What PUA teaches men is to have the confidence to make a move. It does not teach men how to have a good personality at all. In fact, it often teaches the opposite of what women would consider a good personality (i.e. being nice). But a lot of women do like confidence and some will respond positively to that display.

WakaFlocka is there some reason you can't spell out pick up artist? If you send texts to women and they have to guess at half of what you are trying to say they are not going to be very interested in responding to you. They are going to think he is too lazy to spell a word or he doesn't know how to spell a word.

I cant imagine using the term pickup artist and I have never heard an adult say it or use it in anything other than a derogatory manner. I REALLY cant imagine that anyone would use this so much a handy dandy abbreviation is required so they need not go through the drudgery of typing it out over and over.

Women don't aspire to being a pua because quality means more than quantity to us. We don't brag to our friends of how many times we got laid like little schoolboys. Not exactly an achievement, even for men. It's easy, empty and pathetic to care about something that means nothing. Plus, we care more about having a relationship but if the need arises to pick-up, it's not a problem.

In my country, girls go into town to meet guys. Girls decide who they will take home and who they won't. Is that a PUA?

On the other hand if you conciously spell something wrong early at least you'll weed out the pretentious hags who point their fingers at non-issues, like spelling for example. Besides picking on spelling is what people do when they want to complain about something but just can't find anything substancial to do so about... Difference is when picking someone up, you just wanna fit whatever she likes for the moment since you'll probably not meet again anyway.
And on the flip side, most women text way more than men do, and will thus learn a larger vocabulary of shorts like "lol" and "bff" etc...

OP, there's no such thing as a female PUA. Why? Because all a woman needs to do is stand around while dressed somewhat provocatively and multiple guys will almost always attempt to talk to her (unless she's absolutely repulsive, but even then, she'll probably find 1-2 takers). You'd be surprised at the percentage of men out here who will sleep with anything with a pulse.

some women do brag about how much they get laid. of course they are considered to be slutty while us guys that do the same are studs.

I abbreviated that one term(a popular one at that) and you're giving me a hard time? You could have contributed with something relevant, but you instead cry that I abbreviated Pick Up Artist?

There are women "PUA" and knowing what you're doing is always better than being clueless...stumbling along, maybe getting it right sometimes, but usually not. You can control conversations and lead how someone will feel about you through verious methods. There are bad habits that everyone has some of that you can downplay if you're aware. Women already do much of it..."naturally".

Many women are not after "multiple guys" or just anyone. They are after a specific guy and dressing like a ***** probably won't work especially if they don't just want sex. They'll steer you through conversations, give postive reenforcements, smile on que, be touchy feely and you'll be telling your friends the next day that she is "wife material". People think "PUA" **** is just used by dudes to have one night stands, when in fact it is useful far beyond that. Read Dale Carnegie "How to win friends and influence people".
