Pickup artist

constantly trying to manipulate women, even when you don't even like them, when a normal guy would just be relaxed. Guys become addicted to the validation of women. I used to frown upon guys who drank and smoked weed in order to "feel good", until I realized that I got to a point where unless I made out with one or two women when I went out, I would consider that a bad night. Doesn't anyone else see how unhealthy thinking like this is? I get emails from guys who are miserable, because they aren't getting the hottest girls on campus. Dating the hottest girls on campus is awesome - but being miserable because you aren't? Of course let's not forget how difficult it becomes to just chill out and be monogamous after joining the community... 2. Pickup Skills Don't Equal Social Skills Think of it like this, in tenth grade geometry, I learned that a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. In the real world pick up skills equal social skills, but social skills do not equal pick up skills. Social skills are a much broader concept. Knowing how to seduce a woman, unfortunately, will not solve your life's problems. A common symptom that I've seen and heard from other guys on campus, is that after joining the seduction community, they have a very hard time making friends with guys. Why is this occurring? Because the seduction community doesn't cover a chapter on how to be a chill guy (although several people teach how to steal a cool guy's girlfriend). This has been…

finally brushing my teeth. At seven o’clock my father walked into the kitchen and began filling his thermos as I walked out of the bathroom. “Let’s go” he said, immediately cueing me to put on my shoes and head toward his white Ford pickup. “Wanna drive?” he asked. “Sure” I responded. I closed the door, pushed the clutch and brake pedal, and turned the key causing the engine to roar to life with an occasional rattle from the exhaust. I released the parking brake and we slowly began to roll down…

from society’s standards and restraints in order to be individually successful. Throughout my life, I have seen the difficulties an artist must endure in order to be successful in the typical sense. However, I have also learned that success can come in many different forms and can be attained through many different methods. This work you are reading is a different type of art for me. It is the art of wisdom I have obtained throughout my life and now have the opportunity to share with a new…

us to connect with the past. Artists present society with a plethora of viewpoints and subjects to think about and every artist has a different style. Art can be a variety of things from sculpture to painting to photography, but at what extent does art become offensive? One of the most controversial religious pieces within the art world is Andres Serrano’s, “Piss Christ," a photograph that displays a cross submerged in the artist's own urine. When first displayed in 1987 at the Stux Gallery in…

It is a fact that artists create, whether through written mediums, visual arts, or music, based on their experiences in life. An artist is someone making a commitment to submit their self to society, exposing themselves and being vulnerable by merging their creative energy into things of beauty and meaning, writers present a part of themselves that only they can waken into being. Within the process of creating art, an individual takes inspiration from all that they are surrounded with and a big…

fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art." (Dreishpoon, 2013). A platform that allows creativity and commerce to co-exist and for art to be business and vice versa is Etsy. Etsy was created in 2005 and has over forty million members which include more than one million sellers that sell handmade or vintage items (Krugh, 2014). While Etsy is a growing platform that provides artists with a creativity outlet and an opportunity to…

Famous pop artist Andy Warhol once said, “I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough it loses all its meaning.” On the contrary, art still can convey a clear meaning no matter how many times it is experienced. The time period from the mid-20th century to now especially has spawned a plethora of meaningful visual art. Concepts like consumerism in the 50s to 60s, the Vietnam War in the 70s, and graffiti from the 80s to now all contain art that connects to the past through presenting the…

How does this piece of art/artifact or its artist deepen the understanding of the cultural, political, and historical time it was created? 2. Examine the people and/or goals (THE BAD GUYS) whose actions result in the devastating consequences for both people and treasures that have been taken. 3. Investigate the life of the famous…

The Elasticity between an Artist and his Art An artist is his work, and thus uses the medium to express emotion and their state of being. Art is an expression of the will and feelings of the artist and thusly are subconsciously intertwined to form a beautiful blend of the material and immaterial. The argument can be made that an artist can represent himself one way through his art and contrast drastically in the real world. I firmly believe that an artist does not have to represent his true…

Identity is made up of who people are and characteristics that define them. Overtime, artists express the concept of identity through portraits, self-portraits, photography, videography and many more medias. The concept of identity is popular with many artists as it allows them to write their own story through art and to express whom they truly are and to not be trapped into whom society thinks they are. Identity is the way we perceive and express ourselves. Circumstances and factors that an…
