This a pyramid described by maslow as the basic human needs of what we look for. I could describe this in more detail but the question im asking is where does being a PUA fit into all this? I know it would fill the psychological needs through sex but does it justify fitting the need of love and affection? For some it may do as it means moving on by getting a girlfriend, married etc..

The other point I wanted to bring up is does it really satisy the esteem needs in particular the "respect of others?"

Does being a PUA really fufill our potential as humans?

haha this is awesome, i love how you apply this theory to pick up.

i guess it would fit in love/belonging and self-esteem.

You get girls and you know how to be "alpha" and gain respect/social status from others. After that you start feeling awesome about who you are and accept everything about yourself.

I wrote about it here.

It fits in because lets assume you are the ultimate AFC, lets assume its been three years since you have even touched a girl!

Your Physiological need for sex is going unmet.
Your Safety need for security of body is being compromised, as sex is proven to do good things for your physical and mental state.
Your Love need is being unmet, because you lack sexual intimacy.
Your Esteem need is being unmet, because you lack confidence and possibly self esteem.
Your Self-actualization need is being unmet. AFCs are often in denial about the real cause of their suffering, they lack the spontaneity needed in the PUA community to be successful with women (IE: The AFC spends all his time thinking of what he should/might do, but never does it). The AFC often becomes prejudiced towards those with success, they become jerks, assholes, players, etc...

Oddly with the PU Arts, you begin at the top of the pyramid to reach the bottom. At some point you have to take that spontaneous leap, stop thinking like an AFC, and then your other needs can begin to be met.
