The pick up part I don't have a problem with. I don't even have a problem with the idea of differences between how women and men think and how there are ways to increase your odds in situations whether they be noble or less than noble. Dating is a game. Girls/women play games too. Even if you have the best of intentions there is a sort of dance to interacting with the opposite sex. There has been a dance that has existed since we crawled out of the trees and I think that anyone who denies that or that it still doesn't have a place in our society is being purposefully blind.
However, there are undeniably some sexist leanings, even more so in the whole community that surrounds it. Some of the stuff I read in the PUA comminity and anti-PUA community after the recent murders were literally stomach turning. I had no idea there were large groups of men that actually had thoughts and feeling like that.
