The problem was that the community at the time took a very "one size fits all" approach to seduction. Everyone was a Nice Guy, they put women on pedestals,and were overeager and prone to oneitis. If you happened to have an issue with women that didn't fit into that little shoebox, they looked at you like you were an alien.
You hit the nail on the head with the "one size fits all" approach. That in my opinion is the MAIN PROBLEM with Sosuave/The Manosphere because I believe it broad brushes every situation, every circumstance, every relationship, and EVERY WOMAN.
For example, as you know I do not understand why anybody would sign a marriage contract just based solely on the structure of the agreement along with market forces today that make it difficult to be "married happily forever". This does NOT MEAN that there are not marriages out there where the guy and girl are happily married.
But on the Manosphere, everything is RED and BLUE. There's no Purple. There's no Shades of Gray. And if you happen to call this out, you will be called names for it. With that being said, if a guy isn't careful...........the Manosphere can actually make your situation with women WORSE, not better. Again, just following any of the advice below that's promoted by the majority of the Manosphere will (I guarantee you) make your results with women worse:
* Not calling her in 3 or 5 days after getting her number. Do this and she is likely to forget who you are.
* Never texting a woman or not texting often, in a culture that is now founded on texting.
* Never using online dating, in a culture that is now founded on online dating.
* Using a 3 second rule, basically you walk in a room and IMMEDIATELY start hitting on a chick. Do this and you will come off very desperate and thirsty. For the life of me, just come in and enjoy the atmosphere first. Grab a drink or something, get settled in.
I can go on and on.
