POOO-AH Superhuman Powers

I still run bootcamps.

Every two weeks, twenty-five a year.

Sure, it stalls the more important work I should be doing on RSD as a company.

But I love it. It's my roots. I'll never stop.

Now I want to address an issue that's important here -- the idea of "super secret PUA super powers", as they relate to my hobby of teaching.

Back in the day when I'd teach a bootcamp, most of it was spent focusing on "how to become good with women".

Maybe there was some other focus at various points, which was fine, but most of it was spent focusing on the main goal -- building a level of skill and choice with women.

These days running a bootcamp, at least more often than not, I'm met with a flurry of distracting questions......

-"Who is the world's best POOOAH?"

-"Is it really true that a POOOOAH can pull 100% of every girl he approaches and turn her into his girlfriend?"

-"What's your most SECRET routine? Cummon, I won't tell anybody. I know you've got a SUPER POWER TRICK that you aren't showing me."

-"I heard that there's 300 sequences of routines from open to sex and that if I can learn to calibrate and master all of them I'll never have to get rejected ever again."

-"What's the deal with The Game? Did you really create a super conspiracy to destroy Style and Mystery to take over Project Hollywood all for yourself?"

(the answer to that one is YES btw -- and I'm taking over the whole planet in 2012)

etc etc...

Here's the deal.

This might shatter a few people's realities.

Get ready for it......

There are no "super PUA techniques" and you can pretty much tell how skilled a PUA is within a minute or two of hanging out with him.

Now I want to get specific here.

The basic concept that allowed the delusion of the PUA community to thrive back in the day was the whole NLP idea that you could have a guy who was blatantly ill at ease with himself, introverted, uncalibrated, and obviously had no ability to attract women into his life, and he could say that he'd mastered some "backdoor method" or "blammo pattern" or whatever else, and make people believe that he had some special skill.

You had all these guys standing up in front of audiences saying that they were pulling 5 women a week by using their latest "synesthesia bomb of seduction" or whatever else -- and it was BELIEVABLE because the whole idea of NLP and hypnosis seemed so "out there" that people suspended their disbelief.

These days it's evolved -- you have the idea that a guy might know a bunch of openers or scripts to get girls that a guy like himself would otherwise obviously not be able to get.

That's the internet for you....

More and more though, we're starting to see a spark in the community...

A movement towards the idea that it's OBVIOUS who is getting girls from the first few minutes you hang out with them.

Of course, it isn't totally as simple as that.

There are plenty of guys who have core confidence but just never learned that it was "allowed" to approach girls cold and have it go somewhere on the first meet.

So obviously a guy who seems like he gets girls might not necessarily be a POOO-AH Super God just because he comes across fairly smooth.

But overall, he probably COULD be if he just had a few days of training, and if he's a "POOAH GURU" then it's OBVIOUS what skill level he has just by looking at him.

POOO-AH showdown at high noon unnecessary.

Generally speaking -- ATTRACTION = COOL GUY + BASIC COMPETENCIES (open, hook, escalate, extract, etc...)

That's it!

This understanding is crucial.

Again, this understanding is absolutely crucial.

If you can't recognize things like "being in the moment" and "presence" and "self esteem" and "natural humour and positivity", then chances are, your reticular-activation-system is wired to ignore all that stuff and seek out superficial super-techniques that are really only the "ice on the cake".

So again, if you don't "get" this concept that "you can pretty much judge a PUA within a few minutes of hanging out with him" then you're probably not on the right track in terms of your POO-AH development.

You'll be thinking "I don't have to be a cool guy or learn how to have positive interactions with people -- I can skip all that and just learn these freaky super powers."

You won't be able to see the GAP between yourself and what a guy who's successful looks like.

You'll see a "PUA" and think "There's no difference between him and me... It must be his lines" -- even though there's a world of difference (all very subtle -- a PUA does NOT have to be a big brawny dude) and your mind just isn't wired to tune into it.

Now does all this mean that if a PUA company advertises a SUPER POWERED TECHNIQUE that you should be suspicious of them?

No.

Marketing is marketing.

As a company, you HAVE to market yourself properly and get as many people in the door as you can.

Bait them with the chocolate bon-bons, shove the vegetables down their throat once they're in a position where they can't escape.

They'll thank you later.

I also think that some funky techniques as novelty to spice up the program can be cool.

So I'm not bagging on any company or trying to throw venom at anybody.

Anyone who has the balls to put himself on the line and teach this stuff IN FIELD is somebody who has my respect.

What I AM saying though, is that as an END USER, don't be caught up in any marketing hype about "super power techniques" because it will start you on a path where you're not RECOGNIZING what's most important about the whole "game" and thinking that you can be a stealth ninja who plays dungeons & dragons by day, and by night you transform into a SUPER PUA who jumps from the shadows and drags girls back to your nerd lair.

Becoming successful with women is first and foremost about deep identity level change.

Beyond that it's about internalizing important behaviours, such as opening strong, being assertive, funny, spontaneous, and leading the interaction forward.

It's a straightforward process, obviously with a lot of curves involved, but as long as you can make it through those you don't have to align with a particular "method" or "camp" or set of techniques.

That's only benefiting the company. Not you.

And honestly, it doesn't really benefit me because I'm the guy who has to unwire all that nonsense when you come on a live program.

So if you haven't woken up yet, wake up, because as cool as the fanboy stuff is, the whole community is about YOU and YOUR results.
