It paints women as less than human, since apparently they are governed by their survival instinct and nothing else. But it also de-humanizes men by claiming that men will never deserve or acquire a mate until they master this power/manipulation game. In reality, it simply sets up a hierarchy where the pickup artist is on a lofty pedestal above everybody else because he's mastered the dynamics of power.

Pardon the vulgarity here, but I need to tweak something you said: the Pickup Artist is placed on a high plane than "Average Frustrated Chumps" but pussy is what is put on the pedestal.

There's nothing "manly" about that. In a backhanded way these dudes are actually surrendering their "masculinity" to women. They are basing all their actions on whether or not women will let them into their vajayjay.

These dudes are nothing more than a woman's play thing. Most girls realize very early on that sex appeal is very powerful. Men who are physically commanding and bully other guys can be led around the nose by women who know how to work sex appeal. PUA stuff plays into that.

Quote:Which has led to the rise of the pickup artist, a guy who is so desperate to get laid by girls who are so morally bankrupt that it all gets reduced to calculations of power.

Yes, the guy is desperate but it's not just moral bankruptcy, it's a guy who is too stupid to realize that he's actually surrendering his power to women.
