I dunno, the most prolific pua's out there are big self-promoters. Ever heard of Mystery??? All of the mpua's have systems and websites and youtube videos now. Even the one's who post on here have sig line links to their sites. It doesn't mean they don't know their shit, because most of them are quite good at what they do.
I haven't found many people on hear talking out of their ass that don't know what they are talking about. True, there are some braggarts, but that's true anywhere. And what do you expect out of alpha personalities, they are going to boast and brag about their exploits.
I was thinking recently about the aggressive guys who always threaten and intimidate and talk about how tough they are. I realized they are just insecure, probably because they were beaten as children or got their asses kicked at some point. I've never had to be like that because I am confident that I can defend myself and I say whatever I want to people, knowing that the most they'll ever do is talk a mess of shit otherwise get arrested for attacking me, or worse, become mamed or killed when I defend myself. Insecurity stems from a need to fill a void in your life. People who brag may not be making things up, but they are trying to overcompensate and fill in the emptiness in their lives.
Concerning Mystery.
Yes he promotes his stuff, of course he does, ho got rich doing this. If there is money involved, anyone will brag about whatever.
Now we can discuss, is he a good PUA or not? I think he is a great PUA as far as PUAs go. At least the first generation, he got the girl and he did it consistently. Nowadays, there is a new generation of PUAs and they are more focused on changing their lives to be able to become better human beings as well as PUAs. We have understood that the way to be "successful" is to appear as a high value male. And what better way to appear as a high-value male than to be a high-value male?
So we are turning ourselves into awesome people and let that shine through. It works, that is inner game for you.
So what is the difference between that and Mystery? Not as much as you may think. He promotes a lot of stuff but is he himself using it? Not really, he doesnt need to anymore. He started out pretending to be a celebrity, people bought that and now he is a celebrity, it is not an act anymore.
He is promoting the techniques that made him crawl up out of that hole he was in when he was young and out into the real world. But really, is he bragging? No he isnt.
In all of the interviews and material I have seen with him, he seems to be a great guy, intelligent, sympathetic, caring and humble. He never gets into a fight about who is the best. He says that he knows something that others dont because it is true. He states the obvious, the people he is talking to have chosen to have him as a teacher and of course he knows more than them.
If you are a man at level 5 and talk like a man on level 8, you are annoying. If you are a man on level 8 and talk like a man of level 5, you are strange. If you are a man on level 9 and talk like a man of level 10, that is less annoying, just expected. If you are a man of level 10 and talk like a man of level 9, you are modest. But if you are on level 3 and talk like if you were on level 10, people are gonna hate you. This is true for real life as well as the forum.
