Date Fails:

We have all heard before how PU can make guys worse at getting girls. In my relationship with Mouse, I know PU ideas fucked up a lot of things. On the other hand, without learning PU, I would have been to nervous to talk with her in the first place. The guys in these videos would probably never have approached.

Anyway, below you'll see specific examples of how PU can hurt you:

First video:

-He just kept spitting routines. If you must use routines, use them to start a conversation, not a monologue. You are trying to find out if YOU like the girl. So, you need HER to do most of the talking once you hook her. The girls in these videos are already hooked because they're doing a dating thing.

-The girl felt like she could not relate to him at all. Two people can only relate to each other if they are both talking.

-Don't have a huge ego. We do pick up. That's weird. It is. So, don't have a huge ego. :-)

-Don't open a girl with something completely irrelevant. Pre-open, greet her, make some observation about her - something to let the girl switch gears and get on the same page as you. Then you can do a routine if you wish. Otherwise, it seems random.

Second video:

-He was being elusive about his age for no reason. Plenty of girls make you guess what their age is. You don't have to copy them. It's a pretty simple question and it's a sign that the girl is at least trying for some sort of conversation.

...and that's just about the only gamey thing he did.
