Post subject:  Sun Tzu's Art of Pick Up
It's my opinion that the goal of talented military strategists is peace, not war. They seek to reduce suffering, not create them. It's also my belief that the principles of strategy remain the same, regardless of whether you're a 6 year old dealing with 3 pieces of candy amongst 5 friends, 70 year old conglomerate seeking to buy out his 70th company, or a country going to war. A country led by talented strategists should be in peace more than war. A guy who leads his life with strategy should be loving and fucking instead of fighting and fucking others over. (And getting fucked over)

So, let's take a look at some of Sun Tzu's popular teachings and have some fun. This one is nearly cliche' these days:
Quote:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
The newbies are always asking, "What's the best method? What's the best book? Best style?" - Here's the answer: Just take one and go with it. It doesn't matter what you choose as long as it's something that you can execute out on the field. Find your WAY IN to PU. As you do this, you'll figure out whether it works for you or not. If it doesn't jive with you, then move on to another style; in essence, you must first learn YOU. Only once you try this will you realize that the next step is to be more attentive to the other. What are her needs? Her fears? Her goals? What's her history? Why is she her? . . . and how will I utilize this knowledge to make a connection?
Quote:
Begin by seizing something which your opponent holds dear; then he will be amenable to your will.
If you have little that others prize, work on it and earn these qualities. Using word games and silly tactics to create value out of thin air is plain stupid. All of you can clearly see when others attempt these immature acts. Fact: A female's BS radar is much more finely tuned than yours.
Quote:
The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.
If you cannot speak to others, then forget 'game'; just go out and learn to say hello and chat about the weather. If you can already do this and your goal is to GAME a girl, then strategize; study, write, practice, and OWN IT. You newbies who continue this bs about 'just doing it' is ridiculous. Will you get lucky once in a while? Sure. Is that all life is to you? Luck?
Quote:
Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.
This is the difference between the creepy needy guy and the PUA. The goal of the creepy guy is to WIN the argument. He wants the girl to acknowledge defeat word for word. You see it in this forum all the time. "Confront her!" . . . "You like me right? Treat me to a Happy Meal!" . . . "My friend told me you like me!" And he wants the girl to say, "Yes, you are right. It's all my fault". . . "Yes, I like you. I admit it." . . . "Yes, I told my friends that I like you" . . . Press! Press! Press! The goal of the PUA is to successfully make a connection. It's puzzling to me how often guys completely encapsulate the girl when leaving a tiny outlet is in fact a pathway for her to suck your cock.

Here are some more to think about:
Quote:
The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.
Quote:
Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
Quote:
We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.
Quote:
The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
Quote:
If his forces are united, separate them

Funny you should make this topic, I bought this book a few days ago to see if I could learn anything useful and found myself remembering situations with girls where I had instinctively done what the passage has said.

If anything, military strategy has taught me more than PU has - though I'm not saying to just read mil. strategy. I've just never read any PUA stuff apart from Gambler's Art of Seduction (1p from this site a while back).

I think the most useful one is
Quote:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
Speaks for itself but if you know a girl likes a player, be a bit arrogant and cocky etc

One that hasn't been mentioned is
Quote:
Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected
This is why I love meeting girls during the day or at university. No guy has the balls to even talk to a girl during the day never mind hit on her, so by immediately doing so you are standing out from every horny, drunk guy in a club who hits on her. You can stand out in a club but my opinion is that it's harder; loud music, dark lighting, everyone's drunk... but each to their own.

For them to perceive the advantage of defeating the enemy, they must also have their rewards.
Don't expect girls will be interested in you, if you don't show you have something to offer.


A common newbie mistake is thinking dropping a pick-up line out of the blue will work, they think natural game or pick up lines work just by saying them... Work on yourself, get some confidence, body language, inner game and then drop the line.

Quote:
He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.


Same point as above.
Quote:
Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
Go out and stop reading so much.
