I would actually say practice is better than theory. You can know all the theory you want, but unless you utilize it, why know it?
You can practice all you want and what ever doesn't work can be changed and what ever works can be kept. With practice, you learn calibration and tonality both vocally and physically. Practice gets you hands-on experience and teaches you things about yourself that no book can tell you.
Back to the topic, it looks like there are quite a few people here you can meet up with. Try posting in the "Meet Up & Wing" section - you should get some hits there.
Well, what I'm saying is, once you've got the "regular guy" personality down. (aka not a total nerd and you've talked to some girls but you were never really successful with them) then it's more vital to learn theory/ how to act through coaches/ books/ etc
I'll tell you right now I used to go out all the time and probably only succeed with 1 out of the 3 girls I hit on.
Now it's like 9 out of 10.
Sure, practice your work, but if you approach 1000 sets without any theory and definition behind your approach, the 5 sets I've approached after reading / watching countless hours of how-tos will be much more educational.
An outline would be - Learn Learn Learn, Practice, Learn Learn Learn, Practice.
Even practicing on a fat chick or a group of guys is an accurate way to see how attractive girls will treat you (Albeit with 10s you need to build social proof and an identity, merging sets, etc, but you get the point)
After all this time I've spent in my house learning PUA (And just slightly practicing), I've become nearly a master.
Currently the biggest mac at my school.
