The Beginning
--------------------
The true beginning starts with Casanova and Don Juan. These two historic greats recorded their chronicles of seduction and had been studied by many men sense. It would be wrong to say these two have no part in all of this.
--------------------
1980's
--------------------
Although most credit the beginning of the modern seduction community to Ross Jeffries they would be incorrect. The actual beginning of the modern seduction community would be the day Eric Weber's book, "How to Pick Up Girls" was published. This book was read by many men, some who later would go on to become veterans of the seduction community.
A few years later Ross Jeffries (RJ) hits the scene with his own seduction influenced style of NLP which he calls "Speed Seduction (SS)." Towards the end of the 1980's he published his first book which detailed his philosophy and method for laying desirable women.
--------------------
1994
--------------------
,
In 1994 a student of RJ, Lewis De Payne, founded alt.seduction.fast, one of the first internet based groups based solely on seduction. This helped spawn an entire network of websites (a popular one being 'Cliffs List') and discussion forums across the internet based on PU.
alt.seduction.fast quickly became infested with spam and to combat the problem Moderated alt.seduction.fast (mASF) was formed. Many of the big name gurus posted on there back in the day. Mystery, David DeAngelo, Badboy, Shark, Tyler Durden, Stephan Nash, Hypnotica, Zan Perrion, Steve Piccus, Juggler, Swinggcat, and Carlos Xuma.
--------------------
2000
--------------------
Although RJ has been giving seminars sinse he started his company it wasn't until around this time that "gurus" started taking their students out into the bars and clubs. The first to do this was Juggler of Charisma Arts.
Juggler style didn't focus on canned material but at the time wasn't very natural either.
Soon after Juggler, Mystery followed suit. These two gave birth to the modern bootcamps the Gurus have today.
--------------------
2003 - 2007
--------------------
David Deangelo's ebook "Double Your Dating" gets mass marketed to great success.
2004 saw a small shift in the community. A user that went by the name of WoodHaven (Vin DiCarlo) posted a series of revolutionary post on mASF detailing what he called "natural game."
In 2005, Neil's book "The Game" came out. It was a national best seller. He was featured on talk and radio shows all over North America. The community, at this point, had been exposed more than ever.
This caused a huge surge in guys logging onto the internet looking for answers to their problems with women.
Along with a surge in popularity, a surge in "gurus" came about too. And with the gurus came the massive load of products.
In 2007 Mystery's show "Vh1 The Pick Up Artist" hit the air. Again, this caused an even bigger surge in the number of men studying PU.
--------------------
Current Day
--------------------
The Seduction community is now bigger than ever and shows no signs of getting smaller or even slowing down.
Vins original post inspired a movement and now the community has experienced a big shift in thinking. Many people have now traded their canned scripts for newer, better inner game beliefs. The community in now divided up between three differnt schools of thought. Speed Seduction, Canned Game, and Natural Game.
