		<description>Speaking of adapting to one&#039;s environment...
So lots of the things I like to do attract simple men...or rather singularly focused men. They know off roading, hunting, and fishing, but little else. Yeah, I love those things, but I love other stuff too. I have no idea what to do from here...Hanging out at the Cafe Corner today with son, Nick all I ran into were married cops, and a physician&#039;s assistant who&#039;s old enough to be my dad, and I already know him.... I&#039;m so glad I&#039;m going on vacation Saturday...</description>

		<description>Blazn2go,

You are 47?  you are not old and you CAN get plenty of success in SoCal.

You haven&#039;t gotten as much success in CA as in other states?  Great!  You can now recognize that each environment has its own subtle cultural differences.  It&#039;s up to you to figure out what works for you and what doesn&#039;t.

You meet women who have a &quot;I think I&#039;m a goddess&quot; mentality.  I have to wonder where you meet them.  But more importantly, I have to wonder what kind of qualities you project first when you meet women.  If you always project your success onto others, they will try to project how great they are back to you.

You are right... it all comes down to you being very comfortable in yourself and believing in yourself.  That&#039;s what David teaches.  The question for you right now is:  Do you really believe in yourself?

The Mastery Series can help you get there but you have to want it... just like anything else.

Finally, if you really haven&#039;t had ANY success in SoCal... maybe it&#039;s you.  What are you doing to adapt the &quot;you&quot; to the current environment you are in.</description>

		<description>Balzn

I nor you would ever do anything that we can not make a living.

But the bottom line is you still refuse to take me up on my offer.

I am here to help you and each week that passes by is another week you can change what is going on in your life.

You were given a money back promise and an hour of free coaching if it did not work.
In order to be a success in anything you need to take chances.

You know that....I know that.

You are the type of man that i change on a daily basis!!

What are you waiting for.............</description>

		<description>I&#039;m coming wayyyyyy late to this post... but man what a long trail of comments!

The PUA Community does have a lot of different factions nowadays.  I have met a lot of the different guys in that Community and &quot;Natural Game&quot; is the closest to what David teaches.

As David said, there&#039;s a little bit of everything for everyone in that Community but some advice is better than others.  Using tricks only get you so far... and works best if all you care about is getting laid.

If you want something deeper and more meaningful, nothing beats learning how to be confident in being yourself.  Yes... I did say BEING yourself.

What a lot of PUAs like to argue is that being yourself doesn&#039;t work.  Well it doesn&#039;t work b/c they assume that being yourself is being the you that is now.

Being yourself is not being the you that is now.  Being yourself is finding and defining your true core identity and acting genuinely and authentically to it.  When you do that, you can attract anyone.

Now, I believe Scott or Jeff (I don&#039;t remember which one)  said he had success using the techniques from the PUA Community.  I&#039;ll agree with him that a lot of techniques do work... but they get success in spite of the techniques. 

The guys who get success by using the techniques they learned from the PUA Community actually learn to express themselves better, in a more confident ways.  It&#039;s not the technique that works, it&#039;s THEM.  They learned to carry themselves and project who they are in more attractive ways.

Most of pickup that are based on scripts or other clever manipulation are just sales tactics revamped and re-engineered to fit the &quot;dating&quot; scene to get the &quot;close&quot;.</description>

		<description>JustMe - Haha, I would never walk up to a random girl and comment on her chest or any girl for that matter, that was my whole point. I was saying it was a bad idea to do period. I was using that as an example to see if I was understanding what Jules was saying. 
Just so we&#039;re clear, I&#039;m not wanting to use that as an opener... I have just a little more class than that ;).
I do understand what you were trying to say though Jules.</description>

		<description>There is a lot of stereotyping and generalizing going on on this page.  

I think there is a great variety of PUA approaches.  One end would have the old mystery with his indirect game and the other might have Wygant with his natural game.  There is a lot in between.

In the PU community Wygant is seen as a PUA.  He has been interviewed by David D, Style and Mehow.  He is all over the pick up market.

As they say in marketing &quot;differentiate or die&quot;  Wygant is positioning himself against the mainstream but that is getting harder.  The trend is toward being yourself and natural game now.  You could take his posts and put anyone of several famous PUAs names on them and people would believe the PUAs wrote them.

I think the pro PUAs should keep doing whatever brings in the bucks for them whether PickUp2.0, transformation, natural game, being yourself with no gurus, being authentic....

Good luck to them all in making a living doing what they love.</description>

		<description>hmmm, i think i confused myself a bit! been reading too much stream of consciousness lately =S

nah, i was thinking of girls in general, i have friends with younger sisters and plenty of neighbours who have youngsters.. whom i talk to on a regular basis.. (and my fuuuuture kids :P) and yes, my friends too..
even those who are older than me! i feel as if by taking care of looks and at the same time saying that it doesn&#039;t matter confuse people..did that make any sense?</description>

		<description>CPR - Didn&#039;t mean to confuse ya ;)  But I think the stranger situation is too broad to give you a for-sure answer ... I&#039;d never have that be your opening comment to any woman - once you&#039;re talking to her then use your judgment :) 

JustMe:  Sorry - no kids :)  I&#039;m not sure I know what you&#039;re asking otherwise - how to get your friends to feel about their bodies the way you do?</description>

		<description>Lol, CPR I totally understand your confusion :P but why would you ask an unknown woman about her chest? Out of curiosity? 

Jules and Bertie I have a question for you (not about fake boobs in particular but about body image and self confidence) as I feel the fake boob issue is covered (?): this may sound corny and very clichè, but my confidence which I&#039;ve gained through internal personal changes and self awareness seems to be ignored by too many women (they think it&#039;s all about the external things).. also by some of my friends.. I used to be too skinny in junior high school. I was often made fun of, because it was something I myself was not proud of, I didn&#039;t have that curvy body I saw all over television etc.. over the years my style in clothing has become more unique and people seem to love it.. the way I wear myself, so to speak.. and like I said I&#039;ve come to love my skinny body, though it has become more curvy since puberty hit me.. today I experience that girls seem to think it is because I have changed and refined my outer looks that I get more attention! It is because of the way I look at myself that makes a difference.. How can I project that message? It&#039;s not about what I wear etc.. not to me atleast. I feel so bad for those younger girls that get the wrong messages :(  Have any of you kids? Any input?</description>
