I appreciate that. Right now I'be discovered my issues are more serious than I was aware, so I'm not posting much because I'm trying to avoid being negative. Unfortunately it might be a while before I can start working on game proper.

Right, but while you're going through the middle bits there's this impression that the only way to be successful with women is to be a robot.

I find advice like this to be much more helpful than anything I read in The Game. Though knowing and doing are two different things...

Yeah, that's what it's like. I know logically that it will take time, and I will get better with practice, and I'm doing my best to fight my inner negativity.

I've got the opposite problem right now. I feel like I've put off being more social for so long that I have to hurry my ass up and become a master at it as soon as possible if I ever want to get laid. I could go on, but no one wants to deal with my shit, so here's the upshot: Don't be me. Get on the right track before you start to feel it's too late and a bullet seems easier.

Part of my brain is still trying to warn me that this is a bad idea, but I've decided to ignore it. PM me. Edit: What I meant to say was Challenge Accepted

f you really think about that for a second, it actually sounds more like pua are being manipulated by women, not the other way around. Pua just do what women want, and are rewarded for that. There is actually some merit to this argument.

I have experimented, and all my experiments have failed. I've been high on my own achievements before and it always ended the same way: having my spirit crushed. Maybe it is possible, but my experience has taught me that I can't trust that feeling.

No. I read a lot of seduction crap at one point in my life and it was very damaging to my mental state. I'm not going to be doing that again. Maybe I read too much stuff from the "less reputable" people, but from what I've seen here there's still plenty of those kinds of people in seddit.

Because I wanted to use an example of something that required work to get good at. Either way, the same principle applies to games. I just want to play and have fun, I don't feel the need to know that I'm in the top 500 million players or whatever. Hell, I don't even play TF2 anymore for a variety of reasons, so I don't play any competitive games currently.

Well, what I've been trying to say is that when you sound like a salesman, my brain is going to treat you like one. Do you trust a used car salesman? I don't. You'd be crazy to trust them. Salesmen are trying to sell something and they're willing to lie and cheat to do it, so when you sound like a salesman people are going to have a negative reaction. And honestly, you people do lie to sell your 'product'. Your community has a lot of douchebags and often seems to advocate outright sociopathy. I …

In the US medication and healthcare costs are hyperinflated. Insurance isn't strictly necessary unless you don't mind paying hundreds of dollars for a half hour of a doctor's time, hundreds a month for medication, and thousands for procedures of any kind. I've gone without insurance before and it's not a viable option here.

I've been dealing with suicidal thoughts for a decade now. There is very little chance I'll actually act on them. I've considered professional help, but unfortunately I live in the US where healthcare is tied to your job. My job is technically temporary and so I expect to be looking for work again soon. I don't want to become dependent on another medication or therapy that I'll need to buy without health insurance.

On a global scale, I have a very privileged upbringing. I've never known hunger (except when I've starved myself intentionally), never wanted for shelter, I work a cushy desk job, have access to the internet, and can afford to live alone, etc. People literally kill to be in my position, yet here I am all depressed and angry and contemplating suicide all the time like some spoiled little fucker. People call me on it occasionally, and I can't even say they're wrong, because they aren't. I know, py…

Life isn't fun. My disease is a poor excuse. In the grand scheme of things I'm better off than most, not that it makes me feel any better, just more guilty about feeling bad.

I can't stand the vast majority of anime, so I don't think I'd fit in at one of those. I'd just be the creepy guy hitting on all the women who are already being hit on by creepy guys. I'm not sure what a hot topic is. Some kind of clothing store?

Stomach. I don't have the username for nothing. Anxiety is a symptom of hypothyroidism that isn't treated by t4 supplement. I've worked to make it a lot less crippling than it used to be, but I have a very stubborn brain. I'm in Madison, WI.

I taught myself to cook, and it was work, and I enjoy it any way. I just don't see why I have to try and be an Iron Chef to enjoy cooking. That was my father's warped mentality: Have to try and be the absolute best at everything you do. It's probably part of the reason I'm so fucked up. It was easier to just not do things, or quit doing things, than to have my father constantly pushing me to be better and being disappointed when I wasn't, or when I got bored. It wasn't like he was ever going to …

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not being sarcastic, and that you haven't done so much post stalking that you know how much I hate fake internet affection. Since I have 8 minutes to wait for reddit to let me post this, I did a little post stalking and you seem genuine. I could really use a hug (from a real person mind you). I can't even recall the last time I had one.

An actual experience of this being the case. There have been moments where I've basked in the glow of my own greatness after working hard and achieving something difficult, but that feeling is always destroyed as soon as I try and turn it toward socialization. I was going to tell a story about what happened the last time I felt that way, and how it was crushed. But even though I can remember how I got to feel that way, I can't for the life of me remember what brought me down again. If I had to g…

Years ago I did read a lot of the various seduction stuff out there, I came away from it with a very warped sense of reality that I'm still trying to recover from. That's why I can't trust anything you guys say. Or it could be I'm wrong and what I read about treating women like objects to be manipulated, never as rational human beings, and where socialization is viewed as a game to be won and lost against opponents is actually right. In which case I'm pretty sure I don't want to live in this wor…

It's the vibe you give off, the impression I get from the way you speak. I make no apology for it. I wish I could stop feeling bad, unfortunately I wasn't build with the dip switch that lets me just turn it all off. Oxycodone really helps, but 'drug addict' just doesn't seem like the direction I want to go.

"I would rather believe I'm better than I really am than not, this is my choice." Then you'll forgive me if I choose to think of you as a douche with an overinflated sense of self-worth. That's what I'm unwilling to become.

"Lair", "hottie", "text-game", "brah". I'm fairly certain you're the kind of person who makes me hate seduction communities. I can easily imagine you wearing a frat jacket and doing a keg stand after paying an asian kid to do your midterm.

Because he's right. I am a miserable person. There's no point in denying it or deluding myself otherwise. I'm bitter and angry and I take it out on others a lot of the time. He called it like it is instead of lying to me and trying to give me some courage wolf bullshit, and I appreciate that.

If I'm still like this much longer I won't make it to 65. My point was, though, that when you say "I know what you're going through", you really, really don't and it makes it easy to dismiss everything you're saying.
/r/seduction11/01/12 11:09 PM

That's going to be a very hard sell. Beware any man who says he wants to give you something for free. I know that seems like it contradicts what I'm saying elsewhere, but that's sort of my point. When you sound like an advertisement, my brain is immediately suspicious of you and your intentions.
/r/seduction11/01/12 10:46 PM

My point is that when you trip a little alarm in my brain that says "SOMEONE IS TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING", processes kick in to prevent me from feeling positive about anything you're saying. I can't imagine that I'm the only one who has this defense mechanism. So what I'm saying is that maybe you should try to sell your message differently.

Finally someone is will to call me out on my shit. Christ, so many people try to tell me I'm a nice guy, it's refreshing to see someone tell it like it is. However, you're wrong. I'm not FA because I'm miserable, the FA preceded the misery by many years.

I own a food processor, I got it at a thrift store. I use it for processing food, like making peanut butter or pureeing things. I use the knife for chopping because it works, is easier to clean, and I have much better control.

The point is that almost all the advice I've seen from seduction communities is along these lines. Manipulate someone into doing what you want, like a sociopath.

Which really doesn't help people like you. You can't expect people to like you if you show no interest into what they are in. But I'm really not actually interested. Should I just lie and pretend that I am? Should I force them to be interested?

There was a thread earlier today in FA (which was deleted), that I can only assume came from a sedditor or someone versed in seduction BS. It's been deleted I believe, but he had a tip to get out of the friend zone: "Tell her that you're glad you're just friends". It doesn't sound so bad in itself, but his reasoning was that this plays on her insecurities, makes her wonder what is so wrong with her that even you, whom she supposedly looks down on, would reject her. He claimed a 5/5 success rate …

I've never been afraid of dropping ranks in a video game, I just don't like losing. It isn't very fun, and fun is the point of games for me. Like I said, I'm unconvinced that confidence translates to other skills.

You could just be here in the hopes of stroking your own ego, by having people thank you for 'helping' them. I just don't trust people who have an attitude of "I'm happy because my life is great, fuck everybody else!", which is the vibe I get from you. In short: I don't like douchebags, and I think you're one.
/r/seduction11/01/12 07:34 PM

It always ends this way for me. I gauge their interest and it is none. I've accepted that people just aren't interested in the same things I am. I find it equally hard to have anything but apathy towards their interests.

No, I have my own reasons for unhappiness. I wanted to see how you reacted to the question. As I said, if you had answered differently I wouldn't have been lead to believe you're a selfish douche. You didn't express any concern for the rest of the world or it's problems, only your self and your own life. So tell me, how am I supposed to take your advice when I can't believe that you have any interest in ever helping anybody?
/r/seduction11/01/12 07:23 PM

You have a gift for understatement. The point I'm trying to make is that confidence doesn't translate between skills. I'm very confident about the things I do well, and not about the things I don't do well. This is called "having a realistic view of yourself", something that doesn't seem to exist in any seduction community I've ever seen.
/r/seduction11/01/12 07:21 PM

I have hobbies. Experience has taught me that no one is interested in them, so I don't talk about them.

I'd never buy a slap chop because I have a knife and I know how to use it. I'd like to find a solution too, but so far I can't take anything I see in seduction communities at face value. In part this is because you all sound like salesmen and douchebags and in part because I a lot of the advice I see is the kind of thing a controlling douchebag would do.

I've played games like TF2, but I'm not big into games that are competitive because it feels like if I don't spend 20 hours a day training and several thousand dollars on hardware I'll never be as good at it as the 13 year old mouthing off to me. Unless you're trying to tell me that it's a good way to spend my time, in which case I'm going to have to call you full of shit.

Believe it or not, I didn't really have any friends until I started attending a local LAN party back when I was 14. It's statements like this that make statements like "I used to be FA" very difficult to take seriously.

Somehow even while explaining why you sound like a salesman you still manage to sound like a salesman. Or more accurately a politician. It makes it very hard not to have a negative reaction to what you're saying.
