I've had moderate success with women in my life, I'd rate myself very truthfully (and this has been corroborated by plenty of girls) as a 9. But recently my eyes have been opened to PUA (and hence women's keener attentiveness to status, and how you hold yourself rather than just looks). I've never had a relationship, I prefer causal encounters with little effort being placed into pursuing anything long term.

I assumed I'd canter around trying my luck and going on my looks until this recent discovery of the wealth of PUA knowledge; I just finished reading the seminal "The Game - by Neil Strauss". It's all very enlightening and I'm waiting on "The Rules of the Game" to arrive so I can read up on that.

But I have a pressing issue - I've left High School but have yet to start college... yes, I'm only 16. Is the game of any use to someone as young as me (unable to go to clubs, only parties which are rare around here)? Or can my preparation now be used immediately? I can't see myself doing street approaches but it couldn't hurt to try.

Thanks for your time guys.

Alright mate, welcome to the forum.

Gaming girls from Lancashire!? Surely a few Jager shots and they're yours

On a serious note, it cannot be unhealthy, in my opinion, to get into PUA at 16. Admittedly you can't go clubbing (legally), admittedly you won't be meeting girls who are as intellectual and mature, but the same ground rules still apply.

You can improve and increase your confident and the amount of numbers/lays you get at any age, you don't need to be in a nightclub. Infact, I much prefer daygame as i'm 10x better at talking to females than I am dancing and grinding on them.

Get involved mate, get involved.

Yeah thanks man, I was wondering though, would you recommend any good guides / videos for daygame? All I've seen is open, up front declarations of appreciation... this is pretty contrasting to the game I've been reading up on, such as the indirect method or sets. It's totally different.

16 too young? Nah, not for the core principles. I wish I would've learned this younger. A good book is The Attraction Code by Vin Dicarlo. Probably the only book you'll need to learn the core principles.

Hey man, 16 isn't to young. I admire your tenacity. If you ask most PUAs they will tell you straight away they would have loved to start at a young age, because they would be even better and they'd spend less of life as chodes.

A good buddy of mine started at age 16 and hes kicking ass now. I started when I was 17 and now I'm 18. I'm getting laid and my girlfriend is 31 year old Japanese woman >:P. Age is a limiting belief and chances are you can improve your game faster at a young age.

If you want to know more about pimping at a young age, read my blog, its in my signature. It details me starting out to the advanced level I'm at now.

I'll check it out mate

Not at all I wish I started at 16 ha.

For me PUA has brought a lot more than just talking to girls. It's helped me improve my confidence in other aspects of my life also. Reading up on body language and status etc has improved my relationships in many more ways that just with woman (jobs, friendships, general confidence etc).

I'd say meeting woman in clubs is probably my least favourite way also. There's plenty more places to meet them so like everyone has said all the same underlying principles remain the same.

By the time you are 18 your knowledge will be way more vast in the subject. Definitely worth getting in on at your age

i started at 14 and im 17 now lol, no harm in starting at 16 at all

I do know 1 thing though, bitches they come they go

Hey buddy, you got yourself some guy in a simulair situation right here, I started when I was 15^^

I think it has loooots of benefits when you're so young, because right now Im hanging out sometimes (in some of the weekends and stuff) with my cousins & just other older guys, and I find myself competing (and mostly beating or almost beating them at confidence level & a lot of other things) with them, while they are all like around 22.
Imagine us when WE are 22 man, Im pretty sure I'll be one the best (of the best?) in pick-up & having an attractive, interesting life!

Like the others' already said, most of the core principles are working for the most of the girls at our age. Also just working on your confidence level, your body language, your mindset does really pay off, for now & for later!

Ofcourse although i've read a couple of pua books & had enough partys (and used them to practise my skills) to know where Im talking about, am I still a lot younger & inexperienced than a lot of guys on this forum, but if you got some question; don't be afraid to contact me!

Seeyah bro.

The younger the better.

PUA is self enhancement in a way, and like every other aspect in life you can actually learn quicker and implement better in a young age (see languages as an example to a thing people learn easier in an early age)

In fact, my young brother is 16 and I want him to get into PUA as well to develop a better awareness of social dynamics (and dam.. he needs to get laid already... all these hormones are a nuisance!)

While being younger does have it's disadvantages as you often times have less opportunities to go out to places like clubs, parties, etc... Starting at a early age is good in that those are the important developmental stages of an adolescent and PUA is great for building confidence. PUA not only helps in pick-up situations but in a range of social situations from a job interview to talking to a stranger you just met.

Thanks a lot fellas, plenty of good advice there. I'm kind of stumped now thought... while I wait for The Rules of the Game to arrive, I'm wondering about what other reading I could take up? Anyone recommend some seminal works on body language and influence, that covers all aspects of life? I think the effects of that field could be positively felt even before I start practising actual pick up.

Cheers
