Seduction community

Seduction community

Field	Subculture
Also known as	pickup community, the community, the scene

The seduction community is the loose network of forums, blogs, coaches, and students who treat pickup as a skill. It is not a single organization. It has a recognizable jargon, a 1990s–2000s origin story, and a habit of splitting into rival schools that still read each other's field reports.

Venues

Historically:

• Usenet: alt.seduction.fast.
• Early web: FastSeduction, SoSuave, the Attraction Forums, mASF.
• Commercial: Mystery's bootcamps, Love Systems, Real Social Dynamics, later daygame companies.
• Editorial: Girls Chase (2008–) is this wiki's gold-standard editorial. Roosh, Krauser, Torero, Heartiste appear as other schools (Heartiste only when the dating claim is the point).
• Forum of record for this encyclopedia: Skilled Seducer (XenForo).

Wingman's coaching corpus already holds large public scrapes of those surfaces (Skilled Seducer ~10k threads locally; RooshV Forum, SoSuave, Girls Chase editorial, Krauser, PUA Lingo). This wiki uses Girls Chase / Skilled Seducer as doctrine and the rest as history, rewritten. See Seduction Wiki:Point of view.

Shared assumptions

1. Meeting women is a skill, not a lottery.
2. Inner game (self-image, outcome independence) and outer game (words, logistics, kino) both count.
3. Volume plus review beats theory. The Newbie assignment is one formalization of that.
4. Looks and status matter; they are not the whole game. See Attractiveness fundamentals vs looksmaxxing.wiki.

Schisms

Indirect vs direct. Club vs daygame. Script vs natural. "Lay reports" vs relationship skill. Each schism produced a dialect. The glossary on this wiki keeps the dialects and says which school a term came from.
