Getting laid is only the tip of the iceberg. Learning the game is about so much more. I think for the majority of men, its about becoming a more complete person by learning to express yourself honestly without all the crazy insecure psychological bullshit we accidentally get stuck in our heads. Its about being happy and making connections with other people (girls AND guys), enjoying life, and enhancing it for other people.
Sure, some of the guys who couldn't get girls and have since learned how are selfish and manipulative. Its validating to have girls want you. Its addictive. It feels good.
But ideally, "pickup" is for guys who love girls but don't know how to express it. I love girls. I love the way the smell, I love the sound of their laughs, I love the feel of their touch. I love the look on a girl's face after we spend a Saturday afternoon flying a kite in a grassy field, then once it gets dark enjoying strawberries and whipped cream in the park on a blanket by candlelight. That look that says I made her feel beautiful and alive, that she'll go home and fall asleep smiling.
The game is for guys who love to make every muscle in her body spasm with pleasure. Its for guys who want to be ready when they finally find the girl whose aura is radiating with life and glowing with femininity.
Its for guys who will go out of their way to make an unattractive girl feel appreciated even though she lives in a shallow culture where youth and good genes are more important than personality and character.
You think pickup is about manipulating, deceiving, and getting what you want. Go flirt with a 55 year old woman who works at Dillards. Hold the door and smile at a fat single mom. Make a person who looks like they're having a shitty day laugh. Then go pick up an drunk insecure 22 year old at a bar just because you're horny and you want to prove something to yourself and your friends, and the next morning when you're depressed despite the above average sex you had with a girl whose name was Christy or HBTattoo or something that started with a J (if your memory serves you correctly), decide what you want pickup to be about.
Much love,
