UK based PUA Loverboy has a pretty good post up in the Advanced Boards of mASF. It kind-of runs the gammut of pick-up ideas and is pretty well written. Good overview of skillsets for any newbies out there who are just getting into this stuff.
Guaging the Dominant Girl
May 31, 2004 by Thundercat
Filed under Tips & Tricks
You know, in every group of people, there’s an inherent social hierarchy that exists. In every group of women, there’s always a leader, a “dominant girl” who pretty much controls the thoughts and action of all the other girls she’s with. You’ve seen it before, so have I. Now, Tyler Durden comments on this phenomenon.
Merging a loose set

In one of Tyler’s rare, short articles, he shares with us a really great tactic for keeping a tenuous set together, despite all odds.
Tyler Durden writes:
Something that I always do is remerge a loose set. I go in and hook IOIs from the girl that I opened immediately. The second that I see that the IOIs are there and that she’ll do whatever I ask, I will use an opinion opener and say that I want a full panel female opinion and to call her friend over. This way I can remove the other girl from whatever guy she is attached to, and if the girl doesn’t want to leave the guy then I will say over and over “Yell at her to come over. Tell her too, I really want to ask her this.” I do this when I pull 2sets with PlayboyLA quite often if its afterhours on the street. I will see the IOIs from a girl, and start walking with her and tell her over and over to yell at her friend to come too. I’ll also say “Tell her I’m nice, and to listen to this story”, or anything like that, in order to unlock the friend. If she says it enough times, particularly if she’s the dominant friend, it will work well. PlayboyLA does the same for me if he hooks IOIs with his girl before I hook them with mine.I prefer this because it gets my wing a girl as well, and also because if left loose, the girl can become a potential problem if she grows bored of the guy that she is with (often the case with AFC naturals), and then just drag her friend off out of jealousy that she is having fun with me. I may well re-isolate right after, but now the obstacle has met me and won’t unpredictably make an issue for me in most cases.
This is good stuff. I think a lot of people don’t quite understand the importance of having solid group theory while sarging. I mean, being able to merge different sets and play them off of each other is a real advanced (yet vital) skill to have if you want to get REALLY good at pick-up. In my opinion, no one is able to teach this skill better than Mystery (www.mysterymethod.com). So if anyone wants to get this skillset down, I’d recommend checking out a seminar.

Be Hardcore, the best of MrSex4UNYC

Filed under Tips & Tricks
Someone posted a rather LONG (but exceptionally good) post on mASF containing all sorts of great quotes from the MrSex4UNYC archive. MrSex4UNYC is one of the all time old schoolers. His archive is fantastic, and since he doesn’t post anymore, that’s the only thing we got to rely on from information from him. So when someone takes the time to comb that archive and find the things worth sharing, it’s worth checking out.

One-Itis

Filed under Tips & Tricks
We’ve all been there and done it before. The dreaded “One-Itis,” otherwise known as the ailment of liking that “One Special Girl” and wanting her more than any other woman on earth. A want so intense, that it’s actually painful.
This is probably the single leading recruiter of men to the PUA community across the world.
Well, Tyler Durden has decided to tackle the subject of the vile & dreaded “One-Itis” in a recent post of his on the Advanced board of mASF. It’s rather long, but it’s a good article. For all you guys out there suffering from the “one woman” syndrome, I suggest you check it out.
Making Her Uninvested In You For Sex

Dimitri, everyone’s favorite swashbuckling pick-up artist, has an EXCELLENT post up on the Advanced boards about how if a woman views you as a friend and a legitimate part of her life, that it can be really hard for you to have sex with here, whereas if you’re emotionally unavailable and aloof, she’s going to practically be beating down your door.
On with the brilliance…

Well, I think Harmless has some great stuff to say on the subject, so I’ll just hand it over to him…

Compliment Her Weaker Points

Filed under Tips & Tricks
The people over at Advanced Macking seemed to have put out a newsletter with some actually good info in it. I’m usually not a fan, but lately their newsletters seem to be getting better (if not, at the least, entertaining).
This latest newsletter has to do with the tricky subject of complimenting a woman. For those of you who have my book The Art of Approaching, you know I touch on this subject a bit with my section on “Compliment Openers.” However, this Dominic Cadden guy has a neat little tactic about complimenting women on things they don’t expect to be complimented on in order to throw them off guard and make yourself stand out from the pack of AFCs that seem to populate the world.

It’s not often that I find an article related to dating and seduction that’s written by a woman which is actually good. But every once and a while I find that rare gem who actually seems to GET it. This is an article by a woman names Melissa Balmer who wrote a book called “The Science of Picking-Up Women.” In this article, she touches on a very important topic, which is how persistence can get you L-A-I-D.
