Social media did exist back then. Granted it wasn't as popular as it is now, but Myspace quickly became what FB is today around the same time some of that bible material was written.
OLD is as old as the internet itself. It definitely existed. It had a very negative stigma to it back then, but not much different than the stigma of trashy, BPD women and scams/fake profiles half the guys see OLD as being today.
Sir, I completely disagree. MySpace was no where NEAR what Facebook is today. Not even close. Secondly, OLD was no where NEAR the level back then as it is today. Social Media and Online Dating pretty much ARE the dating culture today, even though yes, they existed back then but no where near the level of influence.
Compare that to the Internet in general. Sure, the Internet was around in 1999 but today, the Internet pretty much IS our lives. We live on the Internet today. Our entire life is on the internet, from our careers, to our banking, to our insurance policies, to damn near everything.
Today, the dating market is ran, controlled, and influenced by Social Media, Online Dating, and Texting.
....but most of the guidelines on texting that guys talk about now are really no different than the phone calling guidelines of back then: Don't chat for hours on end like you're her girlfriend.
Which was ALWAYS bad advice. The telephone is a part of your rapport building process. Just "meeting" a chick in person without any telephone activity leads to a huge waste of time, energy, etc., because you are meeting a lot of chicks who are still "cold".....whereas the telephone process (which includes sitting on the phone with them for a good period of time) "warms" them up.
Don't be the one always initiating contact, etc. Maybe you can add stuff like don't use emojis, but is that advice really going to rock anyone's game to a new level?
Texting without using Emojis.....would be like Driving a Car on "E", which means you might back out the driveway and you might indeed hit the street, but you aren't going very far.
Social media, OLD and texting can all be used as major crutches for AFCs who are too scared sh1t to cold approach.
Cold approaching is the
least effective tool to build plates today. The most effective (in no particular order) are general social circles, extended social circles, social media, and online dating. Cold approaching drains a lot of time and energy, with LOW conversion numbers.
I'm not saying these 3 things should be avoided, don't get me wrong, but these 3 things are without a doubt the most popular tools for AFCs to use so they can stay in their comfort zones.
You can call it whatever you want.....if the guy isn't attractive to the girl, then the girl isn't going to move forward with him. Social Media and OLD are nothing but MEDIUMS in which you can meet women, they are no different (in terms of mediums) than meeting a woman at the gym, Arbys, or the Unemployment Line. What determines your success is how individually attractive you are to the women you are pursuing. Texting is AFTER you have her number and it's a way (with the use of a live call) to build rapport with the girl so that when you two are together in person....there's already built/established rapport and trust.
The Bible was written for those guys, not so much for you, me or a lot of other guys as we are now; guys who know these things can be good tools and are to some extent necessary, but also know well enough not to revolve our games around any of it.
I sort of agree with you here, but I think that might be why the DJ Bible needs to be seriously updated. If we are looking to build champion basketball players, we don't make Lebron James do one workout routine while everybody else does a "lesser intense" workout routine.
I hate the notion of having ANY "starter" material whatsoever. The entire system is to become an attractive man (fix your looks, personality, and finances), then go out and play the numbers game of meeting 20 women, getting 12 numbers, dating 6 of them, fvcking 3 of them, and being in some sort of relationship with 1 of them. That's the game. So we should have every guy JUMP in with fixing themselves and then focusing on continuing to play the numbers. No "starter" material.
