Just like college, everyone encourages us to get into PUA, but no one ever really says anything about the price. Well, after crunching a few numbers, I've come to a total spending of $13,260 to PUA related purchases or spending within the last two years. By that, I mean new clothes, travel expenses, books, and recreational expenses.

Perhaps to some of you, this is not considered a lot of money. To me, it's over half my current annual earning, before taxes. Suffice to say, in the past two years, a quarter of my earnings went to support my new found hobby of Pick-Up. Though I'm not overly upset about it, I'd like to give a hand to my peers, especially the poor ones like me, on how to avoid as much of these expenses as possible.

A few money saving advices:

1.) Don't spend too much on clothes. I've learned that a large majority of women don't care whether you shop at the Gap or at WalMart for your outfits. If you look good in it and you like it, that's all that should matter to you! Social upkeep is over-rated!

2.) To avoid club admission fees, start getting in good with bouncers. By that, I mean actually talk to them. Learn their names, buy them a drink at the end of the night. Most of them are pretty cool.

Make sure they know your name! If you ever reach that stage where you can get in for free, don't be a dick and try to get in five or six of your friends for free. It's disrespectful to the bouncer and the club. One's enough, two is pushing it if they're not a usual. Also, this automatically gives you credibility, when people (by that I mean women) sees you walk past the line, shake the bouncers' hands and be allowed in immediately.

3.) If your car is not shit hot looking, KEEP IT CLEAN!

I drive a 1995 white Toyota Corolla. It has over 300,000 miles on it and sounds like a rubble of falling rocks going down a road. But I wash it once a week, my interior is well kept, and I can spare two bucks a month on a decent air freshener. Remember, you spend more time being INSIDE your car than you probably do staring at it. So will most women you've Picked Up!

4.) Learn to cook!

Not only does this give you MAJOR brownie points on an post-second date, but it saves you a ton of cash outside of your PUA lifestyle. No more eating out! You'll also likely start losing a bit of weight because there's less preservatives.

5.) Baby oil is just as an effective massage oil/lotion as one that's flown in from France. Warm it up a little prior by putting the bottle in a container of hot water. Or mix the two, two parts baby oil, one part warm water.

6.) When all else fails, RENT a movie instead of going to the theaters. Unless she's expressed that she wants to see a particular movie prior, the main experience of a date is too spend time together. If you're low on cash or ideas of where/what to do/say or both, RENT a movie.

Keep in mind to RENT a movie, not watch one you already have or borrow one from a friend. You have to show/maintain the illusion you've given the date some thought to show her a good time at your own convenience and expense.

Note: This is for a casual date, further down the relationship. Not for the first few dates!

7.) Don't over do it on the books. I have over twenty books related to Pick Up and seduction alone. I've only managed to have finished reading half of those books and remember only a third of what I've read. Only really applied a third of what I remembered. But I know that almost every book I've read thus far repeats of the same messages and lessons, if only in a different order or wording.

8.) If you're a drinker, Pre-Game if you know you'll end up in a bar or club later that night.

That's all I've managed to hit on, they're the main ones I've found I can change about myself. Feel free to add on.

I think this is a great thread, rated it 5*. I spent so much money on my first gf, to hell with spending money on picking up girls.

To add to the content of this thread,

9) If dates are your thing, do something original that costs no money. My favourite is driving to the middle of nowhere and walking around fields chatting and laughing.

10) With regards to clothes and your wardrobe, experiment with wearing two different tops at the same time in certain styles to create a new effect, rather than buying a whole new top.

11) When buying food, buy “one” food that you can both share. This is cheaper, more romantic and you can still split the cost. A recent example of mine is a bagel. Not very romantic but hey, she offered and I thought what a great idea. Then my ex-gf cock blocked me. WHAT A BITCH.

12) If all else fails and you find yourself paying for an expensive dinner (I never take girls out to restaurants unless I specifically want to), kick her in the crotch and run!

I disagree. It does matter what clothes you wear. But it more matters where you live, the quality of the girl, and where you are going to on your date. I am not saying you need to buy designer labels. But at the same time it is best to dress appropriate. On a side note girls will judge your economic level base on what you wear. So keep that in mind.

More importantly make sure your car is maintained well, which also includes keeping it clean. I know car repairs can be expensive and most are. But if the girl hears or see that your car is about to fall apart, that "con" will stay in her mind and will make her think twice about getting in next time.

To add what was said already:

13) There are loads of cheap to free places you can go to for dates. There is no reason to get all fancy on dates. A simple walk thru the park/beach is fine for a date. Or going to a local concert. Awesome places to look for cheap dates is your city local paper (if it has one) and local news paper. As well as online. A lot of these events that get advertise in the local paper tend to be pretty unique and either free or pretty darn cheap. So it is definitely worth looking into. Plus it can also present kick ass places to pick up girls as well.

14) When you are going cheap on dates, don't make it bluntly obvious to the girl or tell her. She will most probably notice it, but the last thing she wants to hear is how you are about to go cheap on a date with her. Most girls will understand if you don't have the money to spend, especially in todays economy.

This is a great post, I've understood that pick up can be expensive for some people.
However I've always managed to keep the cost down, here are a few of my ideas, they may be similar to already posted ides but that just means that it works!

I buy all my clothes at the outlet malls, I only shop for clothes like twice a year but I buy a LOT when Im there, you'll find great designer clothes for great prices

I don't drink when I sarge, not only is it cost effective but it also keeps your mind sharp, I do drink if someone buys me a drink.

I also go to bars and lounges rather than clubs, it doesn't cost anything to go to these places and he music volume is better so it's easier to talk to people.

And when it comes to dates, I agree with previous posts, there is no need to spend a lot of money on a date, just do something fun together!

I make good money at the moment but I don't see any reason to change my ways, guys who show off their money are simply AFCs who won't get any respect from girls!

Alright . . . some of the pros here might get pissed but what the hell.

Fuck the books and seminars and all that crap. This isn't brain surgery. If you can ask your mom for "lasagna on Friday", then you can surely figure out a way to get a girl to take off her panties. Plus, there is nothing you can't gain from this forum that you can gain from some book/seminar. Most people seem to need some sort of assurance that what they're doing is right or wrong. Well, if you "open" wrong, you won't die. Trust me.

Few more things:

*(Depending on your age) Get yourself a cocktail shaker and some martini glasses and figure out how to make some really good cocktails. This is very easy to do. No bar can ever make a cocktail better than you. Their game is SPEED and cost control. You have all the time in the World and if you're only making a few glasses, you can splurge on the best, freshest ingredients and it'll still cost you far less than hitting a cocktail bar. "Come over, I'll muddle up some mango martinis . . ." (This is a GREAT routine) There is no time when my "bar" isn't fully stocked. Multiple glasses are always pre-chilled in the fridge.

* Besides the "cooking", also figure out a signature dessert(s) that is uniquely yours. So while you watch a movie or whatever, you just bring a tray out and start chomping. She goes, "What's that?" and you go, "What this? It's a 7 layer congo bar. Try it."

Girls want legitimate excuses to cover up their need to come over your house to get their horny fuck on. It is very easy for them to tell their friends, "Hey, I'm going to ____'s house for martinis. He's shaking up chocolate martinis! Yum . . . " Easy . . . make it easy for them.

Not if you do this correctly. Do it correctly and they'll stick to you like glue and do anything you ask of them.

I agree with what you are saying, I used to work as a bartender myself for a few years, and being able to make amazing drinks is impressive to women, especially if you are good at flairing.

I have been in the game for a long time now and I'm doing great, but I have spend like $200 on books total, and nothing on training. There is no need for over priced "gurus"

Also I just want to add, yes if you show off your money and do it right you can get a lot of ladies that way. But, then the questions comes in, are you in it to fuck every skirt you can lift or are you in it to find a girl you can actually talk to?
If I meet a girl who is interested in me for my money I don't care if she's a 10, she can go fuck herself!

I understand that different PUAs are in the game for different reasons, I'm not in it to find the girl of my dreams, I enjoy the company of many women, but even then, I have preferences!

This is really the mantra of man . . . we are one dimensional creatures.

We like a girl's punani, we like a girl's this or that. . . . But even if woman describe us in this way, this is not how they think. They are an emotional species. So they gather ALL the stimulus and come up with, "I LIKE HIM!" or "I DON'T LIKE HIM" or all the crazy things in between.

Your money is obviously a part of her equation. It's one thing to flaunt your money as if this is the ONLY thing you have. To show her that she's headed towards a life of orgasm filled fun + whatever the hell she wishes to do that money allows = whatever the punanai you wish to fuck.

The money aspect of being a PUA is such an important thing to calibrate. If you are spending 100+ dollars to sleep with a girl, then you are missing some essential points to the game here!

I go on a lot of dates, 3-5 a week, and i am by no means rich. I keep a tally of how much I spend on a girl before i fuck her, my average is under 20 dollars. There are a few KEY points that have pretty much been mentioned, but a few of my little secrets that I didn't really see, so I will just go over a few:

1. Never buy dinner! Either meet up after 8 and just grab drinks or cook.

cooking scores points on so many levels. It is significantly cheaper, They will be impressed, and they are in your house/apartment!

2. Music instead of TV.

Movies are distracting and they can cost money if you are renting. Put on the radio or a cd. I have my computer hooked up to my speakers so I go on pandora.com and let them pick their favorite genre of music and we sit on the couch by candle light and talk. It can be one of the most romantic dates they have been on in a while.

3. Drinks.

I enjoy wine...I always find out what kind of wine she likes and I pick up a big bottle of yellow tail brand. it is cheap. You can pick up the double bottle for 10 dollars and you probably won't even finish the bottle by the time you are fucking.

As far as learning pick up and buying books ect. that can be quite expensive. the truth is, you should read at least 2 books aside from the game. Any more is over kill, and you will learn the most from your personal experience. There is also plenty of material online!

To be honest, I've never spent a single penny on anything related to this. Since I do most of my pickups at school or in public places, I don't need to pay for meals for entrance. Needless to say, I pretty much only day game.

I can cook, I can entertain (play bass or piano), I have extensive movies that I'm sure they'd be interested in. I'm sure every AFC tries to take them out. Why not do something different? Why not show them a piece of what you really are?

Oh, and if you're buying clothes specifically for this purpose.......just no. Buy clothes if your current clothes are worn out or if you want a style change, don't buy stuff because you presuppose it will bring you more luck with women. Come on.

Guys,

You don't spend money on women in order fuck them. You spend money because it's fun. Work on your professional lives. There's no reason to be a tight ass all your life. Spend some money. Get out once in a while. Try out some good restaurants. Go to some fancy clubs. The way some of you write, it seems fucking 1,000 girls in some trailer park is your goal in life.

You get it, I get it, we get it. We like women. We like to fuck them. We can fuck women without spending a dime. Congrats . . . Clap, clap, clap . . .

Get over it and start living . . .

Why even bother with buying any PUA books? Most of the info you need is here on this message board and you can also search the internet for more.

I don't know if Meetup groups exist in all parts of the US, but around here there's quite a few to choose from...singles meetup groups, nightlife meetup groups, karaoke meetup groups, movie meetup groups, party meetup groups...you name it! Check Meetup dot com to see what's in your area.

There's quite a few good things about these meetup groups:

1) There tends to be lots of singles looking for things to do (and people to do!).

2) They tend to schedule stuff at places that are cool to be and have a good crowd (no reason you can't meet folks outside the meetup group too!)

3) They tend to find the deals, like the bars, restaurants, or lounges that have drink specials or food specials.

Just a thought.
