I'm talking about before you read The Game or any PUA, red pill etc... type of stuff. Maybe your dad, or an older friend or relative with natural abilities gave you advise. (I did try searching this topic and didn't find anything. If this has been discussed in depth before, please provide the link)

In high school, I had a Latino friend who was juggling multiple girls at pretty much any time. He said: "All girls are sluts." It's still a hard pill to swallow for me.

Also in high school, I had a French foreign exchange student. After seeing how I was interacting with girls, he told me (insert strong French accent): "Dude, don't change your way for fucking girls!"

This, interpreted correctly, is good advise. Sure, we are all improving ourselves to get girls. But, we are not changing who we are for any one particular girl. He was noticing how I came off as inauthentic and supplicating by changing my demeanor to what I thought would be pleasing to girls.

I'm sure there's more I've heard, but I'd be curious to know what solid advise y'all have gotten from older and/or more experienced naturals who never were exposed to the pickup stuff that we are all familiar with.

Older brother:

"At a critical moment in any negotiation (women or $) whoever speaks first loses."
- Good for pregnant pauses with girls during shit tests or possible arguments.

"You chose them, they don't choose you."
- Flip the script on girls, took me so much time after to implement.

"Don't care. Always be busy. Never answer your phone. Flake on the first date."
- Still never flaked on a first date lol.


Dad:

"Pick one thing and become the absolute best at it."
- Still looking to follow this advice as mastering a niche seems like the best odds to have the most control in life.

"Get wealthy."

"I want you to become President of the United States."
- He was for real when I was a kid. He wanted my sister to be an astronaut.


Player College Friend:

After saying at an upper classmen party that I was a freshman and these chicks wouldn't be interested:

"No one cares dude, just go talk to them."

This goes to the kind of advice I got when I was a kid.

Older brother (5 years) when I asked him (before I was shaving) how you know when to change the blade.

"Sometimes you just know."

Thanks bro. Asshole.

my grandfather, who advised that the best way to make progress is to be working while everyone else you know is asleep. By asleep he meant, literally, or figuratively. Even when its 'spring break' if you just put 1 or 2 days into a project you make incredible gains over your peers.

My dad who is retired British navy, served 33 years, said this to me.
He shared lots of nuggets of wisdom throughout my life

"Are your arms and legs still attached to you body? Are you still breathing? There's no excuse. There have been men who've had it a lot worse than you but get up everyday at 5am and accomplish more by 6am than most of the world in 7 days."

"Don't lie to the your men. They trust you to lead them to victory. Once they find out you've lied to them they'll never trust you again"

"A man should live and die by his word, because whether he's rich or poor that's the only thing that matters"

Mom
"Anything goes when it comes to hoes. Protect yourself at all times".

Grandfather
"Stupid women make stupid kids. Don't believe me, following a stupid kid home from school and you'll see a stupid woman answering the door".

Grandfather
"Never buy a woman shoes. Because when she walks out on you she'll probably be wearing those same shoes".

Grandma: "Play the field"
Granddad cheated on her left and right. So she always told me to play the field and never settle down. Not sure if I turned out the way I did just based on her advice, but from the time I was old enough to have a GF till now I haven't had a girl I haven't cheated on.

Granddad: "If something is worth doing its worth doing right"
Hes great and came from rags to riches. Was in his early 80s and still banging some 20 year olds up until he had a stroke. He taught me about business and helped me get my foot in the door so that now I can travel the world and basically never have to work again. I am very grateful for that. On the flip side he was a complete asshole.

My father told me when I was young:

"If you do something wrong and tell the truth about it, you've only done one thing wrong. If you lie about it, you've done two things wrong."

I think a cornerstone of being a man is accepting responsibility for your actions, good or bad. The worst thing to do is lie.

My dad quoted Pablo Castaneda when I decided to take up martial arts it still lingers in my head today and he texted me it again before a practice i had. He usually texts me alot of these qoutes whether i am going to practice or have test in school. A lot of these qoutes are about finding your path and i appreciate it since i am still trying to figure out which one i want to take.

"Most people you encounter in life think that the more they accumulate in life, the more stuff they have, means to *be*.

It's the other way around. In order to truly *have*, first you must *be*."

" Son, when there is a disturbance, hit it hard!"
That's what my grandfather said right before he smashed a cow with a sledgehammer in the head.

"work with your brain, not with your back" - this coming from the top dog foreman in the construction crew I worked on at age 20. The guy was a total prick, probably gave me some of the best advice I ever heard.

dad - "If you can't beat them with the truth, dazzle them with bullshit"

basically be a smooth talker.
