In this essay I address the big question everyone has about pickup artistry, are their theories actually true? To answer this we have to understand the nature of theory itself much more deeply. How do our theories shape our experiences and define our interpretations of those experiences?

In this essay I talk about how the romantic game of man the pursuer and woman the pursued leads to romantic misinterpretations. This turns this game into man the predator and woman the victim. Find out why this happens and what we can start doing about it.

In this essay I introduce the fundamental premise of pickup artistry as, "I suck at talking to women, and I want to learn how so that they are excited about the possibility of sex or romance with me."

I then introduce one of the most popular romantic games - man the pursuer, woman the pursued - and how it can reinforce beliefs about man the predator and woman the victim. Given the fundamental premise of pickup, you can likely see how even that positive premise can begin to go awry when its placed within such a romantic game.
