Anyone who sees it in the light you mentioned, doesn't even slightly understand how women think or operate.
What makes you think you're any more than a notch on HER belt?
Any more than her shiniest new boyfriend or husband, to show off to her friends and family like "look at this valuable thing I've caught!"
Women are Master Pick Up Ninja Wizards, beginning from the moment they realize that men do all kinds of stupid shit for them simply because they have vaginas.
All Game is, is learning how to play on an even field. Without it (and apparently many of you who do practice are included here), you're kicking around a tin can on a soccer field against the World Cup Champions and you'll never even realize it.
Case In Point: Some men think it's a good idea to be in a monogamous relationship or get married (puke). Trapping men into a relationship with zero benefits is like the pinnacle of validation for a female's Hunting skills (i.e., what a good manipulator she is).
And no, it in absolutely no way detracts from my ability to give or receive love. It detracts from that disgusting state of being in which you fall head over heels for someone you don't even know and compromise yourself just for a little hit of validation. That's not love, not even close. You've just been told that's what the feeling is called.
Once you get to a place where you actually understand women, they understand you, and you're on the same team, I promise you will not feel this way about how "Game ruined you" or whatever. You'll be thanking your lucky stars for avoiding the shitty-life trap that 95% of men fall into.

Not to sound preachy, but what you're doing is a tactic developed by major militaries shortly after WWI. They realized that most soldiers don't actually shoot at the enemy, and aim away, and are willing to risk their own life, but not to take those of others. This is nice and all, but not very useful to the generals. So a new training tactic was developed; "dehumanizing the enemy". They taught the soldiers to not look at the enemy as humans just like them, but evil creatures that had to be conquered and destroyed. There were a series of systematic changes to facilitate this, from oldschool propaganda "the enemy eats babies hearts you know", to much more subtle forms of conditioning, through popular culture, and even through the change of training targets from bulls eyes to human shaped targets.
You are portraying women to all be the same players that you aspire to be. That is false. Very few women play men consciously, and those that do, I say, by all means, unleash the full arsenal of your PUA skills on them. Play them like a fiddle and leave them wondering what just happened. Most women are emotional creatures that are guided by feelings, and don't plan their next move on how to tear off your balls and serve them on a dish. They're weak, just like most men, and indecisive, and guided by much the same drives as men. Most girls are NOT NBs (ninja bitches). What happened to you before your PUA days, when a sort of but not really attractive girl you were sort of involved with started trying to win your love really hard? Same thing that happens to AFCs doing it to an HB. Most women don't manipulate men because they are trying to consciously. They do it because the men let them, and their feelings make them manipulative.
Just because men act like manginas and get hurt in the process, doesn't mean that learning to control your feelings and learning how to push a girl's buttons gives you a green light to destroy innocent girl's psyches. I'm AM NOT a white knight, but I have empathy for people who get hurt, and I HATE hurting girls I'm involved with, even when they wrong me. I move on and leave them to themselves. I've had FBs, I've seen multiple girls at the same time, and through it all, I tried my hardest to make sure no one's feelings were hurt in the process, and everyone got what they wanted. I got mine, they got theirs, everyone was happy. As long as they treat me right, I treat them right. Some girls really do just want a normal relationship with a normal guy. Have some compassion and stop looking at every girl as "game". By all means, use PUA to get a normal girl interested and have a normal relationship, but save the harsh player tactics for the club skanks and girls looking for an ONS, just like you or me.
Also some of the shit people write on here is downright creepy. Stop treating pickup like some kind of a transcendental religion, people. Being able to sleep with multiple women does not make you a god, or teach you about love, or make you a better person. It means you're able to sleep with multiple women. Is it a nice skill? Sure, but don't let the blinding hubris drive you straight off a cliff.
