Pick Up Artist - Social Awareness

Social Awareness

The various aspects of social networking are of great interest to people and especially women, including status, reputation, competition, and alignments and pair bonds.

Discretion is a virtue
When she says, "not here," you say, "I understand."
A woman's reputation directly influences her social status. This is why women are easier to get into bed when they are on vacation — they are more likely to indulge in an adventure for which they trust there are no social consequences. This is also why women are appreciative of men who understand and practice discretion.

A venusian artist will never brag about his sexual conquests. If you do, not only will it eventually get back to her, but any other woman who hears it will also be on notice that sexual relations with you carry social consequences. So, for example, when you obtain a phone number from a woman, don't walk straight over to your friends and be seen high-fiving them enthusiastically.

Anti-Slut Defense
The word 'Slut' is a weapon that women use against other women
Women have a powerful interruption mechanism known as anti-slut defense,
or ASD. Not only does she prefer to avoid having others perceive her as a slut, which would pose dire consequences to her social status, but also she wants to avoid the discomfort of feeling like a slut. Thus she has the ASD interrupt mechanism to help her avoid this fate.

ASD is what makes a girl blurt out 'I have a boyfriend' (whether she actually does or not) — because you escalated faster than she was comfortable with.

Time in the field will eventually improve your calibration to the point where you can escalate without activating her ASD. Chapter 6 describes how to escalate smoothly through the use of false disqualifiers.
