Stumbled onto this website : puahate.com.

Crazy how many people are hating on pick-up, website stinks of guys who cant get pussy and women though.

People that claim to hate ‘pua’ are often referring to very different things. I see three distinct camps.

1)To some people the term 'pua' refers to the exploitative cottage industry of wildly overpriced books and seminars and cowboy scam operators that make a living from extorting money from vulnerable insecure nerdy men with complex psychological/social/developmental issues. They put out all sorts of dangerous, hopeless bullshit and price it like it’s the formula for turning straw into gold.

2)To some people the term 'pua' refers to any man that’s applied focus and energy into a process of personal social and emotional growth. Has checked his ego in at the door and been able to address the short comings in his ability communicate and connect with others and has achieved some degree of objective success in doing so as a result. (A lot of insecure women threatened by the idea of a man they can't manipulate and control like the others, seem to belong to this group).

3)There’s a third group. Passive aggressive nerds who’d once bought into the myth that ‘pua’ was gonna provide an answer to their prayers for sex and validation from women, and that it would plug up the hole in their soul. They have been burned by cowboy pua scam operators (and because they are in fact narrow minded lazy bitches with defective bullshit filters and without a single spine between them), they have have turned hostile and dismissive on the entire notion of self-improvement, decided to reject hard work and complexity in favour of oversimplification and knee jerk dismissiveness. They fail to realise that their continued failures in connecting with people in general (and women specifically) are a result of their own negative, lazy, narrow minded attitudes and assumptions as well a reflection of the deeply flawed, shallow and misogynistic regard in which they hold the very women they claim to respect, crave and desire.

Personally I agree wholeheartedly with the first camp but the second two can go fuck themselves.
