And we have it, another female. I'm here to learn how to
avoid being played and how to identify a PUA (doing quite well with regards to this so far). I've been sworn to secrecy - fine by me, chicks that
fall prey to PUA's really just bring it upon themselves

I hate to break this to you but we (well most of us) aren't dogs that want to use and abuse women. You may be suprised to learn that not all men possess the natural ability to just talk to women they like.
Take me for example, I'm still only in the early stages of learning, I've had 1 GF in my life who messed me up real bad due to a few things she did and I had a very unhealthy opinion of women for a long time, on top of that I had NO idea how to attract any girl I liked. I'm not a bad guy, I've had allot of female friends which have often said to me "how come you still don't have a GF?" well it's because I lack that natural ability to just be able to "do it". I'm not here to put notches on the bedpost, I'm here to learn to attract a woman who I can have a relationship with.
SOME people however are here for the wrong reasons, but I assure you they are in the minority. Try to think of the pickup arts like a car. In the hands of a maniac damage can of course be done, but in the hands of police officer or perhaps if you were to change the car to say an ambulance, think of all the good that can be done (I think that quote is from the movie I Am Legend but it applies here). I've spoken to guys that were so lacking in confidence that they were borderline suicidal before finding this stuff. This isn't a community that's trying to "trick" anyone, the main message is of self-improvement, because of this community I am no longer an alcoholic (I do have the occasional drink but now it's just 3 instead of 30) exercise regularly and on Monday morning I'll be starting a new job. I have allot more confidence and allot of my previous anger issues (used to have a very short fuse) are now gone (still work to do in that area).
I'm sorry if this post comes off as a bit sour, I have rambled on a bit as usual but I really don't like it when people judge the book by the cover.
