Best post I've read on this forum by OP. Those have been my thoughts for a while now.
PUA has been a life changing thing that's for sure but most of it is bullshit. People forget that the likes of David DeAngelo MAKE MONEY from this. THIS IS THEIR JOB.
P.s bootcamps are the biggest con I've ever seen in my life
Good post. And bootcamps are a huge scam.
Now I think the main problem that I've seen with the PUA community is that it leads to the belief that looks don't really matter and that with the right openers, routines, and closing methods you'll be able to get HB8's,9's and 10's.
Well just a casual reading of FR's (Field Reports) on virtually all of the "pick up" boards will disabuse one of that notion. Average looking guys still do average with women.
So how do you get better with women without spending thousands?
Well if you're an introvert, you can take medication to help or you can just find a social group that works for you and build a social group from there that comports with your interests. And don't try to be an extrovert, which is against your fundamental nature, be true to your own personality.
As for more about, "outer game" a few basics:
1. Learn to dress better, that can be difficult depending on where you're starting out, but try to dress as those who tend to be popular and do well with women.
And peacocking, or dressing as a clown character is not a viable solution for the average guy, furthermore, if you're truly alpha do you need to draw attention to yourself? Of course not.
2. If you're overweight, lose weight, and unless you have high status or social value women will not be attracted to you, that's just basic biology, and if it's impossible to lose weight short of surgery, then hide it with dressing better.
3. If you're too skinny, bulk up, and if you're a hard gainer (i.e., you find it difficult to gain weight) ingest at least 2500+ calories a day using weight gaining shakes and extra food). And while bulking up work out to get more muscular.
Again this is basic biology, women like more muscular guys, not ultra skinny guys, unless you have high social/social value to counter it.
4. If you're a bit shorter than average, use lifts in your shoes or height increasing shoes. Again, basic biology, women like men who are taller than themselves.
5. And body language, it is important, but without all the other aforementioned steps being taken it won't help much.
Now you can't exactly charge thousands for the above advice, since it's free, just not usually put out there in a systematic way, but once you take it you'll find you'll get far more IOI's and interest from women, just by looking more like an alpha male.
And once that happens, then you can use some pickup techniques that will help you not mess up with women who are already interested in you. But until you change the physical image you present to the world those techniques aren't going to help much at all.
