I've been wasting too much time, reading through the posts on Love Shack, and I'm not sure how I feel about some of the posters on there.
Sometimes I feel bad for them when I read a post that reminds me of myself from when I was an AFC. When this happens, I'll usually feel really sorry for the guy. But for every post that is sad, there are another five posters who just seem to be jaded and insistent that consulting with the hen house on LS and acting AFC are the answers to their problem.
I guess I just don't get it. Why are there any doubts in any of their minds as to who is right and who is wrong? We're the ones getting laid, not the losers on that board.
I remember when I first came across all this DJ stuff. I was about 17 or 18. At first, I had a denial period that lasted for about a month as I sifted through the message board posts and the articles that were on the old web site. But I always kind of had a slight hunch in the back of my mind that maybe some of the new women advice I had come across was true. The reasoning was simple to me: The *******s in high school got the chicks, and I for the most part survived off their table scraps - there had to be some sort of a reason for this. It didn't take much time - maybe a month - for me to decide to convert to the lifestyle that this site promoted.
To me, this is a clear indication of how far masculinity has fallen in almost a decade. I remember being a junior in high school (in the year 2000) and telling some AFC-type guys I worked with about the new lifestyle I was going to adapt in dealing and interacting with girls. They understood the point of what I was trying to do - I used the *******s who we went to high school with as an example. They all saw the logic behind the lifestyle, but their response was more along the lines of "Well, it's impossible to change who you are."
Now, after reading through the posts on Love Shack, I have a bad feeling that the state of being an AFC has worsened greatly from what it was in the early part of this decade when I was one. The sentiment seems to have gone from "Well, I am what I am and can't change" to "there is no way that DJ, pick-up artist stuff works".
I've used a phrase to describe those LS posters and other AFC types. I used to say that those guys are so far in the forest that they can't see the trees. Now I fear they have wandered so deep into the forest that they can't be rescued anymore.
It's so damn saddening the way most guys carry themselves anymore. I spent a day with some friends yesterday on a college campus. It was an away game for our alma mater, which isn't a football powerhouse at all. We spent the day tailgating, watching our school lose badly at an away stadium and then experiencing the nightlife in a city that we had never been to before. At one of our final stops of the night, my friend was approached by a big gentleman who was clearly a defensive lineman for the team that just walloped our school. The guy could tell my friend went to our school and got two inches in front of my buddy's face to say something along the lines of "YOU'RE A DOOOOUCHE BAG!" because he was too dumb to come up with something more clever.
My friend's response? He ducked his head to the ground and walked away without saying anything.
I tapped the defensive tackle on the shoulder as he was walking away and I explained to him that he'd better hope his football career worked out because his crappy ass degree in general studies from his state university wasn't going to do much for him. He didn't even say anything in response, just gave me a cold stare. After about five seconds I just walked away from him.
My friends were astonished that I stood up to the guy, asking me if I was scared he was going to kick my ass. Honestly, the thought didn't even really process through my head. It was a simple situation that my instincts guided me through: Someone made an unnecessary rib toward me and my friends that clearly went over the bounds of banter between two football teams, and I responded accordingly.
Later that night, the same guy who the defensive tackle called out blew it with the ugliest chick at the bar and said that next time he'd "have to go uglier". Upon further pressing, my friend explained to me that he avoids hot girls altogether because essentially he thinks he isn't worthy of them. Among other things, he explained that he didn't have a good job and wasn't good looking enough and was in bad shape. He reasoned that this somehow made attractive girls off-limits to him. Also alarming was his confession that he still felt like he was in the stage where sex "feels awkward".
It blows my mind 24-,25-, 26-year-old guys could be so clueless to things as basic as self-respect, sexual relations and confidence. Ultimately, they don't know how to act like men. This seems like the acceptable norm anymore for guys, on the Internet and in real life.
In summation, I hate feminism and the general state of our society.
