Is there a general criteria where one can officially call themselves a pickup artist? I feel like this is somewhat of a situational thing or an opinion. If you talk to one girl and get her number is that a PUA? Obviously not. I think it is someone who has either number closed or kiss closed multiple women they just met.
The reason I'm asking is because when I move back home for summer vacation, when I tell some of my friends "I'm a pickup artist"I know they will say "What? You have sex with every girl you meet?" or they'll say "Go pickup that girl over there"

When you don't give a shit about "titles"

We need to seriously get a mod to clean this forum up. Move these GQ questions to GQ and keep the lounge clean.

Did you know there are rules to photography? The word "rules" only applies for lack of a better word. It's more like guidelines or steps. The rule of thirds is about arranging an image (a photograph, painting, drawing, etc) in such a way that important aspects of the composition fall onto imaginary lines that divide the media in thirds. Depth, framing, symmetry and/or pattern, leading lines/light... these are all considered to be rules of photography. If you had a step by step list of how to take a photograph, how to operate a fully manual camera, and followed the rules of photography, you could take much better photographs than the average schmuck running around with a Canon T3i.

But would that make you an artist?

Artists have their patrons. PUAs' patrons are women.

When at least 10 women tell you, "Why are you leaving so soon? Can't you stay a little longer?" or "Please fuck me again." or "I think I just had the best fuck of my life." then and only then you become a full pledged pick up artist. If you're not getting laid yet with your pick up performance or if women find you creepy even when you're not being sexual, then you're still an AFC.

But there's a mantra around here: "Fake it until you make it." Full pledged PUAs advice AFCs to frame their minds that they are already there.

When can you call yourself a PUA?

I'm sorry, I might be a PUA or not, because I have the skill to attract women. But to become a PUA is not what I want. I want to become a natural person who knows what to say, do and project towards other women, to make them feel attracted in the short and long term. Find methods that you like, but don't use it EXACTLY the same. That makes you a robot which leads to being fake.

The whole fake it until you make it works short term, but in the long term (e.g. relationships) it will come out that's not the real you, and that you still have no clue how to actually hold attraction.

Still I can give my opinion about it: I think that you're a succesfull PUA when you can attract the women you desire (and the woman who desire YOU, since not every woman is interested in you; FACT) and actually hold that attraction that she will love you (or multiple women love you). They love the way you behave, they desire your high self-esteem ( you can't be a low self-esteem PUA) and want to share their lives, dreams and passions with you. If there is anything more special then a multiple women desiring you, also during sex, then tell me.

A PUA is a pretty low value identity, at least in it's current form. But don't worry, that will change!

But seriously, don't worry about it. Be a man that loves and cherishes women instead. Far cooler.
