Ok guys, I was reading through Fin and Stormy's sticky'd threads on inner game and I got to the point where stormy was talking about how "girls like guys who do scary things". I've always been a daredevil, but when I was younger (like kindergarten) I went too far one time and busted my lip open. I'm sitting there not hurt and crying, not scared for myself, but scared i'm going to get in trouble for having busted open my lip. I remember the teacher bringing me to the office and my mom crying on the phone because she was scared and all, that instilled the fear into me, because at that point I started crying and she asked me not to be a daredevil anymore. In psychology they say there are times when traumatic events can cause a turning point in your life, incidents that occur which drastically alter your behavior and thinking. I'm trying to think when this point was with women because I used to be a natural and not really try to pursue them, women were just drawn to me, but nothing is coming to mind. I would ask how to reverse that fear but I know the answer is simple, approach, approach, approach. Oh and like I said, I am still a daredevil. I'm a little more hesitant to do stupid things than I was, but I guess in this instance a little bit of fear is a good thing lol. That is all.

maybe you can read me soon discuss about the inexistence of what these very words "inner game" refers to and how it messes up the thinking

not healthy for your mind to think in terms of "inner game" (which btw mean nothing)

what is inner, what is game... that's sick

But, you have to notice one thing, it is used because it covers the holes of the pick-up theories (which i'd rather call ramblings) and is comfortable to use to say practically anything

And everytime they fall on a non-sense they put it in the inner game box, that way everything is logic and "fits" their description of what is happening.

Then when contradictions start to appear what do they say ?

you got issues, you are the problem, you refuse changing yourself, you need more "deeper intensive inner game bootcamp".

But in the first place you shouldn't have believed them when they use words they don't know what is really behind.

literally "inner game" is the trash, l&f, misc, etc

and let me point the weaseling weasel : nlp

Dude, why so negative? One of the main reasons I kept mentioning inner game was because I was gushing about how much my eyes have opened after reading two amazing posts one of which had the words "inner game" in the title.

Inner game does have a meaning to those who give meaning to it... to me it means my beliefs and ideals. Who knows, maybe to other people it means other things... obviously to you it means nothing.

I'll agree with you, once in a while i've noticed people use the "inner game" as a scape goat, but a lot of times people acknowledge the fact that no one's game will be 100%. However, I fully agree that as long as you have a solid "inner game" it doesn't matter if you don't always get the girl. Because, as long as you fully believe you have value then it doesn't matter what happens because it wont affect you.

Honestly man I've noticed a lot of your posts have a negative tone, I mean you think it's sick because I used the word game? Hell life is a game... ever hear the words game of chance? Love has been considered a game because it's always been considered something of chance a lot like playing craps or roulette sometimes you win and sometimes she likes you... sometimes she doesn't...

Don't think that just because people are on here we all read what is written and accept it as law, we all think things over. We look at how it does or doesn't apply to our lives and we either learn it to be true or false. The only reason I'm getting off on this tangent is because I think you have a pessimistic view of a lot of the people on this board, no worries man we're not mindless zombies...well there may be some , but we're all here to learn, and in the end experience is the best teacher. Going out and living our lives teach us what is actually true and what is false. Anyway, i've rambled on enough, thanks for the insight though...much appreciated.

man, read yourself
a lot of non-sense coming out of what you say about "inner game" and "game"
but i didn't start explaining in detail... maybe soon

as for negative and pessimistic, it sounds to me like you're saying that outside of these ramblings there's nothing else.
I think you can reasonably ditch al that pickup material to the garbage and be confident that you're going to be ok, right ?
And don't you suspect that, by saying things like what you're telling me, you're not really in touch with yourself ?

But what about calling negative something that proved, with deaths, depressions, mental diseases and families being broken, women been abused, guys abandoning dignity over a relaxation mp3, are you blind to that ?

let's say that when you pass a judgement and criticism on nlp/hypnosis you get very negative reactions back

Haven't you take a look at what happened to societies who got into voodoo and occult stuff or bad reasoning (thinking it was science) ? they tend to disappear.

In another thread, some guy answer that one should care more about himself (and by that he probably meant hypnosis and sarging) rather than the social & economic system he's living in ... when did we stop being political mammals ?

So what are we now, not even animals ? insects ? this is crazy...

i hope i can soon make a topography of the kind of mental diseases induce by some material.

you're not taking it from expert and all the while they claim it's for entertainment purposes yet, you do apply them for real, in real life.

but their disclaimer won't stop the convicting for putting people's life in danger and spreading unhealthy morals.

Cause let's be true about it, there is no speech containing more morals than the one you can find here.

And i'm gonna conclude by that : they're making you a promise they can't fulfill
And i have nothing to give you, and i don't care about your money.

But i think that one should care about the society he's living in, cause if you let anyone around you fall, that's careless. and no man is an island.

I just remembered something i can share with you.

One day i was watching a documentary about james dean.
always wreckless, never had the least accident.
the only time he got one, he died.

So one of the interviewee was saying, maybe if he happened to hurt himself few times that should have make him realize and be less wreckless.

just my 2 cents, i thought i can share it with you.

mums are like that, they worry because they love us

Wow man, you don't even know me... Whatever though, if there's one thing I learned from reading the book The game, it's that no matter who wins a pissing contest you still both look like chumps. I didn't post to argue, and I have better things to do with my time.
