From ATC to IOI: Top 10 Terms You Need to Know in the Pickup Community
“Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.”
– Immanuel Kant
Welcome to the first edition of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Seduction (But Were Afraid to Ask!). This series is designed to help you expand your wisdom in the world of attraction and seduction. As I said in a previous post, women love men with knowledge, so the more you know, the more powerful you become. Anything related to wisdom and knowledge (wits, talents, special abilities, knowing what women want, etc.) makes you a superior man.
My mission is to turn you into an information magnet, attracting everything positive and repelling everything negative. There is no point in wasting time with information and emotions that do not make you a superior man (example: the many, many books to pick up that are an absolute waste of time). So I’m going to help you attract the information YOU need to know, to get the girls you want!
To do that, I will share my favorite websites for quality information. Here you can learn all the things you should do… and all the things you shouldn’t do!
Much of the seduction community focuses on terms, initials, and euphemisms. There’s IOI, DHV, denial, arrogant funny, inner coward, ATC, frame control, you name it, there’s a term for that. Knowing these terms is not crucial, but the meaning of the terms themselves is very special knowledge. For example, you don’t necessarily need to know that ATC stands for Artificial Time Restriction, but understanding the concept of spending only limited time with women before taking off is invaluable.
Urbandictionary.com is a great website to sort through all the terms. Check it out at: UrbanDictionary.com.
Enjoy and remember: knowledge is only as good as putting it into action. Follow the example of Kahlil Gibran:
“A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than a lot of idle knowledge.”
Here is just a sampling of the informative (and often amusing) terms found on this website:
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
Love
“It is often confused with falling in love with teenagers, college students, and even supposedly mature people. Love is not the often associated chemical reaction that has similar effects on the brain as cocaine, nor is it the inability to be without that person for one day”.
-OMG! I am soooo in love with Brad Pitt!!
-No you are not. You just want his little wang. You don’t even know him!
-*Cries* No, I’ll marry him! I’m going to go home and fantasize about him! *cries and runs away*
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
cinema
“The act of making flirtatious physical contact with a person of sexual interest. It is generally considered a vital tool in one’s ‘game belt’.”
I hope I can get some action using a bit of kino on the checkers tonight.
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
Oneitis
“It is often confused with love, this is the feeling that a particular woman is really special. This is just an illusion; she is equal to the other three or more billion.” ‘Go fuck ten other women’ is the most commonly prescribed treatment for this ‘illness’ (hence the ‘itis’), as it tends to show quite quickly how much alike people are.
In other words, get over yourself and your obsession with that girl, because it’s just an illusion. And when you get rejected, don’t get depressed. Because there really isn’t much to worry about.”
Dude, you definitely have oneitis for that girl. You’ve been talking about her nonstop for the last week. Don’t you realize that she is nothing special and that you are just being deceived? Get off her so you don’t get so down when she rejects you!
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
negative
“A light insult wrapped in a plugin package. Used by pick-up artists to gain and hold the attention of women of unusual beauty (9+). These women are immune to standard plugins.”
the classic black
pua – “you have beautiful nails, are they real?”
(9+) – “not really”
pua – “Oh, I guess it’s still cool”
pua – “that’s so cute, your nose moves when you talk”
(9+) – “no it doesn’t”
pua – “ha ha, there it goes again, sorry, it’s really cute”
“I kept throwing neg after neg on that 10 by the bar and she loved it, she was giving me crazy kino”
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
DHV
“Noun: Demonstration of greater value
Verb: Demonstrate greater value
Presentation that will increase your value in the opinion of your audience.”
I related a funny and arrogant joke as DHV.
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
AMOG
“alpha male of the group
A guy who everyone thinks is cool and who is always the social center of the room.”
Bob: Dude, why is everyone crowding around that shower bag?
Me: Because it’s a total AMOG
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
beta male
“A discreet and careful man who avoids risk and confrontation. Beta males lack the physical presence, charisma and confidence of the alpha male.”
Pete knew he was losing the girl he’d just met at the bar to the guy who bought him a drink, but he was too beta male to do anything about it.
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
sarging
“Verb; to Sgt.
The act of entering into a conversational relationship with a complete stranger.
Although linked to the pickup community as the official name for being “on the hunt,” the term is also applied in business and interpersonal relationships, as the act of appearing competent and socially versatile.
Credit to Ross Jeffries, who claims to have named the act after his cat.”
in seduction:
“My wingman and I went out to fight last night at the X club.”
other:
“The goal in business is to talk to your co-workers as soon as you start working there. It’s a quick way to appear competent!”
UrbanDictionary.com Definition of…
mPUA
“Master pickup artist.
Used to refer to someone who has achieved legendary status within the ‘Pick Up Artist’ community. Originally used to refer only to Neil Strauss, aka Style. Mentioned in Strauss’s book ‘The Game'”.
Man Style kept eight girls moving, he really is an mPUA.
And now, my personal favorite definition…
Friendship
“A method of throwing men without using sharp objects.”
From David DeAngelo’s article:
She looked at him with compassion in her eyes and said, “Thank you… I’m serious… but I don’t want to spoil our friendship… you’re too important to me…”
Now that is something you definitely want to avoid! And if you want to make sure the words “just friends” never enter your eardrums again, visit the place that turns men from all over the world from “just friends” to “masters of seduction”:
