The Value of the Field Test
You bought a new PUA Manual and have been reading on it for 3 days. Likewise, you have bombarded yourself 4 hours a day with the audio books that came with it. You even watched the videos several times. Cool? WRONG.
After spending some 3 to 7 days on your new PUA material acquisition, you now go out to field test some of the strategies there something like:
“The next few days I’m booked up, but let’s get together on Friday night. There’s this awesome new lounge that I want to show you…they’ve got a killer DJ and my buddy the bartender makes the best mojitos in town.” (From MACK Tactic's The Bad Boy Blueprint p. 45)
When you tried that out on field 10 times and it doesn't work, you're reminded by MACK Tactics that you might still be lacking congruence or you haven't tried too many enough. So you try again. After several dozen tries, you managed to get somewhere with one girl. So you try it out again. Same result. The failure rate is too high. So you start thinking, what am I doing wrong?
Here's the bummer. This is a classic GM Style line:
"Hey babe, I was hoping you could help me out for a sec (pause)? You see a snake just bit my nads and I need you to suck the poison out."
Girl laughs and play punches you on the arm.
"Let's get some ice cream." You gesture towards the john.
The thing is, if a field tested line works, it WILL work; most of the time. If it doesn't work it will not work no matter how hard or how much frequency you try.
It's taking me a lot of time to unlearn bad PUA habits that I've learned from MACK Tactics. I have a very high failure rate with the tactics described there. Although the general principles discussed look good, these appeared to be paraphrased from PUA community common sense so those are basically good.
But when you're field testing individual tactics and those are not working, STOP. Unlearn the bullshit and learn something else. Unlearning something that you've invested a lot of time and effort in already is very difficult. So my advice for the newbies here: Before you dig deep in one PUA approach, field test each small tactic. If it doesn't work 1 time out of 10, it will probably work 1 time out of 100 approaches. In short, stop wasting your time.
There are other PUA approaches that deliver faster results. The GM Style tactics I'm field testing are working for me 80% to 100% of the time. If it works, it will work on field. If it doesn't work when you test it on field, move on. It will never work no matter how hard you try.
