seduction community

When I started Pick-up Evolution with Legend, it was my intent to create the type of website I would want to read. That is, if it was going to be about pick-up artist techniques and theory, I wanted it to be based on real world experience. If it was going to be a place where we shared our experiences, it was going to be a raw recollection of what ended up happening.

During mid-2008 through the end of the year it was just that: A raw report of what Legend and I were learning, our experiences and our trail & error. Plus our thoughts and experiences with motivation, learning pick-up artist techniques / seduction, self-improvement and life experiences.

When we started PuE, I was already saying that the market was saturated with pick-up artist products that were all essentially rehashes of the same material (many of which were “clones” of Mystery Method). Legend and I felt that everything that was being said in 2008 had already been said before and it was time that the “seduction community” (aka guys who actively want to be better with women) start moving into new territory.

At the beginning of 2009, we decided to [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…]

I’m going to be very candid and straight up here. Lately, I have slowed down my contributions to Pick-up Evolution. This doesn’t mean it’s permanent… it’s just what has happened. The truth is, I love this site: I love the success it has had so far, I love our readers and I love that we [...]

Edge – Portrait of a Pick-up Artist

by Edge seduction community

When I first learned about pick-up artists and the “seduction community” back in 1999, I can remember the thoughts that went through my head. “Is it really possible to meet beautiful women and just… pick them up? Is this real or is it a marketing scheme? If it works, will it work for me?” And [...]

Edge – Abandon the Seduction Community, Secret Society Mentality

by Edge seduction community

OK, I’m going to talk about something that may offend some people. It may especially offend some of the people marketing products to you on their blogs. My opinion is that it’s time to dump the seduction community, pick-up artist secret society bullshit. I mean, I fill my blog with the words pick-up artist, pua, [...]

Edge – Finding Your Pick-up Artist (PUA) / Seduction Teacher

by Edge Thoughts

I had a thought today about learning to be better with women, better pick-up artist, better at seduction, etc. Whatever you want to call it. I think that there are some figures in the seduction community that promise to give you certain skills or certain problems. Some focus on hypnotic language patterns, some focus on [...]
