There's no need to read the entire thing. If you do spend that kind of
time reading the entire thing, then you've wasted a huge amount of time
that you could have spent out in the field, approaching, and learning
from it.
As for using it as a resource, it's an excellent site. In my personal
experience, it's best to take a site like that, and skim through it to
find those specific areas that you feel can improve your game, and then
read those in detail when (and only when) you have the "down time" to do
so... If you're spending all your time d/l-ing and reading any website,
then you're not ready to take the necessary steps to become a PUA.

At which point you will have looked back over your wasted life, and
thought, "Goddamn! Why the hell didn't I go out and PRACTICE? Here I am,
70 years old, and I've never approached a woman!"
Gentlemen: Do not memorize patterns. The only thing that will accomplish
is to have wasted the time necessary to achieve ownership. Learn the
STRUCTURE of a pattern, and then exert your efforts in the direction of
expanding your experience and vocabulary to make it credible, and
congruent.
Think of resources for exploration, not guides or paths to follow. The
advice I gave to Diggory Venn about emulating Letterman enough to
achieve natrual ownership is the same advice nearly every one of us "PUA
Old Masters" has given. YOU have to make it your OWN. No one can GIVE it
to you...
