/lit/ - Literature

I'm a bit surprised by the comments in the other thread, saying that PUA-stuff doesn't work at all. I found the basics from the Mystery Method to work very well: shit tests, being a Beta, an orbiter for a women, Cock and Funny, Push and Pull, dosing Kino, escalating at the right moment or at all, very helpful. (Re-)Framing, increasing comfort, using freeze-outs. It explained a lot of my mistakes to me. My greatest problem was being brave enough to try to kiss a girl.
With their origins in the early 2000s in nightclubs in LA many materials couldn't be transferred to other places or other cultures. Negging is such an example, I never used it. The increased amount of
online dating sites doesn't make PU invalid, it is just not needed anymore since the girls, overflooded with male attention, just need to pick their partner based on looks.
The one obvious problem with pick up is, that none of the pioneers/stars really made it in long-term: Having a beautiful great wife, children and a stable happy family life. There are probably a few, but Mystery, Style, etc. all failed. The people in pick up forums with 10k + posts didn't make it either. Then there is Red Pill stuff like 'The Rational Male' which I haven't read yet, but I am obviously aware of their concepts, you cannot miss them being an 4chan.
Sadly I'm not very religious, I think that it works very well in favour of a good relationship. It doesn't replace the partners being good people and fitting to each other of course.

Just another case of a PUA shilling his books online. However in that case it's funny though, having some girls from SEA as advertisement when you scroll down. Dude if I were in my 50ies I want to bang white college girls. If I wanted SEA prostitutes I would just fly to Manila.

>The man secretly exiting the German town is none other than Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of the greatest writers of all time, and the reason for this moonlit flight is his desire to fulfil a long-awaited voyage of discovery. With the permission of his patron, off he goes on a trip through Italy to see the wonders of antiquity. In an era without television or internet, the great man’s jealousy of those who have experienced the joys of the south has grown to such an extent that he can bear it no longer. It’s his turn – and he’ll tell us all about it in his Italienische Reise (Italian Journey).

>Not knowing how long he’ll be able to extend his trip, he’s determined to make the most of it. He moves swiftly through the north, arriving within weeks for his first extended stay in Rome. After four months in the capital, he then heads down to Naples and across to Sicily, before returning to Rome for a longer sojourn. He eventually gets home almost two years after leaving, a truly life-changing experience:

>”Ob ich gleich noch immer derselbe bin, so mein’ ich, bis aufs innerste Knochenmark verändert zu sein.”

>”Am I really still the same person, I feel I’ve been changed down to the very marrow.”

>Now, that’s some sabbatical…

Is this sort of /lit/ travel impossible in the age of social media, Anthony Bourdain, globohomo, mass-mid-market tourism and a growing Chinese middle class?
