I know a guy irl.

He's not good looking, he's rather chubby, minority and behaves very beta (does things for girls, overly attached, bakes, sort of anxious, etc).

I always used to think he was a garden variety beta but I recently had a chat with his exes and the info I gleaned blew my mind. He push pulls like a motherfucker (I'm breaking up with you, etc) he does emotional mind games/manipulation to extract what he wants, is very red pill (they didn't use the word but they mentioned he is very cognizant of when he is being taken for a chump) and constantly tries to use his position as group organizer to one-up other males. He also baits emotional reactions like a pro to smash others' credibility. I was frankly very impressed, it seems his beta image is just a facade to lull girls in.

This made me think of something. There seems to be a general consensus on PUA sites that you must tease girls as part of your daily regime. Has anyone tried this strategy of 'pretending to be beta' to hook the girls in, and then pulling a 360 once they're with you? Does it work better than conventional red pill?
