The problem with the PUA technique is that while it’s very good for learning how to talk to and even sleep with girls, it’s completely useless when it came to the hard yards of actually maintaining a healthy and ultimately successful relationship. I think RJ kind of reveals this difficulty since he mentioned the toll of past relationships that I’m guessing didn’t work out.
A different poster in recent pages was referred to as incel, not me. I am not.

I have had times in my life as a single & unattached person and times in my life as a person in relationships. Normal. I am not unique. I’m pleased to report zero costly divorces to my name.

The whole environment is tough for a lot of people. Men & women. Then, we have a few keyboard bullies as well. People deserve empathy. I try to be empathetic to others.

The poster who made that post made what I perceived at the time and still perceive to this day as an unsubstantiated personal attack against me. Poster went to other forums to do what poster did. Poster’s actions were classic bullying & intimidation in my opinion. I do not tolerate bullying.

I might not say some of those things I said then today due to some personal growth I’ve made in my life in the last 3 years. I would just keep quiet.

I perceive that post referenced right now as irrelevant to the current discussion since it has nothing to do with Dallas women.

You are totally right. I was associating that incel-ish comment to the OP. Apologies for that!

The whole environment *is* tough. No argument. But the PUA community attitude toward women, and the associated negging, alpha vs. beta BS is incredibly toxic and I reiterate that I would absolutely disengage with no further questions if I felt that was how a man approached women and relationships.

Stuff happens. We’re good now. Appreciate it. In interactions between the sexes, we should take the attitude of being collaborative and look to find ways to enhance each other’s lives. The result may be less toxic interactions. It could be possible that interactions get so harmonious that both sexes can gush about how wonderful interactions are with the other sex.
