I have an acquaintance who was sort of a PUA type and even he said this - don't ask women questions you don't truly care about the answer to; get to know who they actually are, and if you don't have anything in common, move on to someone you can make an authentic connection with. Excellent advice, I think.

Talking to women really isn't that complicated. Just be authentic. You won't be a match for everyone but nobody is, but you will be a match for those who are actually resonant for who you are. And yes, being genuinely curious allows you to find all kinds of cool things to connect around. But mostly men don't want to hear this for some reason. I guess because then there is no scapegoat if things don't go great....
