I saw this article on the marginalrevolution.com blog.

From time to time - Tyler drops links related to PUA culture (he has discussed posts by Roissy/Chateau Heatiste in the past - which is funny considering it is the world's leading economics blog).

Quote:

Mo is a student of Kong Feng, the 32 year-old Beijing-based professional pick-up artist (Feng he says he’s also happy with “dating expert” or “attracting artist”) who founded the PUA Space school two years ago.

He was inspired by noticing a growing demand on internet forums for advice about how to meet and interact with girls in China, the 1.3 billion population of which has a 108:100 man to woman ratio and a much-written about ‘singles crisis’. He usually has five or six other full-time pick-up artists on the company’s books.

That ratio is nothing, since close to 100% of the women in prime age are slim and try to be presentable. Almost all Chinese men who are financially secure enough can get a wife or a date.

What the guy here is doing is optimizing their social awkwardness and teaching them how to open girls on the most basic level. It's not even much of Game - just a bare minimum compliment, having an optimized look for a young guy and thus being able to be less of a Beta.

Notice also how the article criticizes Game itself calling it manipulation. But the reality is that the "PUA" bases his stuff on the Mystery Method.
