I picked up PUA bout 5 months ago, never used any canned material but pretty much used it as a map to get my natural game right, i was too proud to use anything someone else made anyway.

The Main things I've noticed that you need are:

-Originality
-Being Genuine
-Being Well Spoken or Creative.

The Biggest road block I had was having moods that fluctuate very often making it really hard to game sometimes... alot of times I was way too distracted to even be my natural self.

But that taught me one thing; Just doing it for fun WORKS.. but heres why.. When a girl likes me, I usually Sense it. In the beginning I used to look for iois but after so many approaches they all started looking the same to me, I became extra sensitive to them and they all just meshed together into a sort of 6th sense for buying temperature, now when I notice the slightest reaction to my presence I KNOW exactly what it is, and I haven't been wrong yet. The one thing I noticed is, in order to raise someones buying temperature with your game.. YOUR buying temperature has to be high already, because they really just MIRROR your buying temperature. Any time I had trouble gaming was always because my own mood wasn't fun or my intentions were too analytical and robotic, but when I'm genuinely stimulated & in the mood, I'm always unstoppable. I'm more funny, more original, the sexual tension is always higher & everything becomes easy.

I joke a lot, cocky funny is MY SHIT. I'm THE MAN at it... ever since High School I've been blowing people out with my wittiness, But the honest truth is, I HAVE TO do it with the main intention of entertaining MYSELF, or it WILL NOT work. Matter fact, a lot of times I unintentionally come off as cocky just because in order to do it right, i have to literally not care who I offend or how it people take it, But I never look rude doing that because people get so sucked into the fun of it they forget about the social rules & dont even think of respect and all that... its just fun.

I think we might be very similar in this regard. The issue with me is turning it on at the right time and how far to let it go. I have had times when I just let it go and it flows and the whole room is laughing.

The downside is that this type of behavior is very polarizing and there are plenty of times when it is totally wrong

i understand what you're saying, often I'm in and out of the game as well. But each time I break back in I can STAY in longer and have better control.

Spot of with mirroring buying temp. I notice often times women will probe for your BT, then immediately shit test that to see if its genuine, fuckin sneaky bastards.

Also like your point about the intentions. If you're intentions are the least bit hidden, your game will reflect that. I think the majority of us are hiding our intentions because of our fear of breaking social rules. Which is fuckin retarded, im SO GLAD to be free of that fear.

another thing is Girls are the same as guys sexually but there's just resistance because of generalizations they have due to social rules that you have to know how to go around but any time you don't get the lay, it has nothing to do with you, its just because you didn't go around them right.

I have real issues being socially awkward around strangers dude. So fucking hard...

^ I highly recommend the blueprint by tyler durden, its reaaaalllyy good for that kinda stuff.. the book is good, but the DVD seminars are the best.. buy it if u can, but if you cant download it, point is, get it, cuz it'll change your mind set.

He basically covers what i said here, and adds allllllottt more about self image and ego restricting you and causing u to become stifled and how to change your social conditioning to counter it.

totally get what you guys are saying.
I sometimes go too far coz I get too caught up in my jokes because I have a slightly sadistic nature
the important thing to do though is not force it. i may loose a chick and not mind if it's becuase she's overly sensative. however I do get annoyed with myself if I say something stupid because I forced a stupid joke

the other day I bumped into a girl I chatted up but she was like oh i ahve a bf when I tried to number close. this time joked around with her and had her telling me that she doesn't give hand jobs because she doesn't see the point in doing something a guy could do by himself; she'd rather blow (I was saying I find girls hand jobs ridiculously rough, am I the only one?). also talked about she liked to tickle guys balls...
I managed to mess that up with my mouth
not because I tried to hard though, was drunk and havign way too much fun to even think about getting into a serious/comfort conversation!
