NLP is a farse.
Your other question, yes.
Most any guy can pickup a woman - keeping one is a different matter entirely. Pickup only breeds insecurity and is fear based. It cannot work for building and sustaining meaningful relationships. Unfortunately a lot of the people on this board have been brainwashed to believe otherwise. Most of them will realize, in time, that so-called Pickup techniques don't work, and will fall into their own style, the rest will remain disgruntled and never get over their 'women' problems not realizing its their own self-limiting beliefs that are holding them back from 'success'.
This could not be more wrong. Pickup techniques are what you make them. It's up to you to interpret them the right way. But it also depends on what you mean with "techniques". Let me give you a few examples.
Mystery Method, based on techniques and routines that make you a robot. Will most likely make you fail. But as someone put it, don't focus on what to DO, but on the person you need to BE. If you analyse the techniques (interpret them correctly) in MM you will realize they are actually BEHAVIORS successful men use. And all these behaviors follows from having the right ATTITUDE.
RSD has matured and realized this. They teach how to become an attractive man through self development, looking at all aspects of life, not only a few techniques you can use in a club.
About NLP. I don't know many such techniques other than pacing and leading. But this is a technique that works like a charm and that people use unconsciously all the time. It's natural human behavior.
I've used all these techniques, especially one night three years ago when I made a couple of girls go crazy on me. I am just about to marry one of them, and we have a son together. How about that, as an answer to "you can't use pickup techniques to get relationships"?
Being one's own person has nothing, whatsoever to do with pickup. Pickup is only trying to commodify the development of a 'better self', something which was catalyzed by the self-help movement in itself.
NLP has been debunked by research, search any reputable psych database (e.g., psycINFO) and you'll come across numerous studies which clearly prove this.
Most guys using PU methods who succeed with the odd girl are drawing incorrect causal references. The girl liked him to begin with prior to the use of these methods, but to his mind his success is predicated on the use of these pointless techniques.
As per RSD, it does promote building a stronger self, becoming centered in one's self - apart from some of the rapey, mysoginistic views it also helps perpetuate. That said, RSD is simply hijacking the self movement begun in the 1960s to sell product.
Pickup techniques are NOT open to interpretation as many are quite specific about algorithms and routines that insecure guys can rely upon, rather than encouraging guys to better themselves.
