Pickup Artist (PUA)

A Pickup Artist (PUA) is someone who studies and practices strategies to improve their social skills and increase their chances of forming romantic or sexual connections. They often focus on understanding social dynamics, body language, and communication techniques to build attraction and rapport. While some approaches emphasize confidence and genuine connection, others may rely on scripted routines or psychological tactics. The term is sometimes associated with a community that shares advice and experiences, aiming to enhance dating success, though perspectives on such methods vary based on ethical considerations and individual experiences.
