The SD Card

Archive for February, 2009

I ran into this story about how some cops in the UK arrested some guys who were running game… Un-fucking believable! I hope this gets cleared up.

I found this interesting little story about a couple would-be pick up artists getting arrested by the police for approaching chicks over on the London Seduction Society message boards…

3 Puas arrested in Oxford St. saturday afternoon

Thats right….
I was just on my way to my spot where I like to do some game when I spot 3 dudes with the PUA uniform. I spotted them and went to lean against a wall to see them in action from a distance while I was making sure that they were in fact PUAs.

I see one of them do a 3 set aproach and eject in 3 seconds, so I had some doubts.
Then, another one of them crosses the street to speak to this blonde lone wolf and after him goes a cop.

In matter of seconds, the cop arrests the guy that now just looks completely shock and disbelief and I think that he actually handcufs the guy. A second PUA crosses the street to see whats going on and gets arrested as well… So the third PUA just goes in and the party begins:

3 random dudes are arrested and searched in a corner of Oxford St. by one uniformed cop and 2 other civilian-dressed. I wanted to help, but I was risking exactly the same as the other 2 dudes and besides, I dont even know them, so I better mind my own business.

So I move on to my spot, open a lone wolf…. takes me 30 minutes to get her number and I walk back Oxf. St. again… AND THEY’RE STILL THERE!!!

Seriously… if you’re reading this and you’re the dudes, please just tell us what the hell just happened… Is it because you were opening too many sets on cctv?

WTF…?

And here’s the response from one of the guys who got arrested…

The first and third ones were students, the second one was me.

Fucking arseholes.

I don’t lose my temper easily. But that cunt really flipped a switch.

I saw one cop handling my guy really roughly for no reason, so I jumped in and got involved. Then another plain clothed came out of nowhere and got me while I was trying to write down his shoulder numbers. Then another student came in to see what the fuck was going on. Yeah, you guessed it. He gets nicked too.

They just go on about “dipping” and codes, like we were meant to understand them, and offered no alternative explanation in English.

They thought we were a gang of Romanian “dippers”, although they refused to explain what “dipping” actually means. They got really abusive and physical, left one of my boys in cuffs for ages even after they realised they’d just made twats of themselves.

I’m still in utter disbelief at how inept, abusive and overly zealous they were.

No explanation. Hardly identification. Fucking unbelievable.

Then turns out “dippers” are people who nick shit off people’s bags.

WHAT THE FUCK.

More later, I’m off to get some sleep. Everyone’s fine and we had a fantastic night after.

Cunts.

Yikes! What’s next, a RICO case against seduction gurus?

Okay, so the guys over at PUA experts, which I mentioned in an earlier blog have uploaded a couple of new calls for us to listen to at our leisure. But before I get to those,I just wanted to take some time to mention that I spent some time this past weekend listening to the call with Harlequin; it was fantastic! Essentially, Harlequin is another inner game guru, similar to Hypnotica or Steve P. here in the states. It was awesome to hear his point of view on inner game, share his personal stories with us, and share some nifty little tricks for basically doing a mental reset when there’s too much inner talk going on. I’d like to take this moment to personally say thank you to Harlequin for taking time out of his busy, very busy day to share his insights with the rest of the world.
I’d also like to reiterate again for those of you who have not kept up with my posts, but there’s some really awesome stuff going on with our British brethren in the PUA scene. Enigma and Jest are two guys who are essentially giving us free pickup advice when they could be charging us money, and trust me, it’s rather expensive to come by this material otherwise, so I’d also like to thank them.
At the end of the Harlequin call, he gave out his e-mail address as well as a really cool link to a free pickup video seminar you can find that here:here There are two calls for download that I haven’t yet posted, they are the following:
Ryanimal and Libertine: Download

Paladin: Download

Yes, yes, I know that some of you may believe that you are God’s gift to women but that’s not what I’m talking about. Let’s be clear, I’m talking about an avatar, I’m not talking about God incarnate on earth; I’m talking about the way you present yourself to the outside world. A lot of guys get into the realm of social dynamics and start spouting out routines like nobody’s business, and memorizing every facet of delivery, every body movement, twitch or reaction, and even dress in the style of their favorite pickup artist.
When you do this, you might notice that people give you weird looks… especially people who actually know you! Now I know what you’re thinking, “they’re just haters, I don’t need to worry about them!” That may be true, but it might also be because some of the things that you’re doing may appear incongruent with your personality. Think about it this way: there is a reason why Mystery always says he’s not out to create clones of himself, not everyone can be a magician!
Let me use myself as an example. Most of my stuff is made up of cocky funny material of my own making with a little bit of mysticism thrown in. I’ve always had a somewhat cocky and perverted sense of humor, so when that became more prevalent trait of my personality when I created my avatar, no heads were really turning because to the outside world, it just looked like I was becoming more comfortable in my own skin. The second component of my avatar is mysticism. I’ve always had a penchant for philosophy and religion, but it became clear to me once when I was sitting at a Starbucks. A friend of mine was taking a world religions class and asked me to take a look at her paper. I told her paper looked pretty good, and asked her why she wanted me to look at it specifically. She replied “you’re my religion buddy! You know a lot about this stuff.” So when I took up tarot cards, again it was no surprise. Whether I chose to take up runes or astrology from that point would make no difference because it’s congruent with my core personality. The lesson in this is that creating a persona based on your true self is a lot easier than trying to be something you’re not. And it is the method I recommend for creating an avatar for the following reasons:
1. There is less of a chance that you slip up during your game.
2. It’s not a lie. It’s a version of you that you want to be true, and it is, but it may be buried and locked away.
3. Characteristics that come from you become you in a more flattering way, and in a shorter time.
So what should you do when creating your avatar? First of all, choose your sense of style wisely, if you’re attracted to goth girls, don’t go around dressed like a college frat boy or an investment banker. Second, make a list of your current hobbies and then make a list of all the things that you’ve wanted to try and create opportunities to try those new things. The next thing you’ll want to do is cultivate your conversational style. This means if you’re funny, be funny. If you have no sense of humor whatsoever, that is likely an illusion. In this case, try out a few weird occurrences (stories) on some friends and see what kind of response you get. Chances are you possess some type of humor that you are unaware of. Once that’s cultivated I’d recommend finding comedians with similar types of humor and adapting some of the routines into your conversations. That doesn’t mean to blatantly pass their material off as your own, but it will get you thinking about similar things that may have happened to you or possible ways to tell a boring story in a more funny way.
If you fancy yourself a mystic, you can try things such as astrology, tarot cards, palm reading, runes, and other forms of divination. The greatest benefit from practicing such things repeatedly is that you unconsciously become better at cold reading other people which helps you calibrate in social situations.
Now up until this point it sounds like I’ve basically been telling you stick to your personality and nothing else. From an ideal standpoint, that would be best. But let’s face it, we all have flaws that we’d rather not share with other people right away, at least until we’ve built up some measure of trust. It is true that flaws give the human personality depth, but there is no need to go spilling out your most atrocious life stories. This is where a hint of spiritual routines, astute observations, a few illusions… you see where I’m going with this. This is where these things come into play as they are another way of conveying depth. I’m sure I’ve missed something, and I’m sure that somebody will criticize what I’ve written here, but I can only tell you what has worked best for me. Many writers around the globe base their characters on themselves and people they know for good reason. Because the people are real to them, and the more real something appears to be, the less likely it is that it will be regarded as false. I hope you guys find this helpful, and I’ll talk to you later!
