Wtf are you talking about? I disagree with a post, a guy questions my experience with women, I state the facts and how I approach relationships... and somehow I'm trying to act like my life is cool? So if a guy made a post about looks don't matter, I say the do, he questions my looks so I say I'm good looking you'd see me as a braggart right? Lol. If anyone tried to up someone it was Eddy when he was condescending and questioned my personal success off the bat for me saying I disagree. Your logic is seriously flawed. The first one you should be calling out for trying to outdo someone would be the guy trying to outdo someone, not the guy responding.
So you want to know why I post. Read my posts dude... whether or not you disagree with what I write, 99% of what I write is telling guys to leave shitty relationships and to focus on their happiness. I don't give tips on how to fuck a girl, I don't give text tips or better than anyone posts. If you have an issue with guys who brag, be a man and jump on one of the threads where that actually happens... not the guy who writes mostly I agree heres why or I disagree heres why. Nothing wrong if you really care about pussy, just go call out the guys who are really talking about it. That's like me calling out Hellhound as the guy who advocates celibacy or Hunter fox as a white knight.
i don't think you're in the wrong for defending yourself against eddie in this case and i agree with much of what you're saying here (and in general) on a theoretical level. but it's your application of those principles to your own life that irks me. to address your analogy, if a guy made a post about looks and you said looks matter, then he questioned your looks, then you said you're good-looking but you personally don't really care about your looks and would be just as attractive without them... i'd call you contradictory, which i have here.
because you say you're in a healthy relationship, and that while there are no tests (there are, you're just passing them or have already passed them, and they're not conscious "i will now test my man" tests, which *can* be selected against, so kudos), there are still the routine challenges of being in a relationship. then, and this is the bizarre part, you go on to say you'd be just as content without a woman in your life.
if that's the case, why on earth do you have a girlfriend?? why expend any effort into a relationship at all? why take the time to drive to her house, buy her dinner on her birthday, etc... if you'd be just as content without her? it's blatant contradiction or else masochism. she obviously adds happiness to your life. and keeping her your girlfriend is obviously a priority. the former is obvious because otherwise you would not call your relationship "healthy" by anyone's definition; the latter because otherwise you wouldn't have preselected her in accordance with a certain strict set of criteria.
not to mention all of this being magnified by the fact that you have a prodigious amount of posts on a pick-up artist forum. your very presence at this forum instead of an actual relationship forum betrays an initial interest in attracting women and an initial inability to do so to your liking. your continued presence betrays an interest in advising others on relationship matters, which makes no sense if you're not simultaneously striving to preserve your own and actually cognizant of and able to teach the mechanics of its preservation, which makes even less sense if you'd be just as happy without one. that, neo87, is seriously flawed logic.
finally, there's a difference between saying "you should go out and live an incredible life to attract women" and saying "i live an incredible life therefore i attract so many women." hunter and hellhound and other vets appear to often say the first bit but not the second. i'm not implying you're saying those exact words, but there is discord between what you're saying and what you're actually doing, or better put there is discord between your actions and your claims of being just as happy without these actions, which begs the question why act in the first place, why not *actually* focus on yourself...
i don't mean to single you out. if i see it elsewhere i'll comment on it the same. and i expect others to do the same to me.
See, this is something I never understood, why is it when you guys don't get what someone is saying, you go to calling bs or seeing things from your world view? And yes, there is a HUGE difference with how I said I disagree with Eddie's post, and you saying I'm bullshitting and contradictory.
I was the first to say in this thread a relationship always has challenges. Look, I was the biggest guy who preached about tests, and once I got with enough women and stopped trying to game them in relationships and just be myself, I noticed I didn't get tested. Not that I couldn't see the tests...I can't honestly think of a time my gf did something that could be considered a test. If a test is testing that you're in control or whatever, she doesn't.
Also, me saying I don't need a woman isn't as simple as you make it sound. I have goals, I'm working on businesses, focusing on additional qualifications, hanging out with friends, health, fitness, learning new stuff like the guitar, travelling, reading, socializing. These things make me happy. And let's be real, any girl no matter how great they are, is just another person in your life. Not saying that gf doesn't make me happy, but I have other things that make me just as happy as well. What then, is the ability to walk away?
I'm not advocating not being passionate about women, just be passionate about the other things in your life as well. Genuinely. Sex and women, are one small part of a life. Here's a weird thing, Xmas is coming up and many guys are focused on what they'll get their gf. How many guys put thought into what they'll get their mom, or their best friend? We talk about not putting pussy on a pedestal, then make our whole lives revolve around banging chicks and keeping their interest, then wonder why they test us because on some level we need them too badly. If I'm excited about my friends, excited about my career, does my gf have to test that I can walk away?
As to why a pickup forum, it's to help and because I like dating/relationship experiences. Never even knew there were relationship forums, but I'd guess they would be too censored or fake sounding for my tastes. Again, I'm passionate about pickup and dating and relationships. So I post.

I'm not trying to PRESERVE my relationship. I've never said that. In fact, as I said here and in other threads, I say to focus on being happy. Why try to preserve a relationship? It's not a job. You like/love someone and enjoy each other's company. If she or you falls out of love or is losing interest, find a better match for you. I've said this over and over and over again.
Do you see, how subconsciously, you see some merit in PRESERVING a relationship. So now do you see why women can pick up on you already trying for an outcome, hence they test you? When you aren't trying to preserve something, what's to test?
PS- And no, not trying to preserve something is not saying be lame. Be yourself and have fun. If your lame and she dumps you, find a lame chick. I have many interests so girls are interested. Heck, I'm buying a snowboard set to do alot of snowboarding this winter. With or without a girl.
