.
There is also a lot of fucked up manipulative advice around here, and a lot of the "advice" seems to be from incels, or at least that's what it feels like. You have to be really aware and picky.
If you keep reading and never do anything, no advice is helpful. Your self-improvement should be 20% passive (reading, analyzing etc.) and 80% active (applying) imo. You're going to get hurt a lot but that's okay. Feel your hurt and sadness then say "whatever" and move on.

Reading some of the top posts you can get a sense of what has worked for many people with different life circumstances. That and reading other peoples failures has helped me get a bit better understanding of what works and what doesnt. But ultimately there isnt anything said here to that hasnt been said elsewhere.
The biggest problem i see is theres more people that have no clue giving answers than people that have been through it giving advice. At the end of the day this is just another source of information to be taken with a grain of salt.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never asked any questions or used anyone else’s suggestions on this sub.
Lots of success from years back. Although I feel generally the quality of posts here has dropped. A lot of posts should be removed because they're more about dating and relationships than pickup and game.

Yeah but then I felt empty inside from having hookups and then I read some books, started working on myself, and now I'm happier. This place is good for beginners and teachers but if you want real results you need to read, work out, and have discipline. It's not easy, but it's not hard.
No, but tbh I thought this was wallstreetbets I thought I could find some pussy that was undervalued

Yes general PUA-like things did help me, but I was already getting laid.
It gave me some sort of framework and tips but it didn't really transform me in brad Pitt.
But few things have been very helpful like don't use the phone for much but setting dates, sitting in restaurants with a wall behind you so she has to look at you and not get distracted or you know stuff like setting dates and inviting them for things YOU want to do or like or to avoid first dates like movies where there's not much interaction.
So if there was a first date I would invite them to join me for some things I needed or wanted to do, like seeing some art exposition I wanted to go or going shopping, etc. Women love this kind of casual stuff and you don't show that they are what made you be there but the activity you want to do.
But other than this most of the useful stuff would be less chats, much less, no live a life with a purpose, be honest, etc those are life changers.
