picking up women

I was having a conversation with Legend this afternoon about taking effective action to reach my goals.

Specifically, we were talking about blow-outs and how crashing and burning with a girl or a few girls is a very good sign.

Why? Because it means you’re truly putting yourself out there and experimenting to the limit.

So yeah, I admit it. I still get blown out. But I also have great success because I put myself out there all the way – anyone who says they have a perfect track record is lying to you.

In fact, even some of the top “gurus” in the field (who Legend and I have hung out with) admit to having true success with only 1 out of 3 women.

Now before you start spitting on a 33% success rate for the most well-known gurus in the pick-up artist arena, think about this: A 33% success rate means having the most beautiful woman you can imagine eating out of the palm of your hand, willing to do nearly anything for you.

If that means having 2 “unsuccessful” interactions with 2 other incredibly gorgeous women before I reach that third successful one… that’s a deal I can live with. And I don’t think there’s any guy who would turn that deal down either.

Anyway, there was a point I was driving toward here. I had said that, if anything, I should be aiming to have more blow-outs because that shows that I am truly getting out of my comfort zone.

Don’t get me wrong – since we started Pick-up Evolution in 2008, my comfort zone has expanded greatly from where it was.

But comfort zone is something [Click to Continue Reading…]

153374055_e2ce6493aaI was having a conversation with some guys about the seduction community this past Saturday night.

These were guys that had read up on a bunch of material, read “The Game”, etc.  We were sharing our thoughts on the techniques mentioned in that book and a lot of the techniques that have come and gone in the seduction community.

I want to make a comment about the seduction community and how it came to be.  The seduction community started out during the late 80′s/early 90′s.  Feminism was rampant and the pendulum of political correctness had swung WAAAY over to an almost anti-male sentiment.  I feel like there are still some lingering after-effects of that time even today, but for the most part, the era of extreme male bashing and feminazism has past.

Still, it was during that time that Speed Seduction came to be.  In fact, as Neil Strauss mentions in “The Game”, that was also the time when the internet was beginning to form.  It didn’t look like the internet we know today, but nerdy kids like me can remember the days of BBS (Bulletin Board Systems), Echo-mail and Newsgroups.

This atmosphere helped form a cohesion among men wanting to improve their skills with women.  Think about it.  Men were afraid to speak frankly about wanting to be successful [Click to Continue Reading…]

Edge – Can Meditation Help Pick Up Chicks?

by Edge Technique

As you may have read, I have re-committed myself to doing yoga consistently. Like a shower – everyday. Someone came to PuE recently and said, “That’s great that yoga/meditation helped you get rid of anxiety, but can meditation and/or yoga help pick up chicks?” Based on what I’ve been seeing… YES. But there’s a missing [...]

Edge – An Interaction is Useless If She’s Not Reaching

by Edge Thoughts

I used to rate interactions on how long I could stay in the conversation. I would be talking to some girl and the conversation would be meandering down some boring path, but she hadn’t walked away so I still felt I was “in”. Kind of silly actually because inevitably the girl would be bored out [...]
