This is the start of a sort of journal for myself of the "truisms" I've found throughout the last couple of years. Not everything in here will be a truism but for lack of a better title, that's what I'll call it. Whenever one pops into my head or I stumble across a new one or an existing one changes, I'll post. These are statements that have relevancy and meaning to ME. I'm up for good conversation, but I could careless what anyone thinks of my statements, I'm essentially doing this for myself to keep track of good ideas and concepts that get lost with time. A few more things: not all of these will be about pick-up, and yes, I know a lot of these are rehashes of ideas already on here or elsewhere and they're not epiphanies, and also, some of these are ideas I think are promising and are worth trying in the future so not all of these are field tested, per se. Hopefully I can bring something new to the table once in awhile. Let's get started.




"This "game" is, has been, and always will be a numbers game, don't ever forget that."

"Speaking of the "game," if you really, truly think pick-up is a game, you have bigger problems than women."

"Looks matter, and yes I'm talking about the ones your momma gave you."

"Looks matter, and yes I'm talking about the ones you control."

"Playing aloof and hard to get only works in very specific scenarios, being persistent is a much better option in most cases."

"When approaching, if you have trouble or you're nervous, repeat a comforting phrase over and over. I use "fuck it" "fuck it" "fuck it" or "trust" "trust" "trust" to good effect. Also, don't be in your head anymore than it takes to say those simple phrases."

"If you want to use a "method," pick ONE and use it until you have it memorized or you want to throw up. If you decide that "method" isn't for you, pick ONE other one and repeat the process.Trying to learn 5 different methods at once and use all of them can be summed by the saying 'man who chases two rabbits, catches neither.' Thanks Confucius."

"The hungry don't get fed."

"When in doubt, flip the script."

"Hard-work and education...having one or the other is good but having both is equivalent to having the master key to life."

"People who try to take shortcuts in life often times get cut right out of life."

"Don't be afraid to have many hate you, if a few love you."

"Stick to your guns....if you truly believe in something, stand up for it, even if it costs you pussy, money, and weed."

"Want the one and only foolproof method for getting laid? Go approach."

"You never regret something you've done, you always regret something you failed to do."

"Technique to try: Goes back to being persistent but when inviting a girl out or such, if she says no, keep the conversation up and invite again in a few minutes."

"Fat and ugly people don't get any favors in life, don't be one of them."

"Want that sick body you've always dreamed of? It's real simple: hit the gym and work hard while you're there."

"Regret is a nasty character, don't let him sneak up on you."




Time for bed.

Peace,

Marky Mark

Keep em coming Marky Mark!

Thanks for the feedback man, I'm glad you like them.

"Remember that cool kid in high school who use to get laid like a rockstar? I do and guess what? He wasn't worried about which pickup line/technique he was going to use, so you don't have to be either."

"Line to try: 'Are you single?'"

"I know I already put this one up but I don't want to forget it. I really think the way to go is persistence... persistence approaching, persistence during the approach, persistence after the approach, persistence escalating, etc....if you think a girl is interested at all, keep pursuing the girl until she tells you fuck off or something equivalent to that."

"There's no such thing as a "natural," his skill was learned...whether conscious or unconscious, it was learned."

"There's no such thing as "over-training," for best results in the gym and in the field, train 7 days a week."

"My golden rule when it comes to fitness: Lift hard, eat harder."

"Having a "routine" is perfectly fine, life for most people is just one big jumbled routine...having some scripted bullshit about how you want something to go when dealing with women is not fine. On the same note, keep it simple...if you find something that works, keep using it, even if it's the same damn thing over and over again...there's this attitude in the community that you need to be a dancing monkey and a jack-of-all trades, you don't. Two or three "pick-up lines" in your arsenal is plenty."

"One of my new favorite comments to women, 'You have an artsy/athletic/etc vibe.' Don't be afraid to give sincere compliments."

"Trying to logically deduce anything when it comes to women is not just frustrating, it's impossible."

That's it for now.

Peace,

Marky Mark

Love them, REALLY love "the hungry don't get fed" and the one about education and hard work. One thing I would be remiss if I didn't tell you though is the quote about two rabbits is actully not Confucius, it's a Native American saying that goes "If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both", remember, there are no rabbits in China.
"May you live as long s you want and never want as long as you live"

Approach. Open. Escalate. Isolate

Here are my two essential rules on texting that will save you tons of time and money:

general-questions/topic137931.html

Got a little break from the grind tonight so I figured what the hell:

"Strike when the iron is hot. I can't even count how many sexy girls I've lost because I listened to some "guru" about the 3 day rule...it's complete bullshit, if the girl and you hit it off, get that shit rolling IMMEDIATELY!"

"One that is closely related to the last: Never let the line go slack. Once you have the girl hot and bothered, keep her that way until you fuck her."

"Wanna know the only thing you ever really need to know about general body language? Act as if there was a light string pulling the center of your chest straight up, it'll fix 90% of your body language if done right."

"Don't ever hit the snooze button, literally and figuratively...I can honestly say I've never once hit the snooze button on my alarm and I don't plan to. Life doesn't wait up for the procrastinators and the lazy."

"Act as if, or better known as, fake it til you make it. I've found when you truly act as if something is true, it usually starts becoming true...like everything else in life, this isn't an overnight process, you're not gonna go from geek to freak in 24 hrs, this takes years most of the time. However, I know guy that blew right past security and got onto the field at a fairly high profile football game by flashing a fake VIP pass and acting as if he were suppose to be on that field. He didn't even make eye contact with the guards, he just walked past them like he owned the place and it worked. Little tricks like this are what I'm talking about...if you act like this enough, everyone in life will start treating you like a VIP."

"This next one is one that never really hit me until I read one of Chief's older posts, and once I read it, I literally felt my stomach drop because it hit me so hard. Quit trying to build attraction over a medium such as facebook or text messages, it doesn't work most of the time and when it does its about 1/8 as good as building attraction in person. Why this one hit me so hard is I thought about it for a second and realized how fucking many times I tried to do this and I literally cannot remember one time where it was a smashing success; NOT ONCE. And I had the wittiest, cockiest, funniest, most text book perfect lines you could imagine. In fact, I would bet they would blow out 99.9% of other guy's best lines on this forum...but guess what, it's not what gets you laid and it never got me laid. Drop the feeling that you always need to have the wittiest comeback for every situation, you don't."

"Another absolutely huge one for me: Imitate the best. I'm a very independent person and I like to think for myself and am capable of doing so in most cases. So with that being said, I figured once I had learned the BOOK basics that I could simply make my own shit up without any real experience. I failed miserably. Imitate the best EXACTLY, even if it doesn't seem right or effective, until you've gone way beyond their level. Shit that's been proven to work, works. It's certainly getting better results than your method; use it, it's better than what you can think up on your own...end of story. Also, I'm not talking about a method out of a book...imitate the best that you've seen with your own eyes. Quit trying to innovate, you're not as intelligent as you think you are. What works, has worked for millions of years, you're not gonna magically think up a method that out smarts millions of years of evolution, so quit."

Ok, I've been on my soap box long enough.

Always and forever,

Marky Mark
