After a night out with my buddy, I am going to have to say PUA books are overrated

Being on TAM does induce a little bit of paranoia in me. One of the things I have noticed in the Men's lounge is that there are a few posters that are pretty vocal about the dangers of PUAs. Some even seem to imply that an expert PUA can pretty much have his way with any woman. One guy who I think got banned even put "science" into it and said that a menstruating woman would cheat if the right PUA approached her. With this in mind I couldn't turn down a chance to go out with some of my guy friends knowing that one of us was recently divorced and has pretty much made PUA books his bible. He explained to us how it works but all I got out of his explanation was something to do with numbers/ratios/body language etc. None of it made sense to me. We sat at the bar and watched him put his theories to work. Long story short FAIL!!! Don't get me wrong its not like he got shot down by every woman but he did get shot down by most of them. At the end of the night he ended up with a handful of numbers. I guess I just thought the techniques in the books would work better. I actually think he would've been better off just being himself instead of relying on tips from the books. I guess after everything I read on here I'm shocked he ended up going home alone. I know observing one guy isn't exactly a complete study, but I'm going to have to say that if you are happily married and worried about the new age of PUAs. Don't be.
