I've been reading the pick-up-artist forums for 3 years now, and the main issues that i saw from both the beginning and now are inner-game. A friend introduced me to a 4 season series called Spartacus and hell, i have to admit, it has helped me strenghten up my inner-game by a lot. Basically, it's about a roman called Spartacus, a Thracien who makes an alliance with Rome to fight against a tribe that attacks their village. Rome screws Spartacus over and Spartacus gets him back. With a cost, he is stripped from his wife and sold as a gladiator to a gladiatorschool where he undergoes the toughest training and most harsh enviroment. The rest is up to you. Despite it being a series, it is still based on the legend of Spartacus himself, ofcourse not all the details that are included.

The reason why these series have helped me is because of the personalities that these men reflect. Every single one of them went through gigantic losses but passion keeps them driven. Same as getting rejected from the field, but still carrying one for a greater cause in our life.. Improving it. These men become the definition of alpha and from trembling fear, they are forged into men that dont fear loss. All by working hard, practice and failure. At the end, they dont fear death, they embrace it. Same as we'd embrace rejection, or relationship break-ups.

It's not about the tight masculair bodies, they all started with nothing, just like us. it's about their mindset and the goals they want to archieve, Spartacus is a great serie to show you heads on how far ambition and passion can bring you, both in and outside the fields.

There are a lot more aspects aswell. Dealing with the AMOG, how they talk to women, shit-tests, dialogue (The best part imo) ... When you've read some PUA books, and watch these series, you'll often say - Fuck man, that was fucking godlike!

Anyway, i highly recommend these series, they WILL teach you a lot.

Awesome quote i run by - A man must accept his faith, or be destroyed by it.

Trailer - will get you warmed up.

Things I learnt so far:

1) Wording & a powerful way of bringing your message.
2) Definition of alpha.
3) You have 2 ways of living, you either end up chasing someone's dream, or end up chasing yours. The choice is for you to decide.
4) Being the AMOG without being an arse to your surroundings.
5) Live for yourself, not for others. Society has us bound, parents want us secured, we follow other rules, not ours. Take a turn, and start your own wishes and desires.
6) Passion, how to reflect it, what it does with a person.
7) Beliefs/opinions & the importance.
How to deal with rejections and become stronger.
9) How to deal with shit-tests.
10) Does a body or a face really decide for those HB10's to fuck with us or not? No, it's what's inside your head that does.

There's probably a lot more.

Whatever works for you, but there are many shows that have similar themes. I bet many have seen the show, but I wouldn't suggest it as a learning mechanism. Yeah, it's a good show, although it's too bad it doesn't fully match up with history.

The show does somewhat of a good job of using language, but this is why the show is more unrealistic. It takes away pleasure from realism, but nonetheless, people on it can say some good things. I would suggest to read The Prince, A Book of Five Rings, On War, Mastering the Art of War, The Art of War and Battle Studies. It will give you similar language and teach you to apply the concepts to everyday situations. You can't flip something made for full entertainment purpose into a teaching method. Even if you can, I would suggest watching Californication instead. Twice.

This list is complete bullshit if you don't go into explaining each of those points.
1. I can give you much better methods of learning language and powerful delivery.
2. What is the definition of alpha and why would you want to be "alpha"?
3. I know what you mean, but how does the show teach this?
4. How does the show teach this? What are some examples?
5. How can you see this theme in the show? Because Spartacus wants to be free? Most of the other characters want fame on the arena, which is living for others.
6. Where is this in the show?
7. Generalized and vague comment that you might as well delete.
8. How? Where? When?
9. ?
10. What's inside the head? Considering the gladiators were uneducated, the politicians sleazy and manipulative, I don't see this. The women clearly didn't want to have sex with the Romans who had a good head on their shoulders, but instead were attracted to the animalistic and strong gladiators. The physical appearance of muscular men added to the animalistic desire. The theme with this was more of breaking free from society, though.

If you can show me where you saw these, that'd be chill. Otherwise, I can also make a super vague list of themes that are in every other series.

18 Body Language Mistakes I Bet You're Making

Make a vague list, if it helps, it helps. If you're denying the fact that all of this is learning throughout the series, skip it and find another thread. I'm here to share my experiences and what has helped me. We all share stories, yet we all face it differently.

Because you're modeling off of poorly written characters. Spartacus isn't meant to have deep characters. When DeKnight wrote the series he put more emphasis on making an entertaining show with simple themes for lay people. You don't see many intricate emotions in the series, except for Gannicus in the last season; even then, his character had some new sides, but most of it was still basic. Knowing DeKnight and Fletcher, no, personalities weren't random. Were they meant to inspire you to be a present-day warrior? Maybe. Were they meant to put intricate psychology into your brain? No.
This is when I realized you're talking out of your ass. If you think a group of slaves can spit out intelligent and educated thoughts, you're a lost child. A slave wouldn't have the knowledge to be a great tactician- something that officers were taught back in the day. You can't expect a slave to whip out eloquent language. The famous gladiators weren't treated as everyone else. The "art of pick-up" isn't about learning how we instinctively work, that's what cognitive psychology is for. The show won't show you anything different than Game of Thrones, Vikings, or Rome. All of the shows I just mentioned have much more psychology, philosophy, and character development than Spartacus. I'm not trying to hate on it, that's just the way the script was written. If you need an explanation for what men and women are made for, and what their biological needs are, you need to stop watching TV and go to school. At least turn it off and grab a book to read.


I appreciate your explanations, and I understand where you're coming from, but it seems like you're a person who watches a bunch of entertainment and just now had an epiphany that there were basic themes involved in it. I had one of these when I was in 6th grade and also wanted to tell people about it. I don't blame you, don't get me wrong. I understand where you're coming from.
I told you, to each his own. I commented by saying that there are better ways to learn about seduction than watching a television show with simple themes in it. I agree that you can learn from watching television, but there are better shows that can show you how to be a man.
