Im not really sure if this thread is still alive, but the hell with it, I'm posting
I discovered the community (and this web) by accident. I find it both unbelievably useful and surprisingly douchbaggy, depending on what I'm reading at the moment.
the thing is, I find some thing considered "legal", such as the so-called boyfriend destroyer routines, as a dick move. Our (or my) goal was and is not to trick women into having sex with us PUA. From my perspective, and given my own needs, I'm only after a better understanding of the female mind and what it responds to, if possible not while trying to screw other people.
funny thing, my last girlfriend was the best one. ever. and I didnt 'got' her by using any routines, steps, techniques, anything. at least not conciously. and I told her all this things I knew, with full disclosure and honesty. she wasnt mad, not even upset.
Personally, I only want to be a better person, in every aspect. aspects such as enhanced social awareness and love life, and I find the principles of the PUA community to be AWESOME when working on it.
Happy new year!
