The primary complaints that I see regarding the seduction community are that the teachings tend to objectify women and that "success" is often measured by how many hot women you can sleep with.

The OP briefly mentions that there is much material in the community about maintaining relationships. Notice, however, that 2 lines of the post are aimed at that aspect, while the rest of the post is focused on one night stands, implying that guys should want to do better than a fat girlfriend, that a guy sucks if he hasn't slept with more than 5 women, etc.

I believe that there are positive sides of the seduction community, and that some of the material truly is aimed at forming healthy, meaningful relationships. It seems, however, that most of what we hear about is the other side. I'm sure there are many men who want the things offered by this part of the community, and I see nothing wrong with that as long as they are honest with themselves and the women they are targeting. To claim, however, that men who don't want to be involved in the seduction community are:

Personally, I believe that this line of thinking is very shallow. Judging success by how many hot women a man has slept with seem incredibly silly to me. The same goes for people who judge success by the type a car a person drives or how big their house is. Those things are superficial, and mean nothing about the person or the level of success they have attained in their life.

I'm glad to see that there are women out there who don't fall for the PUA tactics, and are instead interested in building real relationships with a real person. I'm sure there are men who consider themselves a PUA who meet that description, but I suspect those are not the ones who are targeting women for one night stands and trying to prove they are successful at relationships by sleeping with lots of women.
