It would have helped me a great deal to have read this material when I was in college. It would have destroyed the dysfunctional things I had been taught (e.g., “Dating leads to sin; banter is rude; sex is dirty; women don’t want sex; love is spiritual, not physical; just be yourself; just wait, and the right woman for you will be attracted to you”), and I probably would have been able to connect with at least some of the women who threw themselves at me when I was in college.
It has helped me get a lot of phone numbers and emails from women—not using specific techniques, which I’m lousy at, but just knowing that nothing awful will happen if I walk up to a strange woman and talk to her and ask for her number. But those phone #s and emails that I got using PUA techniques, don’t usually convert! And I’ve lost at least one woman by using those techniques, so I’m maybe breaking even.
Bodybuilding was a more effective way of pickup up women. For me, spending an hour a day in the gym, and fifteen minutes talking to women, is more effective than spending an hour and fifteen minutes in a bar. For many guys that is probably not the case. I am a bar-environment-defective personality. Being the quiet type is appealing if you are muscular, possibly because women know it’s by choice and not out of fear, and definitely because some women are intrigued by the contrast. Women like the strong and silent type, not the silent type.

My experience exactly. The gym makes an enormous difference to attractiveness. The trifecta of physical appeal, self confidence and hormone adjustment.
I should be more specific:
