I am a straight female. I would like to see this subject discussed, for various reasons:

  • It doesn't strike me as unethical in and of itself, as long as people don't misuse it. I doubt it would be extensively misused.

  • It could help other people, and I wish them well.

  • I am curious about the subject matter.

  • I could use some help with my general social skills; this could be useful.

  • I'd like to see a similar article for women.

  • I dislike censorship, including self-censorship, and think all nearly all topics should be freely discussed.

In sum, I wouldn't be driven away by PUA discussion, and I'd like to see it on here, aimed at both genders (unfortunately, I'm a major nerd who can't write the women-attracting-men post).

That's just my two cents, and I'm fine with it if the majority would rather not.

HughRistik linked to a very helpful FAQ on women attracting men.

I'm in agreement on all points. We've had several PUA discussions, it's a popular topic, the discussions seem to be evolving from yay/boo debates to pragmatic analysis, and lukeprog can distill colossal amounts of information, which would help here.

Advice for women would be good, I agree. But I don't feel qualified to write one either.
