Goldilocks

A friend of mine was sharing a blog post about a fictional character, Goldilocks, who is out walking one day and runs into 3 Pick Up Artists who approach her and try their hand each at a version of gaming that will result in Goldilocks deciding to go to Mel's diner with the 3 of them. The object of the Pick Up is that someone will end up sleeping with Goldilocks. You can view it here

There is a whole movement of men who are seeking self improvement through the motivation that to do so will increase their skills at picking up women. My time in researching the movement has led me to understand that men are finding the "art of the pick up" to hold a number of promises for them. The art of pick up is taught by other men who have themselves, realized that they had a particular gift of seduction. It's being taught at top dollar prices. Why? Because most men are feeling lost and wounded when they find the advertising that promises them they will be able to regain control over women and have women eating out of the palm of their hands and purring like kittens in their beds. Most men really, really, really want a woman to be purring in their beds and those that want it more than others, sometimes turn to Pick Up as their path towards discovering how to do that.

Vignettes of love... not the depth of love over time... but moments of seeing someone else as they want to be seen and experienced... Living life as a flow of meaningful or meaningless ,short term, sexually gratifying, mutually desired arrangements between strangers.

The complexities of these kinds of meetings are all that anyone wants to assign to them and there are plenty that abound. Non monogamous relationships with many, many, many multiple partners over years?

Life is what you make of it. I've tried to judge this world of sexual diversity as hard as I can and to no avail. Every time I think I have found something I can hold onto as a reason for why a person shouldn't do something or should, it collapses and I am bound to see something perfect in what others are up to. Again, life is what you make it... it's my ability to serve my own highest good that matters at the end of the day...

For men involved in the game, (which is also a book and a tv show on VH1, The Game) the art of pick up fractalizes out in many different directions, in fact, because some men have been gaining ground on deeper self worth and self value, they have doubled back and decided to advertise to new men looking into Pick Up in a style that is more befitting of very sexy self growth spiritually inclined pick up mastery.

Gaining on one's authentic self happens when the men take the coaching and create their own hybrid version of The Pick Up. Another thing to know about the Pick Up world is it has become a very lucrative industry, men have become very creative in their approach the way that women who sell sex or sensuality have become very good at making a unique offer from the same base line intention.

The fractals of the pick up reach out to men who have the perception that they've been dumped on, mistreated, undervalued, dogged, kicked to the curb, mentally and emotionally abused, sexually frustrated... you name... guys go through their own version of hell at the hands of a woman they attract into their lives and... sooner or later, the lid blows.

In the end, it is all simply based on finding oneself in a state of not feeling good and wanting to feel good again. The basic formula for most break ups is that, in the end, it doesn't feel good... however it happens... unless the formula is somehow altered... and this too is part of what the world of Pick Up is toying with... how to change the formula so that what happens between men and women feels good without the overbearing, overwhelming troughs of not feeling good.

My friend Swami Nitra (otherwise known as Mouna Mushrooms) says it this way, "People are bringing their painbodies together and calling it, Falling in Love". I have to smile when I hear that one! How TRUE! YIKES!

I'm tempted to post one guy's story here... the, my girlfriend left me story that unfolded into his journey as a top PUA, but I won't until I have his permission and his well wishes. No need to stir up trouble... or create more confusion. His story is like most of our stories... it is my story... I got hurt by X and so now, Y is going to make me feel better. The basic idea is a good one except that what's been stirred up by X is going to repeat and transfer and reinvent itself in Y, A, B, C, and so on until a shift in consciousness happens and is integrated...

Repeating the shift in consciousness and integration becomes a path one walks and the path of the Pick Up Artist, Seduction Artist is committed to ... _______________________
well...
I'm going to leave this blank for now but you can fill it in yourself...
because it doesn't matter what the path of the Pick Up Artist is to them.

Rather it is what does it bring up in you?
