Background

La Ruina was born in London and raised in Cambridge where his childhood was riddled with problems academically and socially, having only one friend upon leaving school [http://attraction-chronicles.blogspot.com/2007/01/gambler-seduction-masters-interview.html La Ruina interview on Attraction Chronicles] ] Sarah O'Meara: [http://www2.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/features/2007/11/14/66a7769b-1fa2-4a3e-9be1-30fadf5d580f.lpf "From teenage geek to Casanova"] , "CEN News", November 14, 2007] . At school, La Ruina was bullied and changed schools because of it, however this problem continued [http://www.gm.tv/index.cfm?articleid=27216 "Master Casanova" ] , GMTV, November 27, 2007] . At age 18, La Ruina developed a talent for the stock market where he used his life savings successfully to earn himself a comfortable sum of money [http://www.puatraining.com/trainers/gambler.html Gambler's History] ] . It was here that Gambler acquired his nickname .

By his own admission, La Ruina was unsuccessful in attracting women throughout his early life, by age 21 he had never kissed a woman. Fueled by desperation and the fear of being alone for the rest of his life, La Ruina visited London's bars and clubs Retna Wooller: [http://www.thelondonpaper.com/cs/Satellite/london/love/article/1157148119929?packedargs=aid%3D1157148119929%26suffix%3DArticleController "Lessons in love at the cupid clinic"] , "thelondonpaper", July 4, 2007] to meet women. It was at this time where he met other pick-up artists. La Ruina viewed pick-up artists such as David DeAngelo and Pickup 101 as great role models but they only provided him with an attitude and not a complete structure for meeting women . This set La Ruina on the path of producing his own method of seducing women.

In 2007 La Ruina set up his own company, PUA Training [ [http://www.metro.co.uk/metrosexual/article.html?in_article_id=59116&in_page_id=8 "Bad chat-ups get the red card"] , "metro.co.uk", July 29, 2007] and has been quoted as "Europe's largest seduction company" [http://prweb.com/releases/2007/12/prweb573285.htm "The Rules of Seduction"] , "PR Web Press Release Newswire", December 3, 2007] . The company has received much media attention [ [http://www.puatraining.com/media-coverage.html Media Coverage of PUA Training] ] , and trainers were used from his company on a Channel 4 documentary, First Cut: The Rules of Seduction [ [http://www.channel4.com/video/first-cut-the-rules-of-seduction/series-1/ "First Cut: The Rules of Seduction"] ] which documented the training of men in seducing women. The show was aired in the UK on December 7, 2007 and viewed by 2.5 million viewers.

La Ruina is also the first European PUA to publish a book on the subject of dating, which was released on November 8 2007. La Ruina held a book signing at Borders, Oxford Street [ [http://www.puaireland.com/2007/12/01/gambler-launches-natural-art-of-seduction/ Launch of Natural Art of Seduction] ] on the launch of the book.

Concepts

La Ruina emphasises the importance of not using scripted lines or routines to attract women. He aims for a more natural approach, arguing that men must become their best selves in order to maintain attraction after the routines . He believes there is a structure to attraction, but one should not develop a rigid methodology to go about the various 'phases' of attraction [Simone Baird: [http://www.timeout.com/london/features/4031/5.html#16 "Learn how to seduce"] , "Time Out"] .
