No doubt I’m out of date, married and a one-woman man for 25 years, nearly half my life. But it sounds like BS to me. Not that I was ever a “playa”. (I had to google PUA.) Frankly, I’d rather meet someone I like and let things develop naturally. The guys I knew would help, not block, and what would I care what some stranger thinks?
Ladies, good point about “intentional pass interference”. I don’t remembering that ever happening to me, but I can also read a “no thanks” without it being spelled out.
Back in the day, it was pretty much up to the guy to try to get things rolling, but it was definitely up to the lady to let it roll or not. The first part may no longer be true, but I bet the second still is.
Cockblocking exists or there weren’t be the term, but this guy sounds like those people who are playing imaginary games in their heads.
The funniest time I was ever cockblocked was when I was with a female friend at a bar to Tokyo. We were just chatting and a guy comes up, sort of between us, and starts to chat to me. Not your usual thing, but not really unthinkable so I answered his questions. Then another guy comes up and starts to talk to woman I was with.
Aha! Cockblocked. I was going to tell her, but the guy had already ordered a drink for her, so I waited until it came to tell the guy that she’s gay.
Well, it’s at least refreshing to hear men being blamed for someone’s romantic failure, rather than the familiar refrain that women are to blame for being horrible people.
Exactly, with one exception - if you’re the guy with the lead, and some other guy starts trying to cut in, you and/or your buddies will generally cut him right back out. It’s kind of like right of first refusal in a sense. If nobody’s breaking that unwritten rule, then they and usually every other guy in the place will help you out.
What a load of crap. My hats off to some of you folks for being able to make it all the way through that stupid article.
In my younger days, the only dating advice I ever got that worked has been from men. Just about any advice I’ve recieved from women has been feckless. I’m sure they didn’t intend it to be, but there you have it.
That post is ridiculous but not jaw-droppingly so. Figuring I could do better, I clicked around the site a bit and read through his argument about why PUAs should vote for Republicans. Contained within is this attempt to forestall any objections:
So while your WORST enemy might be another man, apparently rape laws are somewhere on that list as well.
I’ve always said that the only thing wrong with the PUA movement is the people involved with it, and I think this goes a long way towards making that argument for me.
I signed in to post something almost identical to this.
For my contribution…
Judging from a brief skim through his other posts, he seems to be Asian and male ( though I may be wrong) and as an Asian male, I am embarrassed for him. Dude has a serious inferiority complex and making us look like wieners.
In terms of the linked blog post, I think by “fellow man” he means either “my own insecurities” or “internet trolls”.
Fortunately, the semen of white men is a natural vagina wasp repellent. That’s why all the fine blonde and Indian honeys get with us instead of Curious Man.
