Some of the techniques work really well like touching the girl often. Touching a girl is the best way to escalate a conversation away from the friendzone.
i'm personally fascinated -- not by the pua people or techniques, but in the way the majority of "polite" society interprets and reacts to whole thing. They loathe it.
For example, if some socially awkward guy who has NEVER read any PUA anything walks up to a girl in a bar and insults her, she says, "Oh he must be a PUA. He is trying to neg me." Any poor assh*le who tries a pickup line and fails becomes a de facto "PUA" to them. Meanwhile some guy who actually understands the nuances of it uses it to charm a girl, and PUA never crosses her mind. In that sense it is very amusing to me.
I have friends who are already cool and charismatic people in their own right, and exposing them to a little bit of PUA literature has helped them turn their relationships around completely. They go into it extremely skeptical, take it with a grain of salt, and learn a little bit that goes a long way. It challenges their preconceived ideas about what women are attracted to.
The flip side is that people who are socially awkward to begin with are often incapable of identifying bad advice.
Yes, and it's often those men who are looking at PUA advice and thinking they've struck gold, yet they'll hardly be able to turn themselves around, let alone "turn ice cold women into sexual slaves just by using a few techniques".
I hate pick up lines and smooth talkers. I think sometimes they try to test drive on me because I'm such a quiet person and people usually associate that with docile. But nope, hasn't altered my self-esteem since I was 13.

exactly.
TBH -- at first i thought the OP's cringeworthy comment was evidence of extreme social awkwardness, which suggested that attempting to understand PUA would make his life much worse.
but then i thought.. maybe he's just not a native english speaker... maybe i should give him the benefit of the doubt that this is just a one-time fit of awkward hyperbole.
The only techniques I usually use are the wolf whistle and the blinking.
The wolf whistle is when I see a hot girl walking down the street. 50 per cent of the time they don´t turn their heads to look at me, but I notice a bit of tensión in their body, like if they were doubting what to do (turn their head to look, pretend they don´t notice, start running in panic, etc) and when they do look, I just give them my best smile...in this case they sometimes smile back, they sometimes go a bit agressive. ( been called names sometimes).
And then the blink is in more close, face to face scenarios, for examples bars or shops. If they don´t take it well, i jut can say "no, I was not blinking at you...I just got a nervous tic".
