Before I go into it I’d like to say that it is going to be very tough to read articles and posts here due to acronyms and slang. I suggest opening a second window with the PUA Dictionary and refer to it whenever you come across an acronym you don’t know.

Now that that’s out of the way, if you get started in any of this I want you to know that it will take time. You will have to put yourself out there and try things that will be very uncomfortable to you. It is going to be scary as fuck in the beginning. You’re (probably) going to fail over and over again, but I beg of you, stick with it because the rewards for mastering this stuff are beyond anything you’ve dreamed of.
So the first thing I want you to do is ask yourself, “Why am I here?” Do you want a good woman to marry, a girlfriend, or to have sex with lots of random women? (I’m sure for most of us it’s the latter ;-)) Whatever it is you need to make sure you’re going to commit yourself fully to this. I don’t mean say in your head “Oh this sounds like I good idea, I’ll do it.” You need to feel a drive within yourself that says, “I have to do this!” Find a way to make yourself go out and practice. A couple things you can do are keep a journal, get a friend to force you to go out, or make a personal goal to yourself. Of all the people that come here, only about 30% of them will actually try to improve themselves. Most of them will end up reading all of the material and then doing nothing. I know it seems terrifying to get started, but you are never going to get better if you don’t do something. You’ve been given an advantage over 99% of the guys out there. You have access to information that will improve your sex life dramatically. Now I can sit here and try to inspire you all day, but you are the one that needs to take action. In the words of the Nike saying

“Just do it.”

Now before you start making up excuses of why you cannot get your ass out there and do it, I’m going to try to nip them in the bud. I don’t want you to have any reasons for being unsociable.

1. “I’m too ugly/poor/tall/short/fat/goofy/or any other adjective.”

First off, this is a bad way to think and we’ll get into that later (see frame control), but for now I’m just going to address this problem. Unlike men, women aren’t as focused on physical attributes. While they do come into play, they are nowhere near as important to women as they are to men. Women are going to respond positively to you by how you make them feel. If you stimulate raging attraction by the things you say, she won’t care what you look like. The only advantage good looks are going to give you is that sets will usually open easier. Even so, if you don’t know your stuff they’ll still reject you.

2. “My peers will look down on me for what I’m doing.”

This is one thing I hate to see. Society has a view of “pick-up” as a bad thing. You have to be unaffected by it. Realize that you are trying to improve yourself. You’ve done the first step right to seek help. Don’t be ashamed of that. The general population thinks that seduction/pick up is a lying, cheating, and sneaky business. We do use routines, yes, but the guys that come here don’t know anything else. What they’ve tried to do hasn’t worked and now when they finally find something that does work society tells them no?! Fuck what society says. You’ve come here to become a man women want to be with. There is no shame in that. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

3. “What if I get rejected?”

There is no if, you will get rejected. In fact, it will probably happen a lot. You’re going to have to embrace the fear and just roll with it. After you’ve made your first few approaches, you will realize it isn’t so bad and that it’s actually kind of fun. Don’t put any pressure on succeeding the first couple times you go out. All you’re there for is to have a good time. When you get rejected, view it as a learning experience. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how to make it better. And remember, it is (almost) never the girls fault. You’re not aloud to say “Oh that girl was just a bitch, it’s not my fault.”

4. “Well I want to do this, but I don’t have a wing.”

I realize that some methods are pretty dependant on having a wing, but I know that all of them can be done without. If you don’t have a wing there are a few things you can do. You can go solo, which is quite good for your confidence and I really recommend you try it even if you have a wing. You can try and convince your friends to join you, but realize they may be afraid to go out or are too proud to admit they need help. You can also try and post in the wing section of the website to find a wingman in your area.

5. “Some of this doesn’t seem right to me. I feel like I’m being manipulative.”

You’ll have to use your own judgment to choose what you want to do. Decide what you think is right and wrong and follow your gut feel. Before you dismiss everything though, I’d like a chance to defend it. Many of the routines here are just to get you started. They’re a guideline to what you should be saying. The object of a routine is to give you something to say if you don’t have anything interesting to contribute yet. Make sure you’re memorizing the concept and what’s going on, not just the words. That way you can create routines unique to you later. It will help you ten fold. If you still don’t like the material than I suggest choosing Juggler method as it is very natural way to approach things.
I’d also like to add that these women you’re trying to pick up in the club aren’t the most truthful of girls as well. How many of them have fake nails, fake boobs, and fake hair extensions. How many are wearing heels to make them seem taller? And what about the guy that worked his ass off to get the girl to his place just to find out she was wearing a WonderBra? Now who’s manipulating who?
