But you say: “Yes, and that’s why one learns something: to control nature. However, I’m not saying high-status can be readily faked; that’s why one must practise over and over.” Doesn’t Strauss practice this stuff “over and over”?? “Of course, persistence is required to learn anything, and here’s a trait not everyone possess —hence not everyone may become a PUA, as much as not everyone may become a good dancer.” In human mating just as in sports, not only persistence in practicing smth matters. You can be persistent as hell, train 24/7 and you will never play in the NBA if you were born very short. Try a different sport.
