Can you run a set from a place of 100% authenticity?

No canned openers or routines...no roleplays or cocky funny lines....no cold reads or false disqualifiers...can you disregard all the pick up "technology" out there and break all the rules and still have the girl interested?

Relying only on tonality, body language, eye contact, humor, genuiness (to the point where you say what is TRULY on your mind, even if it's nothing), and giving value.

Now here's the tricky part...can you do all that while not feeling anything negative? No nervousness, anxiety, outcome dependance (any kind of outcome not just sex), analysis of the situation, a feeling to perform PU, doubt, thinking this is stupid or not going to work, or sadness.

Just two simple things. Running a set with no persona or social mask and being 100% authentic and yourself plus letting go of any negativity you might have.

Try it and see what happens.

Isn't this describing a natural?

I did something similar on thursday night, I had convinced myself I wasn't going to bother trying to get women that night and instead was just going to get wasted and have some fun with my buddies. Sure enough I got hammered and ended up in the smoking area, somehow I got talking to a blonde who at the time I thought was average. She was a cool person and she said to add her on facebook, the next day I add her and find out it is a girl me and my mates have liked for months.
Also on the way out of the club I saw a gorgeous brunette, as I was on a "PUA Holiday" I decided to just be completely honest with her. I walked up told her I thought she looked good and 20 seconds later had her number.

I think all PUAs should do this from time to time, it shows you what you have got that isn't routines or conscious effort.

Jaybot, this doesn't work every time Last Wednesday I went on rejection tour with using the line "You're hot, lets make out." Straight to the point and brutally honest, but got blown out three times.

#1 Had a a bf for four years, I negged her on having a bf from age 14 to 18 while she was like 22 (big eyes; wtf did he just tell me)
#3 Just made out with some random dude within 3 minutes and giving a friend of mine eye contact and then looked at me; thinking "did he saw me making out". Approached her later "Listen, there's 2 options; 1, You're gonna make out with me right now or option 2; you're never going to see me again. Then she started talking to me and I had no idea what she was talking about she had chosen for option 2

Okiokdan

Yeah every so often I have a direct game night they are fun but usually don't work but when I don't game I seem to have a nagging urge to just do the odd set in a half assed way, I think I will have to experiment. Its probably because I am not focusing on the outcome and because I have accepted the fact that chances are I will be blown out I am laid back.

Okio what you did isn't what I'm talking about. It's social experimenting (which is great, don't get me wrong, and something you should do). But it's still using lines, still you on pick up mode, and still you trying to run game.

Jaybot you're right on. While in this mindset of no game game I had an eerily similar experience as you. I went out without any intent to run game, didn't work the room and generate social proof, wasn't all talkative and fun energy. I went there to literally just hang out with my bouncer friend and have drinks with another friend and just chat about whatever.

While chatting this girl sits right next to me and begins looking around like she's lost. I was genuinly curious and asked "looking for something?" and from there we began talking. At no point was I thinking of this as an opener though, I just truly wanted to know. I honestly ran no real game on her either. I was just genuine and chatted with her. I might have naturally teased or made a joke but it wasn't done with the intention of trying to create attraction. I also had absolutely no self doubt since I wasn't trying to get anything and I honestly didn't care. I had no real negative emotions like anxiety at all...just pure indifference. At the end of it she asked what I was doing later on in the week and I told her and welcomed her to join. She then gave me her number.

That was with Miss Vancouver who came in 6th place at the Miss Universe pageant.
