Again, prove me wrong. I haven't seen one actual "PUA footage" video yet of a non-handsome guy "closing" or what-have-you, except for the fakes that were outed. I've seen a lot of sideways quickie blurbs of the girl laughing uncomfortably and one or two of two drunk 19-year-olds making out and falling onto a bar. Yeah, about par for the course whether the guy gives good "negs" or mumbles the alphabet backward on spring break and tosses a drink the girl's way.

I'm nobody to say, do what you will. But when it comes to assertions that there's proof out there somewhere, and then there isn't any, well....

'nuff said.
Lol. Ok non handsome guys are gonna get burned way more often than good looking guys. There's real videos out there, you're not looking hard enough. They are literally all over youtube.

I'm realtively good looking and game works well for me, except I don't use it to burn girls, I use it to initally build attraction for a girl I'm interested in dating. And the silly BS you ramble about is not game, its an awkward guy failing miserably at creating attraction.

Why? To please a few girls who complain about what they don't even understand?

So, what happens when the 'game' stops for you? What happens if she realizes that you've been pretending to be something you're not to get her attention? If you're using some of the skills to become a better person overall then that's awesome. I think people should learn to be complimentary and kind and a bit more outgoing in general if they need it, but if you 'fake it until you make it' isn't that just manipulation?

I am not going to waste opportunities doing something I have no skill and no desire to try. I don't think I can manipulate women or even be comfortable with that.

...but, I have never seen a man spitting lines at a woman.

Oh, I understand it. I've known many guys who are self proclaimed 'pick up artists'.

It's not my fault the D-bags have taken over and become a bigger voice than the 'normal' guys.

Go for it, give us a full report.

p.s. It's hilarious how some men are so wimpy-arse scared of women in general that not wanting to be insulted and then scr*wed means one is a "feminist." LOL. Cute!
I'm still trying to figure out when being called a feminist became an insult.

I'm not faking anything. It is who I am. I naturally make jokes and rip on people in a funny way, I don't bend to anyones will, especially a woman I just met. The "game" never ends, it's internalized. It's called being a man and interacting with women as such.

.
But aren't the videos all over youtube completely set up? Some dude trying to prove what a stud he is is going to post only the videos that make him look like a stud. Not the ones where women laugh in his face, or he gets thrown out of a bar for harassing women.
