Pick-up artists believe that all women are the same: submissive, choosier than men when picking sexual partners, entranced by shiny objects. In the Community, players are self-made; most renowned pick-up artists claim they were socially awkward losers until they learned the tricks of the trade. When women come with cheat codes, rejection is not an option; if a play fails, the player tweaks his strategy instead of conceding defeat. To an American like myself, brainwashed to believe that you need to earn things like basic health care or education by working your ass off, it was quite a shock.
Denmark provides eighteen weeks of maternity pay usually at about two-thirds pay as well as separate parental leave options that couples may provide to the mother if they wish. The country has also offered incentives to fathers since the s to encourage them to take up paternity benefits. Denmark also offers one of the best universal child care systems in the world; as a result, the maternal employment rate in Denmark exceeds 80 percent. The more years she spends in them, the less likely she will be able to please you, physically and emotionally.
Unlike in America, where bestsellers goad already overworked and underpaid women to Lean In even further, the assumption in Denmark is that feminism is a collective goal, not an individual pursuit. You build Comfort and Trust once attraction has been established through rapport, which pick-up artists believe can be fast-tracked via touch.
Seduction is possible once a woman is sufficiently attracted and comfortable. The social Darwinism of the pub and club can therefore be approached like a science. It describes a set of social norms such as self-deprecation that discourage individual preening.
Therefore, when it comes to getting laid, your American attitude and belief system will cockblock the fuck out of you before you even open your mouth. We can agree with pick-up artists that men and women exhibit some behavioral differences. But the PUA framework places their sources in evolution instead of the sexual and social division of labor.
