Ask HN: A StackOverFlow or HN for relationships/PUA material. Would you use it?

5 points by d4 ↗ HN
Simple idea. Value proposition attacks the core of human nature, our wants and needs. Unsure atm of whether a StackOverflow-type site or the functionalities of HN would best address this community. Would you use such a service?

Nice, but it's still not nearly as populated as these forums: http://social-masters.com/blog/pua-forum.

The fact that there are 56 heavily-populated PUA forums deserves some attention. The fact that forums are still used deserves attention. There should be a better platform to address questions, share stories, and share links.

What's wrong with forums?

For a community driven mainly by external content, something like HN/Reddit makes sense - the links are the focus.

For a community driven mainly by the visitors' experiences and opinions, a forum is still a remarkably versatile and useful tool.

StackOverflow... StackOverflow is built around factual answers to exact questions, rather than open-ended discussion.

Good point. I still use forums.

Nevertheless, you don't see the PUA community frequenting reddit.com/seduction. Don't know the % of them who actually know what Reddit is. I don't know of any one true "base," for lack of a better word, to find good PUA content (ex: TechMeme for tech news).

I'm sorry. I'm not understanding what your service would do. What would it do?

It would probably help guys get better at getting women. PUA is a whole movement out there.

A website with similar interface to SO or Quora would be very useful.

No, I wouldn't use it.

Have you seen the rubbish on relationships on Yahoo Answers?! Sheesh, there's some special kind of crazy people on there.
