Greetings from Dakar, Senegal!

Some of you may know me from chat. Obviously I don't post alot on this forum or I would have made this in "PUA Lounge," but for now, I guess i am too noob or too lazy for the forum's preferences. I am devastated that chat is down because I have have some incredible information to share with all of you. No this is NOT a guide full of methods and shit, but what it is, are some general observations about the successes of my roommates at picking up women. A few weeks ago, I thought that western culture was amazing with its written PUA code/community and plethora of mPUA's sharing and selling information to the public and teaching you how to "pick up" girls. But then my trip to Africa thus far has revealed alot about the nature of social interaction.

Returning back to a more primitive society (Senegal), you realise that the development of pick up is actually a sad thing. It shows that the men in our society has regressed from what we were once able to do and that we now need a teacher to tell us what we need to do to successfully procreate. Living in a household with 4 other African men who are all extremely proficient with women, I ask myself, what is it that made them so good with women? A PUA from England came and taught them? They were just born to do this? Does it matter? All i see is them consistently getting results, pulling women back to their homes when they want. So then I decided i would have a heart to heart man talk with one of them and ask them what it is that makes them so successful with women, and I noticed a few key things.

1. Experience
Experience develops everything. That is why when you apply to jobs, employers like to know that you are experienced. The same goes for women. One PUA here once said, "Confidence is not knowing that you are sexy, good looking and successful, its knowing that you can handle any situation that arises to challenge you." So how do we become confident in terms of that PUA's language? We become experienced. We expose ourselves to situations that teach us how we should act the next time. We can stay at home and read 100 ebooks on inner game and routines and female psychology, but similar to when you are studying for your dreaded final exams (Mine just finished before i went on a plane to the world's poorest continent - im crazi i know), you know that the best way to consolidate concepts is to practice them via application. The same thing is with Pick up. You can learn 100 methods, but in the end, you will end up using probably a mixture of 2-5 of them. This is from my experience. To give you a glimpse of my game, (and the chance for other mpuas to criticize it), I revolve around using Vin dicarlo's methods and 60 years of challenge for escalation and AFCAdam's investment models for handling relationships. Aside from this, I know more methods than you care to know.

1. An understanding of what women think
While there are alot of products that can help you understand what motivates women and turns them on, nothing teaches you the truth about this matter better than experience. In fact, although there are general guidelines that you can follow when you interpret women, there is (sadly) no concrete textbook definition for our opposite sex. You may understand that Kino turns women on, and that women are motivated by their motherly instincts and socially conditioned to fear pregnancy and STDs as a deterent against sex, but there is much more to this. In fact, we must look deeper and understand what the girl wants AT THAT MOMENT. As girls grow, they mature, and they become motivated by different things. For example, you may meet a girl who went from wanting a boyfriend with alot of material things to give her, to a girl who wanted to date the popular guys, to a girl who matures and wants to have a financially stable male to secure the rest of their lives. At any point in the interaction, you have to understand what it is that women want right then and there. You have to talk to the girl, and be GENUINELY interested in finding out her motivations, and only then can you know the strategy for attack.

2. Escalation
I cannot stress how important escalation is. Most girls want sex, they like it as much as we do, but social constraints prevents them from making the first move. They either risk being labeled a slut, or seeming too easy and running into an irresponsible guy. Thus, the responsibility rests on you to escalate. There are MANY MANY methods of escalation (ie. Dicarlo's Ladder, 60 years of challenge's microescalation, etc.).

3. Going direct
Going direct shows confidence. Alot of guys think that its easier to go indirect and suddenly swap into "im picking u up," or even, "Ill pick u up without you even knowing what went on" First of all, the first method is rarely useful. Its not like when you ask a girl for the time and then transition to a full blown conversation that she doesn't know what you're trying. The second method is jsut for guys who think they have done that. All girls know they are getting picked up when a guy goes up and has a conversation with them and asks for their number or escalates to a kiss close. So why not go direct. Everyone here is fearless. It gets rid of that horrendous A.A. when you can straight up go up to a girl you see and want, and tell her "I think you're extremely attractive, and I know i would hurt myself later tonight if i didn't come talk to u right now.. What is the first thing I need to do to get you to fall in love with me?" There you go, you can jack my line, just dont use it in Vancouver. If you do this, I guarantee you blow outs don't hurt as much. And even if they do hurt, get over it, it was nothing personal.

I hope you take time to finish reading and digesting this post. If you do, great, i hope your game improves. If not, great, one less person to compete against.

Cheers!
