Abstract

The spread of the PUA phenomenon in Chinese society has attracted widespread attention and discussion. This article conducts an in-depth analysis of PUA from multiple perspectives, including its behavioral characteristics, causes, and legal regulations. Firstly, the article points out the characteristics of PUA behavior in emotional relationships, such as psychological manipulation and objectification, as well as its specific manifestations in different fields. It also explores the deep-seated causes of the PUA phenomenon, such as remnants of feudal thinking, gender inequality concepts, power dynamics, and more. Finally, the article provides a detailed analysis of the difficulties faced in the legal regulation of PUA behavior, including issues of behavioral classification, determination of subjective malice, and application of the law. It then proposes strengthening judicial interpretation and enhancing regulation of online platforms.
