I don't even know who wrote them - but generally they are good bits of information. Also - I believe the author was intending some of this to be sarcastic such as:

You might want to do the same with your apartment... I mean your moms basement - try vacuuming once in a while and find out where that disgusting smell comes from.
I will pick up on one point you make tho, just because its really large and caught my attention
Quote:
NO. JUST NO. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE THE BASEMENT DWELLING PIZZA FREAK WHO "THINKS" HE'S A ROCKSTAR! BEING THE FURNITURE SALESMAN WHO KNOWS HE'S A FURNITURE SALESMAN IS BETTER THAN THIS FUCKING MORON!
The way I look at this is you need to be confident with things you are good at. It isn't any good be a "good" XYZ - be the BEST XYZ.
I think a lot of it is HOW you pull it off as well - if you act like your a rockstar you have to be able to pull it off. This is where many of the "inner game wins" topics fall short in the same sense of the chicken and the egg scenario. Which came first - the outer game or the inner game? The point I am making is - I don't walk down the road acting or thinking I could take any guy who passes me in the street in a fight as I know that I can't, I do however walk down the street knowing I look damn good and can adapt to nearly any social situation with ease and influence people. I guess the point should have been clarified to state "be confident in your strengths".
The problem here is that we are not discussing be confident in your strengths, instead we're talking about "be confident".
If you're the un-employed pizza freak from Moms basement then you have nothing to be proud of, (unless you're the un-employed pizza freak who gets laid now and again). Acceptance is key, if you want people to improve they have to accept their life and see it for what it is. Don't convince these guys that they are Rockstars
How many rockstars think "Man I need to get a job and turn my sorry ass life around"?
That's exactly what basement dwelling pizza freak should be thinking if basement dwelling pizza freak wants to turn his basement dwelling pizza eating life around!

Post 2: Looks don't matter in the same way money doesn't matter. For the majority, these will not be an issue because the majority of people are in a situation where these factors are not limiting.
Most guys who apply decent grooming and personal hygiene along with a nice outfit will be OK looking - I am not saying they will be hot, but they won't be so hideously unattractive you cannot bare to look at them. Obviously, their are exceptions and some people are unfortunate and are deformed in a server way but still this only limits the potential of partners. Some women will still be sexually interested in you - the key point is the sum of all your qualities must be above the minimum level for a woman to find you attractive without any individual quality being so low it is a instant no.
Don't get me wrong this ^^ is alot more honest, but you're kidding yourself if you think you wont get laid based on being "just a pretty face"

POST 3-6: No fin, no examples as this ISN'T A DETAILED TOPIC - its the basics

Leadership: Decide on a meet up for her. "First we are going to X and do YZ becuase you'll love F and then we can chill and have a lovely afternoon sitting in G doing L, sound good?"
Little touches to these guides that get the ball rolling are always appreciated, you and I may know what we are talking about when we say "lead people" but.. how long have we both been doing this?

POST 8 - again, not a detailed topic. I think it is pretty easy for anyone who doesn't study psychology (and is therefore unable to simply make rough judgements on social situations) to outline what an alpha male is (the high-school jock - CEO of your company etc). Now obvious the setting of the alpha male will change due to situation but lets just go WITH THE BASICS for the point of this post. Again, just from life experience guys with attractive women with them tend to be better with women - maybe its just because they hang around with them lots so know how to act through practise, the point is - you know this is true but you are just being awkward
Honestly, I don't know its the truth, I see way to many examples to the contrary and far to few in favour.
There seems to be no criteria for your -or PUs- definition of "alpha male" outside of "guys who RAWK!"
Sometimes its the social behaviour of XYZ, then its the position and traits of ABC. I honestly think that we're making up this alpha male hero as we go along and its not really doing us many favours.

POST 10-11: It isn't a pre-requisite but it helps. People who don't do anything generally aren't very interesting - they don't have interesting stories to tell etc. As for Psychopaths - having lots of short term things they have done leads to a lot of stories to tell and interesting life experiences, very useful for attracting short term partners but no so great when things get a deeper. However, I am not a psychology major and therefore don't know enough about psychopaths to comment further.
Largely their ability to be charming and intense eye contact along with abandonment of normal social procedures and anxieties (wait to be introduced, don't make a pass so early on in the night etc) tends to allow them to do well.
As a general rule their background is rarely a colorful one of mixed experiences as you might think.

POST 12: Maybe not - its a hypothesis that fits rather well. It can't be proved otherwise and in most cases holds true to what we are able to perceive. It is like looking at acceleration equations in physics - at 17 you probably would ignore things like air resistance as it overcomplicated the problem and just using the simple equations make it easy to understand and generally usable unless you are doing something really precise. The difference is, in the social world things don't need to be really precise - you can tell a bad joke and brush it off or laugh at an inappropriate time, with rocket science you make a bad calculation and poor old Neil Armstrong is stuck on a never ending cruise to nowhere
Alot of stuff fits with what we percieve, racists perceive "thieving niggers" and guys on this forum are able to percieve "stupid sluts" on a daily basis. Perception is miles away from objectivity, do you know the amount of processing and configuring information from your senses goes through before it enters your brain?
I'm just thinking there is a better explanation out their than.
"Oh noes they R going to Tests our seductionz"
I don't even remotly understand why a girl enamoured and trying to get a guy would do something so stupid to jepardize her chances with him, most girls once when they like you are pretty much butter in your hands.
