The journey that takes place for a pickup artist that allows him to master his or her own life, the art of seduction, and ultimately discover themselves.
When you travel, you are automatically thrown outside of your comfort zone. When PUAs travel, they come back from it more rooted, more used to adapting in different environments. More importantly, it forces them to rely on core confidence, not situational confidence. In the MTV show “Made”, a lot of breakthroughs take place when the teenager travels to another city, to see the national gathering of the pros in their selected area of improvement. This is what it takes to master a skill.
Not all travel is positive. Sometimes, a PUA can be thrown off-course, or discouraged by a certain event or person. The pilgrimage is tough and grueling, and continue for years. Sometimes a PUA may even decide to step aside from game to focus other areas of his or her life. Ultimately, a pilgrimage generally involves a significant change of location or events in a person’s life that pushes them to adapt and confront their own fears, and in process better know thyself.
