Surely though, if you use artificial material to get someone interested in you, you can never be sure if the person is into you or into the material.

If I got a job using forged credentials I would never feel confident that I legitimately deserved to be there. How is it different if I get a woman using a forged personality?

Interesting perspective, thanks.

To be fair, Mystery suffered from mental illness long before he became a PUA, so he's probably not the most representative sample.
