Just say no to the PUA mindset. It's not a "game" and women are more than notches on a bedpost. As a woman i find it somewhere between amusing and offensive, depending.

Forget the PUA stuff. Just be yourself. Get out there. Talk to people. The best way to learn to relate to others is to go out there and do it... not sit in front of a computer watching videos of guys tell you how they think women think.

IMO, the PUA-pickups are far less likely to result in a real relationship. From the moment you meet her, she only knows the act, not the real you. When do you let the real you show? Can you ever?

Also consider that most women have good BS detectors. Sometimes we'll smile and play along with fabricated pick-up lines, but that doesn't mean we can't spot the PUAs and wannabe-players. Some women may spot the novice PUA and write the guy off as weak. The women looking for more than a pick-up will usually avoid the total PUA unless you're an excellent liar. If you're a good liar, this prevents a normal relationship from occurring. If you're a bad liar and you eventually do get a girl to buy into the act, she may be the kind of girl you DON'T want to keep around.
