If it had anything at all to do with psychology, people wouldn't go half insane by applying the method.
This Industry in general, (in general) has a perverted view on life and people, in order to appeal to individuals who have some obscure viewpoints on what they consider reality... or --- it applies to people who have a unstable, unrealistic view on life, which allows the bridging between their world, whatever that world may be, and the real world. In essence, they are taking their un natural thinking to the real world. So you have these world of warcraft people who absolutely love this industry 
if i had to put it in genres, id say a pickup artist applies acting skills, such as line delivery, routines, methods, comedy structures, bridges, cold reading, and masking. There is also hypnosis involved, and a tremendous amount of immoral, un natural behavior... which if attempted will lead to SOME results, at a very high long term psychological cost (once the bridge is build, going back and rebuilding it becomes a nightmare).
If you take 10 people in a room, only 1 will understand how to master the structured method, and apply it appropriately. And out of 100 people, youll have about 8 who master it and 2 who excel and switch over to being truly natural. The rest of the remaining 90 people will be all over the place, half of them will have gone no where within a times span of a year, maybe two.. and they will be making excuses as to why their progress is going nowhere, whilst the other half, will be in the middle of somewhere and nowhere, getting results but at the same time not steady results, many flakes, yet they will lie to themselves and do all sorts of weird things to justify their standing, whilst inevitably living a very unstable life.
Oh and the 8 people who master it become outright social robots, and completely loose sight of the fact that they are human.
So I understand if half or 1/3 of this forum feel ashamed or somewhat embarrassed.

You can justify your actions in this industry, lines, hypnosis, whatever, but after the dirty work is done, can you justify your humanity? will there be any left?
Results are great, but at what cost in the long term? and what are the alternatives to get better results without the consequences?
Moral of the story, choose what you want, a natural approach or a structured approach early on! Be smart about it!
