As opposed to the woman's handbook for understanding what men say:

''She's just a friend''............no she's not
"Do you want to go out sometime?"...........I want to have sex with you
"I love you".........I want to have sex with you more often
"I want to marry you"......I want to make it hard for you to have sex with other guys
"I think we should see other people"..........I already have mine picked out
"I need some space"............some other woman is interested in me
''I don't know what I want".........I do, and it's not you
"Why was I out so late?"............I'm stalling while I think of something
"My cell phone died"......I had it on silent so I could tell if you called
"I spent the night at Mark's".........Don't trust Mark either
"My wife doesn't understand me"........If you want to get intimate with me it's ok
"My wife never gives me sex"........see above
"I'll leave her soon".........not on your life
"My wife won't give me a divorce"..........the subject has never come up
"I wish my wife were more like you"..........of course I'd still be cheating on her
"I'm staying with her for the kids"..........I'll get a divorce when they're about 40
"We should eat here more often"..........that waitress is cute
"I need new underwear".........someone else is seeing me naked
"I don't care what we have for dinner"........uh..........I don't care what we have for dinner

I don't find Brad Pitt attractive at all.

Isn't he, like, a scientologist or something?

I bet he's one of the PUA regulars here, one who is always whining about how women won't go out with him bec he's short.

Wise up, guys -- it's not looks and it's not money that's the problem. It's how you think about women. We can smell misogyny.

Oh, man, that is so going to be my new PUA line!

'Smells like victory!'

I was just using them as an example of a generic hot guy. The point is that you can always check the validity of a statement by seeing it if would hold true with a hot guy as part of the equation.

My response still stands. I just don't enjoy being approached by strangers. I imagine many women feel the same way.

What is it with your obsession with PUAs? You find a way to mention them in a lot of your posts
