I was going to ask “why not apply the same energy you put toward PUA techniques to enhancing your awareness of easy, real connection?” but then I realized:
Because there isn’t a dichotomy here. PUA understanding is one of the most effective ways of improving your capability for and awareness of easy, real connection. ‘Easy’ things are usually easy because you have extensive practice at doing them—either deliberately or through incidental exposure over time. Spending time developing the skills for making a human connection does not make them any less ‘real’.
