That's the thing with PUAs -- they aren't wrong. What they do works, but it is a fair bit manipulative.
Men being confident attracts women. Appearances only matter so much (whereas they matter a lot in the other direction). I wouldn't consider myself particularly attractive in large part because I'm overweight, but I never really had a ton of difficulty in finding girls.
I very much just don't give a fuck about the games and am always willing to walk away from a shit deal. Women see confidence, and I don't end up wasting my time.
PUAs are so interesting, though - because they show there's a biological basis to gender and attraction, which flies in the face of everything academia wants you to believe.
Women are just as bad at the manipulation as PUAs are.
True to an extent.
But I think the difference is -- women's manipulative tendencies are part of the biological processes in their brain. It's a survival mechanism above all else.
PUAs aren't operating on a survival instinct - they're essentially taking biology, understanding it, and finding out how they can manipulate it into a desired response.
That’s called adapt or die IMHO fren.
Worse. PUA is learned. Women just know for birth how to pull those strings.
The overwhelming majority of women live lies 24/7 through wearing makeup, and countless other examples of physical enhancements.
Women live lies to themselves 24/7 without any external of conscious processes needed. That's why so many of them are anxiety riddled and mentally ill, the cognitive dissonance has taken its toll on them for years.
