1	Why so much hate for r/seduction? This is my military bias again, but i still don't understand the offense of using "males" and "females". The military uses those terms exclusively in order to desexualize the genders, as well as to avoid regional conflicts (different regions will find "woman" and "lady" offensive, for example).	/r/seduction	01/08/12 09:02 PM
1	Why so much hate for r/seduction? There's a reason why I included the qualifier "probably." For one thing, we're all human and in my experience, it's impossible to get close to someone without hurting them someway or somehow. But this community is also mainly made up of a demographic more likely to be reckless with emotions: headstrong older male teens and younger male twentysomethings. And now that you bring it up, I agree: the dehumanization necessary to tell these stories with their community-proprietary language is jarring. …	/r/seduction	01/08/12 08:59 PM
2	Why so much hate for r/seduction? You know it.	/r/seduction	01/08/12 08:45 PM
3	Why so much hate for r/seduction? You're not wrong. And I'm familiar with technical terminology as well, having just earned my CCNA certification last week. But the original question was, "Why so much hate for seddit"? And my answer is that language alienates the common observer, conveying an ingroup/outgroup mentality, whether it is really there or not.	/r/seduction	01/08/12 06:55 PM
1	Why so much hate for r/seduction? I know what kinesthetics are. It still doesn't answer my question as to whether it's a necessary term. It's kind of like insisting on using the word "interrogative" instead of question. As far as I can tell, it still just serves as a way of off-putting newcomers and creating distance between pickup artists and non-pickup artists. Like a secret handshake/community signal. See my comment above.	/r/seduction	01/08/12 06:34 PM
7	Why so much hate for r/seduction? I'm well familiar with jargon (or NLP as your glossary defines it), having served in the military. Why say bulkhead, porthole, hatch, deck, trousers, blouse, and moonbeam when you can just say wall, window, door, floor, pants, shirt and flashlight? Why would you call running shoes "go-fasters"? In order to indoctrinate and separate. Language is a potent way of isolating an individual from the broader populace. Once somebody is steeped in a methodology of language, they begin to stand out.

6	Why so much hate for r/seduction? I would beg to differ. You are not accomplishing any social mission by "using Seddit." You are doing that by going out there and being yourself. The power... is yours!	/r/seduction	01/08/12 05:02 PM
23	Why so much hate for r/seduction? I've been a lurker on here, because like some others, I find the ideas interesting. I'm 29 and I've been around a bit, I have my own methods of approaching women, with some success I might add. I subscribe to this forum because I might learn something, or at least read a good story. However, there are a number of reasons why I can see that someone is off-put by this community. For one thing, the "glossary of terms" can be pretty weird to someone who is only looking on casually. Some of them are …	/r/seduction	01/08/12 02:01 PM
