Blind Spot
Quick Definition: Anything that a PUA does that is harmful to his game that he is not consciously aware of. A.K.A. Scotoma
Full Definition:
Sometimes in the journey to become an mPUA the best advice is also the toughest to hear. This happens when blind spots are exposed, and one is forced to either acknowledge the new information, or go into denial. A blind spot can be dangerous because the PUA is not consciously aware of it. It could be a creepy smile, or a nervous shake of the foot that is very noticeable to others, but not the PUA, or something even more subtle.
It is thus very important to develop a willingness to set one’s ego aside, be open to criticism, and confront one’s blind spots. Having wings and friends who are unafraid to point out one’s blind spots is also very helpful. The key thing to remember is that on the path to mastery, it is important to keep a beginner’s mindset and always be open to learning new lessons.
Usage:
Pecking was a total blind spot of mine until a wing pointed it out to me.
