Not Another PUA Documentary...

Lately, I've just been fascinated with all the PUA documentaries hitting the airwaves. Here is yet another one which aired on Channel 4 (Britain) a few months ago but I just discovered recently.

There's something inherently hypnotic in watching these chode-to-mPUA stories. Everyone loves to root for the underdog and I remember being in their place not too long ago. "Ian" is hardly a master pick-up artist by the end of the show, but when you're at rock bottom, there's only one way to go. You have to have respect for people who seek help rather than wallow in their own self-pity. I know someone right now who's in the depths of a depression and this person refuses to see a therapist or take medication. What's the alternative? Misery, but I won't be its company.

This documentary also demonstrates what little you have to do to impress people. Just going on camera and getting a girl's phone number gets you a documentary. The first thing you learn after you do a few approaches is how easy it is to get numbers and kiss closes. Honest! Now, converting those digits into actual lays is a different story. If they could do a documentary on that, then I'd be impressed. Is this how far down courtship has fallen? Getting a phone number is an amazing feat? Sad.
