I have opinions on PUA that are positive (I see nothing wrong with it, except that it is correllated with other problems), but whenever I look at these discussions and try to comment, I notice that my comments are probably less rational than usual, and wouldn't really solve anything, because no one else would be convinced by argument anyways (being a political topic), so I don't comment.
I thought you ought to know that there may be other people like me who are reasonable and supportive of PUA, but avoid these discussions.

Well, I suppose that's my position too. It's not that improving attractiveness is intrinsically bad...I'm just not sure I like the larger community and the methods they suggest.
Same here, except that sometimes I do comment, and often end up regretting that. (And I wish I could upvote your comment twice, one for the first two paragraphs and one for the SMBC link.)
