Do you find PUAs to be sort of "losers"?

I don't like some of the conclusions they draw, but calling men who are looking to improve themselves and who've got the balls to cold-approach in any given situation "losers"? Meh.

I'm finding that smart women also see them as false positive alphas

I don't believe that these women are half as smart as they think. Actually the vast majority of women who would label themselves as being smart are just nagging frustrated bitches and the next sentence will contain something related to "strong wymyn".

A skilled PUA has a good rate of success, and these women might have even been a "victim" of one.

We should also not forget, that RP has it's roots in the PUA-scene and that the two intermingle a lot.

No, game is part of trp. A big part of modern day pua's is inner game and it includes a lot of the things trp teaches.

The main issue I think is that the pua scene attracted to much people. The actual good advice got diluted by people looking for a quick fix and posters who don't understand anything. Nowadays everyone with a funny hat, because he read about peacocking in a magazine somewhere, thinks he's a pua. Look at the decline of Seddit, it pretty useless now, but 3 years ago it was very different.

I think most of the "real pua's" wil move on to "red pill" theory eventually.

A pick up artists drive in life is to have sex, that is pretty pathetic.

I would agree with you.

I think PUAs might come off as 'losers' when compared to men who have embarked on TRP's journey of self-improvement because they seem to be stuck at Level 1 or 2 which consists of conning women into sleeping with them as they are now rather than improving themselves which also improves their chances of a positive outcome.

Also there is the heavy focus on notch count which doesn't seem to permeate through TRP. TRP seems to preach more having steady reliable plates than just running out to the club or bar to slay pussy.

Actually I meant more that people, and especially women, who label themselves as smart, often ar just smartasses.

That was a very interesting and informative read nonetheless. Thanks.

Only if they're like 40 and trying to brag about it.

The ones I have talked to don't seem to care much about what action they get. Its more about the count for them and how much they can increase it. Always trying to raise it. I find it weird as shit.
