This is your definition. This is not the definition everyone works with. This is actually a very easy concept to understand. Not everyone defines "having game" the same way you do.

But clearly you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge that not everyone is working on the same sheet of music regarding terms and definitions. You've taken a "my way or the highway" approach to it, not a very intellectual approach at all.

I'm sure you do. I never accused you of anything otherwise.

Before I was married I was successful in casual dating and relationships. I never struggled to approach women, generally had good success in a wide range of cold approaches as well as taking casual friendships to the next level. I was certainly not a player and never had "game." I was just myself. I sometimes share thoughts and ideas with some guys I knew who struggled with women. I was not a PUA, I was just a friend sharing some ideas on what had worked for me.

I do not consider myself a PUA. Just a guy who has benefited from some online reading that has helped me in my relationships.

I think men should focus more on what happens after getting the woman's phone number and going out on a date. That whole...relationship part.

Our culture is so rooted in hooking up and meeting people for the first time, but there's little discussion on what to do afterwards.

It's a standard term that all people use. If you think this is a PUA term you need to get out of the house a little more.

Too many nonsense myths about PUA


Good PUA guys just teach you to be confident, fun, playful and have the right kind of energy to be attractive to women. The canned pick up lines and routines, the ridiculous outfits - that stuff is the extreme side of PUA that people tend to fixate on. It's not what the core beliefs of PUA are


It's the same thing as bodybuilding. People think that if you're into bodybuilding, you're trying to be a 300 pound juiced up monster, not realizing that there are plenty of men and women who enjoy bodybuilding who are natural, healthy and attractive

lol yeah, but don't bother man. All they can do is whine about some terminologies because they have nothing more. It's all good.

Does not change the fact that this is basically what PUA is, you're just too stubborn to agree. Whether you agree with the terminology or not.. you're basically explaining exactly what we've been saying.. except you refuse to say it has any resemblance to PUA.
