Pickup is a means to an end, not an end.
So many guys enter this wacky little world, hoping to solve a problem, and end up with a whole new one.
So many guys come in feeling inadequate as a man, and then along the way, start feeling indadequate as a pickup artist.
Ask yourself this; do you want to be a cool, relaxed guy who gets tons of girls, or do you want to be a pickup artist?
If you're striving to become the first, then don't beat yourself up when you aren't the second.
There are times when I'm in my head, thinking about philosophy or business or politics or whatever it may be, and I don't really feel like "picking up". So what do I do during these times? I just enjoy my life and get lost in my thoughts. I'm a deep, intelligent man, not a pickup machine.
Lose the scarcity mindset. If you were good with women last night, you will be good with women tomorrow...even if....gasspp...you don't talk to that many woman today. Stop fearing regression; it ain't gonna happene..unless you keep thinking about it.
Live your life as a man who is good with women, not a man who needs to constantly prove to himself that he is a well-oiled pickup machine.
