The things that you mention are only tangentially related to sex, or pickup for that matter. Yes, there are risks like STDs (practice safe sex), but sex is just a physically enjoyable act between 2 people.

You don’t need to lie or be dishonest to practice pickup. In the modern dating scene it is perfectly fine to be open about your intentions, and enjoy casual relationships with many women. Pickup will teach you how to do that.

It’s not about lying or cheating, it’s about building confidence & social skills, and developing an understanding for what women find attractive.

I have really screwed up my life since I started having sex. Gaming
really is a slippery slope. I noticed that people who lie to girls also tend to have lower ethics in other areas of their life. Someone who has seduced or cheated on a girl also might try drugs, smoking, getting a tattoo, going in debt, and failing to pay income taxes.

I think gamers would be better off concentrating on positive activities like education or business. How many guys like Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Eliot Spitzer, Rudy Giuliani, John Edwards, Jim Bakker, Newt Gingrich, Gary Hart, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Marv Albert, and David Letterman have had sex scandals? Having a sex scandal is a black mark that never helps people become successful.

I am filled with remorse from years of fooling around. I never thought I would feel so bad. Not all girls deserve being cheated. I was brought up in a religious home and that may be part of the reason I feel guilty and immoral.​ I am not judging anyone, but I really want to caution people how destructive sex can be.
