The Neil Strauss book "The Game" is pretty well known inspiration for virginal adult men who have no game ie. confidence or personality. /r/theredpill is very popular although I would not recommend looking into it. And there are plenty of gaming forum boards etc that foster that type of discussion. I also see telephone post ads all over the place.

In Toronto PUAs have been an issue in the downtown core. The biggest downtown mall has had a major problem with PUAs going in en masse to practice their artistry. Oddly enough, if they only tried a few blocks west in the dance clubs of the Entertainment District they would probably have more success but perhaps lack the funds or confidence to do so.

A guy named James Sears/Dimitrious Sarafopoulos aka Dimitri the Lover, a former physician who had his licence revoked for sexual assault, runs lots of social media and will even teach you to be as awesome as him for a fee.

His latest tweet sums up how he misunderstands relationships: "Open relationships are the best BUT BE DISCREET! Every one I had was sexually, emotionally & spiritually fulfilling TILL MY GF's CAUGHT ME." He apparently thinks that an open relationship/polyamory is not something that is a mutual decision.
