Tao of P.U.- The Owl Mindset

Hey guys sorry it’s been a while since my last post but I’ve been really busy working on some new material. I’ll be sharing it with you guys after the Tao of P.U. series and also just got done with a LA bootcamp.  I had an incredible time there and was so proud to have every one of my students get a number and one even got laid during the weekend!  Anyways on to today’s topic…

 We look to those who have the most information for answers.  We seek out guru’s and teachers who have vast amounts of knowledge and are very well learned in the art of pick up and seduction.  However as the founder of Taoism teaches “The wise are not learned, and the learned are not wise.”  The Owl mindset is one many guys in this community have, where it’s all about obtaining vast amounts of information on a subject and repetitive analyzing.  One expression that’s been used for these types of people here are “Key Board Jockies” though the Owl’s out there fit this description and more.  The main difference between a key board jockie and Owl is that Owl’s can actually go in field, though usually they end up talking about game instead of actually doing it.  Even though they have all the knowledge and go out at times these Owl’s still might not be getting good simply because their brain gets in the way. Because of this the deeper and broader realizations of game are simply out of reach.

Owl’s tend to categorize game and put things in little compartments.  We see a tendency of this with very strict and complex pick up structures and also with elaborate routines that are usually not even needed.  The Owl’s would much rather learn intellectually and indirectly from books rather then from Pick Up teachers and even more importantly first hand experience.  Because an Owl doesn’t put social skills and pick up into practice every day he also tends to explain pick up by leaving out important details…such as how and why things work and in what situations you can apply them. 

The thing about Owl’s in this community is that they study the knowledge out there…just for the sake of knowledge.  There’s either to much fear or not enough desire to actually go out and apply anything.  These Owl’s will study everything under the sun then wright pompous and pretentious posts that noone can understand or relate to, rather then writing to inspire and work for the benefit of others.  Usually these posts have crazy complex jargon or big words because they need names for everything.  They basically get off on ego strokes about how smart and clever they are.  Often the knowledge that Owl’s share is hard to understand because it doesn’t match with our own experience.  This then is the key thing, the knowledge that comes from experience, not from book and analyzing things, is the only knowledge worth knowing.  Without experience you might as well be a blind man describing the sun!

So how do we avoid falling into the Owl mindset?  The answer is to game all the time and to everyone.  When I say “gaming” I also don’t mean trying to be manipulative and a social robot, what I mean is actively being social and getting experience interacting with others.  You should be gaming the manager of the grocery store so that every week you get free eggs, the old lady on the bus to brighten her day, the guy behind you waiting on line for the movies that you become friends with and turns out is a photographer and knows tons of models, and yes the hot girl at the club. 

So here’s your homework.  Put down the books, turn off the computer, put on some clothes, shake off the cobwebs, and actually go outside and experience life.  Gain some first hand experience.  Go out and instead of trying to “pick up” just begin meeting people.  Don’t analyze this, don’t make long complex lists detailing how many approaches you’ll do and how long you’ll be out…just go out and enjoy yourself.  The more time you think the less time you take action.

Hope this helps,
