found:Work cat: The language of pick-up artists, 2022:ECIP galley ("a brief definition of who pick-up artists are: men who practice speed seduction of women, strongly influenced by the belief that the application of specific routines and scripted techniques are key to being successful in this endeavour. According to the community itself, and here we draw on a definition from a popular PUA website, a 'pick up artist is a man (or less commonly, a woman FPUA) who is dedicated to improving his skills with the opposite sex through the methods found in the pickup community--a community of guys who study how to seduce and sleep with women' (PUA Lingo 2008a, n.p.)" ... "Pick-up artists are one instantiation of what is known as the manosphere, 'a sprawl of blogs, forums, and websites devoted to discussing masculinity' (Marwick and Lewis 2017, 13). Other groups associated with the manosphere are men's rights activists, male separatists (Men Going Their Own Way; MGTOW), incels (involuntary celibates), fathers' rights activists, etc.") (DLC)2021048103

The community exists through Internet newsletters and blogs, marketing (e.g. banner ads, seminars, one-on-one coaching), forums and groups, as well as local clubs, known as "lairs". A pickup artist is a person who practices finding multiple sexual partners.
