Female Pick Up Artist (FPUA)

…stand this.

Regarding FPUA’s, the proof is in the pudding. It’d be great to go find women that are 4-7 in looks and consider themselves FPUA’s. If they can pull men/women that the majority of women would consider 9’s and 10’s, then there is something to FPUA’s. An easier way to gather data would be looking at the success rate of Kesia’s female students. Let’s set the bar at 25% for comparison’s sake. If they pass, FPUA tactics might be ef…

Do You Have To Lie To Get Laid?

If you’re like most guys, when you’re interacting with a girl, your main aim is to get her to go out with you, with a view ultimately of sleeping with her. Right?  Right.

How to hypnotize hot girls for Pick Up Artists

Written by Vince Lynch, Master Hypnotist There’s huge misconceptions about hypnosis & NLP in the pick-up world.

I’m not saying I can’t help you – I just don’t think you need help – I believe pickup should be technique driven, about the things you do,…

What Is It Like To Suck With Girls? Well… May 12th, 2004. This was the day the day I graduated from college and things have never been the same since. The Real World kicked my ass. Hard.
