Male makeup that you don't take off, and over time it actually makes you more naturally attractive as the "alpha male" behaviors you're aping become ingrained.
Pickup a essentially quick fix where you pretend to be something you're not, you're faking it until you make it. In that sense it is very much like a wonder bra or makeup. However, unlike cosmetic changes, pickup can be a holistic self-improvement process where the benefits become permanent. This takes time, effort, and a whole lot of experience to become a reality though, so not everyone accomplishes this. This is why a lot of guys who start down this path get a girlfriend, but 6 months later things fizzle out and they're back to square one.

No. If you think this, you're still in the matrix, you've just learned a few tricks. Women wear makeup. Are you a woman?
"Our feminist, globalist handlers would love nothing more than to keep young men — the most dangerous and potentially revolutionary group in any civilization – completely distracted by tang. And while it may feel like asserting dominance (in conveniently the most harmless way possible), if everything you do is designed to make you more appealing to women, you’re an eager vibrator. When your muscle is just for show, when everything you do is to make yourself more desirable, you’re playing the female role. When your worth as a man depends on how many women you can lure to your loins, you’re just a gigolo."
This, btw, is why there's a connection between /r/theRedPill and /r/nofap or /r/pornfree. Being slaves to our dicks is part of what got us in to this mess.

It's a valid comparison. Game can temporarily make a man's SMV jump from a 6 to an 8 if the changes are superficial.

Moreover, if the intended goal is to get laid and move on, then a superficial change is all that's necessary. A man seeking a relationship would have to keep up the charade for as long as he wanted the relationship to last.

The language in that thread is disturbing, or is it just me?

there's no such thing as "male make-up" (save for hollywood and celebrities). just because something makes you more attractive doesn't mean it qualifies as make-up; game doesn't alter your appearance and looks like make-up does.
this is why good-looking guys have lots of girls chasing after them and why there are lots of pretty girls with average-looking guys. because guys don't get make-up, so the ones who are attractive are naturally attractive. there aren't nearly as many good-looking guys as there are girls, because girls do have the benefit of make-up. a lot of girls can actually look pretty now by painting their face, even if they're not so pretty naturally. so girls really just have to look pretty to pick-up guys (because their looks is something that they have a lot of control over), while guys have to learn game.
edit: pick-up for men is what make-up is for women, but the two are not equivalent. not by a long shot. i have way more respect for a guy who's learned fantastic game than a woman who knows how to make herself look hotter. plus, showering or wiping your face doesn't magically make your game go away now does it

I mean, sure if you wanna make this comparison go right ahead. It's actually a fairly valid comparison, imho. PUA is important to study for a while. In fact, I think it's pretty essential that all men practice seduction and understand the core concepts. However, obsession with seduction and trying way too hard to seduce women all of the time ends up becoming a counterproductive behavior, turning you into an arrogant womanizing prick or a supplicant performer just like wearing way too much makeup makes a girl look like trash that's desperate to get attention.
It is important to note that the right amount of makeup on a girl can really accentuate her most attractive features and enhance her appeal. If she knows how to put herself together then she is more appealing. Same thing with seduction: knowing how to appear confident and communicate your intentions non-verbally and calmly is also appealing if you do it right.
