Original post by dgeorgeThere are some PUA's who do all that stuff, but following from certain methods, the emphasis is on "inner game" instead of techniques.
ALL "PUA's" stress that what is important are things such as confidence, being an interesting person with MORE going for them than being good at picking up women, having hobbies, physical activities, being funny, and generally being a good person.
They stress that the "tips and techniques" that you seem to keep prattling on about (but seem to have little idea on what they actually are) such as ways to interpret body language, how to physically carry yourself, how to maintain eye contact, what type of language to use, how to become an engaging story teller, how to be funny etc are all in the effort to build oneself up and give yourself a better shot. All of these are explained.
They are not "designed" to fool anyone, or objectify anyone, because they are simply based on NORMAL behaviour that not everyone may notice which make men better with social interactions.
At the end of the day, PUA literature is designed to change the MINDSET of a person, and their attitudes and the way they view male female relationship
Sure, there is a LOT of crap in PUA literature, there is some advice that doesn't always help, and there is some advice that may actually be counter productive. But there is also lots of good advice. I say to people, take everything that is said with a grain of salt, think and use your own intuition. Not everything will work, but you can bet that there are some things that do.
Of course, you're not going to listen. You're probably going to go into explaining why everything that I've spoken about that makes sense are somehow "exceptions" to the rule, despite you not really having a good grasp on what the rules are. You've already formed your own opinion, and thus everything I say is going to be put into a filter in your mind to come out to the exact conclusion that you've already reached. Therefore, there really isn't much of a point arguing with you further.
