		<description>When I first saw at this picture, I was like, &#039;Dude, you have got to be fucking kidding me.&#039;  Insecure men should just print this out and tape it on their wall so they can be reminded everyday that, if THIS loser thinks he&#039;s hot shit and can get laid, then anyone can.  See, this PUA stuff works!</description>

		<description>Very well, &lt;b&gt;MaSir&lt;/b&gt;I&#039;m willing to listen.

&lt;i&gt;&quot;I may try to win a over woman to come out on top (no pun intended) and beating out any formidable male contenders who are also trying to win her over.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Ok, so how do you do that?

&lt;i&gt;&quot;my philosophy regarding such has always been the same. No idea is 100% original.&quot;,&lt;/i&gt;

That is illogical &lt;b&gt;MaSir&lt;/b&gt;, the first of any idea is, by definition, 100% original.
But I understand the utility of synthesis.

&lt;i&gt;&quot;do you have any other materials to recommend?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;
Let me wait on that. I&#039;d like to better understand where you&#039;re coming from.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;First of all it’s not really a Game—nobody is keeping score.&lt;/i&gt;

Its not referred to as a Game so much because of score keeping, but more so because of the competitive aspect of activity.  I may try to win a over woman to come out on top (no pun intended) and beating out any formidable male contenders who are also trying to win her over.

&lt;i&gt;PUA is a melange. It’s 2 parts common sense, 1 part Dale Carnegie seminar, and about 20 parts selfish, sexist, misogynistic, arrogance. &lt;/i&gt;

What you may say may be true depending on which PUA you receive training from, but my philosophy regarding such has always been the same.  &lt;b&gt;No idea is 100% original&lt;/b&gt;.

P.S.  Besides Dale Carnegie and Anthony Robbins, do you have any other materials to recommend?  Again King, I&#039;m not saying PUA is the only method for success in meeting and building relationships with men and women.  I am simply giving credit to where I learned it from.  I am always open to check out other material regarding the matter.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Actually, I used many tools from PUA which proved to be effective. I learned more about the Game from OG PUAs than anywhere or anyone else&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

First of all it&#039;s not really a Game—nobody is keeping score. It&#039;s much bigger and much realer than that. But secondly, what we&#039;ve been saying all along is that PUA is a melange. It&#039;s 2 parts common sense, 1 part Dale Carnegie seminar, and about 20 parts selfish, sexist, misogynistic, arrogance. So, if a few things work for you, that you learned from PUA, then you can just chalk that up to the parts borrowed from either common sense, or the Dale Carnegie seminar. The rest is rubbish.

The pity is that if a guy starts using PUAisms to try and get at the womenz, he will inevitably credit his success to their METHOD. But he might have been just as successful if he had gained the confidence to approach a woman by any other means out there. Yet, he never sees any of his failures as a result of the METHOD—only the successes.

Think about it.

I&#039;m not saying that it&#039;s impossible to get any good advice out of the PUA teachings, but it&#039;s like trying to fish Cheerios out of a porta potty.</description>

		<description>Well I know for one thing.  You guys really seem to hate PUAs.

Actually, I used many tools from PUA which proved to be effective.  I learned more about the Game from OG PUAs than anywhere or anyone else.  Its helped me in many ways when interacting with women, but in no way would I call myself a PUA.

Just call me a male humanoid.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Their methods have been proven to work, but this goes for PUA as well. I’ve used the line of “Who lies more, men or women?” once in my entire life when I first started reading PUA material but haven’t used it since. Why?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah, but just because you learn to use a tool from PUA doesn&#039;t mean that you are practicing PUA, any more than learning a single move from Kung Fu means that you can now call yourself a Kung Fu fighter. PUA is the total and collective theory of asshattery disseminated by the Captain Morgan wannabes.</description>

		<description>Masir,

Thanks for your comment.  I&#039;m glad it worked out.

MT,

That image made me laugh!  Captain Morgan would make a great PUA!</description>

		<description>Everyone&#039;s got a little PUA in them.  Do you?

Insert imagine of a guy with a Captain Morganesque goatee/soul patch/ chin strip doing a fist pump here.</description>

		<description>I understand.  I think both you and King bring up valid points.  Personally, I had listened to and read some of Anthony Robbins and Dale Carnegie&#039;s material.  There&#039;s a reason why they&#039;re successful.  Their methods have been proven to work, but this goes for PUA as well.  I&#039;ve used the line of &quot;Who lies more, men or women?&quot; once in my entire life when I first started reading PUA material but haven&#039;t used it since.  Why?

Simply because I&#039;ve evolved from being what you call a &quot;sketch artist&quot;.  Nowadays, when I want to speak to a woman because I&#039;m interested, I&#039;ll try to conjure up something original and just talk to her.  This is what I think is lacking from many Asian-American men - the willingness and the courage to just say &quot;Hi&quot;. Even to this day its still scary, but PUA actually acted as a catalyst in pushing me to muster the courage to approach a woman &lt;b&gt;AND attract&lt;/b&gt; her.  I&#039;m emphasizing the word &quot;attraction&quot; because the last thing I want is another female friend who whines to me about her relationship problems or how much she likes this white guy.  No spank you.

With that, its a shame and a disappointment that a woman was sexually harassed.  Not every female is going to be interested in me or have the same attraction switches.  In fact, probably only a select few.  Just because some guy may be a PUA doesn&#039;t make him God&#039;s gift to women.

Here&#039;s what&#039;s funny though.  Just as men have PUA, women have their own, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ibnlive.in.com/news/class-teaches-girls-how-to-snag-millionaire-husbands/94644-19.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;How to snag a millionaire&lt;/a&gt; services.  Not as widespread as PUA, but I don&#039;t know what&#039;s worse; being used for your body or being used for your money.</description>
