All his words sound very good (I only read Models).
I learned to distrust nice sounding words.
Why is Models so bad?
There's a big split in the community about this book.
People on 'seddit' for example seem to consider it up there with Homers Iliad in terms of brilliant literature!! It's often said to be the only book on 'game' that you will ever need. (which is funny because there's VERY little in there about 'game' in the traditional sense of 'saying the right thing' etc)
On the other side, it has lots of people who consider it to be nothing more than a mixture of common sense (get a good life with hobbies and earn good money and the girls might then be interested) and with any 'game' component in the book being simply about 'screening'. (Approach her. Tell her she's cute. If she's not interested move on. Nothing you say will change her mind)
So it kind of comes back to the whole point of this thread in a way; Basically, one camp believe game to be mainly 'screening' (finding girls who are into you and not messing it up by having decent social skills/game) and the other camp believes game is about 'converting' girls (you can MAKE any girl wanna bang you no matter how ugly and old you are)
I used to dislike models because I wanted to believe that 'game' was the jedi mind trick that lots of writers would have us believe, but the more i've gone out and made approaches over the years, the more I tend to side a little more with M Manson, to be honest. I think that there's a huge number of girls who won't be into you, and no matter what amazing negs and cold reads and lines and 'manipulation' you use, it ain't gonna cut any ice. She still won't wanna bang you.
It could be that there's secret techniques out there that can achieve this that i'm yet to discover (although i'm pretty sure i've read a huge percentage of PUA books fro cover to cover) so i'll have to see! Waiting for 'darknessPUA's' post about 'manipulation' as he seems to very much believe you can somehow manipulate girls into wanting to bang you no matter your looks etc. It's a nice idea, but I just don't think it's reality. I don't even think there exists a single infield out of thousands from supposedly the best PUA's in the world who can 'turn/convert' a girl who was very hostile towards them and maybe just ignored them and started to walk away (which is the reaction lots of us will have when trying to game some stunning teen in a bar). I do love the idea that I can say some secret lines and 'manipulate' her into wanting to bang me, but...ya know....
