There are two groups of people in pua, those who share knowledge about attracting others and those who seek it. It stands as obvious that the simplest description would then be that PUA is either seeking knowledge in attracting others or sharing it with a view to improving one's ability in attracting others.

PUA can be hypnotic, PUA can be formulaic, PUA can be natural. PUA is all of these things and to describe it as any individual one is wrong. The best known version is Mystery's formulaic one simply because of the media attention it got but that does not make it the only definition of what PUA is.
