Hey I just put the Acronyms in here, got it from Cliffs List, I think its a pretty complete list of all the acronyms :)

**********************

#close = the number close. Get the girl's number. Give your's if she only agrees to an exchange.


*close = Kiss close or fuck close... depends on the context of what the person us talking about. Usually means kiss close. (also see: close, @close, # close)


@close = e-mail close


3s rule = the three seconds rule. There may be a maximum of only three seconds between you seeing a girl and acting upon it. The rule that you should immediately try to meet a women within 3 seconds of seeing her (or her seeing you). 3 seconds isn't exactly literal, but the translation is "DO NOT HESITATE". Any hesitation will give you more time to falter and come up with fear-based excuses in your mind. It also give your target time to think negatively about you.


AFC = "Another Frustrated Chump" (ie. a guy who is not a pickup artist, doesn't understand how women really work, or how to handle them, so as a result, doesn't get laid very often). Often called a "nice guy" which is really the same as an AFC. AFC also means Average Frustrated Chump. A phrase coined by Ross Jeffries to describe a healthy (read: horny) male not (yet:) educated in the art of seduction (which in Ross Jeffries' terms would be Speed Seduction, but that is much too limiting). A few typical traits of an AFC - hanging on to just one certain girl, supplicating, swallowing whatever crap treatment a woman gives him, being afraid to make a move, thinking in terms of "dates", eiter for lack of courage and/or knowledge being unable to do a pick-up or a close. Also a guy who tends to supplicate in his behavior to HBs. Meaning, buying flowers for a chick when going out for coffee, putting her on a pedestal, and generally letting women walk all over him in the vein hope of somehow being seen as attractive in their eyes. A common term used for AFCs that have seen the error of their ways but not yet gained PUA skills is RACF (Recovering AFC).


AI = Approach Invitation. Unconscious actions by an HB to get your specific attention (rather than peacocking to get ALL men's attention) in order for you to have an opening opportunity with her. EC, hanging around you for an extended time for no reason, dropping something in front of you, asking you a question, fumbling with something in front of you, making nervous gestures, etc. By looking for AIs rather than wasting time on cold approaches, your PU game will become 3x more efficient while minimizing C&B results. If made use of in target-rich environments, quality approach oppportunities can increase 10x. Observation of AIs is best done after warm-up (a few throwaway approaches).


Ambiguity = The use of phrases or words which sound alike but differ in meaning, such as blow and below.


AMOG = Alpha Male Other Guy - In reference to a situation where you are trying to close on a chick and there's direct (in-your-face) competition from another PUA. This is different than a cockblock because the normal disarming strategies don't work.


Anti-AI = Anti Approach Invitation. Unconscious actions by an HB to do everything to avoid your specific attention. Walking away from you, avoiding EC, creating a cockblock scenario, etc. Don't waste your time on chicks giving anti-AI to you unless you really like a challenge or spending all your time in TA mode.


ASD = Anti-Slut Defense. The chick logic a woman (especially younger ones) will go through to relieve the guilt having sex too quickly with a man, assuming she has enough time to "think" about the consequences - a reaction which causes them to come up with objections or reasons that they shouldn't fuck you in order to relieve their guilt of taking *responsibility* for doing something that society would often call "slutty". Post-sex ASD is usually boiled down to comments from her to her friends like "it just happened". It might be possible to consider waiting for a guy to make all the moves as an ASD. This forces HIM (in her mind) to take responsibility for the fact that she slept with you. "It just happened", "he wouldn't give up", etc. In reality, both people are responsible for their own actions.


ASF = a Usenet newsgroup created by Ross Jeffries for discussing Speed Seduction and its implementation, which has far outgrown its original agenda by becoming the world's premiere discussion board covering various seduction techniques. Everything in quotation marks starting with "ASF:" is material originally published on ASF.


B = Babe


BAFC = Below Average Frustrated Chump


BF = Boyfriend, often also (and not mistakenly:) read as Borefriend:)


Bitch Shield = Not a derogatory term - used to describe a behavior women use when attempting to fend off would-be suitors. Usually in use in clubs, bars, and other pick up places. Sometimes just referred to as a "shield".


BOOT CAMP = Dance clubs and crowded bars, "meat markets". The most likely places on the planet for AFCs to get rejected and, therefore, the best place for AFCs to build up a thick skin. THE best places to crash & burn.


chyck = chick. duh


close / # close = To complete a pick up by getting a girl to commit to a "date", giving you her phone number, or bedding her literally on the spot. Most PUAs like to differentiate between different kinds of closes (kiss close, number close, fuck close, etc.) Comes from sales terminology. i.e. "Close a deal". (also see: *close, @close)


cockblock / CB = When obstacles take your target away or get your target disinterested in you.


Crash & Burn / C&B = To attempt an approach/PU and fail miserably. A learning process. Warm-up. Don't confuse with "CB" which is short for cockblock.


DAFS = Do A Fucking Search. Kinda like RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual). Usually thrown at newbies who post about a vague memory of a past post without bothering to search for an archive of that post.


DAI = Dead Approach Invitation. Opening on an AI that turns sour and creates an Anti-AI response from the HB. Different than a crash & burn on a cold approach because it involves taking advantage of positive signals you detected from a chick. DAIs are rare if you know how to detect AIs properly.


DDB = "Doggy Dinner Bowl" [Look] - The look on a chick's face when she's tranced out or lapping up your words with a phased out look in their eyes. In that state, they are metaphorically ready to eat out of the palm of your hand.


E&E / EwE = Eject & Explain / Eject-with-Explanation. Ejecting from a situation with a chick without completely burning bridges but doing it in a way that allows her the opportunity to understand and "fix" the reason(s) that caused you to eject. You eject her from your sphere/ world, not the other way around.


EC = Eye Contact


EV = Elicit(ing) Values.


f close = Fuck close.


FB = Fuck Buddy.


FMAC = Find Meet Attract Close. The basis of Mystery's method (and pretty much all PU styles).


FNG = Fucking New Guy. A new guy to ASF, the misc sites, and the "right" way to do seduction (in contrast to the "wrong" way presented by a large number of femi**** resources which flood modern society).


FTOW = Find Ten Other Women


FUG = Fucking Ugly Girl. A REALLY ugly chick. On the 1-10 scale, a 0.


g close = Girl Close. A g close is what happens when you contact close (# or @ or both) a chick and it leads to a f close rather than a flake or LJBF. G closing also happens when you same-day f close a chick whether you got her contact info or not. If you get a chick's contact info in order to follow up later (no same-day f close) and can walk away with the full confidence that you WILL lay her soon, that's a g close. Anything else is mental masterbation and you will likely have a flake on your hands. G closing is always better than contact closing.


GF = Girlfriend


GM / GM Style = Grand Master. One of the prominent PUAs on ASF, Nathan, has a friend he calls "GM" who's primary pick up style is to be extremely sexual and blatant. Almost blunt. For example, making dick jokes. This approach only works if it's pulled off just right and you stay congruent with it.
 
HB = Honey Bunny, an acronym coined by Ross Jeffries in his newsletters. Also sometimes mistakenly read as Hot Babe, Horny Bitch or Hard Body, but it's a free world, to each his own:)


HC / LC = High Class / Low Class. Sometimes in a different context, HC will stand for "Hardcore".


HTGTWYDIB = "How To Get The Women You Desire Into Bed" - a book by Ross Jeffries.


Hentai = A Japanese word with no real English equivalent. Somewhere between "erotic", "kinky", "sexy". Ie. straight missionary style sex is not hentai, but looking at a girl's ass in super mini shorts is. Basically, means something slightly abnormal, or sexy/kinky/erotic, but in a not necessarily a bad way.


IOI = Indicator of Interest


JGirl = Japanese Girl


KC / FC / NC = Kiss close, fuck close, number close.


Kino = kinaesthetics. Touching her: her hands, shoulders etc. Physical contact; ie. kissing, touching, squeezing her ass, hugging, holding hands, rubbing her tits, ..etc..etc


Layguide = Tony's Layguide. Another guide on PU'ing women, like this one. It is mirrored at: http://www.pickupguide.com/layguide


LD/HD = Low sex drive / high sex drive. Referring to the level of sexual drive a chick has, specifically in reference to LTRs.


LJBF = "Let's Just Be Friends", also know as "the treatment". A very typical blowout that a chick does to a guy when he wants to be his girlfriend but she rejects it. Usually happens to AFC's who don't know how to do a proper pickup and seduction. Also a slammer statement uttered by women which essentially closes the door on any chance of you ever sleeping with her.


LSE = Low Self Esteem


LTR = Long Term Relationship. Although the length of a relationship to qualify as "long term" can not be defined, the physical and/or emotional involvement of such a relationship certainly extends beyond that of a chance encounter aka one-night-stand.


mASF = Moderated ASF


mental masterbation = The concept that what you THINK is happening is really just a fantasy about what you want rather than the reality of what has occured, is occuring, or will occur. For example, going to a strip club, attempting to PU a stripper, getting normal "customer" attention from her, then going home empty- handed with the distorted idea that you may have a chance with her.


Mindlist - a mailing list dealing with NLP and its various applications, seduction amongst others. You can find it on www.egroups.com/group/mindlist


MLTR = Multiple Long Term Relationships (having more than one girlfriend at the same time, in several concurrent steady relationships). An acronym and a methodology. Multiple polyamorous sexual relationships. NOT a string of ONSs or an accumulation of FBs, but rather maintaining multiple sexually-centered LTRs at the same time. It is best to inform all the women in your MLTRs that you are polyamorous.


MM = Mystery Method


MPB / PMB = Male Pattern Blindness / Pattern Male Blindness - A condition that afflicts men in which they are in a situation where a woman is giving every signal he needs to make a successful close but he does not notice. Later on, he may finally realize his blunder but the realization comes too late.


Mr. Smooth [Style] = An approach used primarily with a wingman. A wingman of one of the prominent Japan-based PUAs on ASF, Maniac, uses this so-called style to enhance his friend's approach while also presupposing something positive about his friend. Done with a very friendly attitude, very disarming. Example: "We can both agree that my friend here is a sexy guy, but what do you think about his tie?" That sets up the target to agree without any resistance that the friend is sexy and then opens up a conversation about the tie which can lead to more conversation and additional rapport.


Nanpa = A term for going out to hunt chicks (originates from Japan, where they make videos of how to do this...)


Neg = also known as negging, neghits or negative hits. A negative remark towards a girl designed to break her indifference to you by showing her that you are indifferent to her beauty (or other striking features). Not an insult, that would be bad. More like "Those are interesting nails - are they real?" or "It's really cute how your nose wiggles when you talk - look, there it goes again! <chuckle>". No more than 2 negs on an average HB (7-9/7-9), a maximum of 3 on a super HB (10/10). Negs are pretty much a necessity for 10s or strippers (whether they're 10s or not - simply because they are in an environment which is conducive to them thinking they are 10s).


newbie mission = Svengali's call to action for all AFCs who want to change their ways. http://www.fastseduction.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?action=retrieve&grp=1&mn=97686124580572


next = The act of looking for additional pick up opportunities without lingering on a particular situation.


Nice Guy = see AFC explanation above.


NLP = "Neuro Linguistic Programming". A psychology term originated by two psychologists in the 1960s (Bandler and Grinder) in the book "Trance-formations ISBN 0-911226-23-0". Briefly, NLP is a way to subconsciously put people into trance or encourage them to do things that you want them to do (ie. quit smoking, eat less, let you fuck them..etc). NLP uses language patterns and metaphor to communicate with the subconscious mind enabling the patient to recover within weeks or even days as opposed to months and years when using traditional psychoanalysis. See www.nlp.org for more details.


NRFR = "Not Ready For a Relationship" - a statement uttered by women (similar to LJBF) which essentially indicates that although she's not in a current relationship, she wouldn't want one with you let alone go out with you. Although it's similar to LJBF, it's possible to TA the situation quickly. It's important to note that women don't need a "relationship" with you to want to sleep with you.


obstacle = Any person (or thing) which could potentially block your chances with the target girl.


one-itis = A disorder commonly found in AFCs, that forces them to think that one chick is so special that they'll do ANYTHING to get into her panties. The most common cure for this disease is to go out and fuck a Baker's Dozen of other chicks to see that one piece isn't that special.


ONS = One night stand


OQ = OverQualify. The point where the chick rules herself out for not feeling competent enough for any kind of relationship with you. A situation where you come across so smooth and alpha that you simply overqualify yourself to your target.


pattern = An arrangement of neuro linguistic programming (NLP) phrases and speeches used to direct the target girl and get her into a state which allows her to be lead.


PAWN = Enhanced social proof. A PAWN can be any woman in any situation, doesn't have to be a friend or acquaintance of yours, and can be created on-the-fly. On-the-fly PAWNs are best for building up social proof literally out of thin air, snowballing into more PAWN opportunities and further enhancing your status in the eyes of any potential targets (even ones you have not seen yet). PAWNS can be unwitting participants or completely willing to help your game.


Pivot = a chick that you take to a bar to in order to pick up other chicks. Use chicks who won't lay you but still want to see you, for this purpose. Basically, this works because most chicks will find you more attractive and get jealous when you are already with a chick than when you are not. A woman (LJBF material or one of your MLTRs) who you can use as social proof when out on PU session. Used to enhance your status in the eyes of any potential targets (even ones you have not seen yet). Similar to a PAWN but prepared in advance.


player = A pick up artist (PUA)


POTF = Pattern On-The-Fly. Rather than just memorizing specific patterns (which is very inflexible), it's better to get to the point where you can take any situation and create a pattern for it on-the-fly. It's probably still good to know a few key patterns (modified a bit to match your own speaking style) such as: Natural Woman, Incredible Connection, Sex Is Natural, Falling In Love, Blammo, Boyfriend Destroyer, and a few you've created custom for yourself and your own situations/desires.
 
POTW = Pattern Of The Week


PTS / SP = Point To Self / Self Point. Pointing briefly to yourself by touching your chest or your stomach or motioning to yourself. An aspect of delivering a pattern which anchors a certain feeling, phrase, or idea to you.


PU = Pick Up (ie. a pick up a girl in a bar/club). The act/art of meeting and attracting women.


PUA = Pick Up Artist. Someone who has picking up girls down to an art and uses one or various pick-up techniques with a high success-rate.


PUG = Pick Up Guru


PUM = Pick Up Master


RAFC = Recovering Average Frustrates Chump. A guy who realizes consciously that he is an AFC and is taking the steps to correct the situation.


recycle = When a PU venue turns stale (you've approached all the HB's you can possibly approach in there or the opportunities have staled out) and you need to move onto a new venue.


Ross Jeffries = See "SS" term below. Sarging = Ross Jeffries term for hunting chicks. Means the same thing as "Nanpa" above. Apparently, "Sarge" is the name of Ross's Cat.


Sarging = Ross Jeffries term for hunting chicks. Means the same thing as "Nanpa" above. Apparently, "Sarge" is the name of Ross's Cat.


SHB = Super Hot Babe


situ = Situation


SO = Significant Other


Social Proof = The concept that when you are seen with other women (or keeping a crowd entertained) your social status is raised in the eyes of HBs in the near vicinity. Other forms of display can be seen as social proof (chummy with everyone at a certain place, at ease in your environment, etc.)


SOI = Statement of Intent. A statement during a pickup to make it clear in an appropriate way that you are sexually interested in the chick and intend to make good on that intent. Statement of Intent / Show of Interest. In initiating conversation, or perhaps during fluff talk stage, making your intent (sexual interest) clear so as to nip LJBF in the bud early on. By declaring your intent (directly or subtly) clear early on, you avoid later resistance to taking the conversation in that direction and clear the way for an easier close. Show of Interest: A (sincere) compliment - Followed by a QUESTION intended to elicit some values (which can be fed back to her later). Statement Of Intent: To suggest doing some romantic activity together. Followed by a CHALLENGE - that is either to do a takeaway, or take the comment back with a "Just Kidding!" or whatever.


SP - self-point, point to yourself (like put your hand on your chest or stomach for a moment). An aspect of patterning to link descriptions to yourself (example: "have you ever met someone..." while self-pointing).


SS = "Speed Seduction". A term for application of NLP Patterns and theory used by Ross Jeffries for a course he sells over the internet on picking up chicks and fucking them. See http://www.speed-seduction.com for more details.


SS = Speed Seduction


STR = Short Term Relationship


T&A = Tits and Ass


TA = Turn Around. To change an LJBF situation with a woman into something sexual.


target = The girl you are trying to seduce/close.


UFEA = Universal Female Excuse Archive ("I'm washing my hair that night.", "My grandmother's cat died.", "I'm having family problems for the next 3 months.", etc.)


UG = Ugly Girl, the opposite of HB (Honey Bunny), usually the HB's friend and an obstacle.


UGCB = UG cockblock


USP = Unique Selling Proposition (a sales tactic)


VC = Victim Chick. A chick which comes with a lot of emotional baggage (possibly of past abuse) who gives guys the opportunity to be a rescuer, feel like a hero, feel loved and vitally important in an intense way. Quite often, you'll hear this type of girl say "I've never told anyone this..." when talking about her messed up past.


WARPIG = An UG (Ugly Girl) of rating 4 and under.


WBAFC = Way Below Average Frustrated Chump


Wing/Wingman = A fellow pick up friend (possibly pick up artist) who goes along with you when you sarge or hit the clubs.
