I was just thinking about the fear of picking up women and wanted to pass along some advice that my karate instructor gave me. Trust me it will make sense. One day my head master was teaching our class and he said, "When you are about to fight someone you have to have absolutly no doubt in your mind that you can take the person on. No matter what size the person is" Same goes for women. When we are studing Mystery Method or David D or who ever you are learning from, you have to have no doubt in your mind that the material is going to work and you can do it. Once that doubt hits, it's game over. David D mentions on one of his cd's he talked to someone that does karate. You learn it for thoses few split seconds when you are in a confrotation. Trust me I am no PUA but I am applying this when approching women.
