Style says in his book, The Game (as well as in other videos of his) that Pickup is nothing more than:

1. Who you are
2. What you say
3. How and When you say it

He says in a video series of his, The Annihilation Method, that:

People who do Direct Game are more Quality-focused, where as people who memorize the words and patterns are more System/Pattern-focused. (The best thing, he says, is to develop all three).

Just thought that was interesting - because it breaks down the biggest components of PU.

Hi i'm new in this forum so forgive me if my response didn't quite capture the core of your question

but during the past years i've personally noticed that being great in the theory will just count maximum 35% of the total work of picking up (of course, personal estimations), while the other 65% is just physical (self-confidence that causes perfect body language + looks)

so in my opinion the first thing a beginner should do, is to work on their self confidence, obviously there are many ways you can do that, there are books explaining way better than me how to do it, i'd for example suggest a friend to join a thaj-boxing gym to start, only if you have inner and honest self confidence you give girls/women that feeling they have in front of them someone who can make them enjoy more their life

Love your post, VanPelt!

Didn't intend to communicate this as a question--I'll phrase my next comment a bit differently--but I agree with your percentages involving game.

In fact, I'd say their spot on. Thanks for that comment.

Talk soon --

It`s an excellent focus and you can approach the thing with questions:

Who are you?
What do you comunicate?
What timing do you use when comunicating?

3 different questions that you have to change in order to become better at this.
