I would like to discuss what you say about new stuff xman. I will have to agree, but think that the cause is our own. As a community of guys who were afcs we have kept many of our past afc behaviors and keep very much to ourselves. The general population has very little concept of what a pua is and sees us as a near cult that wants to dehumanize women because of our inability to focus on spreading our views from outside of the community.
I believe that we aren't focusing on enough avenues of improving ourselves. Most of the community focuses on the avenues improvement that have to deal with women and improving our abilities to converse, however we miss many other important areas that would improve our abilities to attract women. We are not open to new views because we have closed ourselves off to things outside of ourselves for improvement. Therefore you have a bunch of guys telling a bunch of other guys what's best and a few gurus that most community members basically worship. A new idea must come from these gurus. Instead of thinking on their own most community members blindly follow what these gurus say just because the gurus say their method of doing things is best. This is caused because the gurus are said to have done more approaches or have met more women. While this makes them somewhat credible, it stifles our abilities to question and judge things and learn things for ourselves and it decreases innovation and new ideas significantly. There are no new things because guys refuse to take the role of a leader and question the way things are and instead just follow what some other guy says would be best for them. It's no wonder I find that the majority of guys in the community still aren't getting what they want from women. What works best for some "guru" may not be the best thing for them and without the ability to question and observe what works for them their only choice is to blindly follow.
I think the problem lies in our inability to question things for ourselves. The community instead of teaching quick fix patterns and routines should instead teach how to judge and question in a way that they can find the answers for themselves instead of becoming dependent upon some forum or guru for answers. At times a person needs help and I understand that, but the amount of questions being posed on forums such as this that are the result of a guys inability to judge a situation for himself and try what outcome seems best is ridiculous. In order to change the community we must take action and change the way that the community is teaching.
Wow so that was generally unrelated to this post I believe it is things that should be more talked about though, so you can move it if you like.
yeah I tought it the other day, to me the point of this things shouldnt be to have online doctors to reply everything we get through with women(still, theres no problem with that, sometimes)
but that we should get the point and try to walk with our own legs, so that we don't have to get dependent on this
