I find it tremendously amusing that some men find the success of pickup
artistry to be more than a little disturbing. Now, I understand the
female lack of enthusiasm about the reality; one of the funnier moments
of the show Castle is the pickup artist episode in which Beckett is led
to declare: "I weep for my sex" upon learning that three mediocre guys
are successfully using formalized Game practices to cut a wide swath
through the flower of New York City's strong independent career women.
It's understandably embarrassing for women to learn how many of their
educated and high-status sisters will fall for such transparently
superficial and insincere tactics.
But what explains the depression of the BETA male? It is the shattering
of his worldview, and the forced realization that all of his
self-perceived superiority isn't of any value at all to anyone but
himself. Nevertheless, the world is what it is, not what we wish it to
be.
