If you have trouble with pickup this is the pinpoint

[StarStruck]

Pickup is natural. Most people don't even have to learn it because they learn it in kindergarten: it is called "play"!

If you a hard time, it is most likely because you don't know how to play in the broadest sense of the word. Another word for play is learning. You learn through playing. And this can't be learned from a book.

Yes, there is a field called game theory and it can be applied to dating and many other fields. But game in its fundamentals is more of an art than a science.

If are not good at playing, the process should be about removing the stuff within yourself that is sabotaging it, rather than adding stuff which makes stuff more clocked up. Creating the right circumstances for play is paramount, which is power rather than force. Play can be forced, rather it must be cultivated which is an art.

A lot of pickup material doesn't address this key point. I think pickup stuff is still useful though because they give you some structure, exercises and infields which cuts the learning curve.

RSD transformation somewhat focuses on this: letting go of stuff and cleaning up the consciousness so you can be in the now and thus be spontaneous and high energy.
