That dog is trying way too hard.

[wierd]

More, it is suffering from having a pretentious trainer-- It IS a show dog, after all.

Horses are harder to get to comply with such foolishness, and as such, are better able to pull off actual regal poise.

[Aslandus]

Ah yes, Dwarf fortress, start talking about the game, go into human rights and manipulation, then bend it right back into the game seamlessly...

[Rapozk]

Thanks for the warnings against PUA, I guess.


I study psychology and cognitive science, in short, PUA use general and simplified theories of real psychology to slightly up their chances in order get laid. Not always to get any actual attraction, a lot of them use it to make women feel bad or guilty about themselves in order to use their weakness to get sex. People are horrible.


I really just googled it because I didn't know the phrase, being that my first language isn't English, it was funny what the first website turned out to be.

extra respect for a three eyed hedgehog pulling it off

Honestly, confidence and posture do go a long way...

Alternately, I think it is highly likely that the Hedgehog is carrying one of these babies around:

...that's enough out of you, one can only hope you receive punitive punishment for your pungent pun!

To me, regal posture's always been about having a straight back, relaxed shoulders, being calm and confident. Best depicted by the eternal enemy of fortresses:

Also bonus for extra regality:

People are complicated (to quote XKCD).  And that is what makes them so interesting.  Effectively without limit.

PUA 'advanced techniques' are the exact same techniques employed by cults. Except PUAs don't have the decency to be swiftly taken out by government snipers.

I laughed out loud.

OP reads an awful lot like a spambot. I didn't know it was possible for a conscious person to write like that.

True story: before I read this thread, I knew what regal bearing was (I could add nothing to the excellent explanations provided by wierd and rawrcakes), but I didn't know that PUA was an acronym or what it stood for.

That's not the funny part though. The funny part was that, when I googled to find that out, "pick-up artist" wasn't exactly at the top of the list... For a minute I thought I wasn't going to get any answer besides "potentially unwanted application".

Which, if you think about it, is sort of like the computer equivalent of migrants, not of forgotten beasts, but... eh...
