I love watching those VIP episodes, not just to see real life PUA, but because of the laughs with the hosts. It's really funny. But to get to my point:
Even with the best PUAs, like cajun, I see some things that I personally believe not to do. For example, a lot of these guys introduce themselves and give their name. "What's your name? Kathy? Hi Kathy? I'm Steven".
Now, I never give my name, because I want to see if she's interested and if she's not, then she never asks, "and what's your name?". If she is interested, she'll always ask. I'm checking her interest level that way.
The getting a kiss, give me a hug, "I'll call you", "Let's go out sometime" - all that stuff I see is nonetheless anti-challenge. It leaves no doubt in the woman's mind that you like her - and that she can have you if she so desires. Game over.
So I tend to think that these women pretty much flake on these guys later in time. We never see that. We never see what happens next.
So what it says to me is that women in clubs are under the influence, out for a good time, go for good looking jocks based on their physical appeal AND decent looking guys with smooth, fun game, and give out their numbers many times in one night.
So as long as you are somewhat attractive and project it, you can get a number.
It's when I'm out and notice that all the other guys are stocky, have striped shirts hanging outside their wrinkled jeans, are holding their beer bottles up in front of their chests, in semi circles talking to each other, isolated in these groups, glancing around at women, that I notice correspondingly that the women aren't interested in these guys, these clones, these look alike drones having not much to offer.
I think you have to set yourself apart from the pack, be confident, project it and be fun.
And in so far as looks go: Look the part.
