First of all, there are plenty of people here who are highly successful with women that don't claim the title of pick up artist. There were people that were naturally good with women long before the community and they never had titles.
If you don't want to "claim" to be a pick up artist then don't. That's a rather simple concept. There is also nothing wrong with deciding you want a relationship. There have been plenty of people in this community who have given up the "lifestyle" for a monogamous relationship.
The whole point of this is to do what makes you happy. If sleeping with multiple women isn't making you happy, then try a relationship. The biggest mistake you are making here though is being "ashamed". A real man is not ashamed of admitting that he is inept and wants to improve himself. A real man is not ashamed of the fact he has the ability to not mess up with girls.
Stop looking at this from such a negative stand point. Your own insecurities about your life bleed through things like this.
I like your post. Thank you for your sincerity. I am not able to be myself around girls because I am worried that I am doing something "wrong" I am worried that it is my fault for the reason she didn't like me.
This is causing me extreme anguish, and the underlying root of the pain is the belief that there is a perfect method for dealing with women. Being cocky and funny is my method of guidance. It works at first but after I am with the girl for a couple of weeks she doesn't find it amusing anymore, and feels pressured. Then I wonder, well am I too needy. Did I allow myself to be around her to long. Why doesn’t she like me anymore???
WTF does it matter if I care about her and I showed my feelings to her. If she felt pressured because I was giving her a ride from school and helping her with her homework then fuck her, but I didn't get laid….
I have come into the belief that there is a methodology of picking up a girl and if I don't follow it then I am at fault. So I go back to the drawing board on each failed attempt, to sleep with a hottie, and try to formulate my life over again. I try to analyze what I did wrong and fix it so the next girl I get with-- I won’t fuck it up.
Sure! I have been moving up the social hierarchy, but I am failing more than I am succeeding. I am beginning to think the whole PUA mentality is flawed. I am considering the idea that the reason why I am moving up in the social hierarchy is not because of “game” but because of the fact that I am improving my life through college and social interaction. I am starting to believe that if I was O.K. with not getting laid then I wouldn't care if I got the girl or not. If I was O.K. with not getting laid for a year, and that was acceptable to me; then I would be secure in myself. I don’t need pussy to feel good about myself. I don’t need attention to feel loved. I love myself.
I think you can see my point now?
