PUA outs himself on Instagram and women lose their ****.

I’ve only skimmed this thread, but I would say that learning techniques is at its core the de-feminization of men.

Men in our society have been taught to be too forthcoming or giving with women. These techniques generally all seem to help a man to back off, to avoid telegraphing that he’s “all in”, which thereby makes him mysterious and a challenge. It also conveys self-respect.

I am soon to be divorced, so I haven't really been in the dating market for 7 years, having said that I playfully tease but I never neg. The difference is that the neg is a way to try and lower the girls value and if she is really hot it won't affect her therefore the neg comes from weakness. Playfull teasing lets her know that you are interested but not in a weak way, it shows your high value in a fun way instead of an insecure way. Honestly I remember reading the game and thinking to myself that if I had to remember to do all that crap I would have never gotten laid.

A lot of these are just forms of teasing, and if you tease flirtatiously and a girl likes it, it's not like she's going to say "you're just doing this to get me to validate myself to you." I don't think it's the methods they dislike so much as hearing them explained to them or anyone.

I find that the best way to tease is when I say something insulting and it's obvious I'm joking and often mean the opposite. What this guy is doing is kinda backwards, he says something that's halfway nice but really is just insulting.

He's doing it wrong and he doesn't get how it actually works, like every PUA before him.
