How do you introduce the concept of pick up subtly? My uncle is 50. He is pathetically bad with girls. He has been friendzoned for 15 years by this same girl, someone who worked at a Ford plant with him. They've never slept together, but he buys her shit all the time, he has no other girls he spends time with, he acts like she's his girlfriend even though she isn't (though if anyone uses that word he gets very upset, because she does). Like, the girl isn't even smart - she's dumb as a brick, not that attractive (For a 50ish year old, obviously I would never go for someone that age) and he makes enough money that he should just be like "Good bye, cya!". When he has tried to do that, she reels him back in, and he totally goes for it. It's really, really bad. How do I sorta introduce my uncle to this sorta thing without being awkward? You can't really approach your uncle and be like "You're shitty with girls, I'm not anymore, here's some ways to fix your game". I mean, I'm no Don Juan, but I'm reasonably good, and have been consistently improving for years (my text game is still pretty shitty). I can't take him to my venues, because there's all younger girls there and that would just make him seem like a creeper. How would you all do it? I'm looking for honest help here. Is he just hopeless? How would you bring it up? I think if I said "No, you need to get better with women" and took like a training role, he'd get upset because of his ego. I have to make it his idea. |

Old dudes can be some of the biggest AFC's out there. Because they are not only clueless with women, but oldschool and, well...old. I tried to get my 60+ y/o stepdad to just listen to the audio book version of The Game and he wasn't able to find any time to do that after borrowing it for three weeks. Bottom line, some people just aren't receptive to pick up, regardless of their age. If someone tried to teach me about game when I was an AFC I would've been like "That's GAY" and blew them off. Yet when I read up about it on my own, something clicked and I made it part of my life. It's the leading the horse to water thing. You can tell them that there is this awesome source of knowledge out there, but they may not be willing to look into it further. All you can do is teach them what to do right, and tell them what they are doing wrong. If they get offended by your critiques, and they don't embrace your recommendations for changes, then there is no hope for them. It's that simple. |

Have you tried leading by example? If you can at least make him curious and show him success, that would be a start to making him open up to PUA ideas. |

The only time I've gamed in front of him was this girl who was about a year or two older than me, but who was hot and a friend of my family. She was receptive, we flirted. This was before I actually started reading any pick-up stuff, so I was just winging it (I actually got okish on my own before reading pick-up stuff, though I'm leagues better now) and all I remember him doing was get jealous and try to hog the conversation (never a good thing - I hate it when I lose my frame and do this). He also did VERY afc stuff (we were all playing apples to apples) like picking cards he thought she'd like and stuff, whereas I was treating her like I was going to kick her ass. But that was like 2 years ago and the only time I've gamed in front of him. We only see each other at like family events, or at the casino for their buffet (all old women normally). I suppose I could try to plan a family going out and doing something event, and try there. |

Why do you care so much whether your uncle gets his dick wet or not? |

Just get him a copy of The Game. Tell him it's the best book there is out there and that he NEEDS to read it. That will hopefully arouse his curiosity. |

uncle is a douche. his ego and arrogance is what makes him unworthy. He should pick up his money and go to Ukraine or Bangladesh or so. But he is too much of a pencil pushing coward for that. I listened to my uncle bitching about his job for ten years. Then I found him a new job and hooked him up with the contractor. But he bitched out. This was four years ago. People love their poisons and yield to their inertia. |

Sure, but if he's not opening his mind to it, it'll be in vain. You've put it out there, he can choose to accept it or deny it, and you're not going to change his opinion about it.
