==Getting the police called on incels== | == Origins of PUA == | ||
The modern PUA movement started in the 1970s with the rise of "hook up" culture after the sexual revolution in modern western countries. Now it was more common for men to 'play the field' and seek out casual sexual encounters before marriage. Due to the existance of female [[Hypergamy]] and [[Bateman's Principle]], many men (likely not those physically blessed) were having poor prospects of having casual sex encounters and thus a market niche was formed catering to their desire to improve their prospects in this regard. | |||
One of the first mainstream PUAs was [[Ross Jeffries]] who advocated NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) to attract women, or the technique of influencing female attraction by use of subliminal phrases in conversations. So instance, the PUA would emphasise the words LICK and MY, plus COCK hidden in a conversation stream to supposedly 'program' the target to eventually perform fellatio on him. | |||
It has been alleged <ref>https://omegavirginrevolt.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/the-syndicate-the-internet-marketing-scam-organization-behind-game/</ref> that the modern incarnation of PUA was engineered by an internet marketer by the name of Eben Pagan(David De Angelo) a member of an internet marketing group known as The Syndicate and author of the PUA manual "Double your Dating", in which he claims that looks don't matter at all to women and any AFC( average frustrated chump) who applies his PUA techniques will be able to become a [[Slayer]]. | |||
PUA remained a niche community until the release of the book "The Game" by journalist Neil Strauss, a semi autobiographical work describing his induction into a PUA circle led by the most famous PUA, the street magician and reality TV star Mystery. | |||
Mystery had combined the teachings of get-rich quick marketer David De Angelo with his own interpretation of evolutionary psychology to create his 'style' of PUA he creatively dubbed "The Mystery Method". | |||
The success of "The Game" resulted in an PUA craze in the mid noughties that lasted until the early 2010s. | |||
It is argued that PUA communities combined with the internet are ultimately responsible for the rise of the Manosphere in general and the Incelosphere in particular. | |||
The the first site where what we now know as the Blackpill was widely expoused was the forum puahate.com, which original purpose was the expose "the lies and scams of the PUA industry", eventually morphing into a manosphere forum where a major theme emerged of women being primarily attracted to a man's [[LMS]] (looks, money,status) in other words his "objective" value to women in opposition to more vague concepts like personality and game. | |||
The major extant proponents of PUA are the subreddit [[R/TRP]] (which promotes a more holistic approach to PUA, as well as incorporating the concept of female hypergamy) and the PUA company [[Real Social Dynamics]]. | |||
Given the advent of the #metoo movement and the rise of online dating, it's pretty clear the PUA industry is increasingly moribund, but still somewhat influential. | |||
== Getting the police called on incels == | |||
Pick up artists often sell useless "bootcamps", scamming hopeful incels out of thousands of dollars and putting them at risk of macing, arrest, and harassment allegations. The first popular PUA book was written by [[Ross Jeffries]] and called [[How to Get the Women You Desire into Bed]], put a [[disclaimer]] on the first few pages warning that the contents could easily get one arrested if acted out fully. The rise in PUA seems to accompany [[feminism|the rise of people not wanting to pair other people up]]. | Pick up artists often sell useless "bootcamps", scamming hopeful incels out of thousands of dollars and putting them at risk of macing, arrest, and harassment allegations.

Put two pick-up artists with equal fame and money with normal [[social skills]] in a bar. Have them approach an equal number of women, and the better looking guy will 'get the girl'. Unless you are a total [[autism|sperg]] or you want to lie about your status all the time, your '''actual''' looks, money, and status does the talking, '''not''' your 'game'. | Put two pick-up artists with equal fame and money with normal [[social skills]] in a bar.
