Lolwut? Pook never said "be a jerk". If you actually read Pook's stuff, he talks about the pitfalls of a nice guy and a jerk, and refers to a 'Great Guy' who has the positive qualities of both the jerk (confidence, dominance) and the nice guy (kindness, sensitivity).floydb25 said:Maybe not his logic, but his reasoning and manner in which he says it. This is how generalizations start, and why people go to opposite extremes. "Oh, being nice doesn't work... It's jerk time." - when it has nothing to do with being nice or mean.
He's also making the women look like the enemy. "It's just the way they are; they like jerks and use nice guys".
Also OP... Dawkins, pseudointellectual psychoanalysis and Michelle Obama aside (getting WAAAAY off topic), my original point still stands. You asked how a woman's reaction to this site would affect our outlook etc and I'm saying it wouldn't affect mine because I don't care about a woman's opinion on sosuave. I wouldn't let a woman's reaction change my outlook or who I am. If someone can change so easily on a whim of a woman, they have no backbone or conviction and therefore can't be taken seriously at all.
The likely reaction of a woman to this website is negative (I'm assuming you speculate the same thing here which is why you created the thread). Sure, if you framed sosuave as "dating advice" and "a website which helps men understand women" it might not get such a bad reaction from ladies. But a lot of what's written here can seem controversial and have a feminist marching down the street with burning bras on a stick. Funny because a woman would fall for a guy who applied DJ principles... yet she would be appalled when she reads such things on a website. This is why I would find it hard to take the opinion of a woman seriously, because I know she says one thing, and does another.
A classic example is that a woman might give you the impression that doing whatever she wants will make her attracted to you...yet if you follow this advice, there will be no attraction.
And yes, I am tempted to completely discredit you as you have joined sosuave and are posting nonsensical $hit that shows a clear lack of knowledge of the main principles of this website. If you had properly read the DJ Bible and other material on here, you would not even create this thread, which is basically saying "Hey guys, a woman's opinion is so important and bigger than my own integrity that it might change my outlook, amirite??". And now you look like a fool trying to defend that stance which goes against everything this website stands for.
Sure, I gave Pook as an example, but you're disagreeing with many other respected members' opinions here like Rollo Tomassi and others. And of course, you're free to disagree with these people but bear in mind you run the risk of not being taken seriously if you can't back your opinion up with some sort of authority, experience or knowledge on the subject.
You saying "Calm down" is a bit strange because you assume I am actually taking you seriously enough to be butthurt by what you have to say. I find you (and this thread which reeks of AFC nice guy
sentiment) a complete joke.
And funnily enough, there is no deep-seated psychological reason behind my opinions (stop watching so many drama TV shows LOL). You pretending to be some sort of Dr. Phil guy is ridiculous and does not suit you.
