There are still PUAs that peacock, and do magic tricks, and read palms, and who think that step A leads to step B, and step B should lead to sex. PUA materials used to describe methods for the acquisition of the female, using a number or principles or actions that were "field-tested" by the professionals. It was almost like there was no context. It evolved into a philosophical "Why am I doing this?", "What are the underlying factors of the principles and actions in which I've been participating?" - which, in my opinion, scared guys into talking to women or approaching strangers, because if they weren't really feeling "why" they were doing it, they couldn't control their State. Now I'm reading a lot of stuff similar to "take care of yourself physically, develop a personality, develop real feelings about things, do instead of think, set goals" - which leads to self-esteem, self-respect, and self-validation. Then, you don't care anymore, you're doing your own thing, you're talking to whoever you want to, and occasionally you get laid, get a girlfriend, break up, are too busy to pursue women, etc. The new stuff I've seen is geared toward automatic processing and self-actualization, which I think is kind of cool.

A lot of girls know the classic canned lines now, and many can identify when someone is trying to pull out the old Mystery Method playbook. I recently had a guy come up to me and my girlfriend and use the old "is it acceptable for men to wear eyeliner?" routine as an opener.

Just my two cents but I feel that more people are focusing a lot more on developing inner game now as opposed to only og mostly practicing theit outer game. Call me out if I'm way off.
