Can someone please explain this to me...
Soooo, once upon a time, back in the far year of 2003, there was a pick up system called the "Mystery Method"
The pick up artists back then were really few and were using just one or two methods. They were protected by anonymity and they were not afraid to use canned openers and routines, learned from others.
People reportedly were getting great results and no one ever complained about anything. They managed to establish value and authority. Everyone was happy.
You obviously wasn't around back then.
Time change... back then getting a phone number was considered MASSIVE RESULTS on many occasions.
One thing to understand is back then the guys that practiced PU was extremely (in general) bad with women and just bad at being social all around. Simply walking up to a chick and opening their mouth was an accomplishment for them.
The thought getting a number, and the occasional kiss, and maybe even a lay once in a blue moon was simply amazing. And to them, it was. They were, in large part, people who stayed in their basement all day.
There were very few other practitioners of other methods around back then to tell these guys there is an easier and better way. Around 2004 (I believe) a user called Woodhaven (Vin DiCarlo) started posting his natural game philosophy of the forums. Lots of people told him he was dumb..
"Woodhaven...you cant just assume value...YOUR DUMB"
"Woodhaven, you cant just open direct and show interest...YOUR DUMB"
You get the point. Then a few adventurous souls who had been using MM, getting numbers, and a kiss every so often (which was considered great success back then) decided to give Woodhaven's (DiCarlos) stuff a try.
They came back soon after
"OMG GUYS!!! My result have gotten massive. Kisses are now common and lays are pretty easy."
Yep, guys were having much better success.
So why didn't his stuff catch on like wild fire?
The answer is MARKETING. Vin, at that time, just wanted to help guys. But, even though some people started posting back with the REAL results they got from vin, many guys who practiced MM still wouldn't give it a try. Why? Their ego.
These guys read the MM book like every day, studied it like hoemwork, went out and shouted out ther opinion openers and in the end, got their number. They seen seduction as being hard and complicated and for good reason, MM makes it harder and more complicated than it has to be. If they started doing Vin's stuff, they would have had to admit that its really easy and that there were going all about seduction in the wrong way. It would have hurt their ego.
This ego protectionism is basic stuff and can be learned from the blueprint.
Anyways, vin, not wanting, or perhaps not able to at the time, didn not start a PU business. He was just happy helping people. He put his ideas and thoughts out there and then disappeared until a couple years ago when he released his very good book, "The Attraction Code."
A few people who had the balls to try Vins stuff did stick around and many of the natural game teachers of today teaches many evolved ideas from his original natural game post he made.
