Therefore, we ought to see if there are any aspects of how the PUA’s went about getting good at achieving their specific goal that could be adopted to general social goals.
One source of these strategies for using PUA style understanding to achieve general social goals is in pickup itself. It is a popular subject and frequently one of the first things given in testimonies about how PUA practice improved their life.
I recall that you and I had an exchange on this at some point (although I may be mistaking you for someone else). I’m not very familiar with the PUA literature, but in what little I’ve read the description of these non-pickup side benefits were one of the things that stimulated my thinking on this topic.
Could you point me to some (good) sources, or give your own thoughts on what is worth copying? I take your word that this is a popular topic, but the good bits of any body of knowledge can be hard to identify when you’re an outsider.
I’d also be happy to chat in another forum (Skype, IRC, etc), if you prefer.

Indeed, thanks!
