Its too bad, Doc must have a vision for his life that does not include PU, i wonder what are his planes.
For other people (instructors) working in the industry, its more of a flow of life they are accustomed to i guess, doing something else other than teaching PU would be like peddaling upstream, its not about validation IMO. You don’t need to “quit the game in order to win it”
winning is enjoying what you do evryday.

I totally get what your saying here… it’s true, once people get good they usually leave because they got what they want out of it, which is in most cases self-improvement. The reason I stay in it now is because I absolutely love it, and I want to make it my lifetime career. If I wanted to do something else for a career, I probably wouldn’t be here right now since I have gotten everything I’ve wanted from it. My main focus right now is making strides in the game, coming up with new and more perfected strategies, and really helping other people. If I wasn’t a pua coach, I would be some other type of coach since I love helping others.

I met Doc Holiday briefly, but I could tell he’s a good guy with a lot of heart, and it’s really too bad he won’t be around to help all the guys out there that really need it. I’m sure whatever he’s doing or whatever he gets into he will succeed and make a difference. I send my regards out to Doc Holiday and wish him the very best. : )

Good for Doc! I met him once here in Nashville at a lair talk he did. Then talking to him at dinner and in the club was interesting. I was impressed by his knowledge, and continue to follow his work. I learned a lot from him and continued to follow his blog.

Thanks Doc, you’ll be missed.

Doc is a great guy and knows his stuff. You can tell he was taught by Sinn for he has his professionalism and care for his students. Doc helped me out with a phone consultation a couple of months ago and I he was the only PUA – I mean ONLY to do a full recap writeup and then suggestions at the end. I have done probably 7 to 8 with various other PUA “guru’s” and not one of them did what Doc did – not one. Class act and I wish him the best in the future.

The year was 2008. I was in my mid-thirties, nerdy, and newly divorced, when, through an unlikely series of coincidences, I made friends with Doc and ended up becoming his roommate for a year. I was never officially his student, and even though we only went out a few times, somehow, through sheer osmosis, I managed to absorb a little of his zest for life and irreverent view of the world. Within that year, I had fucked two cute girls, and met an amazing girl who I moved in with a few months ago. And I’m just one of the many, many guys whose lives he’s helped turn around. It still amazes me when I think about it how someone so much younger than me could have taught me so much about becoming a man. Doc, thanks a million, and best wishes in your life ahead. – Your friend, John Galt

Good for Doc – I agree. Most people that stay involved in pickup either become instructors or their lives are about pickup and they enjoy the “brotherhood” of talking about banging random girls. It’s an empty life.

I still follow it on the fringes because it fascinates me, but at some point if you’re not making money or enhancing your quality of life; it’s time to move on.

Entropy, keep up the good work helping men handling their personal lives. And, Doc…good luck with pursuing your dreams

He got what he came for and left. I can’t really blame him since it’s my own plan.

If practicalpickup.com is finished, than can you share its released podcast?

as a pick up artist everyone will eventually retire becaue it’s a ‘fantasy’lifestyle that once becomes a reality, basically becomes a letdown. Not only are you let down by the lack of longterm joy one night stands bring you, you are also held to a ‘PUA guru’ status that tears you away from your original intent: to be able to connect with people. Cheers. Wishing Doc Holiday the best in whatever endeavors that bring him true joy!

Best of luck to Doc. I hope that he’s able to find that which makes his life complete.

I truly view the Game as a more stylish, more hip version of self-help and I thoroughly believe that the Game has completely revolutionized me.

For this, I am eternally grateful to every member of the community whose insights and material I’ve read.

May you find greater things in life than pickup, and may you distinguish between the thrill of a great, balanced lifestyle and the need to sarge regularly.
