Ok this happened to me just after I had started this PUA stuff. One of my best mates came down (4 hours drive) from uni for my B-Day before we went out I let slip something like "I hear you should have a decent pair of shoes because girls reall dig that" and then said "I read it somewhere on the internets". Anyway later on we at the pub and the girl i was gaming has come out for it as well then right infront of everyone he goes "g00-its been reading books on how to get girls!" I didnt know what to do lol, I mean I laughed it off but really affected my inner game especially in regards to girl I was supposedly gaming ;( barely spoke to her all night and she even bought me a drink lol. My mate is the classic AMOG so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for this situation. In the end I had few words later on and he apologised if he went too far and that but it was just banter which I know *sigh* just wasn't ready for it! So any thoughts on what I should do in future! I know not to let it affect me like I did.

Oh yea almost forgot my mates gf who is mates with the girl I was gaming came over to give me a hug and was like "woah! too much cologne there, your not going to pull tonite!" Made the classic mistake of putting my cologne on forgetting about it and putting it on a 2nd time lol. Now again I laughed it off but these two things destroyed my inner game for the night!

Now with both these things especially the 1st one if had been able to turn it around on them that would of been great! Not to mention rather than ruining my game it would of spurred me on

Keep working on your inner game , u are right things like that shouldnt rly tank it. Prepare to crash and burn, even with your friends gone it is still gonna happen over and over and over. The good part about it is that it grows a stonger confidence. ( U are here , reflecting , learning from your mistakes , if u would go out tonight and had the exact same thing happen it wouldnt affect u as mutch )

The easyest solution to this is dont take your friends sarging, if u are uncomfortable doing it solo , find yourself a nice mentor / wingman.

The last and most important part is u got to be "quick on your feet". Again this is a skill learned by practising and failing. The general spirit should be to try to make the best out of it , no matter what has happned. Let the AFC roll over and die in situations like that , u are not allowed to do that anymore

Well I guess that will come with practice! I used to be really quick on my feet and people used to say I had the funniest one liners back in school but I got heavily involved with drugs and fucked up harsh since then the magics gone lol but been clean for 2 years now and slowly working back up lol it will come in time!

Anyway back on topic could'nt really avoid my friends being out with me on my b-day now could I lol! I would like to go sarging with a wing or mentor but dont know anyone as of yet to fill either role.

Also i'm wondering if anyone has good line to counter "You've been reading books on how to pick up girls" or "are you a pua?" etc. would be great.

A few of my friends know about my PUA material. When they throw something out, I say something like, "Actually, that's only part of it. I read a lot of material on human social behavior, and, of course, dating is a part of it. But I think 'picking up girls' is just a cheap form of psychology, blah blah blah..."

The next thing you know, I'm discussing Sigmund Freud and stuff like that. Basically, I repackage PU into a nicer context.
