In mystery method, confidence is one of the Characteristics of an Alpha Male(Just telling a story already shows that you're confident); while later, when talking about competence, Mystery says,"The best PUA’s in the world do not have confidence, they have competence and that’s a hell of a lot better to have than just confidence. " Does it contradict what he said about confidence? An Alpha male needs to be confident while a PUA doesn't necessary have to possess confidence, right? Isn't a PUA an alpha male? |

Alpha male and PUA are categories that occasionally overlap... an alpha male is not necessarily a PUA and a PUA is not necessarily an alpha male... Alpha male = dominant male of a group, natural leader of the pack PUA = pick up artist (focus on ARTIST, as a learned skill) competence means knowing what to do in a certain situation, how to respond to it or how to elicit a certain response from the target, which beats just being confident... and a true PUA, based on his experience with women, most definitely already has tons of confidence... hope my response helps... |

You gain confidence by working towards competence. They go hand in hand. Confidence is just a feeling in a particular situation. Competence is an understanding of what you should and shouldn't do in a particular situation. The more competence you develop, the more confident you become. |
