Just picked it up the other day at Barnes' and Noble and so far it's been a real mind fug. When I think back to a lot of my bar encounters I can see why some things I've done did and didn't work. Obviously a lot of the PUA stuff is over the top which is how it probably works in Miami, NYC, L.A but wouldn't fly in the south. The strategies can seem cheesy but I like the basic principles. thoughts? only one of my friends has read it and he uses the stuff well.

If I am trying to date/sleep with a girl I am not going to try to "knock her down a peg".

If you're looking to bring home a 8-10 type girl, then you do need to bring them down a peg. and that doesn't mean an insult necessarily.

i'm about 3/4ths of the way now...i talked with a friend today about it and he made a spot on remark. the book is a lot deeper than what most people see on the surface...it isn't about openers, peacocking, magic routines, etc. it's about how women think, responding to situations, seeing the value in yourself, balancing life, etc. it's a great book.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
