I would say that my exposure to PUA has definitely improved my current relationship (of 2 years). Before that I don't think I would have been able to cope with such an attractive strong willed and intelligent woman. Even assuming that I would have been able to "bag" such a woman in the first place (highly doubtful) I would have soon collapsed into a blob of excruciating neediness and driven her off.

I would say the differences are things that I have now assimilated into my core personality: I am "the man" in the partnership, I stand my ground, I am confident, decisive and measured.
