OK...educate me here, please. No, honest. I want to know.
So...are you guys being PUAs in order to just get laid more and pat yourselves on the back for being really Zen about it? I'm not understanding. Or, are you trying to make yourselves more conscious men in order to meet and relate to conscious women?
As a very attractive woman with very attractive female friends, I just don't like the thought that there are these roving men looking to get with us so that they can brag and make a game out of our affections. It seems predatory. I don't get it.
I know that many of you mentioned the negativity that wrongly-utilized PUA technique can create. I'd love an explanation by the guys on this board (who I hold in very high regard) as to what being a PUA means to you. I'm hoping that it's not just being "Jack the Lad", and is more along the lines of presenting your best face forward in order to find a great woman.
And what makes someone the "best pickup artist" somewhere? The most numbers? Needing to buy a huge, economy-size box of condoms? Feeling poetic as you ride into the sunset and don't call the next day? I'm sorry, me and my girls have shot many of you guys down. You can smell players from a mile away.
I apologize if I sound a bit on-edge about all this, but I just saw another friend get hurt by some jerk who thought that he had mad game, but was cheating or something. I've seen much ugliness done to some really great women at the hands of men who thought that five minutes of their magical time was such an honor. It doesn't seem like PUA is something that is done for the greater good of all involved.
