Yes, but this is true for every system. Very few people here actually
understand any of the systems correctly.

Right. If you don't close her at all, it is only a sarge. If you at least
contact close her and she doesn't flake, then it is a PU. But, IMO, you must
actually f-close her to call it a seduction. A few posts ago I mentioned
that the definition of seduction, according to Webster, means inducing a
woman to have sex with you. Unless you are 100% sure that she would have
done so and for some reason you were the one that decided not to do it, then
you can't call it a seduction. Even then, I tend to think that it is
marginal.

You know, it is amazing how people on this board are often coming to same
conclusions simultaneously. I almost started a new thread on a very similar
subject a couple of days ago.
The way I see it, a big problem with ASF is people here spend too much time
trying to play someone else's game. They try to be Mystery, but they have
never met him, or they try to be David DeAngelo, but they don't know what
he does, or they try to someone else who might have a good game but
has a completely different personality from the reader. It is much better to
spend your time thinking about what you want to do in any given situation.
Play your own game.

ASFers can be very vocal in insisting that you always do things their way,
but once you get out in the field you have to move beyond that and think for
yourself. What works for someone else might not work for you, and, most
likely, it doesn't even work for the original author in all situations. You
have to be flexible, not dogmatic.
