Dont get me wrong, i love the whole PUA thing. It helps guys get more than girls, it helps you improve yourself.

But lets not forget, alot of the "rules" and "techniques" in this whole PUA thing are as old as time itself except instead of calling it negging, peacock theory & cocky funny etc.....it was/is called charisma, flirting, being individual, charming etc...

Lets not forget this, and as for one-itus thing.....dont let the game make you cold & robotic...there is alot to be said for love....and yes....sometimes it hurts, but thats a good thing, listen to this and then tell me im wrong....

PS. this is also a good track to play if you want to get a girl into bed!!....ha ha ha

Nicely put man. I mean, this stuff is good because it puts together jargon and methods that others can use and discuss, but guys like Frank Sinatra or Elvis would never have called themselves PUAs - they just rocked. When I first started working on my game way back when, it was to be a gentleman that everyone - women and men - wanted to be with. Then it was to be a "renaissance man". But whatever the terminology or the methods used, the principle is the same and this PUA thing the same: it's about improving ourselves so that we can enjoy an important part of our lives - women.

As for oneitis, I also don't mind feeling the pain every now and then (maybe I'm a masochist...). Sometimes the pain & failure that oneitis represents is key to helping drive you forward to keep improving. But when many of the experts here talk about "forgetting about oneitis" or putting it behind you by getting back out there, I don't think they're saying that it'll never happen or that it won't affect you - I think it's more about the fact that you have to control it so it doesn't control how you act, because nothing good can come out of that.

You are right to some degree. However in the past, people just acted on their psychological instincts, and either sank or swam. We are in a cultural revolution now, where people like Mystery are breaking down every last aspect to the art of seducing women, in an almost mathematical way. Before this, if people wanted to get better with women they were told "be braver," "be more confident," "find a girl who is at your level." This is shit, and I'm glad that there is a real salvation for those who do not instinctively know what to do.

As for the whole one-itis thing, this has no place in our culture. This feeling, along with approach anxiety, comes from the days when we lived in tribes of 50 people. If a new, attractive female enters the tribe (would be a rare occasion), it would be in the best interest for any suitable male to develop an infatuation, as it would be one of very few chances for him to reproduce with a genetically strong woman. Now this feeling is useless and only fucks with our minds.
