The underground world of Pick up artists (PUAs)

I've been reading alot lately about Pick Up Artists, joined some public/private communities of underground PUAs and there is a huge industry down below the eye of the surfer.

That's what I'll expose in my squidoo lens!

What's a Pick Up Artist?
I'm not sure if I should answer, but it's pretty obvious he's the guy that takes your girl away and makes out with her in a matter of minutes. He's the guy you are skeptical about having skills just because he doesn't need to look like Brat Pitt to get his pockets full of phone numbers. That's my own description about PUAs.

What makes him so special?
I have noticed that as time passes by more and more "gurus" appear in the domain using a completely different technique to attract and seduce women.
Basically what a PUA has over you, is the ability to play with other people's minds, specially women, they are very confident about themselves and he has alot of practice in Boot-Camps (that's how they call Discos,Bars etc..)

Routines..
are memorized techniques that usually work best on women, after you will read "The Game" - by Neil Strauss or "The Mystery Method" you'll find that using the same exact words on differite women, over and over and over again, it works! You just need to perfect it, and that's because women are not so attracted by the physical look (of course they are as well) but they are more into "Survive&Replicate", they just have to find the "perfect" guy, no matter how "sluttish" the woman is, she still needs a man to care for.

Example of routine: You go out with an Opener (an opening phrase) "Hey, can I get your opinion on something?" She: "Sure" He: "Okay, well, it's kinda delicate, my best friend has met this girl last night, she said she's a witch, of course he didn't believed her, but the day after that he just got awake from a strange dream, now he talks only about her, he's so much into her, is it mystical or just psychology? ... She: <something> + continue to build Confort, Seduction."

A1/2/3 - C1/2/3 - S1/2/3 where A stands for Approch, C for Confort, and S for seduction, and each 1/2/3 are levels with subdivisions on what to do, based on this scheme the PUAs create their routines.

Who is the best guru out there?
Well, I basically don't call them gurus because of my self-esteem but the first guy I learned how to PU was Mystery, by his name Erik Von Markovik, if you take a look at him, he dresses weird, he's so tall and well has a strange behavior but he's one of the world's greatest pickup artists in the world and everything he does is based on his routines, nothing is "just to be said".

Other people that claim to be very good, and perhaps are:
Style (Neil Strauss, author of the best seller "The Game" and Mystery's wing (a wing is a partner when they go out for women-hunt, hunt aka sarging).
Ross Jeffries (He's more into hypnotica than pure seduction art, he developed his own technique called Speed Seduction. It says that he's the inventor of the PUA community)
David DeAngelo (He's popular by his Cocky&Funny technique)
Swinggcat (An important PUA in the scene)
Tyler Durden (He developed the Real Social Dynamics, mostly in my opinion he has stolen from Mystery's life ideeas)
