Post subject:  Your PUA title
Who uses their PUA title in real life? Do you use it just when gameing or is it your nickname? Why did you choose this name? What reactions do you get to your PU?
I always use it when gameing. It was my nickname way back when. I was called this because I loved the 70s road movie Vanishing Point & have scruffy curly hair like the lead character Kowalski does. People ask if I am of Polish descent.

I don't I get called Jay a lot in real life but Jaybot was just the first thing I spotted when I looked around my room when thinking of a username. It came from a registration plate a friend made to go on the back of a robot costume I made for my 20th.

It's a funny question for me because I started on this site called 'gamble', but of course I got confused with 'gambler' too much. This confusion did not subside when I changed my name to 'R.Gamble' (are people this stupid?), so I finally changed to my real first name.

Thing is, people call me Gamble in real life so I just want to be me, gamble. They call me gamble because of my risky (break)dance moves and because I gamble too much.

When I started PU I told HB's my name was gamble. Then I realised this came across as try-hard. Now I tell them my name is Rafiel (it is) if I particularly like them/want more than fuckbuddies. Otherwise I just make up a name haha. Oftentimes a girl will guess that I lied and I make them work and qualify themselves for me to see them worthy of telling them my real name, which works well. I got a k-close from just that routine in a club the other day.

Initially when I was first starting out, I'd always use my real name for Daygame which in my opinion is when I met a girl's "real personaility" and not just some bitchy, egotiscal veneer I had to get around come nightime.

However come nightime, gaming girl's in the club, everytime they asked for my name (especially if it was less than 30 minutes into the interaction) I'd always give a fake name.
This was a) as mentioned the girls put on a bitch shield and it sent a message that I too was not being myself- and b) it helped my build a new idenitity I could step into.

I usually go by my PUA name.

Long story short, I accidently had no-condom sex once, the girl freaked after she sobered up and I sobered up and she thought I knocked her up (which isnt true at all) but she knew my name and she was like You're ****** *********** right? And I was like OF COURSE NOT, I'm (add bullshit name here).

I use my real name cause. Most people can't pronounce Mithos correctly and when they do they start thinking that I'm Greek for some reason.

The name Mithos comes from the main villian of the game Tales of symphonia. He wanted to end segregation and racism by making all humans the same.

I use my real name and I suggest all of you do the same. Use all the canned material you want but at least be yourselves when you go out there. Building a persona when going out makes no sense to me, if pick up is something you want to truly do, make it a part of yourself and be congruent about it and have the right frame.

My name comes from the movie Neverending Story. It's the name of the horse that sank in the swamp of sorrows, because he got depressed and gave up. I did a similar thing a few years ago, so I've used the name to remind myself not to repeat that mistake.

I have more nicknames than I have socks, and a couple of my friends do call me Artax. I also answer to Max, Bill, Pete, Luke, and Hoss. I've acquired other nicknames as well, but those listed are the most common. Artax is the only name I've chosen for myself, people just keep giving me nicknames. It isn't that confusing though, if someone who has always called me Max suddenly calls me Pete I won't hear them. Somehow, my subconscious just keeps track. :P

My family and friends refer to me by my first and middle name. Whenever I introduce myself as my first and middle name though, I feel like I'm getting 'the look'.
I feel like it comes across as 'try hard', because it is different. Is this just a framing or a state thing on my end, or Is the whole PU alias thing just something that = kinda lame crap that works for 'Mystery' types? Both?

when talking to people, i use my real name, and i agree that you really should use your real name. if you have to step entirely into a new persona, how can you justly say that it's you?

my friend was remarking how i attract guys from all walks of life, and she made the comment that i'm like "flypaper for men". the name stuck and my boss calls me that now. meems is what my sister calls me.

My middle names vivyan. Back in school up to year 10 i had no friends - obviously no girlfriend. I was bullied pretty badly and called vivyan. Its a girls name - yeah sure. After my nan who died - spelt differently. Apparently the way its spelt its indian boys name. I dont care tbh. Then I said fuck it - I guess I am who I am and if others want to call me by it then i guess ill adopt VIV as a nickname. But Im a selfish evil bastard who was born a cunt im afraid. Always In trouble and always had a deceptive way with words. I replaced the I in VIV with a trident as a personality trait. But there is no key pad for a trident. So V1V is the next best thing I guess. In person I tel people my name is V. They say - for vendetta you mean? I always reply - something along them lines :P :twisted: .

I use my real name when sarging. Madals is just a clever play on letters.
Adam backwards with the initials of my middle and surname.
Mada - L - S

"Stormy" is a nickname I've had in real life since 2004, because I resemble the Sealab 2021 character. I used different nicks until I got with RSD, and I finally settled on this one because I was a semi-natural before I got into pickup, and learning routine-based method had kinda stifled me.

Once I went natural, though, I realized that I needed to get back to my roots and use the personality that had gotten me success in the past, and improve on it. So I'm back to "Stormy." Kickin' it old-school.

Well, I always use my real name... It is just online that I think it is nice to have a cover!
