As a guy who luckily only had to deal with the shitty realm of PUA in the early 2000s, I will say that typically it's not a bike crash that gets you in the road. It's more like you stumble across some con man who says he can "pick up any girl he wants and he'll show you how!" So being a young impressionable male you try the advice and it usually doesn't work. That leads (me at least) down the path of misogyny and "nice-guy ness" (I'm very sorry, I'm better now), and bada boom you've got yourself a roganite.
