Stop reading PUA and start socializing more. Likely you'll be satisfied with the results once you start meeting people.

I don't know if you're into mixed martial arts at all, but I am. So I'm just going to compare game to mma really quick.

In MMA, it's important to know how to fight while you're standing, (Kickboxing, Taekwondo, whatever) and while on the ground (Wrestling, jujitsu, etc.)

I have enough natural game that I was getting k-closes without much problem before I started using this stuff, but it helped me out tons. So while it's good to have natural game, there are bound to be situations you're gonna have trouble with that a pua wouldn't.

My old geography teacher said something that stuck with me for a while. "Being good is a curse because then you don't want to be great."

That's why I think a lot of PUAs outdo naturals. Because most PUAs were AFCs at the beginning. (You hear an awful lot about how some great PUAs were all virgin until they were in their mid-twenties)

So really, just work on both. I use my nifty, jedi, PUA mind trick stuff to create a situation, I use my natural game to improvise if I need to.

you mean you can either perfect inner game or perfect external game...

scripted game .. external game ("mPUA) - routines and canned or whatever you want to call it will get you girls .... you can be lethal with this kind of game. the problem is you have to memorize everything and you need to internalize it - you are using your brain and not your inuition or emotions. however you probably suck in relationships because you didn't face you emotional unhealthy problems.

inner game and building confidence (natural game) - self actualisation is just hard uncomfortable work but it will make you more confident and this wil affect your subcommunication. if you are a confident person you don't have to memorize things or learn techniques, you can be more in the moment.

with external game you are doing
with inner game you are ... being - not doing.

using inner game as a base will give you more succes because it affects you subcommunication - this will trigger more attraction switches in a womans brain.

i've learned and used all external game like most guys do i started out with MM...it took me some years to have my own inductive realisation about inner game ( after alot of failed relationships through pickup). just changing the way you think and getting in state .. just 2 things that will dramatically increase succes.

before inner game i learned all external techniques .. seriously in interactions i would use 20 different techniques conciously and about 30 routines. it's horrible because the more you think about ( techniques ) it the more you get inside in your head - and shut yourself off from being your best self or being in the moment.

nowadays im 90 % in inner game and like 10 in external game ... 10 is just some body language .. voice tonality .. and some openers.

inner game goes very deep .. you cannot explain it in a few minutes , there are so many factors and experiences to cover it's almost impossible to cover alot in a short time. if we boil it down to a surface level thing it's just being confident - interacting alot and being confortable with it and not being a doormat.

do realize that all mpua have a sick high end calibration .. the guys have so many experience that they often know how woman think and feel , you can only get this through experience and analyzing that experience until you fall into coma.

regarding inner game , psychology and self actualization .. im like at 20 % of the total 100 % ... i've read and worked through hundreds hours of materials - maybe even thousands... , i've analyzed myself for several hundred hours .. talking to psychologists about inner game for dozens of hours, talking to succesfull friends about psychology and cultural conditioning for hundreds of hours.

using psychology and reflecting on yourself to remove emotional blocks is very uncomfortable because every new mindset will change your reality - untill you have fully internalized it will feel uncomfortable about it. most guys do not want to mess with their believe system because it's so ingrained but also because changing their beleif system will make their lose their confidence - everytime you fuck with your believe system you will get outside your comfort zone.

many guys .. pua or mpua do not want to go through all the inner game just because it makes them uncomfortable - they have this delusional believe that they are the coolest guys on the planet. this belief will help you but if you really feel confident if you really grounded into well being you don't have to create all these mindsets.

inner game is like climbing mount everest .. but everytime you will climb it and everytime you are at the top you will suffer from oxygen deprivation .. maybe you fall off everytime you are at the top - most guys do not even want to climb because they are too afraid to fall
