I think a degree of manipulation is necessary, on both sides. It can't be done without playing games, hiding intentions. Its a subtle dance, the other person must always be wondering "Does he/she really like me? What is he/she thinking?" As soon as it becomes transparent, its over. Nobody wants something handed to them, they want to feel as if they conquered someone out of their league.
But most guys who follow the PUA thing are probably somewhat autistic, missing basic cues or signs or social rules. Women can smell that too, I think. When a man is following a formula or his behavior seems too scripted, its evident.

Ha. Sounds like something I would do.
i'll boil it down.
women minimally are born with a womb and can give sex, this affords them a greater minimal value than the most undesirable male, so the game is weighed against men at this level. (however that all women have minimally something of value also makes them a target; luckily that minimally valued thing also affords them a minimal protection usually)
Hmmm... I think I disagree. Women can withhold sex but men can withhold commitment. I'd say the game is evenly matched between the sexes. Men's power to withhold commitment (in other words to leave) after sex seems a built in check against women's power to choose. I don't think the OP has anything to complain about. If his grievance were against feminism, I would more readily see his point.
and indeed women tend to be 'carried' in societies whereas men have to 'earn it', so at the bottom women are getting more for less in terms of basic security, etc, which is minimally necessary to be happy.
also you have to consider priorities. men simply need more 'stuff' than women to be happy. their bodies are more demanding calorically and their other drives necessitate more stuff. so in other words, men are less likely to be content with less while women aren't. poverty makes men more unhappy than women, and it's one of the reasons why more men are antisocial than women.
Even if true, I think that doesn't empower women oven men in gender relationships, and (as I understand it) the OP was talking about the imbalance (or perceived imbalance) in gender relationships, not just whether men or women have it better off. If you wanted to, you could make a list of advantages men have over women or that women have over men... women have to cope with periods and pregnancy, only men could be drafted (until recently) and they tend to die younger... but unless that affects the dynamics between them what bearing does it have on this thread?
Also I'm not sure it's true that society "carries" women. I've heard that women take up more than their share of welfare and other benefits, but then women bear children. That's no small contribution to society, though there's no monetary value attached to it.
so even at the bottom the game is not really stacked against women, when you consider the big picture, which this post barely scratched the surface of.
I agree the game isn't stacked against women as a group oven men as a group. I actually think the two sexes are evenly matched, which is why I see no point of "fixing" anything, for the OP's sake or for society's.
