** And while I don't consider myself a PUA master, I am an insider in that community, and can tell you first hand that the right coaching and courses can super-charge a man's social intelligence quotient with women. I share a lot of what I've learned on my blog http://www.pickuptipsformen.com Be Excellent ~Dio

I agree that rude is rude. But there is validity in the principal of the "ambiguous compliment". While some of the "name" PUA's are wannabe clowns, many more in the community are the real deal- they have amazing, demonstrable skills, and the ability to teach them.

Actually, lots of guys need books to teach them how to relate to women. Women are confusing. And if we want to get honest, women read 100X more 'relationship' books than men, PLUS a never ending stream of articles on how to manipulate men – just take a look at Cosmo.

I love talking about this book. Although Strause never said to be mean to girls like the example given above. He did learn and teach many techniques that got decent guys to point where they could be themselves and tell stories and "be nice" the book was a New York Times Best seller. It tells his story of becoming a PUA and the Good and the Bad of the "game" and the PUA underground community. My challenge to you Jess is to hang out with Gorgeous Girls one night and see if any "nice guys" get to talk to them that aren't male models or millionaires. The guy in the story above does sound like a dick- he misinterpreteed the book(if he read it) and Jess also has he misinterpretation. I continue to have great conversations with many great people, not just girls. socail dynamics is an interesting thing, a science. sometimes it can be helpful to look at everyday situations as a science. Read the Book- You will love it no matter what you might think of the game.

Ha hahaha! YES! It's actually a really sad epidemic, and one I plan to write a detailed rant about later. Forls, what's the deal with encouraging nice, (albeit socially awkward) guys trying to get their feet wet by degrading women? Is this REALLY how we want our young men to behave?
