A community you probably don't want to be aligned with!

  Why?

    People last out against things they don't understand / feel uncomfortable with

    Because a lot of the tactics they discuss border on date-rape. There's nothing wrong with using analysis to improve your success in dating and sharing ideas with others, but when you have guides that talk about plying women with alcohol and "pushing through LMR (last-minute resistance)" we're not really talking about seduction anymore. Reddit as a whole has a serious misogyny problem, and their seduction community is particularly bad. Just the other day there was a post by a guy who said that his date had repeatedly said that she's "not that kind of girl" when he steered the conversation towards sexual topics. When he asked what was she trying to convey by that, not a single person responded with the suggestion that maybe she didn't want to have sex with him and would never want to have sex with him. There's no doubt in my mind that the dissemination of the kind of worldview that dehumanizes women and denies them agency has led to actual real-life rapes, even if the PUA himself didn't realize that he didn't have consent. Long story short, you can improve your dating success without reducing women to objects.

  Why? Are you against male happiness?
  • schiffern 15y ago
    Why just "male happiness?" Many women want someone who can seduce them. Dating isn't a zero-sum game.

      Good point.
