I see this is a subforum about "routines".

I'm no doctor, or psychologist, or "PUA", but...I'd like to say I know enough to say that the whole "subject" of routines is, IMO, unnecessary.

I read these routines, and I think "...someone's gonna use these and fuck themselves over".

When I grew up, I was always told by those older than I to be myself. I never knew what that meant until a few years ago, when I made an important distinction.

"Who has the power, makes the rules".

I thought that meant all the rich, powerful (white. xD) people with power made all the rules we live by.

Then, I studied history (And read 48 Laws of Power), and learned of the likes of Haile Selassie, Zhuge Liang, Pancho Villa, and other figures of history who have done pretty impressive stuff.

I then learned power isn't something physical. You are your own generator of power. You ARE power. I look at Jesus, Gandhi, and even Hitler...all it took was one person.

One person to have started a religion most of us hold dear to today.
One person to unite India and kick out the British.
One person to unite Germany and commit the Holocaust

...why can't we demonstrate power?

Then, after a bit more experience, it's not only power that makes the rules. Some things, we cant change, but, I soon learned, and tied in, other sayings:

"Act as if"
"If you think you can't, or you think you can, you're right."
"Whomever dares, wins"

..."Who has the power, makes the rules".

All of those quotes allude to...no, I can't say it, but...

Let's put it this way: If you think you deserve to be a king, you WILL become a king. BUT, you need to behave like a king, and to do that, you need to know WHAT is...King, and once you find out what IS King, you must acknowledge and accept that what is King...is King, and that's that. King is King. Wanna Be king?...Be King. (Notice I left out the "A", as in "Be A king"...I'll leave it up to you to figure that one out. If I told you, you would not understand. YOU have to understand).

Now, what about routines?

Person A uses Routine A. He gets pussy.
Person B uses Routine B. He gets pussy too.
Person C...does not HAVE a Routine C. He uses Routine A, and "fails" all the time. Girls excuse themselves, "go to the bathroom", "go to see their friends", or, sometimes, just flat run away.

Then Person C uses routine B. Same result. "Um, I'll be right back". Yeah, oookay.

Person C becomes depresses and suicidical. Person A uses Routine A, and Person B uses Routine B, and OCCASIONALLY they fail, but MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, a hookup, or even a night of fuckin.

Why? I won't tell you.
You need to see the bigger picture.

HINT: Re-read the bit about King. Wanna be King? Then act like King. Want to NOT be King? Don't be King.

Don't think about it too much. Just practice, expose yourself, and add two and two.

Final verdict? Do routines work?

If YOUR routine works...use YOUR routine. If OTHER routines work for YOU, then use those other routines that work for YOU.

If other routines do NOT work for YOU, DON'T FUCKING USE THEM! lol. It's not YOU!

...get it?

Thank you.

EDIT: BUT, I guess, there is one good out of this subforum. Sharing routines shows bits of individual personality, so I guess it's a good way to learn about someone, but THAT'S IT. Otherwise, I do me, and you should do you.

since nobody else cares to post, i will.

Um...what?
