You could be right - I just go by his word as stated in multiple interviews. He could be covering.

I didnt know you were a PUA (former). 

Must be a lot of work, shaking off that system! Or sorting through the good/bad.

Look up his seduction book. It was written a bit before the first wave of PUAs and mentioned in "The Game." I don't know if Greene himself was PUA persay as it's understood today but his seduction book is one of the spiritual grandfather books that inspired the whole movement. He is proto-pua

Perhaps, now. But Robert has gone on record to make clear (48 laws of power) he wrote it from the perspective of "these are dynamics you need to be aware of". He didn't write the book initially with the premise it was a manipulation manual.

I know, but his readers don't make such a distinction and his career is built on the blurring of that line.

Of course Greene will not come out and admit that he writes books for psychopaths. But when I hear that someone's favorite author is Robert Greene, I suspect a psychopath.

Robert Greene is a psychopath honeypot.

I can’t relate to him. He sounds smart but his style doesn’t resonate

Don't get me wrong, I have learned a lot of good from him. He says genuinely wise things.

Yes. Going through the book now on Audible. Some of it is pretty good/profound.

His best book is the Laws Of Human Nature.

I have not looked at the Sublime book yet.
