So, in response to Ken Hoinsky's awful "rape manual", this empowered womyn has created a guide on how to pick up chicks the right way.

Here are some choice quotes:

"The bottom line is this: Anything pickup artists say about women is not true for all women.”

“If you’re looking for any formula that will work on all women, you’re doing it wrong, because you’re treating women as vending machines that will dispense sex if you put in the right input.”

In other words, "NAWALT! NAWALT! NAWALT!".

Friedman suggests — wait for it — listening to her. ”Listen more than you talk! Want to let a woman know you’re into her? Pay attention to what she’s saying and doing,” she writes in an email. “Respond genuinely. This may mean you have to pay attention to the fact that she doesn’t want to talk with you, or you’re making her uncomfortable!

Where have I seen this before? Ah yes, the "rape manual":

"As a man, it is your job to lead every interaction with a woman. You want to find something you can both speak passionately about it and run with it. Find commonalities. Ask questions. Get her opinion on all sorts of things."

Thorn says her chief complaint with the PUA community is that it often frames women as the enemy. “The way we frame our relationships helps us decide which tools to use: If you feel like your partners are enemies, then you are likely to use social tactics that hurt them,”

Above the Game Part 9 "This abundance mindset is what allows you to give without presumption, without expectation of getting something in return. You enrich the lives of those around you and the world repays you for it. Think about the difference in mindset... You're taking a girl you met on an amazing date, not because you hope to sleep with her (even though you do), but because you're amazing to be around and you only get to spend your valuable time with a select group of people. You're enriching her life by being in it, staying positive, and taking her on adventures together."

What a monster.

Much of the PUA canon focuses on feigning confidence — by taking up space and seeming unavailable. It’s true, confidence is wildly attractive — but instead of attempting to trick a woman into thinking that you’re a secure human being with a lot going for you, be one.

In other words, "Instead of trying to practice confidence, you should just BE confident."

Instead of practicing drumming, you should just BE good at drumming. Instead of practicing baseball, you should just BE a good player. Instead of practicing comedy, you should just BE funny. Makes perfect sense.

Too often it involves trying to deceive women about who you really are

Makeup, push up bras, high heels, and hair extensions would like a word with you.
