/lit/ - Literature

Well, with seduction, there's the whole PUA-sphere. We get posts here asking about Strauss' The Game about every other day. There's also The Mystery Method (by the faggot in pic--a foundational work in this "field") and a few blogs of note (Roissy's blog gets mentioned a lot--think it's called heartiste now or something).

Hey, OP's basically asking for PUA literature. Don't act surprised when the gay starts issuing forth.

Anyway, The Mystery Method is usually cited as foundational in the "field" (cough), but be aware that the flaming homosexual on the left is the author, and that things have developed quite a way since his time.

It can help, but probably won't.
The whole PUA scene is a convoluted mess of information that can help, but probably won't.

Here's the thing...
You read a book chalk full of info about how to get pussy, but what of it?
It's the equivalent of reading a bunch of psychology manuals and assuming you understand people.
Or the equivalent of watching a shit ton of Football all the time and thinking you're a good player.

I'm writing from the position of a guy who got deep shit into PUA material and made no real progress as a result whatsoever.

There's actually an essay written by a newer pick-up instructor that touches on all this.
Basically the guy writes about how when he teaches a boot camp for a weekend he will almost always get at least one nerdy guy who knows even more game theory than himself, but when it comes time to actually go pick up a girl the nerd always fucks it up and makes even more rookie mistakes than the regular guys who don't know any theory.

The lesson here:
Stop reading dumb shit about picking up chicks and instead go outside and start meeting actual women.
First learn through experience. Talk to real women before reading about them.
After failing a couple dozen times and learning some things on your own, then you can read pickup theory to help you weed through the bullshit.
