Everyone knows about the inane PUA garbage you need to run in order to get through the defenses of a self-absorbed, aloof, frigid American girl, right? All of this behavior is ridiculous, but unfortunately necessary if you want to inspire sexual attraction in a modern woman. At least, that's the case here and now, but it hasn't always been the case, and it won't always be the case.

Two observations: (1) Pick-up artist bullshit is becoming commonplace enough that it's going to play itself out; it's just a matter of when. PUA tricks work too well right now to stay under wraps. Within a few years, the phenomenon could reach saturation and begin to go out of style, resulting in diminishing returns for PUA behaviors and an increased value of a genuine approach. (2) As the years pass, new women are going to come on to the dating scene, and they're likely to be a more conservative/naive (better raised) set of girls who've never heard of Sex and the City and find hookup culture abhorrent. To them, PUA behavior will seem archaic and boorish, and sincere, genuine men will be refreshingly different.

By December 21, 2012, PUA behavior could have easily evolved from the status of being what one has to do to attract women, to a behavior that identifies a man as a loser. If womens' tastes in men evolve (Michelle Obama effect; positive role models) in a positive direction, then the women born 1989-92 are going to have literally no idea why men slightly older than them are behaving like such assholes.
