I've encountered "pua" (= "pick up artist") used in Chinese, like [this](https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/97178547).

# A word for "dating", "game", "seduction"

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-05-26)

I'm trying to learn some new words and it came to my mind this word we use in English "game", not like videogames or games to have fun but this "game" that involves talking to girls, approaching in the street, etc.

I've searched in Google, other forums, tried to translate different synonyms in pleco but I couldn't find a word with this precise meaning, maybe it is a slang word?

Does any word in mandarin with this meaning come to your head? Thanks for your help!
