This is an interesting article..
Reading through it, I've realized this sort of PUA technique would never work on me.
First off, I don't really drink, so I'm not sure how the whole "buying me drinks at the lounge" thing would go over. I might show up, but I'd just get a coke or whatever. From that point on, assuming there was any attraction there to begin with, I'd be all about finding out everything I could about my date. If he was ducking my questions, being aloof, etc., it wouldn't go over well.
I'm almost positive I'd notice if my date drinking water. I'd probably ask to try his drink at some point. If he declined I'd be highly suspicious and probably keep pushing the issue.
From the PUA's perspective I'd be giving off a lot of "maybe" indicators to start off. Then it would probably get pretty "brutal" as the night continued and I picked up on more and more deception coming from my date. This would be because: A. I'm not an idiot who wants to have sex with any stranger in a suit after two drinks at some lounge and B. I'm not seeking meaningless hookups in general.
However, Paul's strategy is excellent for finding girls who do want to have meaningless hookups. For that I commend him. This is a very good process for weeding out girls who are either too smart or confident to want to sleep with him, as well as the girls who are looking for any sort of real connection or relationship.
These women he ends up with are not seeking anything more than a gushing affirmation of their own self worth (see what he wrote about emotions and moods) through sex, and Paul is more than willing to provide that to them.
