PUA Methods Create Little Attraction If At All


Of course they're liable to replace one pedestal with another. IF PUAs actually does this they will reek of desperation. Dunno if they do?

On the other hand it's also easy to just give up and blame the women. Bit of a sour grapes thing. Yet replacing irrational veneration for women with misogyny isn't really the balanced way either.

Another thing in the favor of PUA skills is the "locus of control" issue.

Put shortly some people think they are mostly controlled by outside forces and vice versa.

Again, you can go overboard as a noob on locus of control. So don't do that :)

If you're in a social setting, however, it will most likely be beneficial to focus on that which you can control: yourself.
