But but...she's pretty!

Pretty women DO have it easier, so I don't know if I would trust a pretty girls advice on dating. I bet she could walk into a bar and leave with 10 guys phone numbers even if she told them she had 3 kids, was unemployed, no college and a high school dropout.
If your real personality is passive, deferential, and somewhat effeminate and you are heterosexual and struggling, then yes, I think you should tweak your attitude somewhat, at least on the first few dates. I know they say Just Be Yourself, but ...



You don't have to look like an SI model to get that. There's lots of women who boast of being attractive and have multiple men chasing them that look nothing like Kate Upton.

.

If you read about PUA, some of that stuff works on dumb girls who go to clubs , etc etc . At the same time, those PUA sites do a great job in simply transforming a person, if you really read it.. it's not about lying to women and being a fake person; it is about being happy with your life, learning to know that you're a great person and to tell yourself that you are worth any woman and not have to worry about approaching anyone. There are also certain things to do, dealing with psychology such as minor touches and things like that that really can help. They are actually pretty smart guys.

There are other things though, like that guy wearing binoculars and things like that.. sure it can work on some but they look like an idiot in the process , I wouldn't do that.

I however wouldn't completely dismiss what they say on there, although the only reason I can admit reading through that stuff is because this site is anonymous

PUA is for cowards. Wear a funky piece of outfit, reherse one liners and made up stories all to trick women into your bedroom. Give me a break. Yeah, you may get laid a couple more times, but you learn absolutey nothing about real male/female dynamics. Very often PUA guys find someone they want to finaly settle down with, but their idea of how to treat the opposite sex is so distorted that they are in major trouble. Try being a man, not a PUA artist.

I hate games too. And I would never play games with a woman. But some of the stuff on confidence and cockiness did work on the last woman. Hard to tell if it was the PUA stuff or me that worked, but it worked. Know what I mean?

It's confidence and friendliness/joking around is what they say, they don't tell you to be an arrogant jerk or a cocky bastard

There's a lot of things they talk about that DO work, but are pretty lame on there. I'm not too sure why everyone thinks it is about lying and being someone you aren't though.. it's about being exactly who you are and being happy with that. That's the basic fundamental of it all and really the only thing that's necessary.

I am generally referred to as a "hot girl" and am approached on the daily.

My current boyfriend is the perfect blend of being a genuinely good person and a totally over-confident a$$. In other words, I guess those tactics work, because he won me over like no other. Sure half the time I couldn't believe some of the crude stuff coming out of his mouth (mostly directed at me and my slim but voluptuous physique), but at the end of the day I could tell how caring he was, and the combination (good vs. bad boy) set me on fire.

I agree and you see how for example the answer above "oh I would fertilize her eggs," "I don't care what she has to say," sure they're just random statements/jokes but you see how they get all googly eyed over this type of woman. She can pretty much be any kind of scumbag as long as she looks like she does, they'll take her.

Yes, but that example is only useful for bedroom activities. Most guys wouldn't see them as anything else.
