This is a good, balanced post.
With regard to PUA being all just varieties of opinions, I get it.
I don't mean to hijack my own thread here; it's still on topic.
I would just like to have seen the days when people were apparently getting laid with an 80% routine / 20% just regular talking interaction. I don't know, personally I think that aspect of the book "The Game" was a work of fiction. In my area, a coach I spoke to said "It was basically back in the 90's when guys were going around spouting routines and having success with that.
But PU, and that book in particular, seem to make it look like this was way more recent.
Was pickup ever really like that? Did those days exist..?. Where it was like, "Say this, okay then say this, now clinch the deal by saying this and you score!"
About Corey Wayne being that big of a figure and making guys stop hounding girls, I don't know. With all of the videos he has, and then know-nothings recommending him by word of mouth, to an attractive chick who doesn't want to be hit on by unattractive guys, that's a godsend!
Yeah, sure, one guy can only get so big and have so much reach, but every little bit counts.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on Corey Wayne, or if I'm alone here.
At first his videos were inspiring, although he does tend to put out like 10 videos for each concept, wording them a little differently.
His approach is to basically leave women alone, and let them chase you.
Sit at a bar and be cool and confident, and girls will come up to you.
If they become flaky, you say, "cool, let me know if you change your mind." -and then they're supposed to go nuts and start blowing up your phone after about two weeks.
The problem is, guys, every single piece of advice on how to handle things with a girl has fallen absolutely fucking flat.
Girls that flake and I say, "Cool, no problem", well, I never hear from again.
He also says, "Never confirm dates; that makes you look weak and needy." One girl could only do something with me in 10 days because of her travelling/schedule/out-of-town friend. I followed like he said, and didn't hear a fucking word from her. She was gone. What a bunch of horse shit!!!
If you were having beers with a buddy of yours Thursday after work, scheduled earlier that week, you'd confirm that wouldn't you? Sounds to me just courtesy.
A buddy of mine who gets way more play than I do said, "Dude, if you're going to schedule a date out with a girl 10 days out, you better be doing some confirming. If it's a week out, confirm the day before or 2 days before.
He even suggests "boyfriend destroyers" (e.g. If a girl tells you she has a boyfriend when you ask her out, tell her "Oh, that's great, he can keep you busy when you're not doing stuff with me"(CREEPY!!!))
If a girl tells you she has a boyfriend when you ask her out, that's not a shit-test. She either has a boyfriend, isn't interested in you, or is just plain sexually unavailable in some other way.
I ran some of these concepts by a friend of mine who also gets a lot more play than I do:
"No girl who has flaked on me who I've said, 'cool, no problem, just hit me up some time' has ever called me back later. Ever.
and... "No girl who has disappeared on me has ever resurfaced when I played it cool." They're just gone.
I don't think there's any need for me to comment on those suggestions independently. All which is obvious is this...
Self-styled Monets of Muff... "dating coaches," "master PUAs" and other soothsayers of life, love and happiness are a dime-a-dozen on the internet. The efficacy of the suggestions that of all of these people offer is completely unverified and they cannot really be held accountable for anything they tell you. There's no education available on the topic... no Supremo-PUA University, except perhaps some research into sociology, biology and psychology (and other areas) ... which is often either misunderstood, misapplied or misquoted by all of the above people. Perhaps on purpose.
All you're paying for, or not, is someone's opinion on a very wide subject. You better hope they are citing sources or explaining themselves extensively.

Are you really suggesting that one person on YouTube is going to make all men stop hitting on women and/or change how they behave around/with women? This guy's reach is going to get THAT big? Come on, that's the biggest bunch of malarkey that I've heard in a while.
