The Genius of Mystery

I recently saw a video of David Wygant. He is one of the greats who developed his method and techniques independant of PUA community. In the interview I saw with Mehow, it was clear that although Wygant has a very different style than Mystery, he independantly discovered the same stages of seduction, and the same principles of female psychology as did Mystery. Wygant is more understated, less showy and less peacocky. Wygant's methodology would not succeed in a club or any sort of loud, intense venue, but he plays a masterful day game. His genius is evident, on the otehr hand, after watching that video, I now understand Mystery's brilliance. Mystery was able to operationalize and deconstruct the process of seduction in order to be able to teach it better, and to be able to understand each part of the process so each can be improved upon and perfected. Also, Mystery stresses the value of building community and social circle.

Operationalize is a word used in psychology research to take some concept or process and break it down in to its constiuent parts in order to understand its structure, replicate the procedure and to test which parts are the criitical factors for its efficacy.

Essentially, Mystery (and others) were able to approach enough women over enough time, and overcome shyness, approach anxietyt, fear of rejection, humiliation from feeling rejected until they collected enough data (meaning, had enough experience) to see the patterns emerge.

Noobies, and even though I am new to PUA, I am coming to this having no small set of experience on my own, tend to want to know the magic words, the secret lines, that magical routine. To become good at this stuff quickly, you cannot worry about any particular individual girl/woman. Quit asking advice on that girl who broke your heart in high school, the girl you met a month ago, the girl who won't respond to any of your calls, emails or text messages. If you want to become good at this stuff quickly, just open up many, many sets. When you go to a club always be in a set. Open ugly girls, open HBs, open guys who are standing against the wall. Make friends with everyone. Initiate conversation with everyone. Talk to anyone who gives you any eye contact. Do not hesitate. If you open enough sets, you will eventually discover, experientially, that approach avoidance has habituated (gone away) and you will discover patterns and what works and what doesn't work. So, open 1,000 sets!
