On not being a natural when you need to learn game
Here's a metaphor: when you're learning to drive a car, you're having difficulty with the pedals, with shifting gears...and you need to pay attention to ALL of that while keeping your eyes on the read - it SUCKS, it's hard to learn. You need to watch the mirrors, time the moments you stomp on the brakes, etc.
But after a while, the pedals aren't so hard to use anymore..after a while, same goes for the gears and the mirrors - practice makes perfect. And slowly but surely, you've integrated everything about driving a car into your brain - you do it on auto-pilot.
Every time you step in your car, it will feel like you have done it all your life, naturally: seemingly without effort, without thought, without forcing things...it's doing while not thing. Taoism calls this wu wu wei
How is that NOT being a natural - doing it without thought, like you were born to do it, doing it effortlessly?
About natural game not being a "method"
Here I come with my fisherman example: there's this man I know, a retired fisherman who roamed the oceans for almost 30 years. All he ever saw was his boat, his fish, and the docks. So how was he ever going to meet and date women?
1. By knowing the docks he needed to visit very well - he would give tours of the place and the fancy boats, especially to the richer women who were in love with yachts...and they would fall for him and his raw, passionate, adventurous "sailor attitude" and stories of the dangers at sea
2. By inviting whatever women he would meet on his boat, taking them out fishing, standing behind them while teaching them how to fish with a silly net...putting his hands on their curves as he guided them, on purpose...so they would crave more physical contact..then he would fake boat, or fish trouble or weather trouble so he had all the time he needed for it...
He did 1 and 2 endlessly, for many years, he never read a single book about attraction - but doing what he did was the ONLY way to make HIS unique circumstances work for himself to get women.
That's all a natural, in essence, is: making YOUR unique circumstances work for you...basing seduction on YOUR life while the community tends to base lives on seduction
But...aren't the fish and the boat trouble, the sea stories, the tours..all calculated actions repeated over and over = routines = METHODS of meeting women? YES, naturally learned methods.
So, in reality, every natural has his own set of routines, lines, stories and whatever to make HIS (or HER) circumstances work.
Dare I say this metaphor: Mystery Method and other routine based systems are like the "computer market" with it's computers, hard drives, internet, chips, etc. the genral style...while each natural out there? His or her method are like the one creative employee of Google, IN that computer market. The generally speaking vs. the specialist, that's all there is to it really
