Vice article on a former PUA's opinion about PUA's and the pickup culture

The problem with this article is that the author treats the 'PUA community' as one homogenous group, imposes on that group certain characteristics (that only actually apply to a small sub-sect) and then proceeds to criticize the whole group on that basis. It's total bullshit.

Seddit for me is not at all about AMOGing or Girlfriend Slaying. It's not about learning scripts, routines, or learning to pretend like you are confident.

Instead it is about self-improvement, self-reflection, and reinforcing the fundamentals of social interaction and what makes a man more or less attractive to women.

I feel like be benefitted from it and then turned around and shit on it.

AMOGing and freeze outs are very mystery method. While it was a seminal work the community has moved far past it.

I suspect a lot of the things he decries he picked up from The Game rather than the trainings. That stuff is 10 years old. Even the example of the girl who had met several PUAs recently is straight from The Game.

It feels to me that the author briefly skimmed through "The Game", went to a single bootcamp and decided to demonize one very small part of the PUA community. For sensationalist click bait this is an acceptable article. As a look into the PUA community as a whole? It's narrow minded and the author is speaking from a biased and extremely narrow viewpoint.

We don't really need to give more attention to ill-informed critics.
