Do PUA techniques actually work or is it too much of being a “set method” for every situation?

It really depends, how you think about it or try to implement it. If you think of it like a math formula, where she does "X", I say "Y" which will produce this exact result, no they won't actually work. If you think about it like sales training, where you learn a lot of different techniques to sway the buyer based on ques they give you, then some of the PUA advice can be valuable. During social interactions you have to be nimble, if you try and stick to a routine or set method you will crash and burn.

A set method is one approach. This sub concentrates more on general concepts. Its more about understanding what kind of behavior is attractive and what is not. In the end behavior is just that though. Most posters here encourage the development of inner game and self improvement in general.

I can personally say from now dating someone out of my league and previous successes, this stuff works. What's not mentioned is how much work it takes to make meaningful and impactful change.

But maybe I don't understand the question. Not sure what you mean by "set method"

Its like reading how to play basketball versus actually playing. It helps but nothing beats practicing and playing the game.

Yes and No:

Here's what you need to understand about PUA techniques: they are a guideline for living your life without fear of rejection when it comes to interacting with the opposite sex. But, they are not a standard of behavior or a solve all for your situation.

It absolutely works. I remember the first girl I pulled after I started learning this stuff years ago, and as I was pulling off her dress I distinctly remember what was running through my mind "omg it actually works, it's all true, every bit of it." Been a lifelong believer of this stuff ever since.

That being said, there is a ton of garbage information around. You have to use your own common sense and intellect to weed out the crap advice, and take everything else with a grain of salt.

Also, you mention "set method", I think you're referring to some of the more rigid methods/strategies that tell you to "say exactly this, then do this" etc... Those will get you results, but not nearly as good (for results or your self development) as learning the skills and adapting them to your own personality and your own self, and being able to adapt in the moment in any given situation.

Two Things:

Part of the "set method" involves listening to the girl and calibrated based on her responses. So even though there is a set method, the results are dynamic.
People are a lot more alike than they are different. Our egos want to believe everyone is a special snowflake, but that simply isn't the case. When you have a strategy and skillset that works on one girl, it works on every girl.*

In what other area of life would we say that a deep knowledge base and 10,000 hours perfecting something doesn't show massive improvement over the rest of the population? Acting, comedy, public speaking, massage, sex, whatever... It's all just skills. Dating is no different.

* Actually, it's probably more accurate to say something like "when your skillset works on >3% of women, it works on 90% of women"

It all depends on who you are listening to...

RSD created the biggest horde of creepiest guys I met. Even more, those guys started to believe that acting creepy was a good thing to do. I suggest everyone I know to stay away from RSD at all cost. Few quality wings I met over the years also ended up with same conclusion.

There are few good guys who give solid advice. Someone named Mark Manson here, he is very good. Check old videos/products from Love Systems. Braddock and Mr. M, were god sent many years ago. Adam Lyons also gave some solid science based advice.

Yes definitely. Especially today where the techniques have been discussed over and over again. They are really refined now and the emphasis is less on automatic behavior and a response sheet. Game and seduction is way more about a core set of beliefs that reflect in your outward behavior making your interactions with women natural, successful, and fulfilling. Search inner game vs outer game. Also see abundance mentality.

NilsFlair · 2018-01-24T18:28:05+00:00

Yes, as long as you keep your core identity intact in the process.

Game is to expand yourself and grow as a person, not to try to become someone your not.

Most of the success of PUA comes from the fact you actually turned off your X-Box, left mom's basement and talked to girls.

the techniques work but you run the risk of sounding like someone else.

WHO LIES MORE MEN OR WOMEN?

lol.

it's a good way to begin learning about concepts in general.

No, they don't work. Most of these "Pick-Up Artists" are wealthy men who get women because of their bank account. They should change their names to "Scam Artists."
