Is 18 too young to learn pua?

I sense that most guys in this forum are in their mid 20's to 30's. New here, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Most of the stuff said here sounds good. But is it just my lack of experience, that I think it sounds unbelievable?

Yup, alot of the member here wished they learned this stuff earlier.
Plus high school and college/university are some of the easiest places to practice.

It should be taught at age 14-15. And it should be part of school curriculum - both Red Pill awareness (rational male) as well as Game/art of seduction.

You are 3-4 years late from an ideal point of view, but of course compared to most men in the world in an enviable situation.

I was browsing TRP and reading since age 15.... I have to admit that I'm alot more aware of girl's manipulation in comparison to my peers.

Hell no dude, I'm 18, started reading this forum at 17, was introduced to game at 14. I have learnt so much in one year, just go for it, my advice is have at least one friend your age you can do pua with and challenge each other.

You've got an advantage compared to your peers.

USE THIS KNOWLEDGE TO GET AHEAD AND BETTER YOURSELF.

You literally have hit the jackpot when it comes to game, self help, dealing with women, and furthering yourself in life.

Like others said, guys would kill to know what we know now at your age.

Nope, no way too early. Welcome.

Take the game industry with a pinch of salt. It is bloated with marketing hype, outright lies, and other BS. A lot of it is Chad salesmen making bucks off of desperate Virgins who, deep down, wish that they can study their way into a woman's panties without having to go through the mess of socialising with hundreds of them. Men and women were hooking up for millennia before the game industry came along with "one weird conversation trick that makes any trout want you - virgins hate him!". It's not that complicated.

That's why Roosh is trustworthy, he doesn't sugar coat anything or blow smoke up your arse about being a master PUA with a 100% success record (that's Mystery's BS definition of a master PUA from years ago, LOL, even handsome celebrities at the height of their fame get rejected. But hey, marketing is marketing, and a man's gotta eat.)

Don't waste your money on any products or bootcamps, unless you have rich parents who spoil you, in which case sure, take a bootcamp. Roosh's books are superb value, so by all means get Bang and Day Bang, but to be honest, there's enough free info online to make it unnecessary.

1 hour of flirting with women IRL = 217 hours of book/video study in terms of improving your game.
In fact, a lot of kids spend so much time reading game articles and watching videos that it turns them into autistic weirdos who can't have a simple conversation without going up in their head and thinking about a hundred stupid game concepts. Most of attraction isn't what you say anyway, it's how you carry yourself and move through the world. I have kissed attractive trout without talking to them, or only exchanging a basic pleasantry like "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm a Bunyip from PondScum". It was all in the eyes. All in the eyes.....

You are 18, that's still not quite an adult in terms of brain development. You haven't achieved anything in the adult world, so puffing yourself up and trying to be all alpha will look silly, don't make that mistake. That said, having an almost delusional level of self confidence is 82.9% of the battle. When I was your age, I used to wake up every morning and, in my incredible tenor singing voice, sing out to the world "WHYYYY AM I SO BEAUUUUUTIFUL? WHYYYYY AM I SO GREAAAAAAT?". I didn't even know what game was until I was 25, and I was quite spotty until I was 21, but my absurd self confidence was infectious.
This is the general idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9zOScT2cd0

The most important thing, IMO: women cannot ever be the most important thing in your life. You must have missions that aren't about getting laid, or being all cuddly with your cherished number one trout, and those missions come first. You're young now, so your income and career don't really matter to other young girls, but that will change as your twenties roll on. Stay ahead of the game, and put your interests first. For example, if you are dedicated to Jiu Jitsu more than banging girls, that will pay off big time. It's great for your physique, physical confidence around other men who are checking out your trouts, and it will make your game tighter. A hot date flakes? Cool, off to the dojo or gym then. A trout wants to see you every single evening? Sorry babe, not on Tuesdays or Thursdays, those there are training days: give her the gift of missing you. You get the idea.

Oh, and be sure to bang some older ladies. You're 18, there are (reasonably) attractive women around twice your age who will broaden your horizons, shall we say. One of my first was 32 when I was 15, which technically means that I made her into a paedophile, bless her.

If you are worried about your sexual performance (don't be, btw, girls just wanna have fun, and laying down the perfect pipe is only one part of that. One night, I was too wasted to get a boner on a first shag, so we danced around the kitchen to balkan party music, had a mostly naked jam fight, then showered together and pissed on each other while we cried with laughter. I can't remember why that was so funny, but it was. She was addicted to me after that. And cleaned the kitchen in the morning. Top trout.), learn from the master PUAs themselves:

Now get off the computer and go tickle some trout!

Obviously there's nothing wrong with chasing ass when you're 18, but at that age you gotta be investing a good chunk of your free time in terms of long-term self-improvement/independence, whether via college/trade/military/etc.
Having some responsibility brings the world into starker focus and probably makes you a better judge of it.

Exactamundo. It's women who have to make the most of their hot as hell youth in the sexual marketplace. We men have time to make something of ourselves, and that's really what makes us so great.

I am in my early 30's and discovered game around 4 years ago.

Discovering it is something different than applying it though; this process takes years. It did for me and it still does. The fact that it took me 4 years to finally register on this forum and stop lurking says enough. I'm finally starting to get it and I'm finally applying instead of reading.

Some time ago, I managed to pull my first 19 year old and then, shortly after that, an 18 year old. And I'll be damned, it was like discovering the garden of eden all over again. There truly is nothing in this world that comes close to penetrating young, fresh pussy.

It was a feeling I had long forgotten. It was a feeling I had last experienced when I was around that age myself, when I had no clue what game was and would get laid once every blue moon because of pure luck.

How I wish I discovered this stuff when I was 18. How I wish I had this knowledge in my early 20's. All those wasted opportunities to bang hot girls around my age. If I had a time machine, I could probably go back and point out every time young Winston Wolfe has had pussy on a silver platter but was oblivious to it.

At this age, my man, you have come across a goldmine. Keep learning, reading and applying. It won't be easy and you will have setbacks. Remember that most lessons can only be learned by experience.

You have the opportunity to start early and shape your life as a man. You just have to be open to it. Once you start, there's no going back.

It's never too early to lead an examined life.

But I warn you to be careful, weary of who's advice you follow, as some people in this corner of the web are here just to sell. Other's will just sell you a different flavor of delusion that will hurt you when it matters most rather than cheat you out of any first dates. Here's a good place to start, in my opinion, if you're not sure on how to sort through who's who.

You have been reading since age 15 (just like I did) so I guess it's already too late.

But no, you should not learn game when you are 18.

There are several reasons. One is that your personality stabilises at around 20-22. You should learn how to socialize before that time, hell, you should have learned that when you were four.

But game are tactics specifically designed to put a woman in a place where she is more likely to do what you want. Learning how to talk someone or to approach someone, aka socializing, won't do your development any harm. Learning the more effective strategies will.

But you are 18, horny as hell and probably don't give a fuck. Let me give you another reason.

From 16 to 25, you have crazy amounts of energy. The first impulse is to blast all that energy inside a girl several times a day and spend the rest of the time doing nothing in particular.

If you have any other passion besides girls, any other passion at all, your energy is best spend developing skills in that passion.

Or if you want to become rich, it is best to start right now and put all that energy into making money.

You need meaning in your life to be happy. Pursuing a goal that's worthwile can provide meaning. Women can not provide that meaning.

You can enjoy their soft vaginas and their pleasant company. But it's enjoyment. Not meaning.

You can be happy without the thrill of pussy but you cannot be happy without meaning. Look at the many posts from people who live in their parents basement at 28 and don't know what to do with themselves. Their problem is not a lack of pussy, it's a lack of meaningful direction.

If you have some other passion besides reading about pickup, anything at all, pursue that. Pour everything you have into that.

Learn how to socialize, but view it like a homework assignment. If you can find someone to copy it from you have an advantage (someone in real life that is) and don't spend more time then necessary. Imitate popular kids, befriend them and learn from them. Not with the specific goal of getting laid, but just to learn how to socialize and how to function in a group.

You can put so much more energy in your meaningful goals between age 16-25 that wasting a minute on something that is not meaningful should be considered a crime against your future self.

--

Also, just to discourage you a bit more:
- The older you get the easier it becomes. You become more confident, have more status, have more life experience and hence are wayyy more attractive. At 18, you have a huge disadvantage in game.
- Reading about game is useless, as mentioned above. You won't learn it that way. In Europe, the overwhelming majority of pick-up dudes outright suck unless they have been coached by someone who is very good. The only ones who learned by themselves were properly socialized and fucked up in the head. Maybe this is different in the US since the girls have reached a new level of sluttiness there but in europe, it's brutal.
- Your passion will retain its meaning, just as striving for a goal.
Fucking isn't that special once you have done it with more then 50 girls. With good coaching you can do this in 3 months. You could also skip it, work a summer job and spend that cash on a month bang trip to the Phils. I would advice against it but if you have to, it's better to waste as little time as possible on an endeavour that is essentially meaningless and hedonistic in nature. Again: your passion or aiming for a goal will retain its meaning, pussy will become less interesting over time.

-First thing to do is go to an RSD bootcamp.

-Second thing is to buy a black leather jacket.

-Then stand on a corner in Eastern Europe and stop every girl who passes by, especially the ones who look like they are definitely headed somewhere with a purpose and would naturally have zero interest in being stopped, those are the best targets. Forget trying to speak to girls who are stationary and forget trying to meet girls who are sharing a common interest or activity.

-Profit?

But seriously OP, yes by all means dive in. You will find that having confidence gets you 90% of the way with girls... and you gain confidence by taking action.

< No idea where these anti-Game schools of thought are coming in.

Most men are indoctrinated to be Beta shmucks. Not teaching Game will only indoctrinate them more into the prevalent fem-centric, faminist, cultural marxist Blue Pill training school. It's not as if nothing is put in it's place. That is an absolute idiocy to say that you best not learn anything, because you become older and more self-confident naturally. Fucking A - cannot even believe what is being said here in utter lunacy.

Never met a shit-for-brains Blue Pill self-made millionaire? Self-confident, successful, but already divorced 3 times and divorce-raped to the bone, crying to his sleep and paying hookers.

Imitate popular kids, immerse yourself into the cultural marxism - and everything shall be great!

Game denial is not a good strategy here. Also Game is not "putting women into it's place". What kind of feminist bullshit is that?

Of course is Game not the main focus of your life and it should not be. But at that age a little Game and Red Pill awareness goes a long way. Building a career and a social life is more important, but becoming Game - and Red Pill aware spares you one hell of pain in the future.

If you're referring to me, it was a joke mate. Surely you can appreciate the high level of garbage info/tactics that many young men get sucked into these days. Hopefully OP stays away from that. All one would need to get started is right here on the forum or in a select few books like Roosh's.

I stand by the comment that it is about 90% confidence when it comes to getting girls.

I discovered PUA stuff almost 14 years ago (DYD.. for the old guys in here who know what that stands for), didn't try implementing it until I was about 19, didn't really start getting laid until I was 23 (let that sink in... it took me 9 years to really start getting laid), didn't start getting a bunch of notches until I was around 27, now I'm 30. Really the best way to get laid is to make a lot of friends, make money and travel. Make money and move to Asia, that's the easiest way to get laid a lot.

I wouldn't recommend getting too deep into pickup if you're young. The important things to know is that you usually have to approach, know when to pull the trigger and escalate (go for the kiss and take her home), and basic stuff like if a girl is acting stupid. Most of this will come from experience.. something you can only learn by meeting thousands of women. IMO it's better to focus on making money and getting in shape than to become a PUA. Inner game comes from knowing you can fuck this girl better than 99% of the guys she's ever been with.

Don't start with PUA. In respect to some of the posters above me, laying a foundation for life success is more important than chasing tail.

Learn inner game first. Confidence, outcome independence, positive self talk and relentlessness. These are going to fuel you when you learn the mechanics of your game style of choice.

Think of game as a Benz, and inner game as your engine. The Benz might sound nice, and looks nice from the outside, but it won't be able to take you anywhere without the engine. You see it here all the time. Guys who know the framework of game getting crippling oneitis, or not feeling satisfied in their life despite pulling plenty of tail. Players getting jerked around by their women and suffering from it. That shit isn't fun, trust me. You want to avoid that by mastering inner game first.

Read books like Maximum Achievement, How I Found Freedom in an Unfair World, How to Make Friends and Influence People, and Mastering Yourself. Throw the Art of War/ Meditations in there for good measure. Then focus on getting some life successes under your belt to build from there. Start lifting weights, volunteer, get a good internship/apprenticeship. Travel and become more worldly. Build yourself a social circle you are proud of. If you're happy with where your life is at, getting women will be astronomically easier. There's no point in having tail if the rest of your life sucks.

You should be talking to girls in the background, but I argue that its far better to just roll with successes through social circle game while you focus on building a base for future success. Once you have the fundamentals of life success and inner game mastered, then you can move on to refining your game method of choice, and you will already stick out from your peers because you've focused on the fundamentals first.

Best of luck,
IB

The kid is 18 years old. Let him have some pussy and have some fun. He should bang as many 17 year olds as humanly possible, because that shit DOES NOT LAST FOREVER.

He has all the time in the world to get serious, think about building "foundations" and thinking about investments and all the crap that will be there forever. His very early youth, on the other hand, expires.

All of us who are 30s 40s 50s love to think "oh if I could be 18 again I would get involved in this business or that opportunity and focus on that first". Yeah well that is because your testosterone is 350 and your brain is fully developed. There are different priorities in different stages of life for a reason.

Let the kid be in the tagging ass and taking names stage. Whether or not he should short Anacott Steel can come at a later time.

I don't mean that one should neglect education, business and a career. Your teens and 20s are a great time to focus on that. But learning Game and doing a couple of approaches per week plus reading a few articles while being aware of the Red Pill dynamics does not cost that much time.

Most high-achieving students are fantastic if they focus 40 hours per week on studies and business in their early 20s - you will be the top of the heap since most students work far less than that.

In contrast countless weeks and months are spent by men trying to get laid via the friend-zone, via being friendly, via going out to clubs and wasting months trying to get laid under bad conditions. And if Blue Pill men end up in relationships, then even more time and energy is wasted.

So I agree with guys saying that the focus in that age should be career and education, but Red Pill and Game is an important part of the overall growth as a man.

The OP is already aware of the red pill and game. He has been since he is 15. I did not mean to encourage him to start denying what he has learned over the last three years.

Imitate the social behaviors of popular kids, not everything else. Immerse yourself in cultural marxism doesn't seem too productive. Keep reading this forum among other sites to keep your head straight.
But if your peer group is leftwing, liberal etc. you have to lie to grow socially. OP might not have a choice when he goes to college. Learning how to navigate the social waters and learning that from popular kids is way more important for OP's development then some principal debate on politics. Turning himself into a black sheep by avoiding his peer group won't do him any favours.
Don't comment on their beliefs, don't take over those beliefs, just stay silent. When pushed, say something vaguely neutral and leave it at that. Don't get baited into anything political, how ridiculous it may sound. Stay focused on your goal: learn social skills.

Yes, his life will be great... if he learns how to get along with people and develop his social skills. He is game-aware and if he's strong he won't take over the ridiculous views of the non-game aware people around him.

I wrote in the initial response: "game are tactics specifically designed to put a woman in a place where she is more likely to do what you want." I do not know why you object to this definition.

My definition of game is that of seduction. Behaviours to increase your value for the society you live in, which OP should do, are not part of this definition. He should work out, learn how to socialise and choose a path that is meaningful and likely to give him a meaningful life and preferably financial success.

Quote:Quote:

Not what I meant. I'm saying there are more important things in life. When you are 18 and you have so much energy, it's best to spend it on something that will benefit you for the rest of your life. When you have found something to apply yourself to, you can then start learning game as a hobby.

Edit: Zel. just saw your second post, I agree.

Update :- After reading alot of replies, I feel as though I haven't provided enough details about myself.

I first discovered seduction community via reddit when i was 14. Before I was a very awkward person. At about 14 I moved school too. I met up with some friends like a month ago, and they saw lots of changes in me - one being that I stutter less and I actually manage to hold eye contact.
Reading alot of the stuff on seduction reddit did improve my self confidence, stuff like stoicism and the fact that no one gives a shit about what you do.
I admit that i had an embarrassing anger/incel phase after reading trp when i discovered trp 6 months later. But I did get out of it. I am admittedly a complete beginner, but I also have a decent amount of background knowledge.

In regards to my education, i am planning to study medicine, but go on a gap year after my A levels so my application is a bit stronger as i will then have my grades. Planning to go Philippines during that gap year - Read alot about Philippines here.

Also thank you guys so much, this community is really nice and alot less toxic than incel communities. I have started lifting too, I still read trp and I am noticing how fucked the media is. It's really biased, being a leftie is socially acceptable whereas being right isn't so much.

Loving this community!
