some pua is bull shit, and stupid, like the mystery method. its all about being something your not. where as the game by neil stauss is based on building your game on top of your personality. Iv never had a problem getting girls, i picked up the book because my roommate was really into it. unfortunately he took it a little over board for awhile, but has gotten back on track.
pua has to be taken with a grain of salt, its all about social dynamics. which is a science. Knowing what things attract a women, and what dont. negs are actually killer, it makes the female feel like they need to go out of their way to impress you, the biggest thing i picked up from reading those books was the approach. You should never use a line, girls see right through that, you have to be spontaniuos, make them laugh, keep them entertained, make a physical connection, thats it, the pua just helps guys that dont know what their doing. i would say it help my game by 30% and I had good game to begin with. but i have seen it help people with no game, and who never got laid. So yes lots of its bullshit but it also has a lot of good information, that just needs to be taken with a grain of salt
ps sorry if my post is really jumbled im on the verge of passing out
