I was here thinking, on some other thread I read that girls like to know we are players, because it means we are used to hunting down the absolute best in terms of wemen and we decided to chase her specifically.

Now, in a scenario where you are friendzoned would overtly talk about PUA give you validation? Think about it, your friend says something like "you won't belive what happened, out of the blue a guy asked if I was going to spend the night at his place", and you answer something like "wow, the apocalipse opener. Nice". Or she says she likes some dude and you should help her, and you say "Sorry, I've been a wingman before, had a wingman, used a girl as a wingman but never helped a chick pick up a guy. That is a bit out of my expertiese". If you say stuff like that, you are showing you have been around, and are used to dating girls. For once, it builds value, it is a form of social proof. And secondly, she will start wondering what is wrong with her, you are a PUA but you are not trying to get her laid, so she will start wondering if she is not good enough and will qualify herself to you.

Does that make sense or it's just the Martini talking?

The way you're talking sounds like bragging.

The girl doesn't care about knowing random techniques. Knowing a name such as, "apocalypse opener" won't do you any good. Knowing how girls act in certain situations (contrary to how they say they act), and knowingly (and not judgmentally) letting the girl know you know these things will make her feel a greater connection with her. You understand the girl's world.

If anything, talking about it the way you're saying will make her think you're weird.

If you want, talk about how you study relationships between men and women, seduction, how to flirt and all that - that'll get her much more interested.

But why are you in a friendzone situation? Flirt with other girls. Try escalating on the current one.

Don't care about outcome.

I'm not in a friendzone situation. It was just a theoretical exercice to extrapulate a potential outcome. Stuff you think when you're stuck in traffic...

I sometimes talk tactics with people but i never call them PUA or say I read it on the net, I just make out like i came up with it all by myself.

Yeah, if you go walking up to a girl all like, "I'm a PUA, girl", all I can imagine is her laughing at you.

I'd just generally say you look into these sorts of things, and you like being seductive.

All this stuff really is is recognizing poor behavior, and correcting it into good behavior when it comes to attracting women. Are there "tricks" you can do? I mean, sorta, but not really.

The apocalypse opener might increase your probability of a SNL at the end of the night, but it's not really that advanced, strategically.

Talk to girls, touch them, use good body language, generally try to be funny and not come off as weird, escalate when you're alone with them.

That's pretty much the whole thing.
