The tricks used by 'pick-up artists' are employed by a specific subset of boys and are effective on a specific subset of girls. I believe it to be a fallacy to attempt to apply that specific circumstance to a broader population.

I know the whole PUA thing is geared towards guys getting 'party girls' to open their legs. My point is that it demonstrates on a very basic level that being confident within yourself and not coming across as a subservient ass-kissing man will make you more attractive to women. I believe that to be true 99.9% of the time. When I refer to masculinity, I'm not talking about bone-headed macho displays of violence. I'm talking about coming across as sure of yourself and confident, without taking it too far. Some people obviously have those traits naturally built in to them, but others don't.
