Tailgater
Quick Definition:
A GPUA or rAFC that follows a more experienced PUA around, in the hopes of gaining knowledge and benefit from his sets without offering any value in return. Also known as a hugger.
Full Definition:
A tailgater is someone who is a value taker. While it is fine to see a demonstration by a more experienced PUA in a seminar or bootcamp setting, hovering and hoping to benefit from other’s sets when the tailgater is not friends with the PUA is generally low status behavior.
In the worst case, tailgaters will interrupt sets, DLV the PUA through uncalibrated behavior, and just generally act as a cockblock. The best way to deal with a tailgater is to politely tell them to go away, tell them to RTFM, distract them with a pawn, or simply ignore them.
Usage:
I had a tailgater who kept interrupting my sets, so I had to change to another venue.
