Has # closed 10 girls, but all have the same number... 911.
Can't distinguish a flake from a real date...yet.
Stuck on doing canned openers, isn't aware that openers can be dynamic.
Has turned "Shit!, I fucked it up again!" into his "preferential" recurrent chorus. But hey, at least he's in first line of fire!
Is actively working his way to be a GPUA-2 / RAFC.
A RAFC (Recovering Average Frustrated Chump) [GPUA-2]
Is able to notice falling into the one-itis trap, but is able to control himself in order to move forward.
Takes everything he's learned as rAFC and begins to take real actions.
Knows what the Universal Opener is but still doesn't know its power.
Knows how to get a lot of number closes and is happy about it...until he finds out firsthand how flaky almost all women can be.
Has stopped kicking himself over mistakes in the field.
Is on his way to curing himself of all aspects of one-itis.
Is actively working his way to be a GPUA-3 / GPUA.
A GPUA (Green Pick-UP Artist) [GPUA-3]
Is approaching as many women as he can.
Is contact closing regularly and finally understands the flake dichotomy....and deals with it properly when he does encounter it.
Can post interesting field reports and is enthusiastic for feedback when he does.
Is starting to pull off dynamic openers.
Is happy to be constantly learning from his mistakes.
Is finally cured of all past one-itis, is able to detect the onset of it...and stops it dead in its tracks.
Has gotten his first lay (with a HB6+ chick) without much dependence on luck - working it almost entirely through his conscious actions...and is well on his way to banging more with the same repeat of skill.
Honestly believes for the first time he is already becoming a PUA.
Can reasonably PU in "street" environme[nts (not just bar, club, or party)...but may not prefer it (meaning, he has the CHOICE/OPTION).
Is able to provide useful advice to others on their path to improvement.
Is actively working his way to be a PUA.
PUA Levels
A PUA / Natural (Pick-Up Artist or "Player") [PUA-1]
Can successfully PU chicks on his own, without wings, even in street PU.
Can get lays from chicks that he's never met before and "cold" PU'd.
Understands AI / IAI and the "natural" mindset, but doesn't depend on it.
Structures PU with a systematic "toolbox" mindset.
Catches himself thinking "Naaaaaaahhhh, I won't post that LR. Looks too similar to that other one I posted last weak... and the chick wasn't more than a 8.5... ".
Is actually congruent internally/externally when doing PU.
Knows the distinction between attraction and seduction...and knows how to manage each stage to optimize his PU experience...or is capable of melding the 2 into 1 cohesive framework.
Knows how to manage his internal state consistently to great effect.
Has methods an know-how which could make a big impact on uASF/mASF/FS101...and which other (regular) guys can learn to use regularly and successfully.
Is at least maintaining his skills as a PUA regularly.
A PUE/PUG (Pick-Up Expert/Guru) [PUA-2]
Is a PUA who's also become specialized in a specific form of PU to the point of a consistently high success rate in that niche.
Is conscious enough of his methods and skills to be able to teach them, whether he chooses to or not.
A guy can be a PUG in a specific method, environment, or kind of chick.
E.g. RJ is a PUG for SS, TokyoPUA is a PUG for street PU and also Asian chicks.
A PUM (Pick-up Master) [PUA-3]
Is a top-form PUA, reaching the highest levels of skill in all areas and may also be specialized in a specific form of PU, but not necessarily.
Can be a PUE/PUG as well as being a PUM.
Can PU in street and clubs/bars equally well, environment does not pose a challenge to him.
Knows how to utilize an "ultimate frame" and the ability to re-frame anything and everything to his advantage.
Has experienced thoughts such as: "Oh well, my primary was out of the city and I ignored my secondaries as I wanted to bang again that SHB 10, just to know if she deserved to become one of my FBs... but then I thought maybe I'd rather go to the bar with my friends and play pool... "
Always draws women into HIS reality, not the other way around.
Gives advice that only PUAs are able to pick up quickly.
Gives advice so beyond "normal" reality that it makes GPUAs take pause.
Looks at the game on a much higher level; it is all abstracted to him.
No longer needs "practice" as his life is the perpetual essence of PU.
