I find its the opposite. Smart guys connect with smart women. Smart guys need to learn to filter out the women who are not smart and ignore them. Women who are gamers or who work in a technical profession may be exceptions to this rule as they expect men they meet to be bright.

So, it really depends on the educational levels of women and what they studied. And I like to go out of my way to drop the boom on PUAs in front of smart women.

One incident comes to mind.

Scene - bunch of private school grads at spring break. I am chatting them up and pleasantly surprised that they are REALLY smart. One notices I have the Aeneid in Latin on my table so we start talking about Latin.

Meanwhile two Vinnies come over to join us. One notices the book and tries to do a neg. The girls start talking in pig latin and the PUAs just stand there like cows in the moonlight. One asks what language we are talking in.

I just look at him, "Dude, you are not the Latin Lover you think you are."

Nothing like a bunch of women laughing at a dumb expression on a guys face. It was like Perry's 53 seconds.

Is this yet another thread to pile on nerds and the socially awkward?

If these women were intelligent, it's unlikely they went home with PUAs. Women typically don't go home with anyone. Just an FYI. With that said, there's nothing wrong with getting a laugh out of PUAs.

It's a whole, goofy internet subculture. I typically don't think it's nice to make fun of people, but PUAs are a special case.

Wow. You're posting as though you were the PUA who got put down by some woman whose smarter than you. Why assume every girl wants a meathead? (Tsk, tsk)

The difference between PUAs and average ordinary men is that the average ordinary man doesn't have a label for his shenanigans.

I'd even wager that some men--who probably have no idea what the heck the PUA acronym stands for--have been dismissed under the impression that they were using a PUA technique.
