is there such a thing as a "type"? i mean are there "types" of guys girls prefer like rocker, preppy,hip hop,hippy, etc? does your avatar matter that much? or is it regardless of your "type" if you trigger the attraction switches they will be attracted?

If you trigger the attraction switch they'll be attracted. the idea of types is just an easy way for rejection

okay, this might be a noob question, but if you have more in common with your target, doesn't this allow to make a better connection with her, assisting in comfort?say she loves surfing, and you havent surfed in your life.

The thing is though, what you just talked about really doesn't have much to do with type (as I define it at least). People do have different Archetypes (Like Hipster, Surfer, Artist, etc.), however there are some things that each and every human being has in common. Use those attraction switches and it really shouldn't matter. Archetypes (Or Types as you put it) can make it easier or more difficult to have rapport with a person based off of common interests and helping to create comfort.

Also, look at the situation and try to see what you want out of it. If it's just a physical short term thing, then Archetype really doesn't matter. One thing that many PUA's enjoy (from what I've been reading/listening to at least) is the fact that their skillset can get them a variety of types. If you needed to know everything about everything, we would never actually play the game. If you're looking for something to last longer term, then the commonalities will help keep her interested, instead of relying solely on artificially pumped buying temperature or high value.

No big deal. You find out what she likes about surfing and how it makes her feel. Then you related those feelings to either yourself or something that give you those same feelings. I've said several times (using your example) "Interesting, I've never surfed, but that's what mountain biking does for me"

wow that was a really informative answer.i believe the archtype term you are talking about is straight out of psychology,i mean i havent seen it in any of the pua lingo yet so it must be a more advanced thing.that makes sense that only if you are interested in a relationship you should be a similar archtype. oh okay, so it could be anything but just demonstrate that you can empathize with her.

Try this on..

this is only a theory, however I think that, in the initial stages of attraction your avatar, as long as it's interesting and evokes the proper attraction switch emotions, is meaningless.

Make sense?

if you will think with me,

Many people say "opposites attract", because a different, unique personality type, or avatar may seem intriguing, or exciting for a potential target. Psychology reveals that this is only temporary, and that only similarities in personalities create a deeper connection.

So in the art of pickup, these things are irrelevant, unless you wish to find a life partner.

either way, just be interesting... no further self modifications needed

any thoughts? am I retarded?

No Prob I've always been the wordy, research kind of guy, that didn't get out too much, and that's why I'm here. May as well use the skills I already have to help learn the skills I'd like to acquire.

I first heard of Archetypes in one of the Sinn in the Cities Podcasts (Available for free on iTunes). One of his friends who cohosted one of the podcasts talked extensively about archetypes in a club setting. It was the first time that I had heard that exact terminology applied to PUA lingo myself.

this is talked about in http://www.pualingo.com/pua-definitions/bad-boy/ where it says that puas should take the attractive aspects of a personality type and take out the negative aspects of it. although im not sure if its okay to come off as a "type a" kind of person then reveal you are actually a "type b".the question is congruency. i hear this alot in pua where you have an avatar and a personality that do not match.

i think that personality matters to an extent to pua, as it has to do with comfort right?unless you are totally bullshitting the HB.

Right, personality does matter, otherwise, you would have no identity, (not attractive)
What i mean is, from the avatar sense, you don't need to change your "style" to attract a certain "breed" of women..

For instance, if you were to game a "goth chick", Before hand if you were to ask her what kind of man she was into, she would probably say, "dark hair, dark clothes, eyeliner, rockstar, into bahaus... blah blah blah whatever" But in order to properly game her you DONT need to go to walmart and buy some loreal paris black eyeliner. because in pick up, it's irrelevant. be your own interesting self with your frame.. for me, a 6'1 blonde, lanky Norwegian, and way to much of a jokester to ever be depressed about the world.. if you were to ask goth chick post pick up, in the short term what kind of man she likes, she would most likely say "blonde tall, and sense of humor", and in the long term it would shift back to her own frame.

make sense?

well from your logic it means that she is attracted to opposites, but for a ltr/soul mate she would want someone similar. thing is how do you become her ltr/soul mate & still attract her from the beginning?you cant be two things at the same time.

You have to have something common in order to have a rapport as well as bearing in mind, what do you want in a girl. I find it very important to have something in common with a girlfriend as inevitably I'll get bored and most likely so will she.
