You decide.

This was sent to me recently. I did not write it.

He is overly negative. Still there is truth in what he is saying. Marketing has made pickup too commercial. Of course none of the masters wanted to go up against him because they could be having a bad day and lose. That is a slim chance with extreme consequences. Better not risk it.

But to leave the community is a bit extreme too. As long as you arent making a profit by being a dating guru (or if you are you are not trying to steal worshippers like the others) you will be fine.

Just never worship someone just because he adds an m in front of his PUA...

bbardot: you just reminded me about porn

funny, I was reading some stuff on the postmodern vanguard site. (looks like your page belongs to it). Eventho it's mainly written in a negative tone he makes some good points.

100% honesty here, I came up with these conclusions about 3 or 4 years ago. Of course, I didn't know about pick-up then and I knew how people would react to the knowledge. I also saw the bull crap marketing pick up gurus use very quickly as I have a BS in Business Management and am studying to be lawyer. These things come much quicker to me and they always have.

What this guy says is pretty much 100% right.

If you want proof, go look at the lyrics to Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha. Read his articles and then read her lyrics. It will be come abundantly clear to you. It's also one of the most popular songs in the country today or at least in So Cal. The song is almost exclusively hating on men and talk about women's sexual power over them. My sisters love this song which honestly saddens me but is also more proof to what he is saying.

Nice to know there are others like me out there though.

my guess is if he was getting girls he would not have the time or effort to write stuff like this, he needs to get over himself

So let me get this straight. If you were getting girls, you would no longer have the time to think intelligently?

Or spend time on a hobby?

Or try to help other people?

Or time to do anything extracurricular?

Sounds to me like if you were getting girls, they'd be owning you since you would apparently not have the time to do much else.

Another way to put that is your the kind of guy who would be whipped without ever knowing it.

That also tells me you still need some work on your inner game. Inner game isn't all about having the balls to make stupid statements. It's about other things to.

Interesting this should come up as it's similar to my recent topic.

I'd say it's both. Obviously the community is a good thing if you use it correctly, but sometimes it can be easy to fall in too deep to the point where you're constantly thinking about your state, and looking at people like chess pieces on a battlefield.
