I'd think a lot of these sorts of advice websites and books would have some amount of margin of error, like I feel like they will pick a particular category of women and give you 'techniques' on how to attract them...so if one relies on it like the bible or something they could miss out on women outside the group the advice is meant to attract. I mean I feel like its about the sort of women who are very much in on popular culture and norms. So I feel like you have to be looking for that sort of women for any PUA stuff to really work...I get the impression much of it would be lost on someone like me who's never been very prone to social norms. Granted I get the impression a lot guys who are into PUA stuff aren't looking for weird girls into nerdy stuff who have an aversion to dressing femininely.
Well, today's PUA literature largely goes by the mantra "AWALT" --- all women are like that. In which case, there is no such thing as "particular category". Also, the term "PUA", popular during the 2000's, is somewhat outdated now; ditto for "seduction community". It's been supplanted by "Red Pill", especially when it comes to getting sex. The difference is that PUA focused more on the results, while Red Pill focuses more on the root cause (alpha/beta divide between men).
MGTOW and MRA are related to Red Pill, but are actually rival movements, and there's quite a bit of infighting between all three. There's been some attempts to unite them as a single front, but success was limited, due to the diverging focuses.
And that is where it is wrong, there are different types of females...but it only acknowledges the one type, the sort that are into pop culture, follow all the current fashion trends and such so the more steryotypical ones. But again its certainly possible that's the sort of females guys who come up with and use those techniques are mostly interested in. So they don't see reason to include other types....doesn't really matter to me because a lot of people into PUA are those 'bro-ish'/frat boy type males, jocks and guys I've never really had a lot of interest in, usually it is more normie females who like them anyways.
