STYLE ISNT WITH HIS GF ANYMORE! oh no!
they looked like they were perfect together in the game and on the internet they have nose rape videos and stuff. that is sad but i guess it happens. it makes me wonder though: is it hard for pua's to settle down? i mean... the only pua that i heard of settling down was the guy from australia in the book the game and then he divorced (there is la tripp of course but i think he is a rare exception haha).
this level of detachment to emotional ties with women scares me. i dont know if that is really what i want out of this. makes me wonder where the next generation is going to leave us and where the past generations are going
Yeah, I worry about that one too occasionally.
We're all using a lot of tactics that to allow us to dissociate ourselves from the learned and instinctual emotional response of fear to social situations. (AA and just about everything else that gives you that moment of
"Oh god, what do I do now?" of panic).
Part of the coping mechanism for rejection is to devalue the experience and dissociate from any emotional results of that experience. That's the whole idea behind getting used to crashing and burning as a newbie. Get blown out until you realize how
very little it matters.
Eventually you're no longer attached to the person, but the outcome when you sarge. When you're blown out it's not rejection, but failing at the game that bothers you. With failure you can shrug off and try again, and get better. There are always more sets to open. There are always more fish in the sea.
The result of that is general dissociation from emotional attachment to targets.
And everybody who isn't you and yours, is a target.
Tripp is right, though. You can always choose to be the exception. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. So choose the path you want for yourself. There are no rules except those we choose to live by.
