Ok, I gotta run to an a photo shoot so I gotta make this quick...

The darkside of pickup is that it can make you a robotic, insecure, validation seeking, value seeking, rude, tragically unhappy person.

I know because it happened to me while I was sleeping with over 50 girls a year and making money teaching workshops across the globe. A dream scenario for many of you reading this...

However internally I was a by product of the mystery method's unintended side effects, namely becoming outcome dependent, in constant need of female validation and unable to socialize outside of cold approaches.

A lot of this came from the fact that I got involved in the community at 19.

Because of that I never got a normal chance to develop socially. Trust me you NEED this adjustment period. Almost all of the guys who have really bad breakdowns got into it too young. Before they were mature enough to handle it.

This is why I try to steer guys away from this stuff until they're over 25.

Being a virgin at 16 isn't weird...

There's a ton of other things you can do to meet girls and get a girlfriend that are better than pickup at 16. Seriously, before you get to hardcore into pickup, join organizations, make a good group of male and female friends, take up a musical instrument or start throwing parties, and see if you still have these problems.
