Elon Musk hooked up with an attractive actress in late 2008 …
That’s my point though. I don’t really know much about this story, but Elon Musk is anything but a beta/doormat—his current achievements kinda speak for themselves. This would surely make a difference, even if at some level he was ‘sad’ and thus low-status.
On the other hand the promise that PUA marketing sells is that you can become successful with woman mainly by focusing on becoming successful with woman.
A better description is that focusing on being successful with women can help you succeed socially in a more general sense, given the right methods/mindset. Though maybe that’s mostly because being successful with the opposite sex is something everyone cares about at some level, and having that kind of goal as a thing you can steadily improve on makes a big difference in your overall rationality.
