Question. Player vibe, or even people knowing you're a PUA....help or hindrance? Wouldn't it technically be DHV?

Calling yourself PUA can only be DLV.

I consider "Player Vibe" to be having a self confident aura, and not the AFC aura of "Desperately looking, will put you on a pedestal."

I certainly wouldn't go around shouting "I'M A PUA, COME HOME NOW?", however showing some self confidence and not drooling over HB's/appearing desperate, is certainly DHV - you're making yourself seem above all the AFC's in a way. Of course your game is the important part, but showing a bit of self confidence certainly works.

Here is the fucked up thing. Not only can you use it as a disqualifier, but, also it's still technically DHV (because you are someone who women have preselected) On the surface it appears DLV, but sub-communicates intent (We're going to fuck) and, I am attractive to women.

Like you said, I wouldn't go into a target rich location and scream it---you'll be dealing with bitch shields all night...but women communicate best through suggestion and metaphor...they CAN pick it up. However- with a subtle suggestion..it could work to your benefit.

As a matter-of-fact this is an example used in Gamblers BF destroyer routine.
