The "pick up" mindset implies a number of things about the kinds of relationships "pick up artists" have with women:
- Calling them "girls" implies they are young and not really in the adult world, and not on an equal level with "men".
- The phrase "pick up" implies that women are objects, to be "picked up", not to be viewed as equals.
- The whole pick up mindset turns dating into a game that men are out to win, rather than it being about finding someone you can build a relationship with.
- The word "dedicated" in this context implies a disturbing commitment to this approach to dealing with women.
I'm responding because my comment was sincere. I hope that people who get into the pick up mindset can recognize the shallowness of that approach, and move on to forming more respectful and lasting relationships with women.
