... And what I appreciate about this website as it has purged quite a lot of that (I couldn't fit this into the subject 
).
To me there seem to be a sad, spiteful, socially awkward and sometimes even dark side of this community.
I reckon that most likely it's because the community was born from socially awkward people who had no success and stood up to change that -laudable, but the negative traits persisted-.
This brought the community to have a distorted view of social interactions and to a very impersonal view of women and to objectification (often going into male chauvinism and misogyny ).
WOMEN THINGS TO BE TRICKED
Women are the most complicated thing of this game.
Especially at the beginning, there was this view that you needed an excuse or some show of some sort to start talking and some kind of "magic spell" to make women attracted to you.
In a famous book a guy was going around with two different scents on his wrists, asking girls which one was better and then marking his own arm with a pen!!
And once you "opened", then you can lunge with the routines you memorized, make friend with the Alpha male, impress with bar games, ignore your target or even embarrass her, then tell stories to DHV, dismantle the shit tests she will throw at you.. All complicated things you need to study and memorize.
That never really went completely away.
SOCIAL WAR
Social interactions are often seen as a big chessboard game and you need to be very careful and re-learn all the rules to win "the game".
There's the alpha male you better befriend, the cockblocks, the HBs you don't have to look at too early on...
Often these interactions are seen as a struggle, a power struggle to always get the upper hand and "DHV" (which sometimes they are of course, but not always, and it only makes you a bad person -and in the wrong- to always see it this way)
Even when you go out mainly for women, it's not about meeting women for a good time together (sex being part of the good time).
It's about preparing yourself for a social war.
CHANGE YOUR REALITY, NOT IMPROVE YOURSELF
It's almost never about improving yourself to be a better all around person -even with guys and with respect to your community- and improving with girls as a normal byproduct of you being a better human being and feeling more comfortable with yourself.
It's most often about "playing a part (playing a role that's not you rather than becoming a better person)".
Play or confront the AMOG, move like this, say that, strut this way.
Some people have the signature of "this is my reality and you're a guest in it" and suggest you should adopt that mentality.
Which to me sounds like a refusal of improving yourself (also using other people's feedback) and a refusal of dealing honestly with the people you have around and hide in yourself in a fabricated, false reality (and you don't even need to care of the consequences of your actions)
There are many people who have mastered that well enough. They all gather in a lair full of narcotics and downers. It's called the "mental house".
WOMEN AS OBJECTS, PREYS AND FOREIGN BODIES
The groups are called "Sets".
And that's your stage where you better impress them.
A group of 2 is "a 2 set", 3 girls are "a 3 set" etc. etc.
PUAs gather in "lairs", where a bunch of guys talk about women and their attempts in field.
In field is the place where you "go sarging", that would mean "meeting women". Because of course "in field" is something different and external to your normal life, women are not part of your normal life and relationships don't stem from normal interactions...
There you can talk about "#close", which is not a close at all, "Kclose", which is not a close at all, and "Fclose", which might actually be a start to something rather than just a kill.
Women are called "HBx" where HB stands for "hot babe" and "x" stands for the rating of their physical attractiveness.
There's even "HB6", as nobody cared to point out that maybe a 6 is not so much of an HB
Often this goes beyond mere objectification and goes to downright misogyny.
A "theory" wanted that you were supposed to escalate until you "make the hoe say no".
