Article: There are many different styles of pick up artistry and different teachers or "gurus" teach or advocate for different methods. Research the different styles of seduction and focus on the one that feels most organic to who you are as a person. Some of the different gurus include David DeAngelo, Mystery, Ross Jeffries and JT Tran. David DeAngelo believes seduction is a numbers game and that you'll only improve by meeting and talking to lots of different women. Mystery is the most famous pick up artist working and has "trained" many of the other pick up artists working today. He advocates dressing ostentatiously and engaging women in conversation immediately upon entering the room. Ross Jeffries prefers to talk to women during the day, specifically in quiet places like coffee shops. JT Tran believes in teaching men self-confidence and communication skills in order to improve their experiences with women. There are many forums on the Internet devoted to analyzing different methods of study. Do research before pursuing a specific method. Some gurus also offer boot camps for aspiring pick up artists. These camps are expensive, usually costing upwards of $3,000 and don't offer much beyond what you can for free online. A wingman is a huge asset for a pickup artist; they're there to set you up, to make you look good and to help you get comfortable as you're meeting and talking to new women. Choose a friend you can trust and who likes to have a good time, but not such a good time that they can't focus on the task at hand. Try to find a wingman with a serious girlfriend. That way, you won't be competing for the same women. Don't choose a wingman who is more attractive, fashionable or charming than you. Find someone who is your equal. Learning to talk to women is a skill like anything else, and the only way to get better is through study and repetition. Set time aside each week to go out and pick up women. Bring your wingman with you, or attempt to do it alone, but either way, get out there and practice. Set clear, accomplishable goals. Decide to talk to five women a week, or aspire to get one phone number every day. The more time you devote to your training, the more your anxiety will dissipate when talking to women. It's impossible to pick up women from the comfort of your own home, so a key step in becoming a pick up artist is leaving your house. Try to go out and meet new people several times a week; the more places you go, the more opportunities you'll have to meet women. Try going to bars and clubs on weekends; they're usually crowded, so you'll have lots of opportunities to meet and speak with different women. Take out your headphones while you're walking. You can't have a conversation with someone if you're not even aware they're right next to you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a method of study. Find a good wingman. Practice talking to women often. Get yourself out there.
Article: The decorating process can be messy, so make sure you protect your table or other painting surface by spreading out newspaper. Gesso is a primer used to prepare surfaces for acrylic paint. It dries hard and white, both covering up the brown of the cardboard or any ink on the cardboard and providing a smooth surface for the even application of paint. Gesso can be purchased in any craft or art supply store. Using a clean brush, apply the gesso in an even coat to the entire surface of the house. Use long, parallel strokes to ensure an even coating. Let the gesso dry completely before painting the house. When the gesso has dried, you'll have a white surface on which you can sketch any details you might want to include on your house. Using your ruler, sketch out flowers, eaves, or anything else you want to paint on your house. If you don't want to cut out windows in an earlier step, you can draw and paint them instead. Use a small brush on the smaller house so you can control the detail, or else you might end up with a smudgy door or windows. For the playhouse, you can use a larger brush. Paint the exterior walls first, being careful not to let the paint bleed over the lines you've sketched for your doors and windows. Paint the background first, then add the details. Clean the brush with fresh water when switching between colors. If you have to apply one color over another a black doorknob on a red door, for example let the bottom layer of paint dry completely before applying the second color. Apply the paint in thin layers, so it doesn't drip down. Even if you have newspaper under the house, the dripping will leave an uneven texture on the surface of the house. Leave the house in the sun, if possible, to speed up the drying process. After an hour or two, lightly brush your finger along the paint surface to see if any comes off on your skin. If not, you're ready to apply a second layer of paint to cover up the gesso underneath. Once your second layer of paint has dried, you're finished.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Lay out newspaper. Coat the house in a layer of gesso. Sketch details in pencil. Paint the house. Let the paint dry before applying a second layer.
Article: If your cat suddenly stops eating, pay attention, particularly if it lasts for more than a day. That's a sign your cat needs to go to the vet to help determine what's wrong. Not eating could be a sign your cat's digestive system is blocked by a hairball. If your cat is continually hacking but not producing anything, that could be a sign your cat has a blockage in its digestive system. Pay particular attention if your cat hacks without production several times in one day. You should also check to see if your cat is defecating. If it's not, then it definitely has a blockage and needs to be seen by a vet. Alternatively, your cat may have diarrhea because it can't get much around the blockage. Place your hand on the cat's stomach. If it feels harder than normal, that could indicate a blockage. Your cat may also seem really lethargic, like it doesn't have the energy to do much.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Watch for loss of appetite. Notice if your cat hacks without bringing up a hairball. Check the cat's stomach and energy levels.
