I don’t know if you ever have heard about the concept of PUAs, also known as pick up artists. This was a fairly hidden community until Niel Strauss, a.k.a. known as Style in the community, wrote the book the game a couple of years ago.
Anyway, I’ve been intreagued about the whole concept for quite a while, does it really work, do people actually act that way? Can you actually map people so easely? Girls act that way and men that way, and if you act this way then you’ll be more successfull with women.
The biggest group out there at the moment that I know of is the ones following the Mystery Method, read it and say what you think.
Anyway, the reason why I’m talking about this is because a couple of month ago I met this dude in class that said that he was one of the best PUAs in Sweden. At that I said that I wanted him to teach me, and so now a couple of month later we actually hit it off, and had a bootcamp for a weekend. I don’t know if it’s the right word, but unfortuneatly for the camp, I’ve met this great gal, so I didn’t really see the point of having the camp. But what the heck, it could be fun just to see what it was all about, and we had booked the weekend a while back.
So we started on Wednesday and had a couple of hours lectures on how to act, and then we hit the club. Drinking modestly, because a PUA doesn’t get drunk. I started off opening some sets, and just getting the basics. Along the way he kept noting stuff done that I did, so we could talk about it the day after. Nothing that exiting happened, that day and I can tell you I was still quite sceptic towards the whole idea.
Day two we had some more lecturing, but mostly we talked about the day before and made up a new opener for me. (Here is a opener to make you get the feel of what it is: opener, written by Style)
After that a friend of my tutor came and we went to the bar together, and today we did a bit more of sarging (which is a nickname for the actuall act of picking up). Opening some sets and just having fun talking to people. And that’s when I realized that what I was doing actually was really fun, and not with the goal to fuck, but to meet new people! I was walking around in the bar, talking to people I’ve never talked to before and just having a blast.
Anyway, that was a short story about what happened during my first bootcamp, we are going to have more. And if I feel like it I will write about them here too!
Over and out.
