I don't want to see that filth again.

Hope he notices sooner than later what a steaming pile he gets fed by various self appointed seduction gurus.

Hope he notices sooner than later what a steaming pile he gets fed by various self appointed seduction gurus.I agree on the cringe worthy aspect but it's not all a steaming pile. There are some proper analyses of human behaviour that can be really informative. Only read one game book 10-15 years ago and it really improved my life.
Quote from: The Kurgan on May 06, 2019, 03:55:27 PMMaybe they had better stuff 10 years ago or he just sucks trying to explain what he read up. I never read on the subject myself, so everything i know is basically second hand. While some may be useful insights into human interaction, most of it sounded borderline sociopathic with the focus not even really on having a good time but collecting notches for bragging rights. All with the disclaimer from one author that you will get lucky maybe two times in a hundred tries. Not sure if he couldn't do equally good or better just as it is.

Just no sure what you mean.

Quote from: [cancerblack] on May 06, 2019, 08:31:32 PMPeople play mind games with eachother all the time, usually for no reason other than to satisfy their own egos, and it generally leads to trouble for all involved. They want to "win" at something that's collaborative rather than competitive, in this specific instance.

Yet it's not as simple as that when it comes to human interaction. A lot of people have trouble with being honest and direct, and with others acting that way towards them, so conversations often become games. Especially when it comes to the whole dating aspect. It's just a sad truth.
Quote from: [cancerblack] on May 07, 2019, 12:43:56 AMCorrect. But the "pickup artistry" in question isn't about just being good at dates or reading social cues in the hopes of finding a partner, it's about feeding your ego through casual sex, viewed explicitly as conquest.
