Grow the fuck up.
Funny, I was thinking that about you. Quite sensitive are you now? Haha.
You don't know the man in real life. This is the internet. People say crazy things for laughs. This is serious stuff that happens in the real world. You cannot sit there with 100% certainty and say it is true. You gave your
opinion and I gave mine. The world isn't over and you can put your panties back in your skirt.
I AM kinda sensitive about people taking light of other people's lives, you are right. Congratulations for realising that the internet is not always as it seems and people often try to mislead others for their own amusement, that's quite the accomplishment and I'm sure any 8 year old kid that I've had the pleasure of interacting with on certain other forums and that managed to put me in my place with their intelligence, would agree with you on. Here however, we like to try and hold ourselves to a higher ideal and you can believe that greater than 90% of the users on this forum are legitimate in what they say (although often misguided and missinformed about what actually went on, hence why they post here, so that we can point out the judgement mistakes they made and guide them towards becoming more socially apt), because they truly do want to become better men. I think you should keep this concept in mind as you continue reading this post.

That involves becoming an adult and aware of the reality of the world we live in; it isn't always pretty, it can be a hard cruel world and there are things out there that would make your stomach turn inside out if you knew the truth of them. You wanna be a fucking man, then you're gonna have to be able to look around and see this world and understand how you fit in.
I find your innocence absolutely
hilarious. Do you know me? Your arrogance, assumptive-attitude, and preachy speech about the world to a total stranger leads me to believe you have never learned how to gauge your audience. Never assume things about people is one of the first things I can teach you. If you aren't sure, ask.
Believe it or not, I actually pride myself on my innocence. The post I made directly above spoke of my adventures at a music festival, where on on night when the sky sparkled with an exceptional beauty, I pointed out the ludicrous things in the world around us, for when I'm on a bender I tend to philosophize like the devil, perhaps why I was so outspoken last night. I was commended by many a person that had gathered around to listen to a mad man rave about the inadequecies of of the world and how with all the time, effort and money people spend on the pursuit of bigger toys and more happiness, I was having far more fun and entertaining the whole lot of them (I had a fairly sizeable crowd I must admit) with my favorite toys in the whole world: a $48 with shipping and handling, set of colour changing LED juggling balls, that shine and shimmer like nothing you could imagine (at least on nights like those, hehe).
I am indeed innoccent and I suffer for it on many an occassion, which is why, when someone else comes forward and bares their own innoccence, as Diesel has done, I welcome them with open arms. I also consider myself somewhat of a poet with prose and it would behoove you to realise I speak with passion and not anger, nor naivety.

Have some respect and courtesy for your fellow human beings.....
Skepticism does not equate to a lack of respect and courtesy for 'my fellow human beings'. Once again, more preachy assumptive speech. Sad.
Sure it does, when you phrase your skepticism poorly. If you'll notice, one of my very first posts in this thread questioned the validity of it and whether or not he was attention whoring. I believe I did it with a little more tact than you though and I hope you can learn and grow from the experience. I have not always been the well worded and tactful diplomat, I have had books thrown in my face by girls in the middle of class, I have been called cocky and an asshole; yet by the good fortune I've had, I found myself in a community of men that encourages us to learn from our mistakes, with the intent that in the future we will perform better under similar circumstances.
I chastize you not out of hatred or uncaring, but because I DO care. That's right bud, I'm posting this for YOUR benifit, because I care about YOUR growth and development. I'm not posting this for my own satisfaction and enjoyment (although I do enjoy the act of helping others, such as yourself along their way), I'm posting this because you've voiced your desire to learn and I hope to participate in that experiene if you let me.
I learned an amazing lesson from Randy Pausch (R.I.P great sir, I am a better man for your passing) when I watched his Last Lecture
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo . He gave a quote from one of his football coaches as a kid, after a particularly grueling day of practice, during which the coach rode him excessively hard. The coach came up to him and said, "Coach rode you pretty hard today huh? That's GOOD. When you're doing something wrong and no one is bothering to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be. It means they gave up on you. Your critics are the ones that are telling you they still love you and care." So don't take the things myself, or any of the other members that counter your ideas, as being hateful (generally speaking and when not, be the bigger man, we'd prefer not to fight), but as messages of kindness, attempting to help you along your path to self betterment (sounds like that's what you're doing if you're not here to manipulate women, but instead to "learn as much as you can"). Unfortunately sometimes kindness comes in the form of tough love, such as when the parent hurts their child by yanking them off the street before being hit by a car; the parent is trying to save the kid's life, yet without stepping back from the situation, he only see his mom trying to rip his arm out of it's socket. Learn to step back and see the purpuse underneath.

Seriously, I'm getting kinda tired of people running around the forum giving guys crap for sharing their lives, because they don't have the worldly experience to realise these situations are perfectly plausable. The reason why we're here is to share our experiences and grow from each other, so let's do that instead of being antagonistic, shall we?
Of course date rape is plausible. You spelled it wrong, by the way. That means it's true? Because it's plausible? You can believe it's true. No problem. That doesn't mean every poster on this forum has to take it as fact. All I did was
post my skepticism and you go off on a pissy moany rant.
First off, poor taste criticising my spelling man. I write some long as fucking posts, I write quickly, it was late, I was tired, I was intoxicated and I mispelled one bloody word. Perhaps as I was urging you to do for the OP, you could cut ME some slack too and anyone else who happens to make the occassional spelling or grammatical error; we don't all have english degrees and as you obviously understood what I meant, I see you reason why I should have to run my posts through a spell checker for you.
This is plausable and if you knew as much about cold reading people as I do, then you'd be able to see the sincerity and notice that there are next to no plot holes, or gloatings (you took his statement of the environment as being gloating, that's how you interpretted it, but not how it was intended, he was fact giving so that we could paint a picture in our heads and live the event with him), which are prevalent in fabricated events. I used to make quite the habit of lying, I took it to an artform in some instances and even with careful and studious effort into making a story seamless, it is impossible to make a fake story flawless. I also refuse to believe someone would post a thread that is about warning other people; waste the time creating the perfect story and then vehemently defend it, repeatedly, all the while never bragging, or trying to sound cool, for sheer amusement's sake. Don't believe me though, that's cool, I'm NOT always right (thank god, that would be fucking boring), so ask some other members with decent cold reading skills, such as Hobbit, Chief (guy is scary, I could see him being an icon some day in the community, hella talented, especially at his age and one of the most sincere sounding people I've seen on the forum, I'm proud to have him as the new site admin, even though he's been a mod the shortest of us all and he is the youngest of us all; not that either are skill determining circumstances, some people just have a knack), Roads (I see talent in the guy, whether he sees it in himself or not), Dalziel, or two of our new mods Ace_of_Spades and Locke, as they are all quite respectable.
You posted skepticism and I made a statement of my intent to work against people intent on trivializing posts that are made in a serious tone. I like having fun as much as the next guy, I admit one of my guilty pleasures is voicing MY skepticism of someone's story, then poking holes through it, in the search for the underlying truth. Just as I did in this thread, actually. I voiced skepticism on several points and then after digging out some truth, I saw the worth of it; I did not however climb up on a podium and yell "bullshit".

And the REAL reason why 'we are here' is because men are horny and they want to learn how to get laid.
By the by, you want to talk about what it is to be a real man?
Real men don't lie and manipulate women to get sex. I am not knocking the Game, I am for it because I think single men and single women should have fun together.
But don't kid yourself. You are a con-artist, a deceptive, dishonest, manipulative man when you use these methods on women. That is not 'learning how to be a man'.
A real man is masculine and honest and doesn't have to lie and make crap up to get a girlfriend. As far as picking women up, you aren't going to pick up any intelligent, classy women. You pick up dumb sluts that fall for this act and are easy to get into bed.
I agree, a real man shouldn't lie to get women; manipulation isn't right and I think if you polled the forum (fuck it, I'll do it for you, key an eye out for the thread, I bet it'll be a hit) you'll find that the VAST majority of the value contributing members of this forum, would agree with us. I'm glad to see that you value the lives of others and don't want to manipulate them in order to serve your own needs, that sort of thing sickens me tbh.
Most of us came to these conclusions a long time ago, it's not new to the community, but please help us spread the message, we're always happy to have more people to fight the good fight. If you look search for posts with the words "3rd generation PUA" in them, you will almost always find a subsequent reference to how the community has become more dedicated to all around self improvement, life enhancement and other well intentioned ideals, rather than the previously known group of men bent on banging as many blonde bimbos as they could jam their dicks into.

P.S. I am happily married (real love), I am only here because I love to learn all things.
Let me guess your next move - you are going to ban me from the forums. That's what your 'type' do. You are a slave to your body - slave to your lust for women, slave to your emotions like anger than control your actions
Nope, course not, although I just remembered that I was recently given this sweet power, by our new site admin, thanks for that. I'd like to think that I earned the right to wield this power. I've put a lot more time into this forum than many other members here, I confess I've become addicted to the study of human psychology and this is how I get my fix. I love this forum though, I truly do. I think it thrives best when people are able to discuss and debate ideas freely, without restriction and especially when ideas are in contrast and opposition; it makes for interesting conversation and is often enlightening (I know I've enjoyed this thread, I hope you have too).
We grow and push our boundries further when we are faced with oppositing forces, much like how muscles increase in strength when you lift ever increasing amounts of weight. I'm happy to welcome you to the boards with your views that differ from mine, because as I alluded to previously; I love to be proven wrong, I love to see the world from someone else's perspective, I just wish the saying were true and the grass WAS always greener on the other side, because far too often I see people with negative feelings and intent, sometimes not even directed at anywhere, 'cept at life in general and I learn a lesson much more surely when it comes from making a mistake than from succeeding.
I think you should take your own advice and not jump to conclusions about who I am and what my "type" is. I think you'll have a hard time lumping me in with many other people, I have been told by more people than I can count that I am weird, different, unusual, unexplainable, unique and not like anyone that they have ever met before in their lives. Part of that is my positive outlook and good intentions towards others, so I take offense when you insinuate that I treat women poorly, as well as as a feminist (that's right, fuckers, betcha didn't see that one coming!

). I told my buddy Psylight just last night as a matter of fact, that if someone wanted to find out who I am, then the best place they could start would be by reading everything I've ever written on here, as I've poured my heart and soul out, some of which was so profoundly personal to me, that I have it hidden away in an area of the forum that you have to pay for, known as
the PMZ, which has recently been reactivated for anyone interested in joining, or be granted free access by the mods recommendation, so that your casual viewer won't stumble across it (keep making great posts and perhaps I'll see what I can do to get you in down the road); so if you want to get a better idea of who I am and witness my true intents, then please feel free to read the several thousand posts, that I've made here, some other crazy bastards have and that was quite a shock to me, as well as quite flattering.
If you still think I spoke with anger, I think you should go back and re-read my posts in this thread again. I think I've been pretty level headed and analytical, not rash or angry *pats self on back*.
