中國最早的一批名氣較旺的PUA導師往往有國外學習經歷,回國後就把這個體系推向商業化。例如圈內有名的Tanggo,在美國接受過PUA的洗禮後,2010年回到中國開始組建他的「泡學團隊」。這批導師的事業就是靠PUA教學來賺錢。
如果僅僅是一種亞文化,PUA還不至於如此迅猛地佔領男青年寂寞的心靈,但PUA團隊將眼光盯緊男青年的錢包時,就總會想盡辦法讓他們掏錢,PUA的神奇功能也被越吹越大。但實際上,很多PUA導師自己都沒有實戰經驗。
某網站上的PUA課程,全程直播男生撩妹的過程 / 視頻截圖 女生其實是有方法識別或跳出這個陷阱的。由於PUA的技巧許多遵循以打壓女性和建立男性主導地位的原則,當女生建立起自信時,就不容易被迷惑也不容易受到傷害。如果發現對方不願意承諾或者投入長期關係,若即若離,有明顯的控制欲等,也可以提高警惕。
但是PUA傷害的何止是被當做「獵物」的人,玩家一樣深受其害。PUA理論把戀愛行為簡化成一系列演技,在不斷地「搭訕」、「打壓」、「試探」、「橋段」……「推倒」然後退出的遊戲中,以為自己「贏了遊戲」的人,最後失去的卻是對於愛情的信任,以及真正愛和關心的能力。
這場鬧劇,本來就沒有真正的贏家,除了賺得盆滿缽滿的PUA導師,沒有人能全身而退。
