Scarf you put a lot of time into that post, as I just reread it. It looks like this thread resonated with you very well. I enjoyed it when you especially wrote:
As frustrated as you might be, if you want to bash the community, do it somewhere else.
If I want to "bash the community"
I'll do it. I have no problem with that. As long as I am not disrespecting anyone. My curiosity is where you got so righteous & uptight as to tell me what to do
Anywho, the original thread was necessary for me: helped me vent off old unnecessary emotions. And, it was especially nice when I burned all those PUA books
that gave me a good laugh!
I was going to forward the thread to you, but I accidentally deleted those photos from photobucket not knowing they wouldn't appear on the forum anymore; lesson learned.
As for the more polite side of your response
your right PUA helped me find this place, but maybe I would have found it without PUA as well...I'll never know+nor do I care. But, I do appreciate what PUA taught me. I went from an 18 year old introvert with minimal social skills to a guy who got some. I still remember using all the openers & gambits I used
it always felt uncomfortable using their stuff. Like my mind was telling me there is a better/easier way man!
For a little back-story about my PUA history: After Mystery Method I progressed to RSD. I followed RSD heavily and was fortunate or unfortunate
, no definitely fortunate (good experience), to meet the actual crew: Tyler, Papa, Tyler, and some other guys Ghandi & Evil Stifler. I went to one of the free RSD Free Tours in San Fran with guys I met from the forum. It was nice to see a group of men eager to take their balls back & be MEN! The seminar was free, except for the $20 donation that was necessary to save you a seat
, but also refundable after the seminar by contacting their hotline. The free tour gave me a chance to meet with Jeffy, who I looking up to at the time. After some emails back and forth I let Jeffy know I was interesting in learning from him. After a few weeks or so he offered me an interview for an internship spot as his assistant (6 months & I go out with him or something like that). After seeing him two more times in person at other small RSD meetings I noticed that this guy was unstable! For all of the 3 or 4 times I talked to him in person he was faded, and I can't describe this in words: something felt off when I chatted with him (can't describe it). He seemed like he had a good front, but his clout was unstable (I'm hoping I got that metaphor right with front/clout). Following our conversation back and forth I followed my gut and turned down working with him or RSD for that matter. This is where my story comes to an end. After a few weeks of no PUA forums or videos for that matter I searched Google for something along the lines of "stop giving a fuck about what others think of you"
I found Jake. Not remembering I was brought to this holy garden where my new journey started

Scarf I'm sincerely glad you posted your comment. PM me sometime if you wanna chat about old PUA times or ahh-haa moments.

Sniper that is an interesting post. I always wondered where did all these gurus come from
That might be the reason why I always questioned their teachings. Oh yes, and the RSD Free Tour I mentioned going to above this post. The first hour of the seminar was advertisement and testimonials from Papa for their products
I was so bored!!!! Then, Tyler finally came on. It was a overall good experience.
