Project Description
This diary chronicles the journey of a PUA learner, who initially dives into the world of pick-up artistry with the hope of gaining control and validation through manipulative techniques. As they progress, the excitement of early successes begins to fade, replaced by an unsettling realization of the harm they are causing to others and, ultimately, to themselves. The learner's story reveals a gradual awakening to the toxic cycle they are trapped in, where they come to understand that they, too, are victims of the very ideology they once embraced. Through their eyes, we witness the emotional toll and the eventual struggle to break free from the destructive patterns that PUA imposes on both the pursuer and the pursued.
