There are countless of them, I chose only a few examples later on.
Are you reading a tone into my post that is not actually there? I didn't want to sound dismissive, my whole point is that there is a real reason for not liking PU and this is the most important one, therefore I present it at the beginning. Feel free to skip this part and read the rest first.
I have read the rest of the post, but while I accept that it's a good-faith attempt to explain the reason many people have distaste for the PUA movement, I think it comes off as rather presumptuous to skip what other people have said about their reasons for having poor regard for the movement when you're asserting that the real reason is something else.
I'm also not convinced that what the post describes is indeed for most objectors the primary reason for not liking PUA.
