What is so bad about PUA?
July 29, 2014 9:10 PM
I'm genuinely curious. This is coming from someone who used to have zero luck with women until he graduated college and started reading PUA material (particularly RSD-Real Social Dynamics). For example, I was seeing someone and I doubt this would have happened if I hadn't picked up some PUA stuff. In fact, it was when I dropped PUA stuff that I got friendzoned. And yes, I know some people hate that term, but it's applicable here.
Can someone tell me why PUAs get such a bad rep when, to me at least, it's just about self-improvement? I just find that PUA helped me tremendously so I'm baffled by all the hate.
I even did a little field analysis and noted that when I dropped the PUA stuff, I had way more flakes, rejections, and blowouts. When I adopted the stuff from RSD, I was more successful with women (various girlfriends, hookups, etc).
I find that I don't enjoy the social circle game because there are very few attractive women in my social circles (oh the joy of being in a STEM field in the male-dominated Bay Area), so my best bets are to meet attractive women at bars/clubs/etc.
