The Pigeon Hole Principle & How it Relates to The Game
Well gentlemen, the past few weeks I have been taking some rather drastic steps to build value. The results, as predicted have been positive. Plans I have outlined for the future will also bring greater success. Not a moment of sarging is even required as I have done none! And… I hope you guys have made similar plans to build your perceived value over the next few months if not years. Which leads me to the main point I want to make. This is perhaps the hardest aspect to overcome as we travel on the path to PUA’s. The subject of this post is quite simply: Change.
Luckily for myself I have only had a moderate amount of resistance when changing my image from lower value to higher value. However, it was/is not an easy road. Why is then that we are so adverse to changing our image, habits, and actions for the better? Some suggest that it is largely part of our brain and that we posses regions that constantly reference the past (similar to reptiles). Survival perhaps? While we might be very past based in our genetic makeup, I disagree that this is the main contributing factor. The principle I have researching is known as the pigeon hole principle. This principle states that individuals form very quick and concrete perceptions about you and that these are very hard to alter. So you might ask… How does this relate to change? Well, if you have portrayed yourself as an AFC in front of others and your peers then they will treat you as such. Thus, reinforcing your AFC behavior. Even when you make a push to change, they will still have the same perceptions about you and still treat you as an AFC even if you are acting as a PUA. Which leads right to regression. Have you ever noticed yourself changing and found that you only slip back into the way you were previously? That frustrated state? This is why.
So the ultimate takeaway point here is: People treat you based on how they perceive/have perceived you. This causes you to be influenced by the way they treat you. So if you’ve been treated like an AFC by other’s then you will most likely exhibit this behavior. This is a very dangerous cycle that we get caught up in and must break. My suggestion to break this cycle is to alter people’s perception of you by the following: Changing your clothing style, your physical movements (walk like an AMOG), the way you talk, your overall physical demeanor, and anything else which relates to your perceived value. There are tons out there that I can’t think of right now…
And most importantly: BUILD VALUE!!!
Forget Sargin~ Building Value is Key
So it was just the other night that I was struck with another one of my revelations. We need to prioritize, first things first and it goes something like this- How many attempts have we made to pickup chicks at bars and other venues? Then consider- how many were successful versus how many were not? Chances are that our success rate could be as low as 1%. In addition, what defines success? Is it a number close or perhaps a date? Regardless, the variable underlying success following this 1% is even less. I am about to introduce you guys to a concept that has never been considered in the realm of sargin’ (well at least not between us). The concept is conversion. That is, what our success rate is based on the number of attempts and more specifically what is the optimal way to increase such a figure… Well, if our way would have it we could continue to sarge until we gain a marginal amount of success. But after a year of being in the field I have found that no matter how many times you sarge won’t mean shit if you don’t have value. Value is key here guys. And I fear we have wasted our time in bars because we are missing this one key ingredient. My proposal for us to move further is to not focus on so much, the art of picking up chicks but rather on doing things which build value for us. For instance: working out, educating yourself in something interesting, doing a martial art, taking cooking classes, dance class, earning money to buy nice clothes and groom yourself well, the list goes on and on… I think this is a new and innovative approach plus it should be a sigh of relief for many of us who face anxiety with this type of practice. Given enough time to build value you will find many unique opportunities open up to meet women and in addition, many women will come to you! I like this new approach becuase I feel as if its more natural, less stressful, and more successful in the long run. So get out there and start having interesting experiences which prove your value! And a reminder for all of us- Don’t just sit around and wank… 1-up?
