I took a bit of time off the site, and 110% of time in the field.

I had to; I realized I don't know jack shit about this "pick-up" stuff, and I probably never will.

I read that Mystery stuff, those other e-books, and "know" the techniques. Yet, I didn't achieve results.



...man, fuck this. I've got my "present moment" back on focus; it's just become a natural part of who I am.

It doesn't matter how much you read or "know". I went...man, fuck this. I don't even go out to clubs to practice.

I "practice" every second I'm outside. A random person within my vicinity; a co-worker; a classmate; anyone in my vicinity...I just do what I do. I do Rune.

And Rune...is a product of what I "knew", and I just took what I "knew", and made it mine.

I am no teacher; I am no sage.

I am a fucking idiot, for all everyone else knows. YET, "I" know and feel that I am not.

I don't know you. I....oh fuck this.

No one cares what another person has to demonstrate; it's irrelevant to the other person.



I don't aim to prove myself as the smartest guy in the world; that ... doesn't work.

I merely wish to do what works. Proof in the pudding. I do, and this happens. I don't do, this doesn't happen.



In my own opinion, ...(man, I don't even feel like typing this crap), it's not what you re...ok, honestly; I feel like if I'm to share information, I should be paid for it. (Not HERE persay, but I understand why people charge for life-altering information, and I'll tell you this, money isn't the main reason).



I know nothing, except what I know.


Guys are taking this PUA stuff, and DESTROYING potential relationships because they follow the book, not the author...

They follow the BOOK, not the AUTHOR.



I do not teach, I merely wish to bond. Everyone knows this stuff already; are we not an evolve species?

Man is not an island; we are ISLANDS!!!! Islands make up the EARTH....oh fuck this shit. I gotta get this habit of acting like an uncertified teacher out of my head.

Do as The Man DOES, not as The Man SAYS.




With that, I re-read the PUA books. I want to meet the author...

You want to someone or something make you PUA? Make PUA by yourself!

Hobbit , you crack me up.
LOL

I don't have a clue what you're on about.

The book is a product of what the author is saying, so surely by reading the book you're listening to what he is saying?

Do you even know what you're talking about yourself? The amount of "fuck this"'s is confusing. Fuck what, exactly?

ditto

I read the first few lines and wanted to kill myself

what are you on about

haha

I think I understand, at least partially. Correct me where I'm wrong, Rune.

If anyone has read the book "Siddartha" by Herman Hesse, skip this paragraph. I'll paraphrase what the book is about. Basically, Siddartha is a little boy born into the Brahman caste in India. All he has to do is live out a reasonable life obeying his parents, and he will attain Nirvana. Little Siddartha doesn't believe all these different people who say Nirvana is the shit, and goes off to live with ascetics. He realizes that that's crap. He then meets the "Buddha" who has achieved enlightenment, but he rejects the teachings of the Buddha because Siddartha has not experienced what the Buddha has experienced. Siddartha then goes out and lives out all the vices of the world, and realizes it kind of sucks, then he listens to a river and becomes the next Buddha.

Ok, that was long-winded and way too short for my liking. Nonetheless, here's the important part: Siddartha rejects the teachings of the first Buddha because he has not had the Buddha's experiences.

I could follow every little bit of advice that the great PUA's write in their books. But I will always fall short of that "Nirvana" because I cannot fully embrace the information the PUA's expound. Why is that? It is because I haven't had the life experiences that demonstrate the WHY to these things.

Here's the difference: you get your motivation to go sarging because Vin DiCarlo told you so much about how it will improve your life and you'll feel great. Vin DiCarlo got HIS motivation from living in the back of a van forever, being so miserable that he was determined to become the best.

Have you lived in the back of your van for a long time? No? Well, that's Rune's point. You will never have the same motivation to get the same level of success that Vin DiCarlo has, because you have not had his life experiences.

Rune says "I know nothing except what I know" (Pardon the misquote, this is an edit). He can't truly "know" anything except things that he has experienced otherwise it is the difference between knowing, and "knowing".

Anyway, I could go on and on forever about this, since it's such a cool topic, but I'll pass the ball back to everyone else for critiques.

AFC Royal, your post is quality. Whether or not that is what Rune was trying to say, a lot of us really do need to focus more on gaining experience and less on blindly following methods
