I think good advice too, about being yourself, and non-contrived. In fact, I'd say PUA is about developing yourself as a person so that you can be just your natural uncontrived self around women (strong, centred, natural, powerful), rather than just flumixing along, and so impressed by the woman that you emotionally crumble, legs turn to jelly etc. To me, the end result of PUA and PD, is to be completely natural, uncontrived and spontaneous with all people in all kinds of situations. So when I see a hot chick, I can treat her with the same common courtesy, I would a down and out on the street, or a member of royalty, to treat all people with the same dignity and respect and not give special privages to a hot chick, just because my body wants to bone hers. I also recommend to guys, not to classify yourself as a 'PUA guy' or a 'PD guy', why put yourself in a little box like that, we're all just people. We're all unmanifest consciousness manifesting in a multitude of forms (male, female, guys who like to call themselves PUA, guys who like to call themselves PD chap). |

The essence of PUA is to establish your mind in a different frame. Instead of fixating on soulmates and one true loves, you fixate on practice and technique. Eventually, you no longer need to think about it, like a child one day no longer needs to figure out how to balance themselves while walking. And at that point, you've overridden your fears and you have become a different self: a self that, naturally, is confident and attractive. And maybe you'll meet your one true love, someday. And when you do, you'll be confident, attractive, and head-over-heels, to boot. But that's better than just being head-over-heels.

| Michael Well, my one true love, is life herself. All other (human) relationships are I think, temporary, they have a start, and they have an end. The same consciousness manifesting in a mutitude of forms; you could say, relationship is incest on a cosmic scale.. Gosh, there's a thought! |

| Yet another reason not to believe in true love in some distant, random woman. And what's wrong with incest?

| Here's another thought. It's stupid though. If that's the case, then everyone on our planet is our one true love, and we can just go up to them and start making love to them and we'd feel the same way, because we're all connected. I wonder if my mother was my girlfriend then wife in a previous life...

| What's so stupid about that? I mean, it's pithy, reductive, and utopian, but not stupid. I forgot to mention: if Jamie is correct, it's not incest. It's masturbation on a cosmic scale. Now I advise you guys to read some creation myths, some of which like to talk about how so-and-so got horny and ejaculated, creating the world... I think that one is Egyptian.

If you take the perspective that we're all connected to the oneness of life, or we are expressions of that oneness, then it is just a play, energy diving in to itself, constantly creating new subtle forms, like big blog of dough being needed in to a loaf of bread. God, there's no wonder I can't get a GF, way too philosophical! |
