Read Roissy? Post links to the good shit here. I'll start...

I spent some time reading it this morning and like his concept of attaining excellence in all areas of your life.

I read this and my first thought was "how sad is it that attaining excellence in everything you do has become a 'concept' to a lot of people?!"

A memory came to mind right away. Back when I started in that whole confidence / game / PUA shit in the early 2000s, I was overweight, balding, boozing all of the time and miserable. I was recommended to get into it by a friend who had immensely changed his life through seeking out excellence.

I was at his house one time, and the guy actually had affirmations taped to his bathroom mirror. Shit like "I will strive for the best in every thing I do" and whatnot. I remember laughing at him at the time. I bought into the whole thing as much as I could (I didn't do the sticky notes or verbal affirmations) and was rewarded with a lot of positive results. Improved abilities with women and more/better sex is just the icing on the cake when you aim to better yourself.

Could I do better? Absolutely. That guy I mentioned is currently more well off financially, emotionally, in fitness and in crushing top-quality ass than anyone else I know. Everything he does, he does well. Does he have failures? Sure... but he even makes the most of those. And it all stems back to his mindset. He is confident in all areas of his life, and it shows. Dude's charisma is amazing.

Perhaps we've created a culture where striving to achieve excellence has gone by the wayside... even in this thread there are people sitting around calling each other keyboard jockeys for not yet having the confidence or not knowing how to cold-approach women on the street.

No clue where I was going with this. Coolstarrybra.jpg

You're 100% correct, but we have gotten so used to living a life of mediocrity and having shit handed to us. Hell, kids get trophies just for participating because they don't want to leave out anyone on the losing team.

It's easy to fall into the trap of just "getting by."

yea no kidding.

I do want to say this though... it's not like we are some pimply faced virgins who have never had girlfriends or even kissed girls. It seems like that's what CCarter and Unarmed assumed. I have pretty decent skills with women, although they could be better.

I dislike the whole PUA culture just as the next guy (most of the time they get way too deep with that shit), but there is some useful stuff there. For one, what the PUA's call "shit tests" have helped me out tons. I'm not afraid to admit that I didn't know that before "reading the instruction manual". But I guess hey, we should just burn all our business and copywriting books too because that shit's just common sense anyway

 

[Garrett]

You want to have a comprehensive conversation about a blog to get chicks with pre-written emails and shit

This is where you are completely misunderstanding me. I don't read that blog so I can have an encyclopediac knowledge of pickup lines and "tricks", but rather so I can understand why women do what they do. Not on a PHD level or anything, just the basics.

 

[djsherpa]

Glad you guys liked my stuff. Yeah, I think most people think of the pick up industry how it was circa 2006, and just like IM, shit has evolved immensely. Much more about self development, and just becoming a better person.

Nothing to hate on unless you are a hater. Although I do agree with what others said about Roissy being a slight misogynist and arrogant as all hell.

Although I've been labeled that as well. heh.

that's exactly why I made this thread. Thousands of posts, few really good reads. So post links to the good shit! None of this read my blog bullshit, at least reference some good posts. Or we could all continue arguing about how "women actually like dick and I can't believe you dont know this."

You're missing the point. Burning your business/copywriting books etc is not the same thing. Building you business is far more important than talking some chick into bed. That's what you're missing about the "don't put the pussy on a pedestal" comment. You can not compare the two things. Business is important and through a successful business you can find wealth, security, better health and all the pussy you could want. Talking some chick into fucking just empties your nut sack for a few hours. You can't compare the two.

I hate to drop another meme but Disregard Females, Acquire Currency. Why? Because with money, comes pussy. With pussy, comes...nothing. You only have so many hours in the day, devoting too much of it to chasing pussy is REALLY unproductive.

Time is money. Don't waste too much of it on something that brings no return on your investment.

Well the reason I posted my blog is because I'm part of the top company in the industry (RSD), and I teach programs every weekend, so felt I had more to offer through the articles on my own site.

As for the mention of acquiring money first:

I definitely went the other way, grab bitches first, and then accumulate monies.

And I'm VERY happy with the path I took. Really, what is the currency of humanity?

Why are wars fought, why are skyscrapers built, because some guy wanted more money, more power, to ultimately look cool and fuck more bitches.

Getting girls first is like cutting straight to the end. And once you have an abundance of women, you attract the right people into your life like moths to a lightbulb.

Seriously, I should not be friends with a lot of my closest friends. Multi millionaires, CEOs, even top internet marketers that helped me find this site.

Yeah, they had a head start in their business and are way more financially successful, for now. Haha. But they are happy to help me scream through the learning curve, all I gotta do is throw a couple girls their way.

 

[djsherpa]

And I'd like to add that what's money, or success in ANYTHING if you are still unhappy at the end of the day?

Don't try to fill the void with WHATEVER. Money, girls, any of that shit.

That's why everything has moved in the self development direction. Take care of yourself first, and then all the spices of life are icing on the cake.

Brad this looks really good on paper but in reality a lot of people that are depressed just have shitty lives. Bad job, can't get a girlfriend, idiot friends if any, no money. Just give them a hot chick and a pile of cash and you won't have a depressed person any more.

Because really, how can you be happy about yourself if you're 30 year old fat neckbeard, living in your mom's basement, have $100 to your name and no way to get out of your pathetic lifestyle?

I've seen the depression situation play out so many times it's not even funny. You can't just tell these people to become a happier person or have them rewire their brain just on happy thoughts alone.

In order to change themselves they usually need to severely change their lifestyle, find goals worth pursuing etc.

Now of course if a person is depressed because of some kind of traumatic experience from their past of they have a genuine hormonal imbalance/neurological issues that's a whole different story and has to be properly addressed.

money = happiness. i understand why some kids would want to sit around reading about getting girls, same idea as all the people who buy into mmo blogs and all that shit. but at the end of the day it doesnt matter how many girls you've fucked, if you're a broke little bitch you're still gonna be unhappy and feel like a failure

30 mil in the bank, but no girlfriend = happy as fuck
living in a cardboard box, but has a girlfriend = unhappy as fuck

 

[webjedi]

Hahaha I love this forum.
I was making stacks of cash and couldn't spend it all before another paycheck rolled in.
It was great but I discovered that I needed to be fulfilled, some meaning elsewise it didn't matter.

I think all the people that say money=happiness never had money haha
I have seen poor but happy motherfuckers, and rich and happy motherfuckers.
Money is not really part of the equation, get fulfillment and you get happiness, money is often in accompaniment, how to get fulfilled?

Do what you love.

You can get pussy somewhat more efficiently with cash than without cash, but if you can get pussy easily enough without having to be a slave to your business, why not spare yourself the grind? Read a book, write a book, take a hike, ride a bike, smoke a j or sail the bay. Working only goes so far...

 

[abdulghani]

Explain to me how in a world where women go to classes to give blowjobs:

You clowns can't figure out, that women want Dick.

This is the good shit.

STFU Dr. Seuss some of us enjoy the grind. Easier pussy is the cherry on top.
