University. The bane for some, the fond memories for others, and the greatest time of your life for you. The University term is about to start once more and for those of you are about to attend, I'm sure that you have heard wondrous and disastrous things about these sanctums of knowledge. Those who prepare never fully understand what world they are about to set foot in, while others pass by through it without realizing what they could have gained.

But who am i you may ask. Ah, this is a question which has plagued countless scholars and seekers. I am but a humble wisp of experience, a guide on your path to self-realization. Alright, seriously though,. I'm RationalPUA. I've been personally studying Pickup and Philosophy outside of my everyday activities for about a year and a half. Before University (And before i found these life-altering theories and practices), i was as most of you probably were/are, a "Nerd", "Dork", "Creep"... A Loser. Some could say Suicidal. But lets get out of that depressing pit i just threw you in, After altering everything about my life and personality, i can safely say i am the happiest i am at this instance. What i am going to take you on is a ride not fit for the causal eye. If you are willing to motivate yourself to follow these practices and theories i set before you, you will become a changed man. Not a changed person, but you will see the world with a different eye.

As i stated, this guide will be broken up into three parts and all will be distributed within a month, in time for September enrollment.

  • Part 1: looking at your inner self, and Why are you different? (A mix of Philosophy and PUA Theory)

  • Part 2: Consists of practicing your mind to think a certain way and seeing what fits you (Inner game)

  • Part 3: Practices and tools to arm yourself for university. (Pick-Up Practice)

Each section will be self contained however for the full effect, i suggest you read from start to finish.

Buckle up.

A very clever man by the name of Sigmund Freud once thought up the theory of the Id, Ego and Super-Ego. They are the three states of mentality that your mind is at any given time. The Id is your primal self, your inner most desires, in other words, when people talk about what the dick wants, that is your Id. Your Ego is your commons sense and reason, how you go day by day and act within social communities. Almost as if a mask to the world. Your Super-Ego is your conscious. It is your moral compass and your educational influences. The Super-Ego can manifest as Teachers, Parents and even idols. Now how does this relate to pick up at all you might ask. This is the core. The inner most ideals of game. How though?

When you see a lady you want to form a personal bond with, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Sex. Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. It's in our programming. We as men must breed, its our basic instincts. However due to social constraints, we are unable to choose the woman and just take them as they stand. That would be considered Rape of course. We must follow the rituals of "Courtship" in order to please women. This has been trained into your brain from birth. How to treat a lady. Movies. Books. All sorts of media telling you that all you have to do is follow these rules to get the girl. This works, but only to men born of better instincts. You heard me right. Some people were just born to be naturally attractive. We should just accept it right? No. Wrong. Oh my god you are killing me. Get out. We are men. We fight. But as luck would have it, we live in an age where the brain is mightier than the brawn. And that is how we have found a loophole and exploited it deeply. Now do you remember our little discussion about the Id, Ego, and Super-Ego? It's inside everyone. That's right, those urges to sweep a woman off her feet are in a woman's head too. And you know what? They are not looking for an ego. They are looking for an Id. But once again, Social norms constrain us. Its about the releasing the Id with a tight leash attached.

When anyone first looks at pick-up. Its all about the woman. But once you delve into it, you learn, it never was, never to begin with. Pick up isn't about little secrets to get you laid, but rather how to become the better you. No one likes a deviant, however everyone likes honest people. Would you rather stay a bitter old man, tricking everyone? Or would you rather build yourself to be liked for who you are. That is why many fall on the path to excellence. Before you head into university, i'm sure you had to follow a path or get lost in the wind. In other words adapt or die. To a degree that is true. However you choose what path to follow. As you enter university, you soon learn that EVERYONE... no not just a secluded few... EVERYONE is new at this once more. And you know what? Everyone will be interested if you have something to give. You will make friends, maybe enemies, but no one will hate you for who you are at the heart. Sound soppy? Get used to it. We as humans communicate by both a vocal language and a body language. If you are open to everyone, everyone will be open to you. There are over seven billion people in this world. What makes you think that everything that matters is all about you? Kick back, argue for what you believe and people will start to believe in you. Don't stay close minded and never ever take life too seriously. I went to a house part in the second term of my first year, I didn't know anyone else except the person i was going with as he was the one who invited me. The moment i got there i made a mission to get to know everyone so that i wouldn't be excluded. Some guy and i were talking about Pokemon for gods sake. This girl came up to us with the obvious "Pokemon is for kids". First indication of social acceptance, she came to us to voice that opinion. I challenged her on that topic, i asked her why do i have to stop liking Pokemon just because i am older? Their fascination hasn't disappeared, it just stopped becoming popular however i still found them intriguing. And where did i learn this? A close friend at university. We were listening to Blink 182 and i told him that it reminded me of my angsty teenage years and felt very childish. He challenged me asking me if there was anything wrong being a kid at heart. Don't aim to please anyone for fear they wont accept you, but rather instigate what is valuable to you and show that what you have to say matters.

Are you afraid of people looking deep into your soul and not liking what they see? Are you afraid of crowded places for fear of being outcast? I heard someone say this quite recently. The greatest disguise in a crowd is by simply being there. You may ask yourself how am i better than everyone else here? The question you should be asking is how is everyone else up to your standards. You are the rockstar of the moment yet a blade of grass in a field. Ever had the feeling "She is too good for me" or "I am not up to her standards". As the professional PUA Tyler Durden had said, "That amount of respect you give is all in your head.". She gains as much value as you give her. However if you do not value her, then why should she value you? There is a theory in physics called Schrödinger's cat. Oh dear RationalPUA, how in hell does this apply to Pick up. Well Schrödinger's cat is a theory based on quantum physics. A cat is sealed in a box with a flask of poison that could be released at any given moment. How do we know if the cat is alive or not without opening the box? We don't. Therefore we must assume that it is both alive and dead at the same time. A woman is as much value as you give her, however she is never without value. But the fact is, It is all in your head. I could tell a very ugly man to go up to a super model and tell him to try and hit on her. He may feel awkward and shy. Why? Because he thinks he is out of her standards. But remember this is all in his head. If we took that presumption away, one might suggest that he has an impossible amount of confidence to try and hit on her. When you give value to a woman, you are putting up road blocks. And when you take away value, you take away motivation. However add these together and you get confidence. Confidence just comes from how much you value the person and the outcome. So remember kids, its all in YOUR head.

And there we have it. Part I of your trip to self entitlement. I hope you have found this rather revealing and insightful as you prepare for university. It's not about the destination but the journey (Corny aye?)

Homework - Every single time you spend extended periods of time with someone. Instigate an in-depth conversation about a single topic, whether it be a movie or toilet habits, its up to you.

If you have any questions feel free to ask/PM, Next post will be on 10/8/2012

Long Live and Prosper
