girl94I decided I’m going to start posting again here with some consistency.

Where did I go? What was I doing for the past… hmm… almost 7 months that kept me off of regularly posting here.

Well, as some of you may have noticed, I have had some changes of heart about the concepts that are most prevalent in the seduction / PUA / pick-up artist community. Some of you balked at what I had to say, some of you agreed and some of you said, “Quit whining… If you don’t like it, change it!” And I said I would and I will keep that promise.

Even still, it took me a while to reconcile how I was going to do it. And in many ways, thinking about picking up women or seduction was the furthest thing from my mind.

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been in a relationship. Not an open relationship. Not a relationship for show or for ego-gratification (like someone to praise me or to role-play some fantasy or to take care of me.) I was in the relationship because I cared deeply for the girl and she cared deeply for me.

We had ups, we had downs, we had things we needed to overcome. Maybe I will get into it at some point here, maybe I won’t.

Point is, during this time I started taking on big projects in other areas of my life. Projects that are meaningful to me and pretty massive in terms of what I am aiming to accomplish.

And when I started to deeply commit to pursuing my projects, I discovered [Click to Continue Reading…]

And that’s a great thing.

This is going to seem like a contradictory post from my first one last week but it’s more of a compliment. To prove such I’ll start by using another Tyler Durden quote.

“I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let’s evolve, let the chips fall where they may.”

While you may have goals and specific things that you may want to accomplish when it comes to pickup and your overall personal development, it’s important to understand that this thing called “life” will happen and in an instant, change the game on you. The key to your success journey is to just go with it.

When I finished school and went back to Boston, I had absolutely NO clue what was going to happen. I had visions of living with a few of my best friends, getting a kick ass job in design and being able to hang out with my old high school friends again, since I didn’t get to hang with them for nearly 5 years.

None of those things happened.

I ended up living at home with my parents, couldn’t get a job in [Click to Continue Reading…]

Edge – Learning Pick-up as a Path to Self-Mastery

by Edge Thoughts

When I approach learning to attract women and building my relationship/interpersonal skills, I approach it from a self-improvement standpoint, not from the standpoint of “getting ass”. Sure, it’s great to hook-up with women, no doubt. But, for me, that is just the beginning. Learning to be better with women has motivated me to be a [...]

Edge – Putting People Off With What You Say

by Edge Thoughts

So recently I’ve written about rewriting some of my old posts because I felt they were off-putting. One of the things I like to do when something feels “wrong” is to distill what it is that seems to be causing that feeling. What I think was off-putting about some of the things I had written [...]

Edge – Arrogance vs. Playful Cockiness

by Edge Journal

I recently mentioned how I went through some of my old posts and saw that the tone of some of my posts came across as arrogance (which was definitely not what I was going for in posting). Which brings me to the question: What separates arrogance from playful cockiness? Some of the things I said [...]

Edge – Morning Thought: It’s not about you.

by Edge Inner Game

I used to take things personally. I used to feel like judgments of other people really meant something, even if the other person was a complete stranger. Now, with my current mindset, it seems insane and I can’t even wrap my mind around it. But getting to this mental space happened gradually, over years. So [...]
