Placebo Effect
I have been thinking about this for a while:
Is PUA just an expensive complicated placebo deigned to give men the confidence to approach women? I mean lets face it, most men (not all) who end up looking in to PUA just lack the self belief in themselves to approach and talk to a woman confidently without turning into a big creepy ball of mess. Guys learn about negs, dhv, escalating etc. but you are essentially telling him to do what he should do as a natural course, giving him a confidence boost to flirt because he has these "secrets" in his arsenal that he doesnt really need. I wanted to see what you guys thought because PUA works to a certain point at getting men to "pick-up" girls but I don't think it is the techniques or school of PU that does it, more the fact that a guy has a crutch of confidence for his approach.... |

these books tell you they have mastered a way to get any girl as if by magic. Its an easy sell.
its when people have tried everything they realise. 2 things will happen. they move on and cary on being a bore or they realise that the mild success they did get was due to their own input, and work on that |
All this reading is making me want to go and buy some books.

Agree with the fact that most of the PU materials effect is somewhat placebo, however I disagree with ridiculing them for it, a placebo is after all in plenty of cases a valid and working cure..
Ignorance is bliss as far as I'm concerned with placebo, why fight against something that's either going to help you or have no effect? |

PUA imo is a Californian fad that has got a little bit out of hand. They do seem to love their magic pills over there
