It is called “The Sweet Science.” Its legends are characters known for their skill, charisma, and flamboyance. It has produced figures known as often by their given names as by their nicknames ” names like Sugar, Sweet P, Hitman, Pretty Boy, and Macho. In their world, the “greats” travel with entourages and take over a room with the swagger of a rock star. Those aren’t the only similarities the sport of boxing shares with the world of pick-up.
A movie chronicling the life story of boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward, and starring mega-stars Mark Wahlberg and Brad Pitt, is set to begin production this year ( http://www.variety.com/VR1117972382.html ). Ward was solidified in boxing history via his three wars with Arturo “Thunder” Gatti. The ninth round of their first fight, and the fight itself, are considered by many boxing historians as the “Round of The Century” and the “Fight of The Century,” respectively. What makes a fighter who never won a major title so exciting that two of Hollywood’s biggest stars agree to take major roles in his cinematic biography? Ward’s strength wasn’t in his punching power or speed. It wasn’t in his tactical brilliance or defense. Ward was a great fighter because of his seemingly endless store of energy. Ward’s unique brilliance was his ability to take massive damage (and even be knocked down) at the hands of the greatest fighters in the world and still keep coming . . . to win. His indomitable will and the strength of his physical frame made Mickey Ward a legend.
In terms of pick-up, your greatest asset is the strength of your “frame” (-of-mind), often referred to in the seduction community as having “inner game.” While an arsenal of routines, which can be delivered as rapid fire combinations (routine stacking), or memorizing hundreds of canned “counter punches” in the form of answers to “shit tests” may contribute to your success, nothing will make you a legend in the field like a rock-solid frame. A PUA with tight inner game rarely finds use for pages and pages of canned material, as his mere ability to be truly present in any interaction and environment builds electrifying attraction and immediate comfort in those around him. While there are no shortage of DVDs, seminars, and boot camps available to any aspiring PUA who wants to observe, learn, and practice various techniques in the field, instruction and advice on how to build an ultra-strong alpha male frame is sorely lacking and is glossed over, if covered at all, in the curriculum of the vast majority of “seduction gurus.” Legends, in pick-up as in boxing, are measured not by the power in their fists, but by the strength of their will. In the next installments of this column, we will dissect the components of a powerful frame as well as cover the specific actions (training) that any individual can take in order to practice “The Sweet Science” of changing their internal reality into one that awes and inspires women and men alike.
