Hey,
Just finished reading a research paper that was published in the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology that evaluates pick-up (namely MM). I Found it a real interesting read and suggest reading it if you have a couple of minutes to spare, especially if you're new to the game and still have doubts.
As I'm studying Psychology at university myself, seeing all the theories that I've read in the past few months of becoming a pua be backed up by peer-reviewed evidence is hugely reaffirming. Hope you enjoy the read.
