i agree, it is
quite concerning to me that all the tricks are being thrust out front and center in the media for people to see.
what if AMOGs pick up on these?
what if HBs pick up on these?
i'll tell you, the reason i'm nervous about using opinion openers is that it may come off as kind of fake. this fear is exponentially compounded by the openers, and the concept of openers, being broadcast on VH1 for the world to see. the last thing i want is to be called out on using "PUA tricks." (Then i'd better hope i'm good at direct game and smooth talking, which i'm not yet

) when HBs see this (i'm sure quite a few will), they may detect PUA tactics as "tricks" and it will make the game a
lot harder if HBs are recognizing negs and IOI/IOD combos and compliance tests.
it's a sad day when the HBs know our game as well/better than
we do.
but, as i think about it, i think the only real concerns are that the concept of a PUA and the tactics of the game are made aware to them, thus possibly making it harder to do a PU. and, of course, that canned material becomes commonplace (like in
The Game when Style used the college girlfriend opener and the best friends test and got called out on them because they had already been used on them).
inevitably, girls still do want to be picked up/laid/swept off their feet. it just is not helping it be any easier to do.
i agree though, that the benefit is that those who need help see a place to turn, they discover the community when they may otherwise be lost in a pit of misery.
it's a double-edged sword here.
the bottom line is that whether we like the seduction community broadcast to the media, that's the way it is, and we're going to have to adapt our game to that.
