That is a BIG PROBLEM.
Game cannot be what you are. Do you think Tiger Woods sits around thinking "I AM GOLF". He might, but if he does he will SUCK in the next tournament he plays in, and he will lose even more fans.
You are not "game". You are not a "pua" either.
Neither of those statements above are insults, just facts. Do you get it ?
What do outside people think of "game" or "pua" ? Opinions vary a lot, depends on the person and the context, but the most common response will be to laugh, or say it is totally pathetic. Some will go further and accuse you of being unethical or even evil.
"pathetic loser manipulative lying scumbag who is too useless to get laid without trickery" -- that's what a PUA or a guy with "game" is to the people who are not interested in it.
I am a poster on this site, but even I will be repulsed if some douchebag walks up and says "I'm a pua".
Did you ever see Legend of Ron Bergundy ? He says "I'm sort of a big deal" and its one of the best jokes in the movie.
