That is unsatisfactory, to say the least. Assuming one can find a PUA book that actually does contain exercises and not just a plethora of fictional evidence based theories, that is not marketing material or a simple scam, one is still hard pressed to find two books that agrees on some aspects of the courtship dance...
If anyone knows of any such good book, as a short-terming male I'm very open to openly try and review it.
This 'one' has had not particular difficulty finding PUA resources that agree on a significant proportion of the courtship dance. As such one questions to what extent your 'hard pressing' is sincere.
The basic premises are pretty darn similar from one PUA resource to another.
Well, right now I am sincerely baffled.
I've been reading/listening contradictory advice on basically anything, e.g. direct vs indirect approach, usefulness of story-telling, the importance of physical aspects, of dressing, where to meet women, what qualities a man should possess, etc. For any "do X, Y doesn't work" someone says, there's someone else explicitely stating "X doesn't work, do Y".
If someone's interested, I could post specific examples.
Maybe I'm overexposed to minority views. Care to elaborate which those premises are?
