Man of parts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Man of Parts was, until recently, an antiquated term that saw much use in the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe, especially England. In his letters to his illegitimate son, Phillip Dormer Stanhope, Lord Chesterfield, instructed him in the ways to become a man of parts.
By definition, a Man of Parts (MoP) is talented in multiple areas of life. This includes but is not limited to the area of seduction. What sets apart a Man of Parts from a Pick Up Artist (PUA)is that a Man of Parts puts very little emphasis on memorized scripts or "peacocking" and instead relies on very individualized ways to charm a woman, also referred to as "natural game". The two (PUA, MoP) can be thought of as brothers with seemingly slight but significant differences.
