I've been in this community for just about 3 years now, and I've known and spoken to many people who have given advice on this forum, and probably a handful of them are the people who you have read. I like the idea of what the communtiy does BUT....

From my experiences on this forum, I can say Kasabi's generalisation is for the most part embarrasingly accurate.

Kasabi... brotha, fam, homie... I'm curious to know who you think has this PU down. Say I'm a new born in PU, I don't know anything. Who would you point to to help me with woman?

And don't ignore this man lol

My favorite quote is Kasabi being told not to keep looking down on people, while trying to teach people not to look down on other people.

Kasabi is a sharp cat, he is illustrating a point and your emotions are so riled up you are missing it. Stop attaching so much emotion to everything.

SO GREAT!

The fact about all this is he is right, but you hate he is right because he's teaching you a lesson in a negative manner. Believe it or not the way to learn easiest is always from a negative experience, rewards have their place but a negative experience causing fear is how we all learn long term.

We learned not to do things because of a negative experience. Example: You likely burnt yourself as a kid learning what hot means.

We learned not to say things. Example: You learned not to curse in certain environments from a negative punishment.

Reward vs. Negative Experience Example: You don't remember the answer in class as a kid because you get the candy, you remember the answer to avoid public humility, so you can hold "social proof".

This is what a lot of people don't understand about his tactics, they piss you off but they are meant to piss you off. I seen a post where he was a huge asshole to illustrate the point that asshole isn't Alpha.

He's a very smart guy. While some of his thoughts may not be in agreement with you, why should it make any difference? It's not as if he is providing bad information. You don't like his tone? Well now that is a woman's statement.

Regardless of whether this community is filled with high-functioning geniuses or filled with clueless lepers, one fact is always true: There is always a lot to be learned from conversing, studying, and reading what other people have to say. Everywhere in life, not just here. The good, the bad, whatever. I've learned a lot on these forums. A lot about others, a lot about myself. I've read some good things that I feel could help me pick up women. And I've read some ridiculous things that have made me facepalm with extreme prejudice.

One truth is constant though: I always learn when I read here (or elsewhere). Sometimes you learn what to do, other times it's what not to do, sometimes you see the good side of things, sometimes the bad.

I don't see a place like this as being filled with "good" or "bad" information. I just see it as being filled with "information". It's up to the reader to translate what is good and what is bad. But one thing is a fact: Whatever a person types here, he or she knows it to be their own personal truth. Even the most ludicrous of posts give insight into the minds and actions of others, and in that, there is always something to be learned.

Even people heavily critical of this place, it's posters, or the pickup community at large would NOT be here reading and writing if they didn't benefit from it in some way.
