Hey BadKarma, if you are questioning the validy of this stuff try it out at see. You will believe my friend. On a personal level I have used this stuff on and off for the past three months. It does work, however, you have to have the confidence to pull it off otherwise you get blown out. I have been blown out many times, because i havent had the confidence but that is the only way to learn, when it works it fucking rocks. When you dont have the confidence girls see stright through it. Also, adapting the right routine for the right place. Opinion openers, for example, dont work very well in a high-energy club, I have found the 'hey do i know you from somewhere' approach then neg her with a cf story on the spot, or do the you look fun are you adventures call approaches to work better. It does work given you do it all at the right time and in the right context, and, to find that out you just have to go out and try, which can be hard but rewarding. I think overall to gain the confidence, or to appear to have the confidence to pull this shit off you should look up tyler durdens 25 mistakes all pua make posting on this website, and
www.seductionbase.com and look at some of the basic stuff there. Doing that stuff gives you an overall natural approach that will make you appear as if you have the confidence to not get blown out of the water with routines. Of all the things I have learnt it is that if she subtly blows you out then dramatise your emotions and punish her, look away, turn around and talk to the next girl (which is very easy to do once other girls have seen you talking to an attractive, random girl). Here are the things I have had 100% seuccess with:
the kiss close once you have had enough indicators of interest- on 7 occasions
styles 5 questions game (look in youtube.com)
cf role play where you make up a role play making out as if you have previously either rejected them or dumped them
