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.

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.

The basic premises are pretty darn similar from one PUA resource to another.

Maybe I'm overexposed to minority views. Care to elaborate which those premises are?
