For the second night in a row another PUA has attempted to hijack my set, even once i Identified to him I was a fellow PUA.

Rule #1: The one who opens the set OWNS the set. Don't mess up a fellow PUA's set by busting in.

IF you dont know its a fellow PUA then whatever, but if the guy does somthing to ID himself to you....chill out.

Pissing me off that some PUA's have no respect for others in the community.

TOnight I was ready, and blew him out of the set....but come on guys, respect each other.

Ditto on this man.

We HAVE to respect each other.

Yeah, it makes the whole deal a whole lot harder. Everyone is more successful when you help each other instead of taking over the other person's set. Sometimes it happens and it isn't intended, but sometimes you have control over it and need to be aware.

If a guy ID's himself to you as a PUA then help him or get the hell out of the set since you don't know what's going on. It does happen by accident that a wing takes the target, but that's bad communication from the wing to the PUA.

When I go out and wing I know what my buddy's codes are for who's the target, when the want to eject, and whether or not I can try to recover the set. The reason I know this is we plan in advance.

My advice to you if you come upon someone elses set and you don't know the guy, bow out gracefully, and find another set. Work together not against each other. There are billions of women on the planet, go find another. A good wing can tell DHV stories about the other guy, and build him up. He has stories and routines prepared to help the PUA achieve isolation. He brings a good energy to the set, and the PUA has to DHV intro him. If you can't do this, get the hell out of the way.

Oh come on guys. Just because we practice the pick up arts doesn't mean we have to avoid confrontation at all times in the field. The same rules apply to ALL obstacles, male or female, PUA or AFC. We befriend and AMOG, neutralize and conquer.

Now if you actually know the PUA in the set or are on good terms, then by all means show him the same courtesy you would any other friend of yours. But if he's just some stranger who's sniping away at the hottest targets in the venue (specifically, YOUR targets), then by all means put your and his skills to the test. If there's a girl you really like in the joint, and you don't know the PUA sarging her, why should you back off just because he can run some routines and flip her switches? Martial artists hone their skills by sparring and competing with each other. Venusian artists should do the same.

i agree with this, if ANY PUA ID's himself when I enter a set I'll either bow out or try n help him a bit with obstacles n AMOG's...its a common courtesy. I sarge with Hobbit sometimes and he actually jumped in for me and handled a obstacle tjhe other night, then he bowed out when she was taken care of
