I like PUA, it works really really well, and in te true spirit of PUA it works not only in the classic sexual context, but also in all aspects of life, business, family, etc.. One of the recurring themes that I hear is about being friendzoned, and how this is a bad thing. Another recurring theme is people bragging how fast they closed (in a matter of hours) or complaining how long it's taking. I have a different approach: I friendzone everyone, the more socially beautiful they are, the more I friendzone them; and of course I keep them guessing whether I am interested in them or not, for instance the classic move of looking at another woman saying "she's hot" and when she says something "you're hot too, you know that". The end result is twofold:

    1. a HUGE capital of social validation, and many women, some hot, some less hot are friends
    1. with time, sooner of later someone becomes ready for the picking, so instead of me doing the close, I play them so that they made the close on me.

And the fleet of women friendzoned keeps expanding exponentially.
