I watched wedding crashers for the first time in a long time tonight and it sort of brought me a couple of conclusions about what we do, or are trying to do. The first thing I must say about the movie is that although scripted, those guys were good, I mean if you ever needed a wing or canned material, thats how you implement the stuff to a fucking T. Some of the stuff is a little corny, but the mechanics of it all are masterful. Back to my original thought, I realized that if any of us ever do become masters of our trade, we still are victim to one-itis. I feel that its inevitable that we will all one day find that person who makes our lives feel complete. No matter whether you are in the game to get laid, to feel socially accepted or just to have a certain power and confidence to your everyday life, all the practice in the world cannot save us from emotion. I also truly believe that it is the AFC in all of us that will be our saving grace when this moment does arise. Just like at the end of wedding crashers, when Owen Wilson busts into Vince Vaughns wedding, honesty and speaking from your heart is what won the girl. No amount of canned material will help you through a situation like that and this is why we must not loose who we truly are. I think that we can easily get lost in this whole gaming scene and become something we are not, we are not naturals, we are those who work hard towards something we are passionate about and I feel this passion should not be the exploitation of women, but the love of women. We should not end up like Claires douchebag fiancé, who was an asshole throughout the movie and only had the girl because of his looks and his overconfidence, someone who had lost all respect for women because of his success in life. As much as we would all love to have the kind of ability to manipulate women with ease, we should not abuse the power. I truly believe our saving grace is that at somepoint in life, we have all been let down, hurt and emotionally broken. We know what its like to be on the loosing end of matters of the heart and we should never have to put someone in that position intentionally. I guess I didn’t really come to as many conclusions as i thought initially, but with all the game in my head, you start looking at things differently.
Hope to get some traffic on this one, Game on guys!

haha,

Watched the movie to. When I was still an AFC. When reading PU material I thought: "damn, gotta watch that movie again".

BTW a wing of mine is getting quite skillfull right now in PU, but he keeps saying he beliefs in a "Walt Disney" ending of his life. Also in the Game, style gets to say: "we have something called one-itis...etc." to his one-ites in the latter stages of the book.

I no longer have these lofty beliefs:

When I was still an AFC I had a 5 year relationship, the only real thin I had. We got to know each other when I was 19 and she 21. We broke up 5 years later. We both had great careers, a house, a car and lived together for three years. We were thinking about kids and thats when i woke up. I realized we were no team. Took me 5 years to realize that. With PU knowledge I can make this assesment within minutes. What I'm trying to say is, is that we are always trying to bullshit ourselves. As an AFC and as an PU.

Right now, I don't now if i'm still believing in the Walt Disney ending, wich makes me sad sometimes. At the other hand, PU has given me lots of adventure an a much more realistic look to life, so I'm gonna stick with that for a while. I guess I'm hoping that one day a HB will try to talk me back into the Walt Disney thing without scaring me off... We'll see.

thanx for the post man. It good to do some sparring like this from time to time. Little reality check ye know...

Bucc.

Yeah thats a great way to look at it, I really think the whole PUA thing is really just a fear of commiting to one girl. It is just in our nature to want the best that the world has to offer and settling down means closing out those other options. I never thought that the story book ending was possible, but l8ly i have been craving a steady realtionship, not sure what it is, but i feel like i want some meaning to the sex and the partying and what not.
