Not exactly what I was implying.

Despite it being intimidating for some women and not others, I think this basic gesture of appreciation of a woman’s beauty has been stolen from man. It may still be expressed in a more covert manner but not with the abandonment, gusto and joy, since a new “blue print” was created for the male and female species. This has all been replaced with caution and restraint.

Loving the one you’re with is all that matters… not what anyone else thinks.

I don’t see the same tattoo on her left foot in the second photo as in the first photo.

Edit:

Took the pictures down; if the schizoids, really, want to, they could find her - not going to give them a boost by allowing them access to pics of her.

Players finish as losers in the end because they live a lie, faking it through life because they’re too afraid to face themselves.

When all is said and done and one is rotting in his grave - a tribute is then to what exactly? Here lies a man who lived a lie?

While I do agree that many of these PUA’s " fake it ", I don’t. I mostly like reading up on this stuff, because of the evolutionary psychology. If you read this thread thoroughly, esp. the introduction, then you would know that I’m against mere superficiality or fakeness, and that I’m all for self-mastery.

King of comedy, innuendo, the drawn on mustachce, and hilariously-flirty PUA tactics… such a joker :slight_smile: Adore the Marx Brothers.

Or you took them down because you got caught with bullshit on your hands sonny.

Har Har Harr

Eric: The dialetic of reason can not possibly cover incencerity. They do not appreciate Your transperency, if i were You, i would not suffer sleeplessness if i were You. The dialectics of reason detract some, yet strangely attract others. It is so apropos, yet so human, all so human.

Just because I’m not " fake ", that doesn’t mean I’m transparent.

In most ‘non fake people’ transparency is a given. Some are aware of the traps, and become weary of the cynicism which may develop on account of the accruing disenchantment.

Do you have an experience with PUA, orb? Have you ever made direct approaches PUA style? If so, I’d be interested in your stories.

This is more relationship advice, as opposed to PUA, but whatever:

Never reveal yourself completely to your partner - not even half of yourself. At the very most, 40 percent should be revealed, but sparingly.
If you reveal yourself completely, then your mate’s attraction for you will dwindle, real fast. A major aspect of what keeps the fire burning in relationships, is your mystique. There is a certain excitement and thrill in the pursuit of pealing away the petals of your mate. Also, make your mate earn access to your mystery, like an ancient hellenistic mystery cult. This will make your mate perceive you as more valuable and will also make her feel more valuable, as your soul is something guarded, something arcane - not freely on display for everyone, not something valueless. Your essence, your soul, should be a labyrinth - a great adventure, that you and your mate embark on together for the rest of your lives, forever discovering and exploring something new, but never reaching finality.

Sound advice.

So… what do you think about Groucho Marx’s PUA method?

I’m not sure how he fared in real life, but it worked a treat in da movies. I’m sure he married many times, and divorced just as many.

He needs to lose that mustachio and trim those damn eye-brows. Ditch the glasses, too.

Needs more satanic smoothness and wolfish swag.

No he doesn’t. Not all women are into sleazebags.
