I’ve done some classroom teaching, and I’ve seen how other students react to students who behave similarly (eye rolling, snickering, etc.) I’ve also seen this from the student side, people like to heap scorn on students who act like this (when they aren’t around.)
It depends on, among other things, how much the students like the lecturer and what kind of subject is being taught (I gather that honesty is valued more, and politeness less, in the hard sciences than in humanities).
To be clear, I’m not saying everything PUA’s say is nonsense. They’ve said so much that by sheer random chance some of it is probably good. But most of PUA stuff is terrible armchair theorizing by internet people who seem very angry at women.
PUA isn’t the only thing that Sturgeon’s Law applies to, though.
