I don't think you can catagorize men into two classes: PUA and AFC. A guy can be in a LTR and not be AFC. If what you suggest is true, then the only way to not be a chump is to keep having meaningless sex and to never have a relationship.
I happen to believe that the only way to win the game is to find the perfect woman for you and leave the game behind. Fucking a woman is easy. Mastering a relationship and being a superior man is the perfect sarge.
I'm not sure. I think you win the game when you stop playing it. Once you completely and totally internalize everything PU teaches (inner game, how to be a man, how to interact socially) and you get to the point that your personality is naturally one that attracts others
then I think you win the game. You win because you're not consciously playing the game any longer, it's who you are.
I think sarging is just the tool we use, the medium if you will, with which we all learn to be better men. More self-assured, better with social interactions, secure with who we are, etc. I think if you're here trying to get an LTR you'll end up just where you began.
