I don't mean internalisation of PU technique and philosophy specifically, more
a mindset that you keep, where PU is part of your lifestyle. 'playboy
lifestyle' is open to interpretation, but if you mean a lifestyle where you
often talking hot chicks, then that is exactly what I mean. :)

Intentionally is ok but I don't think it's a good thing to have the mentality
that it's only done intentionally at distinct times (oh it's Friday and it's
9pm, I am a PUA until 2am when I become AFC again and my taxi turns into a
pumpkin).

Yeah true.

True, although if no girls were in one thousand miles I guarantee I would not
shave as often. :) But basically my point is that where it's part of your
lifestyle then decent grooming should just come naturally all the time, not
just at sarging time.

Yes, that's it exactly. Like how people spiral into depression when they take
on the mindset that depression is part of their lifestyle, i.e. they are a
'depressed person' instead of a person who happens to be depressed at that
time. So that mindset leads to other things, I'm a depressed person so I walk
slouched, look sad etc. Works for good stuff too might as well take advantage
of it, it's clearly a pretty effective system given the prevenlace of
depression and other such things that are born of a mindset.

Bingo, you are definitely with me here which is great because I'm not always
good at explaining things.

Basically, this is the best way I find to view it. It's not like there is any
pressure or compulsion to be constantly sarging or else bad things will happen
to your game, it's just what you do. That's not to say that you should not do
100 sets a week if that's what you like to do.

Yes this is a good point that I did not think of. A point Spirit made to me
clarifying what I said better, is that PU is PART of your lifestyle, not your
whole lifestyle. But I agree that looking at it like this does not imply you
should be getting a certain result or at a certain level therefore it can be
applied by anyone. Again, not to say you can't set goals or push yourself if
you want to: the main thing is the mentality behind it.
Thanks for the replies dudes.
