So something I have realized is Roissy/PUA-style “game” does not work as a normative guide to how you, a man who does not get pussy, can get pussy, but it is a 100% accurate descriptive account of how the guys who do get pussy get pussy, and anxiety is the mediating factor

Also “anxiety” is not something caused by the situations you’re in that conscious changes in will change but rather a permanent variable, per-person and biochemical, like “depression”

epiphenomenalism except the mind is real and getting physical is the epiphenomenon

wasn’t it, like, entirely about training yourself to not feel anxiety about talking to women? Ancient third-hand knowledge informs me that they had a whole Thing about it, “your first thousand rejections don’t count”

Expecting someone with an anxiety disorder to voluntarily go through a thousand rejections is not practical, the anxiety is what makes the weight of a single rejection crushing.

  8. tuesdayisfordancing said: PUA stuff is a broad spectrum. Lots of it is predatory but also a decent chunk of does involve “show up, repeatedly” and “stand out in some way” the second of which does *sometimes* take the form of trying to identify Guy-with-a-platypus-fursuit as unfulfilled niche though generally not that adventurous.
