Would you say facebook is a necessary tool for helping in pickup? Cant help decide whether i want to open an account, to me it seems like having one is itself a DLV since so many people who use it seem to have nothing better to do? Also, on the one hand whilst i can see how it can be used to maintain someones as an HB who is interested in you can keep tabs on and what you are upto, i would sooner leave all interaction to be face-to-face (this is probably why i am not such a big fan of text game aswell, havn't got much time for pussy footing about.). What do you think?

I would say no to getting a facebook to use for pick up. It gives women too much access to you and your social circle. so much for being "mysterious", right? Also, i think any technology with an instant messaging function stacks the odds against you. You should be aiming for facetime with women, not screen time.

yeah thats what i've been thinking

I would say yes, it works as a good social prof assuming you got female friends on there. Just don't put your life on there and end up becoming a facebook whore with like 500 friends.

Like me, I don't go for facebook close. But when a girl ask me for my facebook, I kind of make a big deal and tell her "I only keep close friends on facebook, but since I like her, I will add her." When she adds me I only have about 50 friends on there with a good ratio of girls and guy.

Also, to the post above having to see her social circle, what's wrong with that? Work on getting a better social circle. A good social circle is a must when it comes to pick up.

What`s wrong with her seeing your social circle? Nothing at all. But try explaining the pictures of you doing jell-o shots off of some random chick`s tits to the girl you are ding when you told her you had to stay in and study that night. How did she find out? She saw it in the photo section on your friend`s page. See how this can be problematic? As a matter of fact I caught many girls in a bunch of lie on accident. Remember, everything you do online is time and date stamped. So your social circle can inadvertantly throw salt in your game.

Facebook is really just something on you that shows your value.
Lots of pics, lots of likes, lots of friends= HIGH VALUE
Few pics, no likes, not many friends= LOW VALUE

Girls want someone whos fun and awesome to be around, if your facebook shows that, then you've pretty much got her "value wise", you just need to talk the talk.

Like Paul Janka put it: when you open a girl, think of it as her seeing a trailer to a movie; you want to leave her with something shes REALLY going to want to see again. Your Facebook is just Trailer #2.

Damn. I'm quoting myself on that.

I use it while going out. My facebook is full of DHV status, pics, lots of comments. It can enhance your game if you do it right.

You either stay stuck in the dark ages, or you take facebook for what it is: just another tool in your PUA bag of tricks...

Just watch out what you put on there ; make sure it's all DHVs ; and don't compromise your current relationships.

I've had girls giving me their facebook rather than their number... not as good, but I've still managed to F-close from that.

As for dating off facebook, why not if it's appropriate? I've approached friends of friends through it, which I would otherwise never have met.

Yeah. But you can say that about a lot of things...Like buying women flowers, sharing your feelings, opening car doors, etc. So, if you gotta do something "right" in order for it to work and "right" isn`t a clearly defined senario, I say don`t do it or at least find an easier alternative. The alternative to social media is...actually being social. Imagine that. lol

I don't recall anyone in the community EVER saying buying flowers, sharing feelings or opening door is a good idea. EVER. Do what you want with it- but it is a tool nothing more.

Seriously? I think you miss the boat. Were taking about using facebook as a DHV here rather then how to hide stuff you do from your girlfriend. What's wrong with being seen with another women if your single?

facebook is awesome!!!! It creates a lot of jealousy, it can definitely give you a lot of social proof. Also it helps a girl think about you more often... If you manage to get her interested enough to look at your pictures that will create emotional attachment... NOT using fb is hurting your game.

I've actually been meeting most new women online, via FB recently. It's better than going to a bar, and you can make better choices. Race De Priest even put out a small book called "Window Shopping for Women" on how to approach, etc, on Facebook and social networking sites.

Facebook can be a very powerful and useful tool IF you know how to use it.

I didn`t miss the boat. Microwave DHV, I get it. "Look Suzie, I have 500 friends on facebook and all of them are chicks. I`m a popular guy. So how `bout we go out this saturday night?"...I can see how that could work. I just don`t like the access it gives the girls to each other. There`s nothing wrong with women thinking/knowing you are dealing with other chicks. I just don`t want them to know the exact number or their names for that matter. Facebook has people`s first and last names, jobs and schools attended. Too much info imo.
