No Authorities

Epitomy of Evolution wrote an interesting little rant on the General board of mASF.

Are no authorities in the way of seduction.  TD, gunwitch, ijjjji, harmless, etc. are not the final say on getting laid.  One thing if guys on here look to them for some help in the way of getting laid.  Another when guys give themselves up and live the life of another poster here.

Anyone who gets good does it on their own.  I smell a wise ass about to give me an exception.  Fuck off.

They don’t rely on anyone else.  Maybe get some help, but the rest is willpower.  You aren’t getting laid, it’s because you aren’t taking action and doing anything about it. DOn’t go reading up posts if you can’t just get out and try to get laid.  Do it.  You can’t do this, no one else will help you any.

You can’t get out there and try to get laid on your own, all the way, I say fuck you.  Start doing it.  You can’t do this, fuck off and die now becuase if ya can’t take charge of your life, maybe you can at least take charge of your death.

To continue with the Neo-Rio love of the day, here is his response…

One of the main lessons to learn in this game is that, although many people espouse various tricks and techniques and theory… AT THE END OF THE DAY you have to have COMPLETE confidence in what you are doing.

Admittedly, that’s a hard frame for the newbie to understand when he’s got all these guru’s ideas about attraction and seduction floating in his head.

I think there’s a lot of truth in this.  It’s a very Zen Bhuddist outlook where guys who get good at this basically have to "kill their teacher," so to speak, and develop their own take on their style.  Of course, the only real way to do this is by going out in the field and practicing on a regular basis.

Hanging out with Tyler Durden is an interesting experience because he is CONSTANTLY going out in the field and testing new material while refining old ones.  It’s funny, because as much flack as he gets for being an "immitator," Tyler very much does his own thing which is different from those who taught him.  I’m going through something very similar at the moment where I am slowly starting to develop my own style and take on Pick-Up.  It’s a slow, painful process (in more ways than one), but one that is necessary.

And I agree with Neo-Rio where at the end of the day, it all comes down to confidence.  But I’d go even further and say it’s about CONGRUENCE as well.  Not only do you have to be sure in what you’re doing, but you gotta be consistent with it in all aspects of your life.  I mean, you can ACT alpha in a club, but if you aren’t alpha in how you move through life, any girl you end up attracting is gonna see through your shenanigans.
