Haha, am I really that predictable? Good call on my objecting, though.
There are four valuable things you can learn from the PUA community: Fake it until you make it, build confidence to make yourself a better person, the majority of pickup artists are worthless human beings, and the average pickup artist is a pathetic manchild with stunted social development who has a warped perspective of interpersonal relationships and bases his self-worth on how many warm holes he's stuck his dick into because he substitutes his ability to follow a formula and manipulate women for having any redeeming qualities as a person.

Pickup is wrongly titled because it centers on the male slut. But those (all of them) who have perfected the skill, grew out of that stage.

Not really. Maybe a few of the famous ones, but take a look at Mystery. Confident, women find him attractive, and when a long-term girlfriend broke up with him he ended up in a psych hospital for a few weeks because he couldn't deal with it. The "community" (not just guys who read The Game and think they can get women) aside from the famous ones is full of the sleaziest, most reprehensible people you can find in daily life.
