1. a man would have had a much better chance simply suggesting a one nighter than playing games.

lots of women are not opposed to a one nighter. lots recognize and reject the insulting, disrespectful, dishonest games.

i think what i see with pua, when our young guys are googlin, how to get a girl, a date, a girlfriend, (i have two teenage sons), they come up on this pua. i know that with my oldest, he was not confident, felt less physically when stepping into the dating scene. he also talked to me a lot. so instead of being fed you deserve, how to use and manipulate, he got more the confidence building talk. as he developed more in body, became accomplished in his sport thru his own effort, he gained confidence. and that was something we often talked about. not that girls were uninterested, but keeping self in background is keeping self off the shelf. and that knowledge and confidence, putting himself out there is what was helpful

but... pua does not teach these young guys anything about them self, and working on self in order to step ahead. they teach how to use and manipulate and at all cost.... do not think of her as a person. a thing to hit. and they have to pound that in cause if the guy thought of her as a person, the manipulation fails.

interesting.

thanks
