Finding this board's quality is going down

[Kal0051]

Wow, been noticing a real trend here. Seems lately there's a huge amount of over analyzing on this board. Stuff like "does looks matter" and evolutionary reasons why women do things (not to mention that post about Tony Stark, really, a fictional character). I know I can't be the only one that thinks this. Not that I take this board all that serious, for the last little bit I've read stuff here for ****s and giggles, and am learning through my own personal experience.

I don't know if all this overanalyzing is neccessary. In fact it's probably more hurtful than helpful. Hell, I used to overanalyze and I think that did tons of damage. Since I've stopped that I've learned a great deal about women on my own. In the last couple months I've gone out with at least a dozen women, made out with all of them, but no lays. And that only started happening when I stopped analyzing everything and started doing what I wanted. I still have tons to and learn, like losing my virginity and learning to get women I want (so far I fail with the women I want and can only keep the ones that I don't really want). I'm confident with time that will happen, although I have more important things to worry about right now.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Like always the only good section on this forum is the H&F. Most post nowadays isn't worth reading. All cred to the legends though.

yeah, I don't read most of the posts these days. I used to read them because at least they were entertaining, but I don't find many of those anymore.

Everyone thinks the 'forum is going downhill." Its always been that way, and you just realize it now. The forum is the same as its ever been, you just understand a little more now.

I'm not the DJ Board Defender or anything, but I'd say that you can't go on ANY internet message board without someone talking about how "This message board has gone downhill in quality, and used to be better back in (x year)."

I'm 28, and I first started visiting this board when I was 19 or 20. And back then you had the same stupid questions you get now. And you had a few good people dishing out really good advice. But generally, people are asking the same questions they were asking years ago. There were no "good old days".

If you want to contribute and make others' lives better, then help these guys out. But coming on here to mock them for asking stupid questions (yes, some are VERY stupid), contributes nothing to the board and makes it worse.

Lol, love to give some advice iceberg but don't think I'm the one that should be doing it, I'm still a virgin after all. All I know is that over thinking this **** is harmful to any progress you want to make. Get out there and go for what you want is the best advice I have. After a while you begin to understand women a bit more and can make better decisions about them.

There's already a post just like yours that got moved to tips by a mod.

and evolutionary reasons why women do things

This is nothing new and anyone who thinks it is hasn't been paying attention. Half of The book of Pook is just evolutionary psychology. Almost all PU theory and "alpha" talk is based on some form of psychology.

Most people who complain about the board make broad generalizations that are too "ambiguous" to discuss.

How about some specifics, what exactly do you consider overanalyzing? Give some examples.

While there is such a thing as over-thinking, you can also make the mistake of ignoring important details.

We all have to go out there and learn from experience, no matter what advice you decide to take or leave. Whether or not the board is somehow going down hill, you are responsible for the decisions you make, regardless of who's advice you agree with.

Well, I think that SoSuave and the Forum are excelent. But that´s my opinion. I knew SoSuave and joined the forum for almost 2 months and I´ve learn many things since then.

It´s true that some of the threads/questions are stupid (even I consider it like that and I have too much to learn...) but the point of this forum (at least this one) is to help all the guys.

Take care, guys!

I've been on this forum a long time and it hasn't changed that much. People have been talking about it going down hill for a long time.

If anything the forum is doing better then it was a year or two ago simply because there are less trolls. Lukeskywalker is gone and so the realdeal ( the dude who kept coming back over and over whatever his name was. A few other notorious posters are no longer with us as well.

If anything, the forum seems to be less interesting than it used to be.

Forum probably stays about the same, I think it's just that our own perspectives are in flux. Once you've been involved in something for a while, you begin to see certain things that were blended into the background before, and now they stick out.

Responding to OP:
12 makeouts and no lays? Man, you really need to conduct these makeouts somewhere more private or learn to just go for it. Most makeouts should be turning into lays in my experience.

There a bunch of reasons why none of those turned into lays. Sometimes I didn't go for it (until a week ago logistics weren't the best since I was crashing in someone basement til my new place was ready). Sometimes I tried to isolate the girl but she wasn't having it. And those 12 girls I went out with were only first dates, most of them I never went out with again. There were only about 4 of them that I saw again, 2 of which I'm not interested in and I feel I'd be doing myself a disservice to sleep with (that's just how I feel so disagree all you want). Anyway, I dropped the 2 I'm not interested in anyway.

Let me tell everyone on this board, OVERANALYZING is gonna kill your game. The methods in here only work, at least for me and maybe not for others, after you hit it. If you haven't hit it yet, you have to do all the chasing. Like I said in my other posts, others have it easier than others, but for me, i found this method to work for me.

 

[War Against Betaism]

Overanalyzing has always been a second nature to most of the posters on this board. A while ago I wrote this FR where I ended up getting head and then this guy went through every single "mistake" I made and deemed me an AFC cause of that.

The problem I see is that the number of quality posts has gone down, at least IMO.
