Nice start! I wasn't sure if this was going to be a "rip on the community" thread, but I really enjoy the balanced objective view you provided.
I myself am one of those guys who started out just wanting to learn "why the fuck am I so goddamn awful with women and how can I get to the point where I can get any girl I wish I were able to get, but keep fucking it up with?!" I can now say that I can happily get just about any girl that I interact with and feel attracted to, although I am never one to break up a relationship just to get with a girl and I follow my own personal code of ethical conduct quite diligently. Many guys ask me to show them that I can just pick up "any girl", yet that was never my goal and still isn't my goal at this point, so I usually tell them "no, I'm not interested in HER, I'm interested in THAT girl."
My "stumbling points" (not sticking points, I stumble over them and recover these days) are entirely centered upon my own unique psychological issues that I've recently been having great success at tracking back to their initial source...my emotionally, verbally abusive step-father. I'm still a lot mixed up as far as the "reality" of many situations, cause I was always blamed for anything and everything and I was always somehow supposed to know better, so anyone who is familiar with me from the forum will agree when I say, "I over-analyze EVERYTHING". I made a major breakthrough regarding that problem just tonight actually, so I have high hopes that I am now going to resume moving forward at the overly speedy pace that I enjoy most!
I often tell people that I'm probably one of the most honest people they'll ever meet in their entire lives and I mean it! If you want my opinion, I usually love giving it - hell sometimes I can't help but give it to people who don't want to hear it. I've never claimed to be a "master" with women, I quite openly and honestly explained to many of my first "students", that I hadn't had sex for 2 1/2 years, yet based on the results I was providing people with it wasn't much of an issue for most people surprisingly enough. I honestly loathe being called a Pickup Artist, a PUA, an MPUA, or a GURU; I'm not any of those things and a sure don't want to be, yet those are the very same words you'll hear from most of the guys who deserve to be on the top 10 list of the seduction community and I can say I consider a few of those men to be the best mentors I've ever had and despite very little time spent with them, I still consider at least 2 of them to be good friends of mine because of the way they have shaped my beliefs and made me a better person.
I've never dated a supermodel and I don't think I'd really want to. I haven't yet had the pleasure of a threesome; although the possibility was pretty good for a short while a few weeks ago until I over-analyzed the relationship and caused a situation that requires a lot of me being a better man in order to rebuild the trust I damaged. I'm 26 1/2 and I'm pretty sure I've had sex less than 50 times and no relationship has lasted longer than 1 month because I was always so worried I'd fuck it up...that I'd fuck it up, hahaha! I'm truly one of the worst workshop marketers I've ever seen, although I am actually quite a great Marketing and Sales Rep for several companies. I am the 2nd longest position holding Moderator on this forum, with what I assume is still the highest post count of anyone, many of which are these ridiculously lengthy and unreadable ramblings - although I honestly feel that Chief has put in more time and effort here as an acting Moderator over the years, since I have gone on several long absences. I've put far more hours in on this forum than I have in a bar and to be honest, I prefer it that way, I'm kinda bored at bars cause my type of girls don't hang out there, they hang out at music festivals, kink clubs, alternative venues and other such non-mainstream locations.
You'll be hard pressed to find any other coach within the community who openly and honestly say anything they feel like about themselves without caring what people think. Maybe that's one reason why I've never been great at marketing myself as a coach, yet if lying and caring about money rather than results is what it takes to be successful in this community, well...that's why I left for so long. This sure as hell wasn't a sales pitch, yet if you're looking for a guy who can help you get you the results that you're after, I'm pretty damn confident that whatever those results are, as long as you're honest with yourself and they truly are what you want and you're honest with me about them; I'm one of the few people who can show you how YOU can achieve those results and be yourself doing that, without pretending to be some schmuck who needs corny lines, magic tricks, silly gimmicks, to demean and degrade the women that you want to like you and feel comfortable enough to share themselves with you completely.
You know who I am. I fuckin' RYE LEE bitches!!
