Intro: The downsides to the PUA community

(Article #1 - An ongoing discussion on the downsides of the PUA community)

While in the Philippines last week, I hooked up with a girl I met on a previous trip and grabbed a bite at McDonalds with her and two of her female friends.  It was your classic three-set on a memorable Saturday evening just north of Manila. 

I don't mean to boast, but I was so fucking good in-set that, if I weren't me, I'd be jealous of me.  I could have said anything and they'd burst out in laughter or become hypnotized with interest.  I noticed other girls would steal repeated glances at me as if to wonder "who's that cool guy with these chicks?"  It's a shame I wasn't like this back in high school or college. 

I have PUA teachings to thank for part of my performance that night.  This stuff works.  No fucking doubt about it. 

So it'd probably surprise many of you, particularly my critics, for me to utter negative sentiments towards the PUA community (particularly its professionals).  Despite my spirited defense of the Mystery Method on Soompi, I'm not some fanatic who drank the Kool-Aid and dogmatically believes everything he reads.  There are indeed lots of PUA teachings that are crap, fanciful or harmful.

Over the next few days, I will share on this blog what I believe to be the downsides of the PUA community.  One reoccurring theme will be, PUA skills are vital for meeting people, but you have to fix your inner demons before you will succeed in courtship.  Slaying those demons is a long, arduous and frustrating journey of self-discovery that no quick fix promised by PUA professionals can shorten or circumvent.  In fact, their self-serving quick fixes can even hurt and make life more miserable.

With this introduction, let's begin...
