It is trickery and manipulation. Sorry, but that's how I see it. As a woman, I've gotten good at sensing the PUA act a mile away. I'd much rather see an honest-but-bungled attempt than some PUA who thinks he's smooth.
The more I see of this being taught, the more I am bothered. There are PUAs who teach men how to trick women into buying you gifts or giving you whatever you want. Trouble is none of it is based on the man respecting or caring for the woman. It's all about 'the game'.
The more you buy into it, the harder it might be to ever trust women. And without trust, the relationships of course are going to be shallow and meaningless, which just reinforces the PUA idea that women are only good for scoring with. Then the PUA wonders why relationships always feels so empty.
The big flaw with the PUA approach is that a guy gets into it thinking it'll help build his confidence with women. But each score is really a score for the 'act' not for him. Eventually he realizes that it is really just an act; it was never the real him the women were responding to all along.
Instead of the PUA stuff, why not stick to traditional relationship advice, body language books, and confidence building exercises?
