What if they're a nerd?

depends on your definition of nerd.

in fact no it doesnt scrap that

they should still follow the advice

...but still remain genuine in how the do it?

Fine line I guess.

In fact, pretty much all of PU is "Do this, but not too much, and certainly don't do this". It's almost entirely contradictory.

It's confusing enough for new guys without the BS code.

when we talk about nerds are we meaning those Spock-type logical thinkers who tend to over-think and over-analyze things and have a tendancy to take what is said too literally or just guys with a lack of confidence? or aspects of both maybe?

personally I can relate to this and I feel that the PUA industry exists to feed this type of mindset. sort of like giving free alcohol to an alcoholic whilst telling him that they are helping to improve his life!

I feel lucky to have found this forum as the guys here have a way of cutting through all the bollocks being peddled in some other places. to any 'nerds' reading this, what you get on this forum may not be what you want to hear, but thats what is good about it. so I say forget the crap and the PUA lingo you may have previously been exposed to and open your mind to what the guys on here have to say

I think it all comes down to common sense. I sometimes find amusing to use some of the lingo, in particular the word chode. As a newbie I took it all fairly seriously and felt on the forums I had to use the 'code'. Today I use the lingo to self-amuse and satirize the seriousness of it all.

chode isnt PUA lingo tho

Thanks for that Phil.

ur welcome.

Like kino, the word chode may have roots elsewhere, but to our community it means, well, what it means. These words have evolved and branched off to take a new meaning. What they mean in the Collins English dictionary has no bearing here. This is pickup lingo ya get meh.
