PUA: “Hey…I know this is totally random..but, do you happen to have (pull out 2 quarters from your pocket and pretend you’re doing a calculation in your head)…uh…50 cents on you, because, I am trying to work my way up to a dollar and I’m almost there!”
(she gives you some change)
Option 1:
PUA: “I have a feeling this will be the start of a wonderful relationship.” (cocky approach)
Option 2:
PUA: “Actually, I’m going to keep the change, but, I really wanted to meet you because I think your beautiful” (direct approach)
The beauty of this opener is that even if the set totally bombs, you still get some money off of it at least.
Also a good tactic for the homeless

“Mind Reading” (50% Chance of success or failure)
Approach the target and casually say “Can I ask you something?” they respond in the affirmative and you say “What would you say if I tell you I could read your mind?” They get interested and you say “Think of a number between 1 and 6” (The number the person chooses is almost always 3 or 4). If you guess the correct number they will look on in amazement and the game is on.
i like those odds

For a while, this guy on Twitter shilling his $10 PUA ebook responded to every @PUA_txt tweet with sincere advice and criticism, apparently not getting the joke.
The guy, Ray Charles Gordon, turns out to be a prolific writer of PUA garbage who has been churning out his crap on the internet since the 90s. Here you can read his schizophrenic 600-page PUA book, which include a hundred overly-detailed “field reports” dating back to 1980 interspersed with horrible advice and his insane life story as a frequently-unemployed racetrack gambler living with his mother, posting on PUA BBSes, and filing several lawsuits against UPenn for “affirmative-action reverse discrimination.”
It’s really something to behold. He gives the girls bizarre code names like “Le Club,” “OTL,” and “SHBWitchy.” He keeps alluding to the “Battle of Kate” (seriously, search for this term, it comes up dozens of times) and pursuing “Kate-positive traits.” He promotes “hypnosex” as his favorite kind of sex. He details, with exact figures, his gambling losses and financial strategies that involve declaring bankruptcy and mooching off his ailing mother.
His fucking website URL is literally toosmarttofail.com.
Seriously, scroll to any random page of this PDF and you will find something ridiculous and amazing from “one of the original seduction-community PUAs,” a guy who, for his headshots, apparently went to the same headshot photographer as John Wayne Gacy:

Highlights include “Field Report Seventeen” (pg. 244):
Met another “future target” tonight: SHBTakeout (9.99) is incredibly hot, but only fifteen, so I had to keep it light… She’s like a fishbowl (chicken pen?) target, so we’ll be chatting a bit, definitely infrequently until she’s legal (sixteen in Pennsylvania).
On page 503 he details his battles against the corrupt marketers and unjust moderation on some fucking PUA message board from the 90s. This conspiracy then somehow relates to his UPenn lawsuits:
UPenn did its best to block my working there, including arguing in federal court that I was unemployable, and even getting a former law professor at UPenn Law (the “honorable” Anita Brody) to order a psychiatric examination
Apparently nefarious forces in the PUA community were sufficiently threatened by him to create what he calls a “hate website” against him:
WARNING: “Ray Gordon” is a <insert garden variety libel>, who suffers from debilitating mental illness. He is unemployed and lives with his mother at age <28-41>.
If you want to check out what would have happened if Ignatius Reilly had the internet, or if Vincent Gallo and Henry Darger stepped into the teleportation machine at the same time, then read this PDF. Be sure to share with your friends at PUA.txt any fascinating finds.
BONUS CONTENT
Gordon just started making YouTube videos (sorry, embedding is disabled). Here’s him ranting about how Neil Strauss and VH1 ripped him off, and here’s one where he explains that PUA is dead and that “MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way)” is the new way pick up women.
Fantastic.
Thanks to @crystalproteins, who sent me these videos totally by coincidence. Yet another PUA.txt miracle.

Here’s one for my good friends at Your Kickstarter Sucks:
At face value, this is a Kickstarter for a dumb horror movie capsuled as “Trapped in an elevator, a blind holocaust survivor discovers that not all of the passengers are who (or what) they claim to be.”
Upon closer reflection, however, you discover that virtually all of the rewards are weird PUA books and DVDs:



“aka ‘The Art of F*cking” Look dude I don’t think you’re going to offend anyone’s delicate sensibilities on your Holocaust survivor PUA horror movie Kickstarter, you can just go ahead and type a cuss word.
In case you were wondering, Hypnotica isn’t a mid-90s Britpop band, it’s this thing:

His move is to hypnotize you while you try to comprehend how it’s possible to have facial hair that terrible without breaking the laws of physics.
And, of course, the director, Steve Myles, is a PUA who calls himself “Sexual Chocolate” and offers 1-on-1 coaching because you literally can’t be a PUA without starting a goddamned cottage industry based on how stupid you look. It’s how these people replicate.

terrible quote from some fuckhead
It’s manipulative! I feel that when you buy a drink for a girl, you’ve given up your power to her. She knows she can make you her little bitch buying more drinks for her, and attraction goes downhill.

Casanova didn’t come “straight from the ghetto” and Porfirio Rubirosa wasn’t the product of Jewish machinations. Some Jews have certainly been behind the recent push to spread the pickup artist lifestyle, but even The Game’s Jewish author Neil Strauss advocates marrying and having children. His book itself shows the most well-known modern pickup artist, Erik “Mystery” von Markovik, as a histrionic, suicidal manic-depressive who seemingly spends more time crying than picking up women—hardly as anyone to emulate
hey here’s a white nationalist writer extolling the virtues of PUA in an article called “Pickup Artists, Game, & White Nationalism”
bet you never thought you’d see that!

I heard a theory that it goes back to the caveman days. Rape was so common on those days that women just had to accept it. Their brain evolved to a point were they just accepted being physically dominated and even started to enjoy it, as a survival mechanism. When they knew they were about to be raped they learned to not fight back, because fighting back lead to more serious injury or death.
Just a theory

Femininity is a quality that pleases men. Therefore from the chart we can deduce that educated women decrease a man’s happiness. A good test to see if a girl is over-educated is to add the word “sexy” before her job title. If the resulting phrase ignites arousing images in your head, then she’ll most likely have what it takes to satisfy you.

Basically the darker red the more culturally marxist the country, with feminist women, distorted gender roles, and generally a mediocre family structure. The lighter green the country, the more it has feminine women, traditionally evolved gender roles, and a sound family structure. The number in each country represents the total amount of women’s/gender studies programs in colleges/universities in a country.
The map below is a modified version of that map to show how I think western feminism will spread over the next several years.
Red arrow = spread of feminism
Green arrow = force of resistance
[…] Russia will attempt to maintain it’s rich culture and extend it’s political influence. Hopefully globalization and outside influence will not wear her thin. To the south Islamic countries provide resistance to the spread of feminism, and their immigrants in the future may outbreed and fail to integrate culturally with western European nations, thereby causing cultural and political division.
[…] If you like traditional and feminine girls then you have a couple of options. If you like white girls, then learn Russian. If you like latinas, then this is your heyday. If you like Asians, don’t worry. And if you like blacks, there’s always Africa

what I noticed is that it’s common to get a text saying merry xmas or happy holidays, right? So if you send a generic text you’ll get a generic response. Like for instance thanksgiving and xmas are emotional holidays to women cause it represents years and years of memories of when they once were little girls.. That’s one of the things I love to do is make them feel those emotions as if they’re girls again instead of an HB 9 with big titties. When I do that They are more comfortable with me knowing they have flaws and insecurities but I like who she is anyways. And when they think of me, they’ll remember the positive ways I make them feel.
happy thanksgiving
really, please just have a happy thanksgiving and not worry about disgusting assholes like this

I have to admit. Women open me up just on one item alone and that’s my fedora hats. Dudes open me up on one particular Diesel watch I love to wear. I’ve had guys come up and shake my hand while stating I am the best dressed dude at the joint because everyone else is wearing the same thing.
