This is one reason why I don't think there's much use in me advising someone on how to deal with romance/women. People can pretend to embrace the IDGAF attitude, but they're not Einzelgänger. They don't want to walk their own path, they want shortcuts without realising the real roads are hard as hell. Taking the easy road will not shape your personality enough to go alone.
I've always had the lone wolf mentality, but that didn't necessarily help me with women. It took advice from more experienced men to get me over the hump, and then many years of experience before my enlightenment.
Faking ngaf is better than the alternatives. Ganga games i think it used to be called on sosuave, but i know it as dread game now. It works. Most people see you as how you present yourself.
You should definitely keep advising the youngsters. They have to learn about women's nature somewhere, and they aren't getting it from the mainstream.
