I don’t think a pickup bootcamp is the best use of your time and money.

This isn’t an attack on PUA’s, I’ve got no beef with anybody and I’m a creator not a hater.

However I want my guys to get the best possible information and I’m not a fan of the bootcamp model.

Check out the audio, video and notes below to see why you shouldn’t take a bootcamp and what to do instead:

Why You Shouldn’t Take A Pickup Bootcamp

1) Cost

• $2000, that’s 10 months rent for a mid level place in Chiang Mai
• That’s an entire, fresh new wardrobe
• That’s runway for launching your business
• That’s four years of membership at the gym
• Unless you’re wealthy, you can’t afford to spend $2k on learning to pick up girls

2) Unmanaged Expectations

• Dunning-Kruger effect, states people of low competence unable to recognize people of high competence
• Difficult for low skilled guys to manage expectations – pickup companies play into this
• You’re a sexual salesman, 90% of your results come from your product – you
• The other 10%, at most come from your salesmanship – your game
• Most effective way to get better women is to max out your SMV – however there are genetic limits
• Managed expectations – you get girls in your league, game is the means to do that, that’s all

3) Unneccesary, Unnatural And Often Counterproductive Theories, Techniques And Mindsets

• Overly aggressive techniques that might get your ass kicked
• Mechanical routines/gambits (some companies still teach this stuff)
• Outdated evo/psych-theory (rehashed year 2k Mystery Method stuff)
• Negative views on women
• Overemphasis on structuring life around getting laid/being a PUA

4) Overemphasis On Night Game

• The night club is the worst place to get laid – yet the focus of most bootcamps
• Day game or online game are much more efficient and yield better results
• With increasing prevalence of online game, cold approach is not even necessary to build a harem

5) Not Adressing Students’ Core Issues/Problems With Women

• Success with women is base on habits, lifestyle and SMV – and these things take time
• Conversation, timing, social EQ, dressing well, fitness – all major factors not helped in a weekend
• If you’re broke, jobless, overweight and living in mom’s basement – that needs to be addressed first
• Bootcamp high – creates illusion of progress from fighting fear but short lived
• Serious training means lifestyle/mental issues need to be seriously addressed

Exceptions

As always there are always exceptions:

If you’re a wealthy, well adjusted guy in decent health, in your early 30’s who who has money to blow, and you only have one or two sticking points – go for it.

If you just want to go out with some guys who are really good and just need a bit of tweaking and a push to approach go for it.

For everyone else here’s what you should do instead:

What You Should Do Instead

1) Make Use Of Free Information

• There is an absolute wealth of free information these days, you can start with my women section
• Especially important if you’re young and money is tight
• Watch Youtube Videos, read articles, get in shape, get your style together and approach
• If you’re consistent you can get everything you need for free

2) Hire Someone Who Is Local, Legit And Reasonable

• That means a good looking guy, with good, legit content who charges $100/$200/hr
• You also want a guy who will manage your expectations – not sell you a dream
• Hire him for an hour or two to tighten up your game/sticking points
• Do this only after you’ve committed to a lifestyle of getting women
• Just like you only hire a trainer after you’ve committed to a lifestyle of fitness
• Then maybe check in again six months later with new problems/progress
