Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org.

And in this episode, I'm going to rant against the pickup community.

And if you're a guy who's involved in pickup, this is a must watch episode for you. You selfish, narcissistic, dishonest, fuck. You are so fucking busted right now.

Watch and listen as I burst your little bubble of pickup bullshit.

Despite what it sounds like, I'm about to make some very nuanced psychological points about pickup.

I'm going to give you a very accurate character profile of people who do pick up and of yourself if you're involved in pick up.

And what you're not aware of yet is you're not aware of the deeper psychological

principles at play that are driving you to do pickup in the way that you do.

And in a sense, what I can offer you is I can offer you a glimpse into your future and a glimpse

into yourself in a deeper way than you can offer yourself.

In a sense, I know you better than you know yourself.

So one warning that I want to give you here right off the bat is you need to be extremely

self-honest here.

Because there's a lot of potential for self-deception.

Be very self-honous as you're listening to me now and be very open-minded because some of the things I'm going to tell you are going to go

against the grain of what you've been learning over the last few years. So one really big lie of the PUA community in general is something

like this and you've probably heard this a lot is that mainstream society rags on PUAs and pickup and basically it

doesn't understand us. Pick up is no good to mainstream society, but mainstream society it rags on

pickup for no good reason, right? Isn't that what the pickup community has told you? It's something like, well, they don't understand us. They don't understand. If they understood, if they really got involved and really saw what's going on here and they saw how much I'm growing and how much I'm learning and all this good that's happening

Then they would totally change their mind about pickup

Now this is a big load of horseshit

Big load of horseshit. Big load of horseshit. Big lie of the PEO community. And there's many actually good reasons and valid reasons for why mainstream society frowns upon pickup.
