how is an AFC supposed to distinguish between all of these different forms of PUA techniques and pick out something that is a guaranteed success with women? Is it just as simple as picking up a bunch of hobbies and naturally meeting women by just being as social as I can, or does routines and stuff work just as well, if not better?
1. Don't label yourself an "AFC." That's like labelling yourself a loser from the beginning, and going into every interaction assuming that you're retarded and without the "right techniques" you'll fail.
2. It IS just as simple as making an effort to be more social in every way you can - from joining clubs and doing hobbies and activities, to talking to people in cafés, on the street and in bars.
3. After a while of being more social, you'll notice that certain patterns of behaviour can lead to consistently better results (in terms of people being interested in what you have to say, wanting to meet you again, etc.) That's where the "technique" part comes in. However, the techniques only make sense in the context of a relatively normal social interaction. Telling a guy to "neg" or "dhv" will not help him if he can't hold normal eye contact, smile, and hold a somewhat entertaining conversation with someone.
