idk about "skewed responses", but I could make heads or tails of the OP. Could someone boil it down for me? What's the question?

They are thoroughly conventional, the same old-fashioned, macho boilerplate men have been serving up to each other from bar stools and in locker rooms since forever.
In terms of the actual "picking up process yes",

but seriously, it would thinking outside thinking outside the box yes, to be "hmm . . . bringing flowers on the first date doesn't seem to be working? Am I coming on too strong? is she not into me?" But bringing flowers on a first date does seem like the right thing to do, but after awhile a guy has to try something else.

Maybe what I meant to say, is that maybe the PUA movement might simply trigger guys simply to think differently, even if the PUA movement itself may be a money making scheme, with specific pieces of advice that may not be the best.

PUA is a lot better than the desperate losers here bitter because women won't go out with them. There's a lot more woman haters on here that can't pick up women for the life of them than people who know how to get out and talk to them.

Maybe if people here were smart enough or had the brain capacity to realize there are good and bad aspects, and that people have the brain power to decide between information... things could be different.


To the OP, whether or not you have vaild points is useless because no one listens to a word.

Yeah and everyone was single at one time or another. The married folks advice is just as if not more valuable than single folks. Also, the advice from the women is at the very least the insight into what women think.

I never did figure out what the OP was trying to say, or ask, or argue. Oh well.

Unfortunately, I fear you are correct.

Do you know what's actually funny? Your posts about not being able to get girls. They really make me laugh.

You're obviously a much better authority on women than any of us. I'm sorry for questioning you.
