A polarizing guy with ambition and vision.
Soon they'll be calling you a narcissist and a sociopath. That's what some of these guys associate strong personalities with. I honestly believe it's just because they're weak and they're experiencing cognitive dissonance and backwards rationalization.
I agree that lifestyle comes first. It's actually what the real guys with success know. You work on yourself first, and women come along with that.
As far as your stance that no technique works I have to beg to differ. If there is a technique designed to make a woman laugh, and you use it and she laughs, the fucking technique worked. This whole idea that no technique works sounds like something a fool would say.
What you're advocating here is a particular style of pick-up based around self improvement and innergame. Guess what though... If someone does that and adds technique on top of it then they have far greater potential than just using a one sided approach.
BTW, when I say technique I'm not talking about rigid routines that you try a force a girl through like an actor in a movie. The game has been evolved beyond that for years. Now a days techniques are just one off moves you use during the pick-up while flowing in a natural fun conversation. Plus having knowledge of things that you don't want to do during the pick-up which will kill the attraction.
Extra stuff you can learn that translate into all areas of your life include:
Being aware of body language and reading people. Learning how to be influential and persuasive. And for me personally having a deep understanding of psychology and human thinking patterns.
I'm sure you'll disagree, but I look forward to seeing what you talk about as a fellow go getta.
