Um why not be both a PUA and a Real Man? It's not like I'm devoting my life to becoming a PUA and only a PUA. I plan to major in business and go on to law school and become a successful lawyer in a big city. Playing the game doesn't impede this process at all. All it does is give me tools to enjoy the road to getting there more. And once I do get there, I'll enjoy the fruits of my labor and whip out the skills I learned when I need or want to. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I'm very happy that I read The Game and was exposed to this community of which i had no idea existed. Any of the information i do retain and use from PUA is all about how to improve myself(confidently) in ANY situation. I have found since that I am doing more things on my own w/o hesitation from girls to bitching about financial aid.

I still never use canned material(maybe I will one day for fun just to field test)...but i try and take all this information on these forums/websites and apply them to the original me instead of copying what OTHERS had thought up. I defiantly agree that girls should not be put on a pedestal above other aspects of life because it's all about having a balance, in which case will most likely be the most beneficial in the end.
