Ok, I'm pretty new at this.. let me take a shot.

List of shit the PUA forum will fill in your head.
You have to get laid inorder to be successful.
Lots of mentions of number/kiss closes as success stories dispel that one immediately. Success is defined as getting what you want from a girl, and that varies by person. F-Close is just a popular stopping point.
Quote:
You have to follow routins and games if you don't know what to do.
As opposed to what, standing there with your mouth hanging open while she looks at the creepy silent guy? Wait, wait... maybe you could explain what people should do when they don't know what to do? Oh, hey... problem for you on this one: any answer you give will be a routine.
The routines are training wheels, that's made clear all over the place. A guy who does not know what to do needs training wheels.
Quote:
You need to work together to score with a girl. Teamwork!
Huh? Never even seen any mention of teamwork, and several threads even advocate working alone.
Quote:
Women are just objects but we PUA don't treat them like that. We treat them like fuck buddies because we are nice to them and their feelings.
I don't really know where you're coming from on this one either. I don't see that being advocated anyway, though I will admit seeing the phrase "leave them better than you found them" frequently.

Self improvement comes as a consiquence of being in a happy relationship.
90% of the advice I see here involves improving yourself to help meet women... so... yeah.
Quote:
Then end goal is to get a girl to be happy.
Really? When I see things about making the girl happy, it's usually as part of the pick up... I think the goal here for everyone is to be happy yourself.
Incidentally, however, making other people happy will probably help you be happy.
Or you can sit on a forum taking random snipes at people to try and make yourself feel better, rather than helping them with their problems. How happy are you?

The successive PUA's use routins and stragety, therefore, we have to use routins and stragety to be like the Masters!
I'm betting most of us have ended up here because we failed utterly while being ourselves. The "masters" all used strategy and routines as training wheels, and moved beyond those as they improved, felt better about themselves and improved their social skills.
This is not dissimilar to katas in martial arts, you are learning a set of moves but that just teaches you the basic movements so that when you need them you have the individual components internalized.
This is how human learning works.
Quote:
The masters of this game are lost fools who don't know the meaning of life, and they accept themselves as being the underdogs of society. Well I don't want to have a role model who is an underdog.
Everyone sucks but you? Right. Got it.
Quote:
A wife with children.
Why do people need to follow your value system? People have their own routes to happiness, and Married with Children isn't always part of it. Should those people just live alone in a hut, to please your puritanical upbringing?
Quote:
This PUA mentality changes the way you look at women and keeps you looking at them like a tool.
Unfortunately, I'm beginning to think looking at them any other way is the fastest route to failure. (I don't mean not getting laid, I mean being alone...)
Quote:
Sure it is O.K to fuck a girl, but when you are O.K. to just fuck any girl you will never fall in love.
Many guys who fuck lots of women end up married. Many guys who do not fuck lots of women die alone and bitter. We're here to avoid that.
Quote:
There is something to LOVE that requires trust. And PUA's are not very trustworthy because they don't commit. And when they do commit they are not stable.
Yeah, women hate men who won't commit. That's why they bounce between so many of them!
