| Hey Fellow PUA's,
I go by Clozer. After 5 years of being in a hellish relationship where my girlfriend punished me for even unconsciously glancing at another female and controlling every minute of my life, I was left bereft and defeated. After a dramatic breakup where she had to be hauled away by an ambulance for attempted suicide, I was now a free man for the first time in my life. After about 6 months of recovery from that breakup a new man emerged. My life as a solo PUA began. This was 10 years ago.
Ten years ago I didn't know about any methods or communities for this art. I was just all by myself. I was 24 and had only been with less women than you could count on one hand. I was a loner in highschool because I was an extremely shy guy. But now I was 24 and the need to connect with beautiful women became overwhelming. I'd see guys around me getting laid and walking around with beautiful women and I thought to myself, "How is that guy any better than me?".
I was mesmerized by beautiful women. I had just finished college and I came back to my hometown in the Bay Area. From there a new me slowly started to evolve. My inner-self was so tormented by my shyness and the need to get laid that finally I just exploded and started sarging non-stop. I just said to myself, "Fuck it. If I get rejected, it's no big deal. I'm not going to see that person ever again. And 5 years down the road they will never remember this day anyways."
Sarging. Back then I didn't even know the word. I called it macking back then. I had no technique whatsoever. But slowly, over the months and years I put the peaces of the puzzle together all by myself. I developed my own technique. I became a master at street pickup. That all started 10 years ago.
Only a year ago did I start hearing the term PUA and become aware of the PUA material, techniques and PUA communities. To tell you the truth, I have only seen Mystery's The Pick-up Artist and passively browsed a couple of seduction websites. What I realized from watching The Pick-up Artist is that I had already unconsciously learned some of the same things that Mystery was teaching all by myself.
I consider Mystery a master, especially in the bar/club scene. Personally, I don't like to pick up girls in these places. I think it's tougher than working the streets, which is where I am most proficient. So in that regards, I really respect a master PUA who can work these tough areas (bars and clubs) like a pro.
If you asked me my score. I would tell you I honestly don't know. I kept records or names and dates up until 376. After that I just started feeling guilty about it and thought that I should try to find something more meaningful in my life. I stopped counting about 3 years ago. My activity has tappered off since then but I would imagine I am somewhere between five and six hundred now.
About 3 years ago I had a traumatic experience which was a result of my PUA activity. This is a story for another time. But since then my activity has slowed and I ended up finding a wonderful girl and getting the right kind of love. If you're a guy, though, you'll understand that love and sex are two completely separate things.
Life with the right woman is meaningful. But the PUA will always be in me. There is some intangible gratification that perhaps only a man can understand in the art of picking up women. It's about knowing that you can control your own destiny. It's about knowing that you are the master of your own universe. And as you evolve, hopefully you can use the PUA art to be successful in other areas of your life as well. I look forward to being a part of this community, posting field reports and sharing knowledge with fellow PUA's.
