I don't really have any interest in being some Mystery method classic PUA with a bazillion canned lines but is an awkward mess outside the one specific social niche they've mastered.

My only real interest is becoming a natural.

The true difference between these two became apparent to me after being exposed to club social dynamics with "regular" people instead of PUAs. When it was just me and a couple other game buddies doing approaches I felt comfortable. When it was me with a regular dude and a girl he knew from work I was totally out of place.

Pretty much immediately after this happened I knew something was seriously wrong. Do I really want to be some cave troll who slinks out of his hole every night to seduce some dumb chick for a temporary rush? Or do I want to be a cool guy that other people enjoy the company of and women are instinctually drawn to? It's definitely the latter for me.

This is an important distinction to make because the two are developed in different ways. The classic PUA just needs to go to clubs over and over again to work on his routines. The natural definitely needs to go to clubs, but he also needs to build social circles, go on fun adventures, hold longer term relationships, deal with his inner turmoil, and talk about subjects other than game.

From this description it is clear that becoming a natural is much more complicated than becoming a classic PUA. I think it is a more rewarding journey though and the benefits I've gotten from my progress so far are proof enough for me.
