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.
Errr. I thought the whole PUA franchise was for awkward guys failing miserably at creating attraction.

What's the attraction to PUA if the guy has no problem creating attraction? If a guy has no problem attracting women, why on earth would he be dropping good coin on all those lame programs?

Does not compute.

Yeah, didn't think you could post one.

I'll be back later though to check though, I'd be curious if anyone actually finds a non-bogus one of these.

So, it's your personality and NOT being a PUA?

So what's the problem? Calling your genuine personality as 'game' is kind of ridiculous...I'm extroverted and flirt often and have no issues talking with strangers but I don't call it 'game'.

I don't hate men. I just don't like certain types of men.

According to the women in this thread, the PUA industry does not teach normal interaction.

To me, it doesn't. It teaches manipulation and how to take advantage of women by pretending to be someone you're not.

If you want to learn normal interaction, why not just hang out with people who are normal and interact with each other? I just worry that these poor guys are going to learn some very negative things and that it's going to harm them in the long run.

This is an excellent point. If I hate guys that manipulate women into hooking up with them, or if I hate cheaters, or if I hate men who ditch out on their children does that mean I hate all men?

PUA doesn't work because guys without social skills are trying to follow a formula. I wish people would stop trying to sell formulaic bull**** to these guys that don't have the skill to pull it off. There's a big difference between a womanizer and a PUA. My Dad's father is a womanizer. I have a 22 year old half-aunt, because my grandfather is a womanizer with a lot of kids. A PUA, is some guy that tried to follow a list of cues with a pick-up line. Either you're good with women and can use a "line" to talk to them. Or you're just a normal guy that can socialize and doesn't need PUA websites. Or you lack social skills and should probably be focusing on learning to socialize rather than learning to be a PUA because using someone else's lines isn't going to work.
