Well she brought it up first so I let her talk. It's obviously one of her passions so I tried to to be interested. ( I have a more passive interest in politics)
So who's being phoney baloney now?

I'm new to this whole pua thing and feel like a bit of an ass doing things like palm reading and using openers like "Who cheats more...".I'm not interested in just getting laid but I want an intelligent companion who can talk about deep things. I have a dark sense of humor and want a woman who shares this with me too, it's part of me.
First off, I agree with you. Those canned routines are pretty boring. However, you are deep in the trenches of AFC-dom right now. This isn't the time to be analyzing the game. This is the time to go out and practice. Obviously, what you've been doing has NOT been working. Prioritize and write it down. What is your #1 goal? What is your #2? If you're #1 goal is to avoid "feeling like an ass", then you're already achieving this through your lack of game. If your #1 goal is to meet women, befriend them, attract them, date them, etc . . . then you're going to have to take the risk of trying something new.

i'm pretty frustrated with the way the dating game works I guess you can say, especially in our society. Isn't it possible to get an average girl you have something in common with to like you like without being some phoney baloney? (but using PUA to show you are interested inher?)
See, this is dead give away that you really don't know what the hell this is about. You standing there, thinking that a girl is hot, but talking about shooting politicians is phoney baloney. If you think that a girl is hot, there are ways to EXPRESS yourself through effective means. This is about as truthful as truth can get. You want to engage her in meaningful conversation. You want to kiss her. You want to befriend her. Well, then stop being so damn phoney!

I don't know, what makes me interesting? From what my friends tell me, I am a pretty interesting person. I have a lot of unique hobbies (although admittedly, they're not cool in the eyes of too many women), unique beliefs on life, and try to live life as my own, confident, masculine man. So what do I need to be interesting to women I like?
No, no . . . you already know that you're a bore. Stop lying to yourself. If you were an exciting, interesting person, you'd already have women all over you and your friends wouldn't have to TELL you that were "pretty interesting". Damn it, you really need to break this AFC ego of yours and just start from scratch. Go to the mirror and tell yourself that you are a boring bastard!
Now the good news is that "boring" and "not interesting" are not NOUNS. You can change these things around RIGHT AWAY. But first you need to admit to yourself that you need to improve . . . otherwise, you're going to be stuck lonely . . . and blaming others for being "phoney".
Here's a bit of a clue . . .
"Interesting" and "Exciting" has very little to do with hobbies.
I'm a pilot . . . I am a pro snowboarder. . . I surf the North Shore every winter. . . Do you think any of this turns a girl on?
Women want to feel sexy. They want to feel desired. They want to go on adventures. They want to laugh. They want to be touched. They want to feel safe. They want to be reassured. They want to be accepted. They want somebody to elevate their happiness . . . even when they are happy. If you think your stamp collecting hobby or some break dancing hobby or whatever it is that you do will provide any of these things, you're really, really lost. You are not in the position to be analyzing.
Seriously, stop thinking your way through this game. Just do it. Write down your goals first of all. Then write down 2 openers . . . that's it. Go out and open 10 sets. If all goes well. Write down 2 routines for follow up. Then go open 10 more sets. DON'T THINK. Your thinking is only going to F you up and you'll most likely go right back to your habitual cycle of:
"My Hobby this and that" - "Oh, she must not like me" - "She must be shallow" - "I don't like this game" . . .
