Hey...So I was wondering...

[Guest]

Is Pick up dead?
It seems that even the hugest sites don't get nearly as much traffic as it used to
and the forum here is pretty much stagnant
Does anyone still sarge?

Pick up isn't dead, its just that the fundementals, the crux of pick up, are so mundane that you can only rehash it so much. All the information is already out there on how to be a man. And really there's nothing new to say.

Yes, it is pretty much dead.

All of the added publicity and traffic that the community received after Style's book came out is now gone. It is no longer mainstream.

A few years ago there were always people wanting to go out and hit the town and sarge. I remember on the weekends we would regularly have a group of 8+ guys heading out and hitting the bars up. Now you are lucky if you get one or two other people out. I guess some of it has to do with the fact that this used to be a tight knit group, where we were all friends, and a lot of us have grown apart and do our own things now.

The community is dying. But, the core principals will always be out there for anyone to take and use. The only difference is that it is harder to find others who are into this sort of thing.

Pickup isn't dead just because this board is.

In Chicago, where I now live, we get 30+ new members a month to our sarge-outs and meet & greets. Trust me the boards are very active.

But as for Dallas... most of the people who carried this board have gone on to get girlfriends and so they no longer are active, or they have moved away.

It's up to the younger/newer guys to take over the mantle and continue this if you think it's something worth carrying on.

Next man up.

So Im back after a summer away and having spent alot of time in the field. Just saw this thread and thought I would say howdy. Since I havent been around in awhile. My experience with forums is that they always slow down over the summer. I also know the guys over at DallasPUA.com are doing workshops and stuff. I keep getting emails from them. Good, bad, or indifferent, they are staying active somehow.

what's up gents.

Long time. Hope all is well.

Life has been treating me well. Engaged with girl many of you met at PCs a few years ago at NYE party. Career is progressing very nicely. Move from DFW has been bitter sweet.

Best advice having gone full circle is to not look at any of this stuff as "pickup". Learn those life skills that make you attractive, regardless of whether it's pickup. I see day in day out, how i use techniques i learned back in the day, every day in my professional life.


Having discovered the community pre "the game" and seeing the huge spike/flash in the pan attention...i suspect the old school mASF, "become a better man" community, is alive and well.

Miss the good old days guys.. Hope things are well for the guys still around.

Good post Grimm and Topdog.

I didn't learn and practice the skills the first time I was here.
Now I am paying for it.

I am getting a divorce for sure this time.
And I need the skills for the success of my new career.

So, I am all in this time.

Yes, it is interesting that from what, about 3 years ago, none of those guys are still here and single. Most have gotten hitched up.

Big mistake if you ask me. I look around, I've been divorced for 4.5 years and I'm still single. It's unusual to see a guy who's been single that long who is also able to get plenty of dates. Sure, the losers in the local pub who couldn't get laid if their life depended on it, it makes sense they're still single. But me, it's a choice and I hope I can stick with it for a life time.

I never wanna be that poor husband guy who's wife is making eyes at the hot guy behind his back ever again.

Maybe if she's really happy and really in love with her husband, and if you can keep that going forever and ever, maybe she'll never make those eyes at another guy. But I can tell you, I've done a lot of self improvement, especially in the looks department, and I get checked out by women who are with their husbands all the time. I realize it's only visual attraction, but I just don't want to be that guy ever again...the husband. Thanks, but no thanks. There just aren't many happy wives around. The odds aren't good fellas.

Preach it Alphagame. I don't ever ever want to get hitched again either! Pickup will always live for me. Now the cool thing is that I think the majority of guys don't understand female psychology and because of that they run a higher chance of losing the woman. Conversely, Guys who have studied pickup and understand female psychology, run a much improved chance of keeping a woman long term.
