What Phil is saying is don't rely on routines.

If you build confidence in situations in which you are socially uncomfortable so that you do not have to use routines then you will grow as a person, not just a PUA. Routines are just a mask that makes you look confident and only work on weak minded girls where you will never grow as a person but always be a shallow man chasing a shag...

Watch a seminar called "blueprint decoded" by RSD or real social dynamics. It's notthe be all and end all of pickup and pop psychology but if you go out, enjoy yourself, try things and make mistakes you become a confident powerful person because you overcome that fear and realised some of your potential

People who stick to routines do so because they feel they have nothing to offer girls (or other people), an self depricating DLV of sorts...
