This is core advice from The Book of Pook.

Most men who get into pickup or just want to do better with women view approaching a hot girl with this mentality:

AFC mentality:

Oh my god that HB9 is so hot, I'm going to muster up the courage to go and talk to her and hopefully I can secure a date with her (the 'prize')

The Alpha male who fucks girls out of his league doesn't think like this, it's simply a part of his personality to approach the hot girl and have a conversation. He is outcome independent, completely invested in the present moment - his belief, even if irrational, is that he is the prize to be won

He will game many different girls and weed out which ones he thinks are worthy of his time. The way he carries himself is completely different to the AFC

She is not the prize. You are not both the prize. YOU, are the prize
