Meeting online is notably now the primary way people meet for relationships,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Meeting_online_is_now_the_primary_way_relationships_are_formed</ref> however, this includes meeting up through social networks and chats, where personality may play a larger role than in the blind and semi-blind dating.

Arguably, game may work outside of the face-to-face dating context, e.g. during socializing in a group, which is the more natural human mating context anyhow.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704919887706</ref> In a social context, confidence, game and charm may act as means of gaining [[dominance hierarchy|social status]] and intimidating other males in [[intrasexual competition]]s which, in turn, enables men access to women.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men.27s_social_status_accounts_for_62.25_of_the_variance_of_copulation_opportunities</ref> This intuition is perhaps what lead PUAs to mistakenly apply the same to the face-to-face setting.

Further, fast [[life history]] traits such as extroversion and risk taking are weakly but consistently related to [[reproductive success]] and sexual experience.<ref>Haydon, A. A., Cheng, M.

The link between testosterone and mating success is likely also not mediated by looks, but behavior.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/mhmvb3/testosterone_correlates_with_mating_success_but/</ref>

However, research indicates, that (especially for slow life history strategists) free mate choice and direct sexual approach may be unnatural, with the majority of historical human societies having primarily practiced arranged marriage (at least during the first marriage).<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704919887706</ref> Further, personality traits are around 40–60% heritable (despite personality instruments being somewhat unreliable),<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5068715/</ref> likely implying personality predispositions are not easily or arbitrarily malleable.

There is, however, evidence that women [[rape|even desire]] being coerced to some extent. Hence, PUA techniques may boil down to outright coercion or even [[rape]] packaged in socially acceptable dating effort such as [[small talk]] and [[charm]] (even though these themselves have no effect).
