Ask HN: A StackOverFlow or HN for relationships/PUA material. Would you use it?
Simple idea. Value proposition attacks the core of human nature, our wants and needs. Unsure atm of whether a StackOverflow-type site or the functionalities of HN would best address this community. Would you use such a service?

- d4 16y agoNice, but it's still not nearly as populated as these forums: http://social-masters.com/blog/pua-forum http://social-masters.com/blog/pua-forum. The fact that there are 56 heavily-populated PUA forums deserves some attention. The fact that forums are still used deserves attention. There should be a better platform to address questions, share stories, and share links.
- alex_c 16y agoWhat's wrong with forums? For a community driven mainly by external content, something like HN/Reddit makes sense - the links are the focus. For a community driven mainly by the visitors' experiences and opinions, a forum is still a remarkably versatile and useful tool. StackOverflow... StackOverflow is built around factual answers to exact questions, rather than open-ended discussion.
- d4 16y agoGood point. I still use forums. Nevertheless, you don't see the PUA community frequenting reddit.com/seduction. Don't know the % of them who actually know what Reddit is. I don't know of any one true "base," for lack of a better word, to find good PUA content (ex: TechMeme for tech news).
- Skywing 16y agoI'm sorry. I'm not understanding what your service would do. What would it do?
- fezzl 16y agoIt would probably help guys get better at getting women. PUA is a whole movement out there.
- znt 16y agoA website with similar interface to SO or Quora would be very useful.
- Swannie 16y agoNo, I wouldn't use it. Have you seen the rubbish on relationships on Yahoo Answers?! Sheesh, there's some special kind of crazy people on there.
