Great points. How do you think more young men being hip to the game thanks to forums, social media and YouTube will affect women’s marriage prospects in the future? I’ve noticed some women dismiss all the game being shared online by older experienced men as Andrew Tate and Red Pill when a lot of it is just exposing reality.
Red Pill and all the PUA stuff is good in terms of self-improvement.
A young single guy should always do what he can to be the best version of himself (working out, regular checkups, good diet, socializing with others, grooming/self-care etc).
As far as dealing with women....I think they're trying to take something complex and distill it down into something simple.
Women (and men) are a fair bit more complex than RP and that ideology suggests. You can have 5 women that exhibit the exact same behaviors but the "why" behind their actions can vary significantly.
I think of the PUA stuff like music. Some people can write AND play songs on their favorite instrument....this is the equivalent of having game and being able to teach others game using your techniques (rare).
Some people can play any song by ear but can't read music (naturally has game but can't explain why they are successful)...some folks can't play an instrument AND they can't read music (typical PUA consumer).
The ideas, books, internet content etc, gives them guide-rails to get started...like music lessons. I think guys should focus on being able to hold conversations with people first. If you're uncomfortable just talking to random people without the element of sex present....it's going to be considerably more difficult when you raise the stakes and put sex on the table.
