This point comes up again. I want to address it here.

When people get mad about women not giving them sex in return for their efforts of learning pickup and applying it, they regularily get the reply here that women did not owe them anything.

It is a good point. Raises the question, who owes me something for doing it. After all, I follow a set of rules. I invest my time and effort into getting to know women with the goal of sex. It is work.

Yes, the "rules" were not created by women. They might be wrong.

Yet women don't share true information about how to have sex with them either. So, a very good question comes to mind:

Who does owe me because of following those rules?

After all, pickup gurus create books titled "How to get women into bed". Then they say, you couldn't get every woman. Then they say, it was a numbers game.

So who owes you? If not the woman, not the writer, who owes me?

Who do I do this for? The woman? Most women don't appreciate it.

Also pickup is way too little about punishing women for playing games and way too much about being "mature" as defined by gurus.

Who compensates me for practising those rules when they fail?

In general we do this based on the promise of getting laid. Nobody would care if he wasn't promised to get laid.

Don't reply with just a short paragraph, make an effort.
