After re-reading some of the “Natural PUA” material (consisting mainly of David X, Alan Roger Currie, Mark Manson & Zan Perrion) I’ve come to realize that they are all saying the same thing, more or less, but they have different ways of saying it. I wanted to make a point form list of things they share in common when it comes to women and relationships. They not ordered in any specific importance, in my opinion they all share aspects of #3 and #6.

  1. We Are Our Own Worse Critics – The stem of all social anxiety and self-esteem issues. The truth is, everyone is so caught up with their own self-image that they are not really paying attention to you. Whatever problem you think you have, it’s all in your head.
  2. Men & Women See Attraction Differently – Most men have a tough time understanding this because men view attraction as raw beauty: facial symmetry, breast size, waist size, ass, legs you name it. That’s how we are wired and we don’t know anything else. Women see TRUE CONFIDENCE and TRUE SELF-ASSURANCE. It cannot be faked…like makeup, push-up bras and other stuff.
  3. Who Cares What They Think – Don’t be inhibited to go after what you want. Don’t be afraid to TELL women what you want. Don’t worry about their reaction. Focus on what you want and be who you are. If you’re acting chivalrous just to swoon her, don’t expect her to hang around 3 months down the line when you’re comfortable enough to take off your mask. Be who you are from the start and don’t worry how they perceive you.
  4. TELL don’t ASK – from “Would you like to grab a cup of coffee sometime?” to “Let’s grab a cup of coffee sometime.” Or “I want to grab a cup of coffee with you (tomorrow)” Instead of, “Do you want to hang out again?” go with, “I want to see you again.” Clearly state your desires; we’ve been conditioned to be pussies, so it might take some adjustment.
  5. Never Apologize for Your Intentions and Desires – “Sorry I have a boyfriend.” Don’t respond with, “Oh sorry, I didn’t mean it, I had no idea.” Or if she’s testing your confidence, “Are you asking me out?” “Oh well no, I just meant we could, um –“ Who cares what she thinks, respond with a confident “YES! Of Course I am.”
  6. Put Yourself First – There are some bitches out there who get off on manipulating men. Don’t put up with their crap, dump them. They are not worth the headache and chances are, they’re clouding your vision from meeting truly beautiful women who will treat you right. If you don’t like where the relationship is headed, walk away. A lot of you will have the loser mentality of, “I really want a girlfriend…” What are you doing with your life? Do you have a career? Are you physically fit? Don’t be a lazy slob who is sitting on the couch with self-pity waiting for a woman to throw affection and kisses, to pick you up. You are in control of your life. It’s your steering wheel; women will want to come along for the ride when they see you have somewhere to go. If you like them, bring them along. If they try and take control of the wheel, let them know you’re in charge. They can get out of the car whenever they feel like. Let them know.
  7. If You Love Something Let It Go – Don’t try and control them mentally. If a woman is testing you by flirting with other men, feel free to flirt with other women. Hell, feel free to leave the venue with another woman. Never try and lecture her about her behaviour and her thoughts. You have no right, and it’s an argument you will not win. Women are much more intelligent than men when it comes to these things. If you want her to trust you, tell her not to. Trust is earned. Tell her she shouldn’t trust you until she is comfortable trusting you. She’ll gain your trust immediately. Do you want her to stay with you? Tell her she’s free to leave whenever she wants. You don’t need a reason, you don’t need closure from her. Zan had a great line about this, despite some contradictory statements in other videos, he said something along the lines of, “Take it one day at a time. You like her today, and you want to see her tomorrow. That’s all she needs to know.”
  8. Go After What You Like – Guys, usually younger men, will tend to go after women because of social reasons, because their friends will be impressed and they will avoid going after the ones they are truly attracted to. There’s nothing wrong with being attracted to fat girls, skinny girls, short girls, tall girls, black, white, Asian, brown…the list goes on. If you truly find her attractive, go after her and forget what anybody else thinks (Who cares what they think)
  9. Treat Them All The Same – “Oh she’s a 10, I can’t do this that and the other.” Who cares? When the lights go out and you’re under the sheets or when she has her head buried in your lap, all that matters is how she makes you feel. How much is her ‘perfect’ face worth when you can’t even see it? Generally speaking, the great looking women, the 10’s, they have nothing else to offer other than looks. They’re a novelty. They’re great to hang off of your arm, but there’s nothing else to them. Don’t be so shallow. There are only 2 numbers you should use, a 0 and a 1. 1 = you want to get to know her/sleep with her or 0 = you don’t.
  10. Be Honest – Are you telling her that her dress looks great because you’re trying to get her number, take her out on a date or sleep with her? Stop. Don’t think about how to trick her into a date. Be honest and up front and tell her, “I want to get to know you.” Don’t concern yourself about what her response is going to be. Mark Manson covers this exceptionally well. Your job as a man is to make your intentions clear. Even if it’s casual sex! Don’t be afraid to state your desires.
  11. Don’t Worry About the Outcome – Take it one minute at a time. You don’t know anything about this stranger; everything you think you know is what you’ve constructed in your head. Say hello and tell her that you’re interested and you want to know more. If she says she’s not interested, who cares…move on to the next one. Ask her if she has a sister or a friend she can introduce you to.
  12. The One Who Loves Less Controls The Relationship – I think Mark Manson is the only guy who doesn’t cover this, granted he is the youngest of the ‘Naturals’ mentioned above. Find out how much she likes you, and give her a little bit less. It’s an eternal chase in a sense, at least that’s what I get out of it. Zan’s “I like you today, I want to see you again tomorrow.” Works perfectly in my opinion because there is no long-term commitment. It will create the everlasting chase fantasy.
  13. Stick to Your Guns – This applies to more than just women and seduction. If you have a rule, stick to it. If you have a rule about sleeping with a woman within a set number of dates, don’t break it just because she’s “hot” or “sweet” or whatever. If you decide on a causal relationship and want to change it later on because you’re ‘falling for her’, you better hope she feels the same, otherwise you have no right getting upset if she no longer wants to see you. If you’re in a committed relationship but aren’t ready to get married and she gives you the ultimatum, “Either marry me or we’re breaking up.” Don’t marry her just to salvage the relationship. Remember, she’s willing to walk away from you if you don’t follow her rules. Stick to yours! You’re in the driver’s seat!
  14. Be Wary of Setting a Precedent – When you set a precedent, everything goes to shit. If you let a woman get away with something, there’s no turning back. Once a man loses his dignity in the eyes of his woman (or anyone else for that matter), he can never get it back. This is usually why it’s so damn hard to get your ex back. If you let your partner cheat on you once, you’ll let them cheat on you twice. If a woman is in an abusive relationship and she goes back to the man that abused her, she will subconsciously seek abusive relationships. Stop it right in its tracks and walk away. For those of you who are just reading this stuff, if you’re in a relationship you’ve already set a precedent somewhere. Changing it now will most likely result in the end of your relationship, but it might be the best decision you’ve made.
  15. Learn to Walk Away – One of the most overlooked of the tips that constantly gets repeated. Sometimes pursuing a particular woman is just not worth it. Walking away is the easiest thing you can do, whether it be in an approach, early on in the relationship or after a long term commitment.
  16. STOP & NO – Feel free to go as far as your balls will let you, but if you hear these two words – I don’t care if it’s during an approach or after she’s had you in her mouth – you must stop. If it’s in a bar setting, just walk away, you’re better off without her. If it’s in the bedroom, stop and ask her what’s wrong. If she’s not comfortable, DO NOT GO ON. Now that that’s cleared up, if she slaps your hand away, pushes you away, this is all part of the game. It’s like a cat and mouse game, she loves being desired and wants you to chase her. She wants you to catch her. You have the green light up until you hear either of those two magical words, STOP and/or NO.

These are the similarities that I’ve picked up. I’m sure I missed other stuff, but in my opinion these 16 points are the most important. And as you read them, you will begin to see other points from the list within them. I hope this helps.
