I wrote this a couple of days ago when something I read online made me feel particularly disillusioned with the game. This does not reflect my official view, it is something that occured to me at one time:
Most people think pua culture is either a scam or manipulation of women. I've read this type of thing multiple times in the past week: '... I don't think the 'game' matters much. I think 'game' is just a BS concept created by this male pickup artist culture. all those fancy pua guide terminology serve only to convince the average guy he can't succeed with women without all the seminars and articles and dvds that cost $$$'
Sometimes i think that is right. Out of all the books out there, there is little original information. a lot of the information gets repeated in various ways.
And i think, especially with mm literature, there is a big focus on mechanics - i.e., did you disqualify after opening? did you dhv before going into c2? - all of that just seems trivial compared to the big things, which are trying to improve yourself as a person, and making an effort to develop your social circle.
I think that me and my friends have been working on the game for six + months now, trying to refine our 'game'. Really, the best thing it has done for us was to get us out there and forced us to take the initiative for a change. The other stuff - when and how you disqualify, what types of DHV's, C2, whatever - these are trivial compared to making yourself into a person of value.

Yeah, it's a trip man how we all talk in code. If I hadn't been in the community for a while and visited the mASF acronym page a lot I wouldn't have understood my wing's trippy critique to a FR:
I think a refusal to qualify herself indicates that not enough attraction has been built. So when you attempt to CT and she refuses, you know you then IOD (punish bad behavior -- or neg/disqualify), DHV, and then throw another CT. Hopefully the punish-reward system, in conjunction with the DHVs, will yield better results the second time around.
=O ! ...heh, anyway I'm glad you're figuring out it's just about having fun and meeting people. When you let go of the outcome and the logistics, you'll pick up natural game. Congrats!
I think you're absolutely right on here.
Also remember a lot of people (women and guys who identify closely with women...MRAs call them "manginas";)) hate the idea of a PUA culture because they want to retain woman's right as "choosers" and also don't like the fact that we expose women's inconsistencies and immorality in dating.
Just a thought.
