However, I always had some recognition as to the vapid nature of what I was doing. Mystery and his pickup hucksters want to nullify that socialized feeling, feeling themselves justified by our selfish genes and tribal heritage. That's the part I should have focused on more, judging by some of the comments. I don't object to promiscuity; I object to delusional promiscuity. Having experience with it, I wanted to say that it is a lot more glamourous on paper than in real life. Ignoring the "vapid" nature of it all, I failed to include one of my personal most important lessons: sex for women, even if ostensibly casual, is rarely consequence free. They are wired differently. Occasionally you'll get a girl who just wants a meaningless night, but more often than not, they'll pretend they are okay with it while hoping for more. Considering the pickup artist community has rules about (effectively) going on three dates, it is misleading if you are only after sex. That being said, it's not like me being in shape and telling fat people to work out more. It's me telling people who are not assholes that, having once been an asshole, you should not aspire to be one.
