Title is fairly self-explanatory and I'm sure many of you have had to face this situation is some shape or form.

I know the standard cookie-cutter way to deal with this is the old "just cut them out of your life, eliminate negative and toxic people" approach etc...but this situation is a bit more nuanced in that:

1) My family and friends are overall positive influences in my life, and add value to my life. If they were outright toxic then maybe I'd cut them off, but they are positive, supportive and conducive to my self-improvement and social life and are people that I genuinely like and care about.

2) Their disapproval/advice comes from a good place, with good intentions. They aren't being bitter, jealous, or hateful, but simply think that I'm going down "the wrong path" by dating more than one girl at a time. It's not their fault that the society we live in bluepills them with Disney happily-ever-afters and Hollywood romantic comedies and BS about a "soulmate" and "the one", but of course when people near and dear to you don't like what you're doing, and you're not gonna stop dating/having girls in your rotation, then an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

How do you deal with friends/family (who are too close/dear to you to cut off completely) who don't like that you are dating multiple girls, or engaging in the seduction/pickup lifestyle without causing them too much upset?

Do you:

a) Try to explain it to them in a kind, understanding way, and that it isn't a bad thing to know how to relate to women, understand them, make them smile, click with their emotions etc. Older family members may need to understand that times are changing, and things aren't what they used to be in their days where they met a girl on the bus, gave her flowers, then ended up marrying them and staying together for the rest of their lives. Female family members may need to understand that as guys, our value goes up with the more girls we hook up with (unlike females whose value goes down if they fuck any and every guy out there).

b) Do everything to hide the pickup lifestyle from them. It means lying about where you're going out in the evenings, being discreet with texts/Tinder/phone calls with girls (or lying, saying "I'm talking to a colleague on the phone"), turning off notifications from dating apps so they don't pop up on your phone when you're spending time with friends/family, changing the subject of conversation when they ask about dating etc
