So, guys, Derek, moreplace smart days.com. Today we're going to be talking about why you need to get the PUA phase of your life done as soon as possible.

So a lot of people, that word is kind of a joke, realistically pick up artists. It is just my way of defining the phase of your life where you give a shit about partying, getting tons of girls, dating around, you know know you're not trying to build a family
