Looks like Ross has a bit of a business agenda here. Guess we'll see today.
Also, I love how Dr. Phil is pairing this "PUA exposed" thing with some guy who scammed a woman out of a lot of cash. Tricky bastard.

"Ross warns that the seduction scene has a dark side. "There are people in this community who are teaching methods and tactics that I think women should definitely be aware of. There are people who are teaching some very sick, twisted stuff," he says. "I do feel sort of like Dr. Frankenstein. I’ve given birth to monsters. There are 10,000 bastard children of mine running around. I sort of feel a responsibility to clean it up. I would like to put them out of business if I could. Had I not started this, they wouldn’t have been around."

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with men learning to be more attractive, getting women into bed,” he says. “What disturbs me is that the other schools that have cropped up rely a lot on of invalidation, on making women doubt their own attractiveness, on techniques that make women uncertain whether they’re being complimented or insulted. They’re digging into people’s lowest emotions: their fears, their insecurities, and I don’t think that’s a valid way to attract someone.”
“You said both men and women want to have sex. Is that the objective of your technique?” Dr. Phil asks.
“The objective is to give men choice so that they can create attraction at will,” he says. "If you cannot create that attraction, you're not going to get a one-night stand, you're not going to get a relationship, you're not going to get married either. You're going to hear, 'Let's just be friends.'"
“What you’re hearing from the other guys is not the entire truth. What you heard up here made it seem like it was all sweetness and light, but there’s a lot of stuff they’re doing that’s actually really kind of nasty,” Ross says, explaining, “One of the things they rely on doing is flipping women back and forth between feeling like they’re being approved of and feeling like they’re being criticized. They do something called push-pull, where they’ll give the women a little attention, and then they’ll pull it away, so she doubts whether they’re attracted to her or not. They use a lot of invalidation, the theory being that if you invalidate a woman, she’ll have sex with you to prove her attractiveness.” He adds that they use canned routines, and when they ask for a woman's opinion, they really don’t care. "There's a lot of deception."
