Post subject:  confidence, competence

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.
