The Glossary

(An ongoing series "15 Chapters - Fantastic First Impressions in the Cold Approach")

Although I'll try to avoid PUA jargon, I'll need a small glossary to facilitiate understanding.

Day Game - Approaching people in venues not specifically designed for meeting strangers (such as bookstores, coffeehouses, malls, libraries, etc).  It does not necessarily have to occur during "daytime".  Also see Night Game.

DHV (Demonstrate Higher Value) - Action that shows social leadership skills and, hence, increases your social value.

DLV (Demonstrate Lower Value) - Action that shows lack of social leadership skills and, hence, decreases your social value.

Body Rocking - A physical posture that implies you're about to walk away

Mystery - Considered the greatest pickup artist alive and a PUA pioneer, his PUA method is the foundation upon which almost all other methods was built.

Neil Strauss - Also known as Style, his New York Times bestselling book exposed the PUA community.  He was voted PUA of the Year twice by his peers.

Night Game - Approaching people in venues specifically designed for meeting strangers (such as clubs, parties, weddings, etc.).

Obstacles - People in a set other than the target.  See Set and Target.

Set - A group of people hanging together (male or female).  For example, if there are four people in a group, it's called a "four set".  If she's alone, it's called a "one set" or "single set".

Social proof - The idea that a women will become more attracted to a guy because he is desired or accepted by other women.

Target - The girl you're fancying
