So what? Life getting laid is better than life not getting laid.

Is makeup painted delusion?
 

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

That's good. I think he lifted "Do not allow yourself to become arrogant or resentful" from the poem Desiderata, which I only know because it used to be popular to hang on bathroom walls.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

PUA is great. Ask Neil Strauss. How else was a 5'6" balding invisible guy going to get laid?
His baldness (shaved head) worked well for him. He had a captivating look and personality and most likely would have done well at seduction without all his PUA strategies.

He wrote in his biography that PUA nearly destroyed him, he had a breakdown and was hospitalized.

After getting into a relationship and married model Ingrid De La O, he wrote how he struggled to build and maintain a relationship after his years of immersion in the seduction community.

The marriage lasted five years. He's the first to admit now that PUA = not so great.

It doesn't matter how good-looking you are, how romantic you are, how funny you are... or anything else. If she doesn't have something INVESTED in you and the relationship, preferably quite a LOT invested, she'll dump you, without even the slightest hesitation, as soon as someone a little more "interesting" comes along.

He shaved his head due to a receding hairline.

Unlikely. Look at him prior to PUA. He was a guy in his early 30s with a decent status job writing for Rolling Stone. Despite his degree from an Ivy League school (Columbia University) and an above average journalism job, women still thought he was complete shiit.

Mystery and the other PUAs turned him from a zero into a attractor-seducer. Mystery did more for him than his Ivy League did for him.

He wrote in his biography that PUA nearly destroyed him, he had a breakdown and was hospitalized.

He's the first to admit now that PUA is not so great.
He was deprived of sex from his teens until his mid-30s. Once he learned how to get sex consistently, he went far with it. It's understandable how he would feel the need to make up for lost time.

Strauss is one of the most successful PUA students of all time.

After getting into a relationship and married model Ingrid De La O, he wrote how he struggled to build and maintain a relationship after his years of immersion in the seduction community.

The marriage lasted five years.
PUA was not the reason his marriage failed. Strauss has been called a major Thrill of the Hunt seducer (see below). Thrill of the Hunt guys are less well suited for monogamy than Pleasure of Sex men or even the typical normie, blue pill, AFC, beta male.


It's very difficult to have a higher quality monogamous relationship that lasts more than 5 years. Strauss and Ingrid De La O lasted a total of 8 years.

So what? It still worked well for him. I've heard many women say they find a man with a shaved head quite sexy.

According to Psychology Today and other reputable sources, it denotes masculinity no matter what a man's reason is and a sort of 'take no prisoners' attitude.

Not giving a crap what others think aka IDGAF which as we all know is quite appealing to the fairer sex.

So did I and it worked for me too. Shaved head can be as sexy to a woman as a shaved pvssy can be to us.

The way you're saying is making puz the #1 priority.
He also believes that buying it with an escort is also a valid notch-count.

But then again, he does not come from the same background of someone swimming in that in their teens and getting into trouble. I think most Gen-Xers and Old-Millenials on here were not popular kids growing up and got into game at some point later in their lives. They all have a "make up for lost time" mindset which informs their beliefs. However, that is not where my headspace is which is a good thing about having religious values.

Not really. I'm describing myself rather than starting a discussion. You seem more intent on starting a discussion otherwise why would you pick on that specific line in the paragraph? That is what you are focused on not me.

Even though I do not like PUA myself I think JP is completely out of touch with the modern dating market and men's struggles with it.
