I sympathize with your distaste for taking apart love to see what it’s made from
More like distaste for trying to reduce love to something it’s not. You cannot reduce an abstract, complex facet of human experience to something simple and easily definable, otherwise you make yourself vulnerable to utopia plans that are doomed to fail.
People I showed lukeprog’s original post to were universal in their reaction: “Wow, talk about neckbeardery”.
As for PUA, I won’t comment on that. If all you care about is one-night stands, then I guess you can be cynical about that. Actual love is a different matter entirely.

You got multiple people to use that sentence? In fact, I will be nearly as impressed if multiple people independently used the word “neckbeardery”.
I said “to the effect of”. I didn’t mean literally the same wording.
Where?
...I didn’t? Drat. Sorry.
This is what I get for not looking over my own comments before I post them. I’ll be more vigilant in the future.
