I've been reading Kiyosaki lately (with his books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, etc). Anyway, Kiyosaki's books are about building businesses, becoming rich, and so on.
Kiyosaki never gives specific techniques, in fact, even seems to discourage them. Rather, he says "mindset is all". Later, he says that we should invest our time rather than spend our time. We should keep looking at improving our financial intelligence slowly over time, aiming for evolution of ourselves rather than a quick 'revolution'. He says to focus on the dream and not on reality.
I must admit, it is like reading myself. I talk to others about this work and, in fact, post in theme related forums on the topic.
I thought I was better educating myself about financial knowledge. But I find that I have actually been ruining myself and the forums are accomplices in my ruination because Don Rommy says,
But what is the purpose of writing and reading? Every now and then, as common as it is seen almost weekly, appears a tip from a freshly registered member that says,
"H3LLO GENT5LMEN! U NEED CONF7IDENCE TO GET DA WOAHMAN!"
Immediately, I pick up the Pook phone and call Allen's top secret number. "Allen! Did you read that tip? It is about confidence! Who would have thought!?"
Allen puts forth the emergency meeting. All the elder Don Juans meet in the super secret forum (that no one knows!) as we react to this discovery.
"Getting women has something to do with CONFIDENCE? Why, who would have thought!?" says one.
"Not I!" said an elder Don Juan. "Confidence is needed to get women? Incredible tip!"
"The tip will alter people's lives," one solemny declared. "Until that newbie poster spoke, no one knew about confidence!"
We see it all the time: posts that seem basic, redundant, even talking about nothing, i.e. mental masturbation.
But writing is double edged. Where one side uses it merely to communicate, the other side provides clarity of the mind. Frederick Douglass, an orator, was amazed at how writing letters and even articles, this seeming mental masturbation, exacted his mind. Now, he could no longer run from his thoughts. By writing it down, his thoughts were formed and cemented. Sometimes by writing he discovered something new that wouldn't have been possible if his thoughts were not cemented in a text.
The newbie who bursts, "You got to be confident!" is absolutely meaningless to us, as such knowledge is very common, but the newbie is vastly improving himself by writing it down and putting it out there. To the newbie, his world is changing and his writings are reactions to it.
Most discussions on the forum are fueled by inner realization. There is talk about outside things ("oh no, she rejected me! what do I do now!?") but it all revolves around people's inner cores which are continually growing and evolving.
Nice Guys do not need more experience. They need to realize who they are.
Kiyosaki warns with real estate, "Experience is very good. But you can go out there, invest in real estate, and easily lose your shirt. If the person invested more time in himself, he would avoid such an unfortunate problem."
Too many people go through life, so certain that they are on the right path, and end up exactly like their parents. No one seems to stop for a moment, to pause, to consider what they want from life and how to get it.
What I hear most from the forum is, "I came here only to find out how to score more chicks. Yet, now I am re-examining my entire life!" Such people grow. Before, they were focused on the quantity they could get out of life. Now, they are raising its quality.
Does this mean we should sit here and spend our lives talking about women? No. But it does show that exacting and sharing our thoughts will not make us poorer for it. No person, in self analysis, will let himself become an isolated 'keyboard jockey'. And if this forum does anything, it certainly makes one undergo 'self analysis'.
You will be forever enslaved to women by doing this. You will be all reaction, rather than action.
Most guys fail with women because they keep searching for green lights. They go nowhere.
Other guys become enslaved to women by pinpointing green lights and accelerating whenever they see one. (this is where most seducers are)
But the real success comes when you are able to accelerate at the RED light, where everyone thinks you are nuts at accelerating. It is real success because then the world revolves around YOU, around YOUR desires rather than hers, the focus stays on you and not the woman or her 'social expectations'. To heck with what she expects, to heck with your 'social intelligence' and women's 'subconscious signals'! It is time we focus on what WE want. Real men TAKE the women they want; they never look for initial signals.
And do you know the real secret as to why? It is because beautiful women of 'good' quality do not give signals or green lights. The chumps sit there, waiting, expecting, looking for some 'sign', but the Don Juan sees what he wants and goes for it regardless.
Anti-Dump said, "It is easy to find out if a woman likes you. You ask for number and get YES. You ask for date and get YES. You keep getting YESes to YOUR date ideas."
This is why there is a forum to share such ideas. You mistake that time on the forum is REMOVING people from experience, where, in fact, such time will make their experience all the more richer.
The real world is in your MIND, not outside. Unite dream and day and the entire world becomes what you want it to be.

Oh, we are undone! The forum, that was our salvation, is now destroying us!

This is because you registered at June 2003. If you had registered at June 2000 or before, you would find that the discussions and yes, even the 'theories', do evolve into the great 'new' posts. I can speak only for myself: it would have been impossible for me to write the 'Kill that Desperation' post without reading and discussing countless (and witnessing in real life) people who try to find success in artificial techniques. Even 'The Secret of the Jerk' would not have been able to been written if we hadn't discussed the 'jerk syndrome', biology, and so on to infinity.

This is the 'green light syndrome'. The idea is that we must look for 'green lights' from the women, and put on the acclerator when the lights turn green else the cars behind us will honk and pass us.
