Hence, PUA techniques may boil down to overcoming [[female coyness]] by coercion or even outright [[rape]] packaged in socially acceptable dating effort such as [[small talk]] and [[charm]] (even though these themselves have little to no effect in a one-on-one, direct approach, non-coercive context).
