Hi Slywalker,
I am completely new to pick up and, as you may relate to, don't know where to start. I've read your posts and can honestly say your an inspiration to me in pickup. I've got a few questions to ask though.
1, Could you recommend to me some books and puas to read up on? Not standard ones like Mystery Method but ones that you really thought impacted your game and improved it.
2. How do you improve natural game. It seems like quite an ambiguous term that covers lots of ideas. I believe that natural game is the way forward and in the long term is better than canned material. But I'm not sure how to improve it?
3. I've discovered that confidence is about 90% of game and is almost unstoppable. I was wondering if there are any books or techniques you know on how to improve it?
4. Same as above but with NLP best books and techniques you know?
5. You said some where before that one of your specialties is day game. I'd really like to be good at that cos I always see the hottest girls walking down the street! How do you improve it?
6. Whats your standard formula for day game? (eg. some HB walking down the street) dw I won't copy it, I just need some inspiration
7. How do you kino escalate. I mean how do you go from casually talking to a woman to incorporating kino?
8. How do you build rapport. I'm having trouble with this as sometimes the coversation can turn very boring and stay with small talk.
9. How do you step the conversation up the next level? (If you know what I mean, from building rapport to casually flirting)
10. How do you open to girls? (I saw in one LR that you casually said "Hey hows it going". I was wondering whats the best type of opener. A casual "hows it going", a canned opener, or a direct one)
Sorry about asking so many questions.

But those are literally all the questions I needed answers to.

Pick up is pretty daunting when first seen from the perspective of an AFC. So thanks in advance for the answers and I hope you are able to answer with as much detail and info as possible.
Thanks,

PS Now your married and giving up pick up will you leave the forum? I honestly hope you don't because there are many people who could learn from your valuable experience.

Hi, many questions, but I'll do my best to answer them
I'll answer them in short at first and if you want me to elaborate on anything let me know.
1. As a very basic beginner book is David DeAngelo's Attraction is not a choice, it will give you good a basic things to think about. This article by Ross Jeffries is also very good to start with:

Other than that, I can recommend Vincent Dicarlo as a good all in all PUA instructor, but most of all, read a bunch of books and try to extract the best material from each of them and combine them in to your own material. 60 is also very popular these days but I haven't looked in to it enough to comment on that.
2. Natural game is everything that comes from your own brain. To improve it don't be afraid to improvise and take chances, talk to many people and try everything, the best way to do this is through experience. Other peoples material can help you as a crutch in the beginning.
3. Yeah, NLP has a ton exercises for this, the best ones are about thinking back to positive experiences in the past and apply the same feelings in the now. The best beginners book that covers everything is Steve Andreas - NLP the new technology of achievement. Steve.
4. I believe I just answered that, get back to me when you read it, it's only like 10 bucks on amazon.
5. Practice practice practice, and fearless practice! Don't be afraid who you practice on, talk to bums, old ladies, gay guys and hot girls, make everyone smile and make sure they all remember you!
6. Well there are tons of ways, you can improvise with something situational but the most basic approach I guess is to be really bold, approach her direct and run the NLP comfort zone which you can find linked in my long stickied post "10 things.." It is by far the best way to grab a phone number with high chances of a date later. You can also be bold and go for an instant date and suggest coffee or something similar.
I have a feeling you'll ask me to elaborate on this one and I am ok with that
7. For kino escalation basics vin dicarlo summarized it pretty good in his free ebook linked here
http://www.vindicarlo.com/DiCarlo%20Esc ... lo.com.pdf
But one thing that most people neglect in kino escalation are the soft touch of your hands, women love it, let them gently run everywhere, through her hair, touch her neck, face, and lips etc. Play with her, tease her, women love it!
8. Again NLP books will help you here, try to reach her on her level always! mirror behavior etc, my NLP comfort zone will also help you!
9. Provocative and suggestive teasing, study Sean Connery as james bond and you'll know what I mean
10. In opening I like a causal opener like, hey whats up, or just hey, then the most important part is the pause, after you open, take a pause for like 2-3 seconds, and look at her, make sure she knows you are looking at her, it will make her uncomfortable enough to destroy her bitch shield, but curious enough to want to know what you have to say, then run your opener, which in my case is usually situational. Experiment with that pause, it can be a very efficient weapon!
And finally, yes I plan to stick around to give guys advice through these threads, I enjoy helping people out and I know I could have used some good help when I first started out, best of luck and don't hesitate to reply if you have more questions.
