From the googled description, I think that maybe some of my dwarves wants this guy in the fortress. After all, my fortress consists of only women except for two dwarves, wheres both of them is already married.

What I googled: "Have you even seen a guy walk into a room and all the women turn and look? Have you noticed that it’s not always the pretty boys who get that treatment?

The secret is one of the key components of Charisma, namely: Regal Bearing."
also:
"Regal Bearing may be broken down into two fundamentals: Posture, and Body Language.

Posture means what you think it means. Are you standing up straight or slouching? Are your shoulders back or rounded forward? Do you move as if you are in command of your body or as if you can barely walk a straight line?

Women (and men who would follow you) respond to someone who has good posture, even if they can’t exactly identify it. Because women will often decide whether they’d sleep with you within the first three minutes of meeting you, your posture is critical in those first few minutes."

extra respect for a three eyed hedgehog pulling it off

women, the mystical unicorns of the gamer world.

I don't think that site you got your information from is going to let you in on any secrets of the mysteries of women

We are individuals and generally act as separate autonomous beings. And no women I have ever known are weighing out sleeping with a dude they just met based on anything, much less posture.

That may be true, but a good posture certainly leave a good impression, and that extra bit of confidence usually snowball into something positive.
Not just with women.  Even your own body responds to your own posture.

Also, I think the guy was just googling 'Regal posture' because he didn't know what he was doing and got on a PUA website by mistake, not exactly his fault.

I'm slightly concerned that anyone thinks that all women behave in a specific, easily defined manner, or that they are sizing you up the moment you enter a room and deciding whether they are sexually interested or not.

Women are peoples, too, guys.

Its not just women; all people tend to respond in a fashion that can be predicted to a degree of accuracy; and narrowed down per demographic.  You can thank our culture and adverts.

Men, still tending to be the more aggressive of the sexes, are being exploited into believing that women behave in one particular fashion, and don't understand that the advice given on sites like that only work within specific instances.

But there certainly exists research and methods for arousal or manipulation.  Thats all those PUAs are: generalized and somewhat inaccurate pointers based on studies of human behavior.

And, its important to note that those won't work on everyone and cant be guaranteed to work and any one person.  Those tactics are about playing odds and percentages.  And the odds are usually bad.  Like single digit bad.

Yeah, Rapozk, you should keep in mind that this kind of website is part of the PUA movement: a movement of people preying on people that don't know better by selling them fake "tricks" to get amorous success based on the general idea that women are brainless objects to be disposed off.

Needless to say, that kind of material will make you unwelcome in polite society.

Still funny to see a regal horny three-eyed hedgehog though.

Considering some of the tactics of PUAs, I don't feel like it's the men getting exploited. The women that kind of thing does work on, stuff like backhanded compliments to manipulate their self-esteem and just treating women like they are there solely for sex is going to be a little more detrimental to the women involved.

The men are being exploited because they're being given more-or-less useless advice (someone susceptible to this kind of obvious manipulation is probably intoxicated/depressed/etc to fall for anything).  It's like arming the guy with a gun that only affects nearsighted zebras and plunking him down between some lions and elephants, with something that might be a zebra on the horizon.

[smeeprocket]

right because exploiting depressed and low self-confidence women is a loss for the guy using them.

Anyway, three-eyed hedgehogs are clearly sexist as all hell, is what we need to take away from this.

[Tacomagic]

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

[smeeprocket]

is that a monocle for a multi-eyed creature? :?.

I remember when I first heard the name 'PUA'.  They wanted $200 for a book about it, and offered watered down prose for free.  Before those men became cheeseflakes (some of them, at least) were just looking to be accepted and popular and follow what society told them was good.  Like how some gals try to emulate models who are clearly photoshopped, have thighs that dont touch, and are literally impossible for most girls to become.
