Group think = Common experience

Group think is not the same as common experience.
Quote:
To put it bluntly, this forum has two groups: Group A which gets laid on the regular and Group B which does not.
Group A members may sometimes disagree and yet they will agree on a lot of things. Group B members think and act (or do not act) a certain way which essentially does not get them laid.
You're getting a diagnosis that most of the regulars here agree upon. This is to help you auto-correct. It's a bitter pill to swallow but you gotta take some bad medicine along the way like working out, eating veggies and approaching and opening hundreds of women.
Four people, one of whom was espousing even more effort prior to "oneitis" being brought up, is "most of the regulars here?"
For that matter, what was this "medicine" for? I'd already given up on the girl; when Dragula offered that "medicine" it came with no advice whatsoever and then it touched off an argument longer than the actual discussion about the girl.
Some things are toxic without being helpful, and this kind of groupthink is coming off as more of an attempt to stroke your egos than to be helpful. What do you get out of saying I had oneitis? Because I know I got nothing out of it other than reviewing some of my old threads.
It's been a waste of all of our time, especially when JackZero had given me great advice before it ever came up!
Dragula initial post was that you had oneitis AND to move on. You somehow act like the guy just came and shitted on you and didnt tell you to move on. That's the advice. I wish there was some play to tell you with this girl, but I don't see one. As to group think, I have multiple threads where I disagree with Dragula, Jack, Charles and I say my counter opinion. And I've seen them disagree all the time.
As to stroking our egos, you're wrong again on that front. The guys who want to stroke their egos are those "player master PUA's" who will be the ones telling you some complicated play to make. They'd be telling you "do this bro, then this and then this....it got my a few HB 10's sucking my dick afterwards." There is no accomplishment on my part or theirs to tell you to move on. It actually says we don't have a play for you. It makes us look like we dont have a solution to getting this girl. You act like telling you to move on makes us look like pimps lol. AND Dragula even divulged that he has a one itis now, so who in the fuck is stroking their egos here?!
And the craziest part is, you act like anyone reading that you went to a bar 3 times and made 2 threads on one girl, if they think oneitis/obsession, they must be group thinking. I don't know the bar is 5 minutes from your house. I don't know you do this with every girl. I dont know you learn better from focusing on a task and all that shit. Nor would anyone reading it. This is one of those times when you be a man and say yeah it does sound pretty obsessive to spend 4-5 hours to get a girls number. We're supposed to read that and think it's not crazy? At a certain pt you just gotta say, these guys think its oneitis because it sounds like a oneitis. Thats like showing up to a murder scene with blood on you and then when you're accused of the murder you're like, nah thats group think! You may not have onetis, but you definetely showed alot of the symptoms of one.
At the end of the day, if as you say you do this alot ie pussyfoot around asking a girl for her number, then STOP. If this doesnt teach, or your past times doing this hasn't taught you to go for it the first time and you're fine with wasting 4-5 hours like that then thats fine. One itis or not, you should learn NOT to waste your time like that. And excusing it with well its not one itis, or it was only a few hours, or the bar was close to my house is not gonna help you not make the same mistakes again. You wasted time. And maybe time isnt that valuable to you. Maybe the drinks were worth it. But I know for me, I wont want to spend more than 10 minutes getting a chicks number, nor spend a dime to do so. And if I caught myself doing that, i'd say it was a oneitis.
