The
Forbidden Truth
Part 2
“Just Another Casualty of the Information Age”
=>Find out the exact numbers on what methods and forums are
getting students laid.
Since then, we've become good friends, and I've seen first hand that not only does Brad have
the greatest game I've ever seen, but he also cares more about helping students than
anything else in the world.
A few weeks ago, Brad emailed me the statistics in this report , and he said that he was
worried about putting this information out into the public. When The Forbidden Truth Part 1
came out, it caused a tidal wave of emotion. On the one hand, many people were happy that
they finally had it spelled out to them why they weren't improving at pickup. On the other
hand, a lot of people in the business got hurt feelings and there were a few lost friendships.
Surely this was going to happen again, but this time even worse.
I had a heart to heart talk with Brad, and we decided that this information should be released
anyway, and let the chips fall where they may.
-Why Brad's 30/30 students are getting laid 7-10 times more than students on free public
forums.
-How the seduction community has fostered a culture of delusion and confusion on many
internet forums.
-How Brad and the UDS coaches invented a system for learning pickup that really works, and
isn't just a bunch of hype and marketing. While many other gurus and coaches are able to
pickup women themselves, only Brad P. and Neil Strauss have succeeded in getting a large
percentage of students laid purely by studying over the internet.
- Why Brad is now sharing the nuts and bolts of this system with everyone else, and hoping
that the entire seduction world will rip off our system and use it on their forum.
-Although they mean well, the various attempts at teaching seduction via forums have proved
largely unsuccessful. Read on and you will see the EXACT NUMBERS. You will see actual
proof that un-coached pickup forums are failing miserably when it comes to getting people
laid.
-How the culture of Pickup Forums could be stopping you from succeeding with women, and
what you can do to change this.
-How un-coached pickup forums are drawing you into a land of make believe. The longer you
read them, the more delusional and confused you will become.
-Why Brad is truly the guru you should put your trust in. His curriculum is getting a higher
percentage of students laid than workshops of other companies. That's something you should
pay attention to. It's not hype, it's real numbers and real results.
-Why Brad has been called #1 PUA in the world over and over again. After 10 years of people
learning pickup on the Internet, Brad has clearly emerged as the most effective teacher in the
history of the seduction community. Although Brad stays away from any kind of publicity, for
years he has been known as the “Secret Weapon” of the pickup community, and lives up to
that reputation to this day.
After knowing Brad for 3 years now, I can tell you he's a pretty humble guy. Until he springs
into action picking up hotties and teaching students, you'd never suspect he was the best in
the world. But there are things in his past that give him a distinct advantage over anyone else
teaching today.
-Brad has been studying psychology and philosophy for close to 2 decades now, and
holds degrees in both subjects. He draws on a massive database of experimental results and
psychological theories when teaching people
-He was a basketball coach for 3 years, after playing on a championship winning
NCAA college basketball team under an elite group of coaches, one of whom went on to
coach in the NBA. If you've never been around a group of “winners” and learned the winning
mentality, Brad will teach it to you.
-Brad spent 2 years working with the mentally ill. He taught basic life skills to adults
with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Schizophrenia, and a variety of learning disabilities.
This kind of experience will teach you to get through to anyone, no matter what their level of
comprehension.
-Brad spent 4 years as a social worker. He worked in a youth center running substance
abuse prevention programs for at-risk urban teens in Queens, New York City. This taught him
to deal with highly resistant individuals from a wide range of backgrounds.
Even if you end up hating this report, I hope it makes a huge impact on you, and results in
you taking action and chasing the dreams you have had for years. If you've had a dream of
massive success with women, but never had the guts to start chasing that dream with
everything you've got, this one is for you. This will be the turning point.

The
Forbidden Truth
Part 2
“Just Another Casualty of the Information Age”
Section 1: Meet Brad P.
I'm Brad P. and I want you to succeed with women.
The purpose of this report is to help you succeed and prevent you from wasting your time.
I am sick and tired of guys spending thousands of dollars and thousands of hours on Pickup
and not getting anywhere.
Please read this report carefully and try to follow the instructions as closely as you can.
My goal, my mission, and my life's work is to get you results. I hope you will use this
information as a springboard to get success beyond your wildest dreams.
For the sake of those who have never heard of me before, I will re-print some background
information about me from the original Forbidden Truth report. If you've already read this
report, please skip to section 2.
About Me
I am a dating expert with a degree in psychology and philosophy. Before becoming a dating
coach, I had several careers in "helping professions" where I learned how to teach people
who are in difficult situations or are having trouble learning. Consider my background before
you consider my theories on learning.
I was a basketball coach for 3 years, after playing on a championship winning NCAA college
basketball team under an elite group of coaches, one of whom went on to coach in the NBA.
This instilled in me the ability to push people, to get the most out of them, and how to impart a
"winning mentality" to all the students I encounter.
I spent 2 years working with the mentally ill. I taught basic life skills to adults with Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder, Schizophrenia, and a variety of learning disabilities. This is where I
learned how to communicate ideas and skills in a way that is calibrated and customized for
the listener's level of comprehension.
I spent 4 years as a social worker. I worked in a youth center running substance abuse
prevention programs for at-risk urban teens in Queens, New York City. This taught me to deal
with resistant populations and multicultural settings.
I spent the first 26 years of my life as a nerd who had no ability to deal with women or attract
women. I have a real understanding of the deep loneliness and fearfulness that men go
through when they fail with women.
I spent my first 8 months of learning cold approaching women every single day. That's 7 days
a week. I continued approaching and dating lots of women for the next 4 years and I still am
active to this day. Everything I teach comes from true life experience. There is no speculation,
no guessing. It's all things I've done myself.
I spent 2 years learning from naturals. I've learned from one natural who seduces women in
ten minutes, another who has out-gamed Tommy Lee, and a third who approaches 20+
women every day of his life.
I've spent the last 4 years doing a mixture of cold approach pickup and long term open
relationships, and I have an intimate knowledge of what it takes to get a woman, and what it
takes to keep a woman. Anything you've ever wanted to do, chances are I've done it and I can
teach it.
Since 2005, I've been running seminars and in-field workshops. I helped men from every walk
of life, from the most socially inept to the highly accomplished professional. My students have
had great success. A few high points include:
• 4 out of 6 students scoring from same day cold approaches in my 2008 Chicago
Workshop
• Helping a 32 year old virgin lose his virginity despite his severe learning disabilities.
• Helping a number of older men (some in their 50s) score on the same day with women
half their age.
Background
The original “Forbidden Truth” report was released in 2008. It was an investigation into the
teaching methods used in the Pickup Community and included a number of suggestions to
improve the overall success of the students and the movement overall.
If you haven't already read “The Forbidden Truth,” you might want to download it here.
This report, “The Forbidden Truth, Part 2” will investigate the progress made in the Pickup
world since 2008, and will include a comparative analysis of the various forums and systems
people are using to become proficient in seduction.
All of the research for this article was done by me, along with my 3 research assistants (Rajin,
Nick W, and Rockstarr).
If you are interested in seeing the massive amount of raw data behind this study, you can
view it yourself here.
Although it was a time consuming process to compile this data, it's something anyone could
have done. If you would like to verify the accuracy of the data, you are welcome to visit the
same forums I visited and see for yourself.
This information is publicly available to anyone with internet access. All we did was
compile it all into one place.
Furthermore, if anyone reading finds any statistical mistakes in the data, just email me, and I
will correct the mistakes and re-distribute this report.
The goals of this study:
2- To revisit some of the theories from the original “Forbidden Truth” report, and evaluate their
effects on student success from 2008 to 2011.
3- To share the most effective ideas from “The Forbidden Truth” and The 30/30 Club with the
rest of the community, and make some recommendations on a system of best practices for
online PUA forums.
4- To help the student navigate the internet PUA scene with focus and discipline.
It's not easy to figure out the answer to these questions. If you know me and you've read what
I wrote in Part 1, you'll know I'm a guy who likes science and numbers. I want to see
statistical evidence before I believe something. I want to see data, and I want that data to be
as reliable as possible.
We live in a world permeated by persuasive marketing and sloppy science. Everyone who
has a seduction system or a seduction forum is always going to want to tell you that their
method is the best.
One thing I can tell you for sure is that numbers don't lie.
Before we go on to the numbers, I should disclose the fact that I personally like the people
who created many of these forums. I'm a fan of guys trying to help each other. I'm a supporter
of the people who dedicate their time to building and maintaining these forums. Some of the
people who run these forums are friends of mine. I've done my best not to let my friendships
interfere with this report.
Ultimately, this study is not about my opinion on any of the forums or the people that run
them, it's about the real numbers. It's about the real results that the students are getting (or
not getting).
If we're ever going to move forward, we have to know the real facts about what's going on,
and not let our friendships and business affiliations prevent us from acknowledging what's
happening.
What you are about to read is the product of an 11 month, top-secret research project.
Before this project, no one has ever attempted to do an investigation of this scale into the
success rate of the Seduction Community.
I knew it would be risky to do a report of this scale. Half of my friends in the industry may get
very angry at me when they see that I have spied on their forum and released the results. By
printing this report, I risk industry-wide blacklisting and massive internet smear
campaigns....but it's worth the risk.
It's worth the 11 months of research, and the risk of being blacklisted for one reason. The
truth must be known. That's what this report is ultimately about. The students deserve to know
if anyone is getting laid in this movement, how much, and what systems are creating success.
As it turns out, there are a lot of people wasting their time in the seduction community, and it's
not increasing their success one bit....but we'll get into that later.
On the bright side, there are a few hundred guys who are increasing their chances of success
in a big way....more about that later.
Before we get into the results, I want to give you a short explanation of what question was
being investigated, and how this research was conducted.
But the question has been clouded by layers of confusion and hearsay.
Of course, every teacher would like to believe he has the best system. And every marketing
guy who gets hired thinks of ingenious ways of putting this message out there.
Even systems who have no “leader” or “guru” make claims of being the best.
It's hard to know who to believe.
I am an extremely skeptical person, and I usually don't believe anyone. One thing I do believe
is numbers. I believe students' results can be studied and quantified. That is what I did during
the course of this research project.
By now you're probably dying to know which system came out on top of this study, but please
be patient and read on. It's important to understand how we arrived at these numbers.
Method of Study
The method of the study was very simple.
First we determined how many “active users” were on each seduction forum. The term “active
users” is defined as any forum member who posted 5 or more times between Jan 1st, 2010
and June 30th, 2010.
Then we determined how many lay reports were on that forum. For lay reports, we followed
traditional community doctrine: a BJ or better= lay report. Most forums have these reports
marked as “LR” so it's pretty easy to spot them. In some cases, we included “FR” reports
where the poster got laid, even if he did not mark the report “LR.”
If a forum member had multiple LRs, we counted him as 1 active poster getting laid.
Then we used the following formula to determine what percentage of active members are
getting laid:
However, I believe this study gives us the most accurate picture possible.
We can't put a spy camera into every bedroom, club bathroom, and back seat in the world. So
we will never know with 100% certainty who's getting laid and who is not.
But this study gives us a pretty good idea, because it was done in secrecy. Men have a
tendency to lie about how much they are getting laid if they know they are being observed.
None of the data in this study came from people who thought they were being observed. They
were just logging the information in their “natural habitat.”
What it comes down to, is that this is the most reliable set of data in existence at the present
time. Maybe there will be better studies some day. As for now, this is the best study you can
get.
And now, the moment you have all been waiting for....the Lay Report Leader Boards.
Highest Percentage of Active Members Getting Laid
If you want the best system out there, go with the one that has a proven track record of
success. Here is the Leader Board on which forum and system gets the highest % of students
laid.
3. StyleLife Academy (Neil Strauss aka Style, paid private forum) 14.29%
If you want to know more about these forums or you want to see the actual data, including
URLs of every lay report, you can view the data here. It's all laid out for you on our webpage.
You can view the forum for every url in our report.
If you are skeptical of these numbers, I encourage you to view raw data, which includes every
post by every active member. Remember, every part of this report is backed up by real
data that is publicly available to anyone who wants to take the time to go through it.
Here are some more leader boards you might find interesting.
Total Active Members
For some folks, bigger is better. Other guys would rather be on a smaller more intimate forum
where you can get to know people. If you're curious about how many active members are on
a forum, read on and this Leader Board will tell you.
9. PuaForums.com 1.25%
160 Active Members
10. Love Systems Lounge (Love Systems workshop students only) 16.40%
67 Active Members
* All figured have been verified by data examination except FastSeduction.com Their forum is
set up in a way that makes it impossible to download and analyze 6 months worth of posts. I
have reason to believe Formhandle's estimate to be very close to accurate.
There are other forums on the internet, but we only studied forums with 50+ active members.
Total Lay Reports
Let's give credit where credit is due. These are the forums that have gotten the most people
laid.
Some forums are free, others are not. If you're looking to get the most bang for your buck,
take a close look at this Leader Board.
If you look closely, you'll notice the percentages of people getting laid are about 6 times
higher on paid forums. Free forums don't get past a 2% or 3% success rate.
It's yet another case of “you get what you pay for.” The free forums can't get anywhere near
the success rate of the paid forums.
One thing that can make the online forum experience really cool is talking to the founder who
invented the system you are using. Guru participation shows that someone cares about the
forum and is steering the ship. But whoa...hold on a second there! Not all the gurus post on
their own forums. Read this Leader Board to find out who does.

forum.
Section 4: Confusing Ourselves to Death
Picking up women and fucking them is a matter of life and death. If you can't figure out how to
do it, you will have no offspring and you will die alone. Period.
Over the past ten years, a self help movement called “the seduction community” has
appeared on the planet earth, and it is giving hope to men who would have had little hope
otherwise.
The goals of this movement are grandiose. As coaches, we hope to bring personal growth,
sex, love, and happiness to men who are struggling with all of the above.
This is a goal that can be accomplished. I have seen men who have never even talked to a
woman go from a nervous stuttering mess to the kind of guy who gets laid regularly. It can
take place in a matter of months. A transformation like this is truly amazing to behold.
However, this self help movement is currently in jeopardy of disappearing due to lack of
results. If it does disappear, so do the hopes and dreams of the hundreds of thousands of
men who have found themselves unable to attract a mate.
If the students don't get laid, the movement will eventually cease to exist. It's that simple.
You may be wondering why our movement is in jeopardy. To put it simply, it is on the brink of
collapsing under it's own weight.
Over the last ten years, we have witnessed an avalanche of information, some of which is
highly effective when applied in the real world.
However, without a structure in place to help people utilize this information, men are ending
up worse than they were before. Men are going through a strange process of information
addiction which is preventing them from getting success even before they can talk to a single
woman.
While there are a few bright spots in the seduction community where people are actually
succeeding, the majority of the men who are studying pickup on the internet are moving
backwards. They are not getting laid. They are not growing as people. They are not gaining
any social skills. All they are doing is amassing a vault of useless information and trivia.
They will never translate this information into results. It will only make them more confused.
When I first went on the internet and saw all these forums, I figured the success rate would be
way higher than that. The techniques they are teaching seem to be effective and well thought
out if you just go out and do it.
I went and tried some of the techniques out myself, and I found that the results were truly
amazing. This material is genius level stuff! If you go out and use it all the time, you will get
results for certain.
Therein lies the problem. Most of the guys on the forums haven't gone out and done anything.
In the next few sections, I will propose my theory on why no one is using what they are
reading, why 95% of the students are not getting laid, and what can be done to change this.
Everything I am proposing has already been tested and I can prove that it works better than
what is currently being done.
Section 5: Case Study: GoGoRomeo564
Let's consider the case of GoGoRomeo56. He's a new member of the Pickup Community.
Let's follow him through his path and see where things are going right and where things are
going wrong. Romeo's path is typical, and the majority of Pickup students go through the
same issues.
Romeo hears about the Pickup Community through a friend and decides to look into it. He's
32 years old and has never had much success with women. Romeo is a talented IT
professional, with tremendous analytical skills.
As he begins reading newsletters and free forums, he sees that he will finally be able to use
his analytical talents to get himself some ladies. What an exciting prospect!
It's all so exciting at first. The coaches and gurus are getting tremendous results. Romeo
hopes one day he can get similar results and live a life filled with great women. Maybe he
could even become a coach some day. Now that would be something!
After a few weeks, Romeo has spent about 30 hours reading and studying. He starts thinking
maybe it might be a good idea to talk to some girls and try this stuff out. He goes out into the
park on his lunch break with an opener ready to go.
But the first girl he sees seems too snobby. The next one is too chubby. The third girl is too
hot and it's scary to even think about talking to her. Romeo finally works up the nerve to talk to
a girl on a park bench, but there's an old man sitting next to her and Romeo is afraid of what
he might say.
Romeo spends 10 more hours reading up on “approach anxiety” and buys a few DVD sets,
hoping this will spring him into action. He spends a few weeks watching the DVDs and
figuring out a new game plan.
Romeo decides to go out to a bar and try the openers from the DVD set. When he arrives, he
feels that everyone is watching him and wondering why he is there alone. Romeo tries to get
his thoughts organized, but there's just too many ideas in his head.
He's already planned an opener, a few attraction routines, and how to take the girl home, but
suddenly all the things he's studied just start feeling unnatural. He thinks back on a newsletter
where one of the coaches was saying to never used rehearsed scripts, just be natural.
Romeo decides to have a couple of drinks and collect his thoughts. Then he will able to
naturally attract women, he thinks. He ends up drinking more than he intended to and taking a
cab home. Romeo felt that he was just too tipsy to do any approaches.
Romeo decides to study up on “natural game” so he won't have that weird feeling again. He
attends a seminar on natural game and is impressed with the charisma of the speaker. It must
have been those damn routines that were making him feel so weird.
Romeo begins posting on the forum he has been reading. By now 4 months have gone by,
and he's done enough reading and studying to sound very knowledgeable. The guys on the
forum are complimenting Romeo's advice posts.
With the new confidence he has gained from these compliments, Romeo makes a 2nd attempt
at lunch time gaming in the park. He's planning to say hi to some girls and then say whatever
comes naturally.
As he's walking, he quietly says hi to a passing woman. She walks right by him without even
looking at him. This rejection hits Romeo like a kick in the nuts. He feels all his confidence
quickly disappearing. He has a knot in his stomach and a sinking feeling in his chest. Maybe
it's time to sit down for a second.
Romeo spends the rest of his lunch break trying to remember all the natural techniques he
studied, but when you're feeling so nervous and downtrodden, it's hard to remember anything.
He heads back to work and quickly jumps back on to his PUA forum for a quick ego boost.
One of the guys on the forum reads Romeo's post and suggests he do some inner game
work. That must be the problem.
Romeo quickly downloads an intense inner game seminar and gets to work filling out the
workbook. He implements the Abundance Mentality, does some Visualization Exercises, and
signs up for yoga classes and salsa dancing.
He's now been in the game for 11 months. He knows everything there is to know about
routines, canned openers, natural game, inner game, and he's developed his ability to salsa
dance and increased his flexibility by doing yoga.
Romeo starts attending meetings at a Seduction Lair. He goes out to dinner with some of the
lair guys. They debate the pros and cons of Old Skool Mystery Method and Speed Seduction.
The lair guys tell him secrets about the real life of David DeAngelo. Romeo finds out David
D's real name. Wow, what an informative and exciting night!
The lair guys have a lot of respect for Romeo. They want to hear all about yoga and salsa
dancing. Romeo makes some great friends and revels in the feeling that he finally has a place
where he belongs.
Now 14 months have passed and Romeo has not gotten laid yet.
Wasn't Romeo going to learn all the brilliant techniques of the gurus and create a rock star
lifestyle for himself?
2- Internet validation
3- Hero worship
4- Information overload
5- Lack of a plan
Unfortunately, this story is all too common. I would estimate that this plight affects more than
90% of Pickup students. I call these folks who are affected by these issues the KJ Nation.
KJ stands for keyboard jockey. A keyboard jockey is a person who studies and reads pickup
information, but does not use it in real life.
The good news is that hope is not lost for the KJ Nation.
I've developed a system of education that prevents these problems before they start in
newbies. It also functions to rehabilitate KJs. They may come in as KJs, but they are quickly
transformed into a true Pickup Artist who lives an action packed life and is no longer a passive
observer.
I've implemented all of these preventive measures into the 30/30 Club, both in the forum and
in the curriculum. I'd like to share these with you, because even if you are not a member of
the 30/30 Club, perhaps you can benefit from implementing some of these ideas.
Section 6: From Newbie to KJ in just 12 months!
Now that you've heard Romeo's story, maybe you know people like him or maybe you are like
him yourself. Let me get more specific about what's going on here.
Here's are the stages of newbie development, as it often plays out across the world.
1- "Discovery"- This is when your first discover that you can read books about how to get
laid. During this phase you are excited to have found it. You are ecstatic that the literature is
available. Some newbies start to see themselves as superior to others, and start to see the
world as "enlightened" guys who study PU, and "the rest of the world," poor uninformed idiots.
There is no field time for most people in this stage.
2- "Guru Role Model"- When you're a teenager, you pick your favorite
music/movie/band/sport and that becomes a large part of your identity. When you're new to
Pickup, you pick your favorite guru and that becomes a part of your identity. (It doesn't have to
be a well known guru, it can be anyone who's writing on the internet). This seems to be a
normal part of the development, and not necessarily a bad thing. It's only a problem if there is
still no field time.
3- "Surrogate activities"- This is the part where you are scared to go into the field, so you
join a lair or take salsa lessons instead, so you can feel like you're moving forward. For many
people, still no field time.
4- "Acceptance and involvement in surrogate activities"- You start to get really involved in
the lair, or salsa, or you start talking all the time on an online forum. You become a "known
guy" and this is exciting. Still no field time. But you can speak with authority, since you're a
known guy, sometimes you start giving your opinion, or even giving advice.
5- "Small attempt #1"- This is that part where you get frustrated and you say "DAMN I'VE
GOTTA GET THIS HANDLED! THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" At this point you sign up for something
where other people will pressure you to do approaches. Maybe a workshop, or group lair
outing, or something like that.
At this point, the student will expect this training to solve everything, and result in being able
to approach all the time. But since it's only a few days, it's not a long enough change in
behavior to result in a permanent difference.
A truly decisive action would be to sarge every day for 6 months. Not sarge 1-3 times in a
weekend. Going in field a few times is a “small attempt” at improving.
Out of everything in these stages, 'decisive action' is the thing which works best, and is a
turning point for many people. Some guys (the winning 5%) go on to huge successes. They
take their first decisive action and from there they just keep rolling and rolling. But if it doesn't
work, we get to the next stage.
6- "Disillusionment"- Student gets angry at himself, or angry at the coaches, or angry at the
forum, or angry at the world. He wants to blame someone or something for his lack of results.
The reality of the situation is that his first attempt was just not enough. It's that simple.
But since the student was overly-optimistic about the process, and underestimated the work
involved, he feels disillusioned.
7- "Sticking with it"- The student still wants success in this area more than anything, so he
sticks with it. He fluctuates through surrogate activities, small attempts at decisive action, and
continues to be a "known guy" on a forum or in salsa and enjoys that sense of belonging. For
most people, there is little to no field time in the future.
8- "Point of no return"- This is the point where you've spent so much time not going into the
field, that it just becomes normal. You've accepted that you are not going to take action, but
you cling to the hope that maybe someday some external force or event will happen where
you are spurred into learning.
In this section we will examine the systematic forces which have created the KJ Nation.
Remember, there's no one person out there who is intentionally trying to turn you from an
ambitious beginner to a Keyboard Jockey. The problem is systematic. It's a complex
situation. Keep in mind the following facts-
– Free Forums get paid by advertisers, who pay according to how much traffic the forum
gets. It's in the forum owner's best interest to keep you coming back every day,
whether you're going in the field or not.
– Info-Marketing Professionals make money when you buy a product. They use
sophisticated persuasion techniques and ingenious sales letters to get you to buy
products, and to keep you coming back for more.
There is no incentive for Info-Marketers to get you in field. In fact, even if they wanted
to, there would be nothing they could do to get you off your ass. Their area of expertise
is how to sell, not how to motivate you to work on something which is difficult at first.
– The Internet itself is a black hole of infinite time wasting options. Every time you think
you have enough information to take action, the Internet will serve up better and more
alluring forms of information. Each seems to hold the promise of some magic tidbit
which will solve all your problems.
As it turns out, the Internet can indeed give you powerful, life changing information. It
can also seduce you into sitting in a chair until your best opportunity to use this
information has slipped past you.
– When you are new, you have a golden opportunity to get in the field before information
overload starts to set in, the longer you wait, the harder it will be.
– When you are new, you have a choice. You can sit in a comfortable chair studying,
clinging to the false belief that the studying is actually helping, or you can go in the field
and confront a myriad of uncomfortable situations and difficult personal growth.
Most people choose the first option because it is easier. But it is the second option that
actually helps you improve.
Remember, no one is going to help you if you don't help yourself. You must be vigilant in
order to avoid uncontrolled time wasting. You must be vigilant against your own tendency to
take the easy road.
Here's a system of best practices for students who hope to achieve success-
1- Make sure you go in the field ALL THE TIME. 3-7 times a week is good.
2- Keep track of what info you are taking in. Don't do any aimless reading, only read material
that pertains directly to what you are working on in your game. Make sure you are spending 2
hours in the field for every 1 hour you spend studying. (when I say “the field,” that includes
phone/text game, going on dates, hanging with women you've been fucking, and of course
cold approaching).
3- Choose ONLY ONE METHOD and give it a chance for a while. Give it 6-12 months before
you try something else. When you mix methods together, you slow your learning process
down. You will eventually still learn, but I assume you would rather learn fast than slow.
The fastest way is to take a method from a legit teacher and do it in its purest form for a while.
Commit to the method completely. Don't whine or complain or nitpick it, just do it exactly as it's
explained.
When I say "legit teacher" I mean a teacher who is field tested. It doesn't have to be a
commercial guru, but it does have to be someone with real results in the field.
Coaches who have taught live workshops in front of real students for years are the sure thing.
If they were bullshitting, there would be bad reviews everywhere.
People who are "writers" and don't do pickup in front of live students will always be
questionable. Could be good, could be bad, no one really knows.
4- Don't be unrealistic. Accept the fact that this will take a long time, and will be a lot of work.
Enjoy the process. Don't whine about it. Don't be a pussy. Just take your lumps and realize it
will toughen you up. Plan on investing 6-18 months before you see consistent results. Then
when you get there, the results last a lifetime, so it's totally worth it.
5- Don't take shortcuts! Take your time and learn stuff the right way. It is way faster to learn
right the first time.
If you take shortcuts, you will just have to learn it again later.
Learning 2 or 3 or 4 times takes much longer. That's why guys become lifers and they are still
here trying to learn 7 years later. Do not rush the learning process.
Do not let your brain get out of control and start saying "HOW LONG UNTIL I GET
GOOD??!!??" every 5 minutes.
Asking yourself that question is what makes the learning take longer.
Here's a system of best practices for forums who want students to succeed, and put student
success above the pursuit of traffic and advertising dollars-
– Give every student 1-2 months to read up and choose a system to follow, at which
point he must begin a regiment of meeting women and taking action to implement what
he's learning. Abolish the 12 month “reading up” period.
– Have every student keep track of hours in the field and hours spent studying. Add this
info to his signature on the forum. This will force students to pay attention to the fact
that their field time to study time ratio might be completely out of whack.
– Discourage people from giving advice if they are not getting laid yet. On my 30/30
forum, I have a rule prohibiting advice from students who aren't getting laid. We simply
delete the advice or ban the user if he continues violating the rules. On larger forums, it
may not be possible to enforce a rule like this, but it is possible to create an
atmosphere that discourages advice from KJs.
– Have each student keep track of how many approaches he's done that month, how
many number closes, full closes, and dates. Have students list this information in their
signature. This creates a culture of accountability.
A culture of accountability makes a big difference. If you're a student, and you're the
only guy on a forum without any approaches this month, you will want to go out and do
some in order to catch up with the others.
Here's a signature format that could help:
I think by this point I've made my point about what's going on in the existing system for
Learning Pickup on the Internet.
1- It's not working. A very small percentage of readers are getting success.
2- It's actually preventing people from succeeding in many cases.
For the people who do manage to avoid KJ syndrome, the results are magnificent.
Although the system is broken at the present time, it still contains all the ingredients needed
for a huge breakthrough.
Right now, with a few small tweaks, we could possibly get that 5% number up to 25% or
maybe even 50%.
The material is truly powerful. Women love this stuff. If you don't believe me, go and try some
of it out. The techniques in the seduction community work like gangbusters.
Let's take a moment to hear some of the amazing stories from guys who took action and
applied what they were studying. These success stories are truly amazing, and I know for a
fact that they are 100% true, since I've known these guys personally for a long time.
Success Story #1
StylishChaos
30/30 Club
I want to give some inspiration to the new guys who just joined up and tell you what 30/30 has done for
me personally. Before 30/30 I had a hard time approaching women and getting really good results. I have
bounced in and out of some pretty cool social circles and have been around some really hot women.
During that time I picked up the occasional lay, fuck buddy and girlfriend but it always seemed like it was
by chance. After getting played by a summer fling I decided to get my shit together. I had 12 months left
of school and 12 months to get a handle on my dating life before moving to a new city and starting out
fresh.
I'm not gonna lie the first couple months were rough. I remember going out by myself (which was
enough of a challenge) but also approaching just about every hottie I ran into. I would get blown out a
lot, say shit that backfired, and get denied when asking for a number. During that time I developed
something that 90% of the guys that walk the earth don't have.... its called confidence. I learned that it
doesn't matter what the results were with any girl I encountered, I was making progress in my game. The
more times I got shot down and blown out, the more mistakes I corrected.
That confidence allowed me to overcome my approach anxiety and meet a girl that has literally rocked
my world. I met this girl back in September and pulled her number. She had a boyfriend at the time so I
had a hard time getting her to meet up. During the time that we were chatting/texting I was doing my
approaches, learning and perfecting my game. In the beginning of December she asked me if I wanted to
meet up after work. I took her out to the bars (she isn't 21 so this was a huge display of value) and then
took her home and fucked her. Later she admitted that she was too drunk to remember which explains
why the next night she got a hold of me to hang out and fuck me again.. this time while she was sober. I
remember after we first hooked up we were watching "the pickup artist" on VH1 and she made a
comment about how that stuff doesn't work. In my mind I was thinking its that type of strategy that got
me laid last night.
Some guys would stop pursuing if they knew she had a boyfriend.. I didn't. Most guys would fail her shit
tests.. I passed them all. Lots of guys would get needy after landing a girl like this.. I just gave her the
impression that it was no big deal and it happens all the time. Keep in mind this girl looks like she
walked right off a Maxim cover. So we continued to talk and I later found out that I was the 2nd guy she
has ever slept with. This girl did everything for her boyfriend. She picked up after him. She bought him
food all the time. She basically was the perfect girl and this douchebag was walking all over her. I spent
about 4 weeks trying to convince her to dump him and then one week before V-day she did. We instantly
started hanging out all the time. I spent V-day with her. Her birthday was right after and I did the meet
and greet with her parents. We are going on spring break together here in a couple weeks. Needless to
say things are perfect.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that the 30/30 club has given me the confidence to pickup 9s and
10s as well as strategies to get numbers, get them on dates, get them into bed, and develop the mindset
to keep them interested for the long haul. If you put in the time you will be amazed at the results.
Success Story #2
Strelok
30/30 Club
Hey everyone, I am currently in Month 9 and I had 20 cold approach lays since joining the
30/30 Club.
I am currently 33, and I have been learning pickup since Feb 2008 (in the 30/30 since July
2008, so I just started Month 10). Prior to stumbling on PU at the age of 32, I was a typical
clueless loser, probably even below average.
I lost my virginity at 21 ... with a hooker. I fucked the first non-hooker girl at 23. Then I had a
couple of long term relationships (about a year long each) which got me confused and
disillusioned in women. After that I had a 4 year period when I was fucking lots of hot
hookers because I believed that I just could not attract a hot woman if I didn't pay her. So, by
the age of 30 I was very much fucked up in the head about my worthiness as a man.
Then, I met my Dream Girl. She was all I ever wanted in a girl - model looks, ambitious and
exceptionally successful in her career, smart, great sense of humor. I managed to start
dating her (meeting and making out at most) and was completely smitten. I wanted to marry
this girl ASAP! So, I became needy, and as you know, neediness is instant death in this
game. I did not know anything about pickup at the time, so when she stopped talking to me, I
was in shock. BTW, I never fucked her. So, I lost sleep imagining some other guy(s) fucking
"my" girl. I was in emotional pain and it sucked, but on the other hand, it was that "kick in
the ass" that forces you to start moving in the right direction. I got a strong urge of "I wanna
figure this dating thing out!" but I didn't know where to start.
Luckily, I explored this topic a bit on the internet and a new world opened to me! I still
couldn't believe that it was possible for ME to learn this stuff, but I was hooked and decided
to play with it anyway (because it couldn't get any worse, hehe!).
Learning PU pre-30/30
My learning started in Feb 2008 and consisted of typical devouring of any information I could
get. I could have become a victim of "information glut" which happens to so many guys, but
escaped it by managing to get my ass into the field (night clubs) in March 2008. Honestly, at
first I was scared shitless to go out. I hadn't been to night clubs for 10 years!
Anyway, I went out and got lucky! The first night in the field I cold approached a girl (20 y.o.
8) and fucked her a week later on Day 3! That was definitely an eye opener for me. I got first
hand proof that this pickup stuff works for me.
For the next three months I continued going into the field twice a week but did not get any
new cold approach lays. Something was not working. I started believing that this pickup
stuff was probably not for me and was about to quit. Then, luckily, I discovered the 30/30
Club.
30/30 Experience
July 2008 was my Month 1 in the Club. Upon joining the Club I already had 4 months of field
experience and also knew bits and pieces of pickup theory. However, that combination still
did not work well.
But once I got exposed to 30/30 material and started learning things in the correct order, my
game took off immediately. It was a wild ride! I fucked 4 new girls off cold approach in Month
1 alone! I couldn't fucking believe it, haha! Then I got 2 new lays in Month 2 (both were
ONSs), 4 new lays in Month 3 and 4 new lays in Month 4. Then I fucked 2 new girls in Month
5 and by that time collected a rotation of 7 fuck buddies (mostly 8s).
I went from having next to zero girls in my life to having so many that I couldn't physically
fuck them on a regular basis. So I started FLAKING on girls, haha!
Getting so many new girls so quickly also killed my motivation to learn and approach. I had
massive difficulties getting my ass into the cold winter nights to go sarge Moscow clubs. It
got so bad that in Month 6 I did not get any new lays. That was unacceptable for me, so I
immediately ditched my whole rotation and became sex-hungry again.
That ditching had positive results, as I got 1 new lay in Month 7 and Month 8 and 2 new lays
in Month 9. Also, in Month 9 I f-closed my first 9.
As of today, I fucked 20 new girls while in the 30/30 Club (all of these are cold approaches).
Starting from Lay#7 I started posting detailed lay reports in a separate thread:
http://forum.bradp.com/showthread.php?t=575
These may be considered "The Adventures of Strelok in the 30/30 Club", haha!
Identity Development
One area that I am very content with is identity development. I realize now that the 30/30
Club gave me the courage to dream and to act on these dreams. One of my dreams is to see
many countries in the world, the other one is to learn to kite-surf at an advanced level. These
are the things that I REALLY want to do. At first, I did not know how to proceed in pursuing
them. Then in Month 4 I probably grew enough balls and realized - to achieve my dreams I
have to take a long vacation (about a year long). So, that's what I plan to do. In February or
March 2010 I will quit my job and go for a year long "Follow The Wind" trip (visiting all major
kite surfing spots in the world). These will include Vietnam, Brazil, Mauritus and Venezuela
among others. Also, I plan to game a lot in this trip (all across the world). So, 2010 will be the
year of "sex, kite surfing and rock'n'roll"!
Success Story #3
Quantum
30/30 Club
I've had sex with a different girl every month since I joined the 30/30 club. They were ALL
from cold approaches. Who will be the lucky winner this month?
Success Story #5
Shine
30/30 Club
I am going to keep this short and sweet. The longer story is in the graduate board and the
sex and escalation month.
I got a blow job from a girl I was escalating on Facebook and had met at a party. She looked
me up and befriended me. The blow job was given in a local MALL BATHROOM. People
walking in and out and no one knew.
OK by now I think you get the idea. These guys are having amazing results because
they applied the material. Their dreams are coming true.
This is going on across the world, not only in 30/30, but with people using other methods
as well.
These results are typical for those who go in field and apply themselves.
It's time to make my recommendations on what you should do to increase your
chances of success.
It would be nice if all the forums took my suggestions and made radical changes in the KJ
culture they are fostering.
But let's face it, the system is probably going to stay the way it is now. The people who run it
will probably continue catering to the KJs, lurkers, and toe-dippers in order to keep their web
traffic flowing.
_________________________________________
Quick run down of terms:
Lurker-
A lurker is someone who reads a forum all the time, but does not post or talk to anyone.
Toe-dipper
This is someone who just “dips his toe in the water” to see what it will be like.
In the pickup world, a toe dipper may take a workshop here and there, or do an approach here and there,
but does not take action on a consistent basis.
Man of Action-
This is someone who reads seduction material, and takes action by using it right away.
__________________________________________________
Here's what you can do to make sure you're in the winning 5%, and you don't become just
another Casualty of the Information Age.
1- Do not spend a prolonged period of time “reading up” and “working on inner game”
before you start implementing what you are reading.
The best time to start is the first week you find this material. If you find this material on the
internet on a Thursday, by Friday you should buy a book of openers and go out to start trying
them.
The absolute maximum time you should spend studying before you begin approaching is 2
months. If you wait longer than 2 months, your window of opportunity will start closing. The
longer you wait, the harder it will be.
If you're working on inner game, go in the field at the same time. No need to avoid the field
just because you're fixing inner game.
2- Choose one system and give it a chance for at least 12 months before you give up and
switch to something else.
During the first year of learning pickup, there are many internal changes that go on beneath
the surface. These changes are positive and necessary, but they don't always lead to
immediate, obvious results.
Many students will spend 6 months learning, not get laid yet, and blame the guru or
methodology that he is working with. This is a mistake. In most cases, this initial effort leads to
invisible improvements which will support a lifetime of success. If that student would just stick
with it for a full 12 months, the results would be excellent.
By switching to a new method halfway through, a student will significantly slow down the
learning process. It is a major setback, and this is why it can often take people 3-4 years to
learn.
Most students are constantly chasing their tails, switching methods every few months and
combining things that were never designed to work together. If you do this, it will turn your
brain into a mess.
Can you learn if you are constantly switching methods and mixing methods? Yes. It will just
take a lot longer. When you switch methods, you're adding on 1-3 years to your learning
process.
3- Learn things in the right order. Start with beginner stuff, and don't move on to harder
stuff until you have learned the beginner stuff thoroughly. If you don't know what I mean by
“Beginner Stuff,” you should download the 30/30 Workbook. It's free.
Taking advice from guys who don't get laid will add an indeterminable amount of time to your
learning process. In some cases, they advice can be so damaging that if you listen to it on a
consistent basis, you will never succeed.
“In the field” means approaching, doing phone game, going on dates, and corresponding with
girl's you've met.
“Studying” means reading forums, reading eBooks, watching DVDs, writing field reports, and
anything where you are taking in information that can be used to succeed with women.
The message has become sanitized for the mainstream , and it's become about “building
social skills” and “becoming a better man” etc.
I'm all for building social skills, but if the material is not getting you laid, then there's
something wrong with the method.
So if you've been approaching for a year or more, and you can approach but you are showing
no progress towards getting laid, it might be time to try a more extreme methodology.
The most important thing is being able to get laid. The amount of blowouts you get along the
way doesn't matter, as long as the end result is there.
The importance of being able to approach without getting blown out has been over-
emphasized in the seduction community.
Teaching a blowout-proof approach method that doesn't get students laid is the easy way out
for both the teachers and the students. It is easier for the teacher to teach, and it caters to the
fears of the student. Be careful not to fall into this trap.
7- Be a serious student.
Clear your schedule to work on this area of your life. Don't try to work 80 hours a week while
you're learning this. It's not gonna work out for you. Cut back your hours to 40 or less.
This kind of thinking will lead you down the wrong road.
The only thing that matters is what results you get out of it.
It's not likely you're going to be able to implement everything in a 24 DVD set anytime soon,
so all you're doing with that is clogging up your brain.
If you're so worried about “getting your money's worth” that you neglect to identify and
implement the lessons that are applicable to you, you're just going to move backwards.
If you're a serious student, you should take one or two tips and run with them. Use them in the
field over and over until you perfect the technique.
Nobody needs 24 DVDs all in one day. That stuff is for seduction consumers who are all
uptight about the money they just spent. Guys who are constantly thinking about money vs.
value are rarely able to apply their energy to learning pickup in the field.
Just grab what techniques you can from anything you buy, and then get into the field and run
with it. You don't have to analyze your purchase over and over endlessly trying to justify the
money you just spent.
For anyone who needs help from me, I have designed a curriculum where all of these
recommendations are built in. It's called the 30/30 Club. It's 12 months of focused learning,
with all lessons correctly sorted by me, and advice from coaches who all get laid (no KJs).
You will meet 30 new women per month, and your learning process will be structured and
managed by me.
We have the highest rate of success in the world, so I strongly recommend you check it out.
If you've been paying attention to what you're reading here, by now you should be scared to
death about what could happen if you get sucked into the black vortex of information that's
calling to you from the Internet.
If you stick to a structured plan with good advice, no information overload, well timed
information, and you go in the field regularly, you can expect the following results.
If you don't start applying what you study right away, you can expect the following
results:
– loneliness
– social isolation
– a life of unhappiness
– no attention from women
– long dry spells where you don't have sex (it could be years)
– anxiety in social situations for the rest of your life
– forming social connections with lots of delusional men who study but don't apply
– you could become an eternal KJ, lurker, or toe-dipper
Maybe you think it's going to be scary to approach women awkwardly for the next few months
while you're getting your skills together. Maybe you think bad things might happen or people
might make fun of you.
After teaching thousands of students over the last 7 years, my opinion is that most newbie
students have fears that are completely unrealistic. For example, I don't have one single
student who has gotten punched by a jealous boyfriend. I don't have one single student who
has been slapped by a girl. This stuff simply does not happen.
But since many people are frightened of it, I'll grant you that it's a possibility.
Let's take a moment to decide which is more frightening?
OR
Which is more scary? I think I'd rather be punched in the face a few times than live the rest of
my life with no pussy and no love.
How about you? How would you feel about a life sentence of celibacy? Can you imagine what
that would be like? Think about it. No sex ever again. EVER!!
OR
Your friends make fun of you for a few weeks because you are doing awkward beginner
approaches
Which is more scary? I think I'd rather have my friends tease me a little then go the rest of my
life not getting the women I want.
Your whole life you have been thinking about a certain kind of girl, or a certain kind of
relationship, or a certain kind of sexual scenario.
You know you want it. You say in your head you would do anything to get it.
But when the chips are down, the short term danger of your friends' disapproval turns you into
a complete wuss and it's possible that you might never begin chasing your dream.
If you're ever going to become a Man of Action, you must accept this one fact:
The long term consequences of not going in the field are way more damaging to you
than any fight or any humiliation could ever be.
If you don't get off your ass ASAP and start applying what you've been studying, you may go
your entire life without succeeding with women. It happens to millions of men.
I realize that sometimes your fears can dictate your actions, that's why I'm trying to be real
with you here. Getting slapped by a girl or getting blown out a few hundred times is not
detrimental to your quality of life.
Spending the next ten years dicking around on the internet, wanting to meet women but never
going out to approach....now that's pretty detrimental.
Wasting away ten years of your life, with nothing to show for it, now that is truly terrifying.
Remember how dangerous this is. Remember how serious this is.
Please, for you own sake, don't let the next ten years pass you by without chasing your
dreams. Start now. Start today.
Stop kidding yourself. Reading on the Internet is not getting you anywhere.
I want to change the entire course of your development, and reading this report has been the
first step.
I've changed the lives of thousands of men. Some of them just need to take my workshop,
and it gives them the jump start they need to do serious work on their game.
Other guys don't do a workshop, they work within the elegant structure of the 30/30 Club. It's
a cost effective way to grow your game.
Whether we end up working together or not, I wish you the best of luck in your journey, and I
hope you don't end up becoming just another Casualty of the Information Age.
