[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay all you PUA guys, what do you do if you don't want just a friend and also don't want just a one night stand? Would you neg a woman you wanted to date, or get to know better? Why the rush to have sex by the third date?? DH and I met online dating when I was 31 and he was the second man I went out with; he's a silver fox, intelligent, witty, and makes a solidly middle-class income. We didn't get together because I was young and foxy or because he's rich and full of sperm (I'm infertile so...), we got together because we genuinely enjoyed being together and built a loving, egalitarian, trusting relationship. Our relationship is the envy of my friends, or so they tell me frequently. And he never had to insult me.[/quote]

I don't think you are a typical PUA target.

Oh trust me- nearly any woman is a PUA target.  These men are fairly desperate anyway- for ANY kind of female attention at all. [/quote]

Again, it's not the female attention they want. They don't give a shit about women except as markers with which they can can compare themselves against other men.

But, having written that, I guess there is another group of men who do want female attention that use these tactics. They can't get the attention by doing what women say they want. They pay attention to women as individuals but inevitably find that these women just want to be friends. They see women fall for the PUA shit or, at least, going out with men who don't treat them very well. They figure that, despite what women say about wanting a guy with a good sense of humor who treats them with respect, etc; what a lot of women are romantically interested in boils down to being sexually attracted to a good looking dude who is showy about his confidence. These guys are easy marks for the PUA grifters who sell them a plan on how to meet women.

Just an aside, but have you seen the Cracked takedown of "Wingman Magazine"? Epic. "Wingman Magazine" is some kind of sketchy publication giving horrible "red pill" dating advice:
