Wow. Very well-stated bro! It amazes me as well how often the masses seem to refuse to think for themselves. Then again, when you sit and think about it, it's easier to have others (media, preacher, government, etc.) lay out what you should think, feel, and value versus doing the hard work and...

I agree. Attraction isn't a choice. I definitely do not chase women. The whole Hollywood-driven idea of a man in hot pursuit rarely works. I ask them out once, and if they seem wishy washy or uninterested, I move on. No big deal. I just always wondered why it is somewhat rare that I get the...

I have no problem attracting women...just not the ones that I find desirable. I get told how attractive I am from 6's and 7's, but I get very lukewarm responses from 8's and above. Not that I am looking for a supermodel or anything. Just a woman that is physically appealing to me. Anyone else...

I am an extrovert and I have been told that I come across as trying too hard on more than one occasion. It is something that I am aware of now and I make an attempt to tone my energy level down and vibe more with people. I don't know if I "need the attention" as much as I am just a social guy...

Curious question: What do you mean exactly by "dating up" as a man (#25)? I have read that people usually date those who have comparable looks to their own, but as we know, women are attracted to other things than solely looks, unlike men. So, do you mean dating up in the physical sense, or...

I feel that the principles in that book are truly timeless, and that they work even more now than back when the book was originally published. Today, we are FAR less interpersonal than we were in the 1930's, due to technology. Outside of talking on a phone, most people had to meet face-to-face...

You definitely have to be careful with the advice you read on here; I cringe when I read some of the sexist posts some guys create. You should keep in mind that many guys have been severely hurt by women, and they see them as nothing more than sex objects, hence the player mentality. Some people...

Do you guys think that this classic book would help with dating? Personally, I believe that it would definitely open a lot of legs if applied properly.....

Completely agree bro! I think that is one of the ways that the PUA community has deluded many men, having us believe that there is some formula for attracting women. Improving your dating life is relatively simple: work on your self-confidence, develop a sense of style, focus on other things...

Very true. The only way a male breaks the "men pursue, women choose" dynamic is by having VERY high value (i.e. celebrity, wealth, status, uncommonly good looks). That is why I have become somewhat jaded with the bar/nightclub scene. Personally, I think nightclubs as a SNL venue is largely...

I have heard this before as well. But I don't think there are that many SINGLE girls out at night, at least not as many as men tend to think. From my experience, women of all relationship status' go out to clubs; you really can't distinguish between a single chick and a married one just by...

I think it depends on what you want/expect. If you want a girl with traditional values, any mid-sized city below the Mason-Dixon line is sure to have an abundance of those types. Down South, people here are VERY cliquish (or perhaps that's everywhere). It is not as easy to pick girls up in bars...

I agree with you 100%. Building a great social circle definitely takes a great deal of time and effort, but it is worth it, especially when you consider how cliquish many people are. When I was in my mid-twenties I discovered the "community" like so many others on this site. But after a...

I agree. Guys who go to the so-called "target-rich" environments are there for the quick lay. What guys don't realize is that most women who're out in nightclubs dressed oh so provocatively actually have boyfriends/husbands at home. Like you said, if you want the "pump and dump" bars and...

It doesn't need to be this dichotomy of cold approach versus social circle. You can do both. Further, I'm not talking about dating women in your social circle. I'm talking about meeting women in more inviting environments. Has nothing to do with dating someone in your social circle.
