Finally!!!  I’m back!

My Dell laptop of 4 years died sometimes in July and man… it’s been hard not to do anything productive for a while.  

I felt I was on some sort of self-imposed vacation… and sure, it was fun but I was really starting to get the itch to write again… and more importantly, to WORK!

Unfortunately, with my laptop’s imminent death, I lost a few files.  Among other things, gone is the great podcast interview I had with Nick Sparks from The Social Man.  I’ll have to do it again, I guess.

In other news, I’m sure you guys have met my new sidekick Jack.  I recently gave him a nickname:  Jack Mack.  Everywhere we go, when he sees someone cute, he’ll disappear and I’ll find him a few minutes later making some girl laugh.  I love watching him.  If I know he’s about to approach, I can already imagine him in my head do his “James Bond walk” strolling up to the girl.

Yakub is still around.  He lives in Virginia though so it’s harder for me to just have spontaneous chats with him as inspiration for the blog.  Hopefully, he can pop in and write a few words sometimes on here.  He just came back from a month-long vacation in Bangladesh.

Right now, let’s talk about something serious.  

I have a grudge.

As a lot of you know, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time exploring what Pickup Artists (PUAs) teach men about women.  There are a lot of positive things the Seduction Community can offer to your average guy’s understanding of women but there’re also many bad, BAD habits or beliefs they teach.

It’s a well-known fact that the typical guy who enters the Seduction Community is the frustrated nice guy who hasn’t been able to get the woman of his dreams very often.  He’s seen other “bad boys” get the girl.  He’s seen his cute and hot female friends overlook him for other men.  He’s understanding, he’s considerate, he wants to please women, he’s kind and helpful yet he doesn’t get the girl.  

He just doesn’t understand what women want.  

So he gets frustrated and somehow, out of desperation, he finds the Pickup Community.

He goes from not understanding women to wanting to know EVERYTHING about women.  He learns about body language, he learns about conversational styles, he learns about flirting/banter/cocky & funny, he learns about subtle signs women give to show interest, he learns about everything he needs to know to be successful with women.

And you know what?  That’s where my beef is right now.

You don’t need to know EVERYTHING to get the girl. (more…)
