In this essay I introduce the fundamental premise of pickup artistry as, "I suck at talking to women, and I want to learn how so that they are excited about the possibility of sex or romance with me." I then introduce one of the most popular romantic games - man the pursuer, woman the pursued - and how it can reinforce beliefs about man the predator and woman the victim. Given the fundamental premise of pickup, you can likely see how even that positive premise can begin to go awry when its placed within such a romantic game.
