| Comment | 'Pickup' started as a way to teach men how to be more confident around women, learn methods to initiate sexual relationships, and to shed the behaviours which kept them from having these sexual relationships up to that point. There's a loose science to it. 'Women (in general, and according to collated data) prefer X; here's how to do x'.
Is it open to abuse? Sure. Everything is. But let's not pretend it's inherently evil to learn skills related to sex just because some guy overstepped the mark.
Language like 'creep' and 'power' and 'manipulation' is accurate of one guy - not the countless others who used the techniques they learned simply to improve their chances with women. |
