No, they can't.
I don't think it does. It's like not having an extra 100 dollars for leisure expenses, compared to stealing those 100 dollars from an old lady's purse. I'd prefer not having them than stealing them. But whatever floats your boats.Beats getting nothing via honest methods.
The sad thing is that you wish you were like one of those PUA insecure jerks, when in fact that's the last thing you want to be, if your goal is to have a strong, beautiful relationship with a woman you love.
