In addition a intimate love relationship gives a lot of power to either make the partner feel bad or feel good.

Hmm, love could be about power- I like that perspective. Thanks.
As for your 'average pickup artist'...most start out as such gushing little huggy bears that if they didn't focus on the balls-to-the walls side of things they'd find it very difficult to change their previously unsuccessful behaviour into something more effective.
Generally I will avoid anybody who calls himself a "PUA" though because invariably they are insecure weirdos and are annoyingly keen to go and hit on women... I should know, I was one. Once they stop identifying themselves as "PUAs" and start being "successful men" I'll hang with them.
