I find it alarming that such a valuable resource would be monopolized in pursuit of orgasm;
I think that’s a too simplistic view of it, if all you want is an orgasm the fastest route would be using your hands.
I say that my goals are noble
Are you implying that a PUA who is just looking for sex has less noble goals?
PUA ought to be a special case of a more general skill set, and it’s being wasted.
Again you seem to be judging others here.
Unfortunately it seems that you are operating under the assumption that “men who are just looking for sex or superficial relationships are wrong/primitive/whatever”. Men have this craving in them, I don’t see anything wrong with them using science/intelligence in order to achieve their goals, that’s what PU is all about.
It’s fine if you want to improve other areas in your life aside from skills with women but why do you need to bash those who paved the road for you?
I was trying to preempt the fact that people were likely to impute their own assumptions about what I meant by “PUA-like”. I may have gone too far in the opposite direction and come off as PUA-hating. Hope not, it would be a real foul up if I alienated the people I hope to emulate! For the record, I’m generally a fan of PUAs.
The comments you quote were meant to point out that I think the skills could have more important uses. I don’t think that PUA goals are ignoble/wrong/primitive, but I do think that they’re of trivial importance relative to many other goals (particularly the goals of this crowd).
I may have gone overboard with phrasing; one of many weaknesses in my writing. I’m working on it.
