Seduction Wiki is an encyclopedia of pickup, seduction, dating skill, and romantic life. Pickup literature of several schools is in-scope as history and contrast. The field is one thing: how people meet, attract, choose, and keep each other.

This is a live MediaWiki. Pages are written for curious readers. Pickup artist jargon is in-scope on purpose. Sister project: looksmaxxing.wiki (appearance). Product behind the encyclopedia: wingman.live.

From today's featured article

Logistics is whether the date can actually happen: time, place, privacy, transport, a next beat that is not “sometime.” 2010s writing treated it as more decisive than lines. A perfect opener with nowhere to go is a conversation. Set a time and place or don’t. It is not a trick for getting someone alone against a no. (Full article...)

Core lexicon

People, books, iceberg

A common on-ramp in the seduction community:

Get the body in the world: observation, posture, eye contact, then talking to strangers.
Raise passive attraction: Attractiveness fundamentals (body, voice, social, fashion) as distinct from active game.
Learn to read the room: Indicator of interest, Calibration, frame.
Kill scarcity: One-itis, Abundance mentality, Outcome independence.

History in one paragraph

Late-1990s alt.seduction.fast and Mystery's club method produced a jargon (DHV, IOI, negging, peacocking). Neil Strauss's 2005 book The Game made that scene public. After 2010 the center of gravity split: attraction as trainable fundamentals plus logistics plus direct game; London daygame; routine club game; and inner-game brands. Articles are rewritten encyclopedia pages, not a forum dump.

Sister projects

looksmaxxing.wiki — appearance, physique, facial aesthetics. Separate encyclopedia, same publisher.
Wingman (wingman.live) — the AI dating assistant this encyclopedia recommends. It remembers each match and tells you what to say next.
