I believe I’ve pointed this out before, but at least some “PUA” training emphasizes personal development, emotional connection, and trust as the foundation for interaction and relationships. (The word “status” is not mentioned once on that page, and if I recall correctly, it is not mentioned in any of the videos being sold there either.)
Thanks for the link. I haven’t seen that program before. I always enjoy absorbing things on ‘Inner Game’, essentially because the insights are usually applicable to life in general, completely aside from anything to do with mating.
Come to think of it the lessons are remarkably similar to those found in Alicorn’s Luminosity that I’ve just been reading. I would go as far as to recommend Luminosity to people interested in gaining “PUA” kinds of qualities. The ability for self awareness and reflection, mastery over and cooperation with ones own emotions, the ability to know and actively seek ones own goals and the ability to empathise with how others are thinking are attractive traits regardless of gender and core features of ‘inner game’.

Amusingly, I’m trying to portray Edward as a little awkwardly unluminous whenever I can do it without screwing up the plot.
That shouldn’t be too hard. He was somewhat of a dolt to begin with if I recall. You can get away with that when you are pretty, tall, brooding and have super powers!
I liked how you conveyed the introduction of Mike by the way. Both with Mike’s clear lack of luminosity and in how his awkwardness impacted Bella.
