about

Hello, my name is Khiem and I suck as a Pick-Up Artist (PUA).

For the past year, I have been a professional bum.  You read right.  I haven’t worked since September 2006.  Instead, I have actively been exploring the Seduction Community.  It’s been a very interesting journey in which I have met a lot of people.  Some inspiring, some really awkward.  Some have become really good friends, some I’d rather forget… but in the end, they are all good people (mostly).

What I have found is that the PUA Community is more than just about picking girls up.  Don’t get me wrong.  It starts there but eventually, it’s about building a lifestyle for oneself.  It’s a self-improvement and a self-empowerment journey that teach men to be confident enough to pursue their own dreams.

Unfortunately, the Seduction Community is kind of a mess.  There is a lot of information out there that you’d want to filter through.  I found some advice unhealthy and unethical but I also found other things very powerful and inspiring.  Depending on what you are looking for, you will find a little something that will appeal to you.

Why Kiss N’ Tale?

It’s simple.  I wanted to record my thoughts on the Seduction Community.  At the same time, I wanted to help others figure out what would be right for them as they learn to improve their dating skills.

Who Are You?

I don’t think I could ever become a true Pick-Up Artist.  I’m just too lazy for that.  I’m more of your local neighborhood social butterfly kind.  All I care about is meeting truly interesting people and well… having some cool women in my life.  I’m really not into bedding every single woman I meet. 

I always have had lots of friends but I haven’t always been social (at least, not in the going out and partying sense of the term).  When I was a kid, I was very popular with the girls.  Then I grew up and moved to the U.S. at age 15 and suddenly, I found myself having more guy friends than girls.  Go figure. 

Hopefully by now, I think I’ve worked hard enough on myself where I attract the kind of men and women I’m really wanting to keep in my life.

    Lou,

    Should you even ask? -No- :)

  12. Khiem Says:

    Johnny Soporno,

    I finally ended watching the first 2 videos of your site.  Very interesting stuff.  I might have to write something on it soon.

  13. Nitshuk Says:

    I arrived on this site after a random google search for  “When do u know that there is no attraction in a kiss”  . I thought it would be another pricky Mr. Know-it-all but then I read it and find myself pleasantly surprised.
    So then, presuming one fine day, you do manage to pick up a great girl, what do you do next?
    Intriguing stuff….

  14. Khiem Says:

    Nitshuk,

    Your question is very vague.  What you do next is very dependent on how much you’ve done with the girl.  Everything you do should be a progression of the previous interaction… and obviously, it also depends on what kind of relationship you want with her.

    As far as knowing if there’s any attraction in a kiss, you have to pay attention to the girl’s body language and her receptivity to your touching.

    Before the kiss, if you both can stand/sit close to each other, if there’s a lot of touching and your head/face always nearly touch… and if she looks at your eyes intently every so often, you can pretty much assume that there’s attraction.

    However, some girls are very shy so you won’t know until you kiss her.  As long as the girl is receptive to your touching advances, she likes you.  When kissing, if she kisses back, then she likes you too.

    You never know for sure unless she literally pushes you away.

    Cool blog mate.  It’s great to see someone with integrity spreading the love in the seduction community :)

    I agree there is a load of info in the community but we all have a choice of what we will believe and we are all on our own path.
