My reaction to this is positive-- my reaction to matthewnewport's fairly similar

There's at least two groups of people who potentially stand to lose from widespread discussion of PUA: women, who may fear that they will be duped into choosing low quality mates by males emulating the behaviours they use to identify high quality mates and men who are already successful with women who may fear increased competition.

is negative.

I think the difference is that matthew implies that there's one scale all women use for judging men, and it isn't at all about how men treat them.
