L.A. Tripp's Friends
J Smooth
This guy is amazing! What he can teach you about how to control your frame, and other aspects are invaluable. What L.A. Tripp teaches does not only applies to women, but the rest of your life. When he teaches you he doesn't just spend a few hours with you, and then send you on your way like other Guru's out there. He will check up on you, and answer your questions. He's been one of my best instructors helping me along since I started in October 07. His encouragement to get me in the field, and insight has made me the PUA I am now.
Thanks L.A. Tripp,

"Every student, forum member, and friend that has come to me in confidence looking for help in general or specific situations: I thank you for you commitment and trust in me. I appreciate being appreciated, and am glad to be a role model to the many, as well as the few.
Thank you, and good night"
Tripp ... they (we, and I) come to you with our problems because we know you are trustworthy; and we know, most of the time, you have the answers or at least good advice.
You've been there, and done it. Not only is it a great service you are offering...but it is a great friendship as well. It is my honor to one day work side by side in the field. Until then, it is also my pleasure to allow you (and everyone that has helped) to continue helping. Even if I ask for too much sometimes ;p
A good teacher is one that is both a student and a teacher. I am amazed at the fact that there is no inflated ego or over confidence because of this, but actually a respect. Damn good stuff.
This was a post I had made months back on one of the forums. Many things have occurred since then; good things, bad things, AFC things, PUA things....for the little amount of time I actually DO get to spend sarging and improving my game, I go back to the words of advice you have given me. You still continue to assist me drastically in ways you do, and don't, know. Inner Core issues, frame issues, ideas, strategies, calibration, material - these are just a few of the things you have helped with. I have grown dramatically in all aspects of my life (and personality) and I could not have done it without the swift kick in the ass you provided. Thanks a bunch man; I stand by the words I stated above: you are a great mentor!

I am Billy. I am one of Tripp's students.
Tripp has helped me out countless times. His availability is awesome! It seems as if Tripp is on call 24/7, and, to a great degree, I abuse this, lol.
I've asked Tripp so many questions regarding girls, dating, and life in general, and he always gives it to me straight. This has taken some getting used to, but in the end, it is how a mentor should be.
I think, as an aspiring PUA, that's all you can ask for—for a mentor who will give you the straight dope. Why sugar coat it? It is what it is. If you're fucking up, you need to know it…. Now.. Same if you're doing great— when dealing with someone as direct as Tripp, you KNOW if you're doing great; you know if you're fucking up. There is no ambiguity.
I've taken Tripp's approach to the field, and it flat-out works. The un-ambiguity from Tripp's advice transcends to picking up girls.. Whatever it is you want to say, you tell her.. You don't sugar coat anything. She will respect you for this…
When you speak with a girl who looks tired, or out of shape, or in need of a stylist, or fashion consultant, you fucking tell her. AFC's either don't tell her or beat around the bush. You, the PUA fucking tell her. She will appreciate the fact that you tell her that her hair doesn't look like it has been combed in the back, or that she should have ironed her pants. I like Tripps philosophy because bluntness exudes confidence, a major DHV.
