Please God, grant me MAD SKILLZ!!

Ah, that old gem "just be yourself". There is an essay that I think might be a girl's PhD thesis floating around the web somewhere, in which she desribes that remark as "famously useless advice". That's because the people receiving it don't know what it means. I'd go a step further and suggest that the people giving that adivce also don't really know what it means. They are probably just repeating something they heard someone else say, perhaps in real life or just in a holywood movie.

I think I finally understand what "just be yourself" really means, but only after years of studying psychology and PUA theory, and going out and chatting with hundreds of women and then analysing the outcome later on. What it really means is:

Just cast aside all of your fears, anxieties, approval-seeking, inhibitions, memories of negative past experiences, socially-learned behaviours that repel women (e.g. people-pleasing)... and also let go of all outcome-dependence... and be your absolute best self (e.g. confident, dominant, charming, humorous, playful)... oh and remember to escallate physically - but you must do it naturally, even though you probably came from a family that is distant and "hands-off".

"Just be yourself" is almost like layman's speak for "Just become totally self-actualised". If only it were that easy (or even possible!)...

Fair enough!

Perfect pitch.

I always wished I was really really good at something. There is just something ineffably cool about true mastery. In chronological order, here are the areas in which I wished I had MAD SKILLZ!

1) Making loads of money
2) Seducing hot women to have sex with me
3) BMX freestyle (park and street)
4) Martial Arts for self defence
5) Something creative such as making original music or artwork
