I know I’m late to this party but… I totally agree that mostly it’s the case that there is an initial low volume of women coming to this site.
However… given that there is already a low volume arriving at the site we should therefore be extra careful not to scare any away through total insensitivity.
I don’t mean we should be afraid to utter words that may be taken the wrong way, but that PUA is really a very hot topic… one that is not appreciated by a very large proportion of women (myself included).
It goes a little beyond “occasional comments alluding to the fact that men like having sex with attractive women.”—which I definitely have no problem with. PUA is about manipulation—specifically, manipulation of the kinds of automatic processes that a woman can normally rely on to benefit her own safety and enjoyment—a manipulation of these processes that does not, in fact, benefit the woman, but the man doing the PU. This is why it’s a Dark Art.
I personally feel uncomfortable supporting a site that support the lesser forms of evil.
I would be equally pissed off if we talked supportively about the more manipulative advertising and marketing techniques…
I think that we should avoid these topics, because it scares people away—men as well as women, but the PUA one specifically scares women away… and given that there’s so few of us here already, we should try especially hard to not do that.
