I think the point here isn't that people don't get pressured into sex but rather that the specific strategy mentioned isn't one that PUAs would use because it is both pathetic and a highly ineffective strategy for them to be using. So if a completely amoral PUA was using unethical tactics to get laid he would still not use this one because he wouldn't expect this one to work.
Well, sure. I was taking issue specifically with Konkvistador's post, above, and the claim:
This is NOT me saying "evil PUAs do this", it's "orthogonal to your points about PUA, you have made a simple factual claim backed by personal incredulity which is, in fact, false".
I think you need to give us the definition of PUA you are using, because you seem to be using one that excludes a lot of actions or strategies which one might think would be advantageous to a person who wants to get laid, and unethical persons who want to get laid seem highly likely to be a subgroup of people perusing and participating in a hypothetical discussion of PUA that tabooed all ethical criticism.
