Why can't I be the person who knows what their talking about? Why does he have to be? Because you know him he has more credibility with you that is all. You took his side because you knew him. Did I react immaturely and negatively? Absolutely but I also admitted it and replied with an apology, no where along the line was he willing to do the same. You have not taken a neutral stand on this at all, you merely took one guys side because you knew him.
We had a disagreement based off of opinion whatever. The difference being he was the hypocrite in starting a useless thread bitching about useless threads, he was in effect the offender. Yet I am suppose to be on the defense? I apologize but it is not my style to take the punch and not deliver one back. I am very good with words and influence, I have studied lots of books on it. I am very difficult to argue with and I know that.
Your Opinion states that Natural is not up for interpretation, I have met guys that were good with girls, but I wouldn't say they were Naturals. I firmly believe that you can do things until they become habit or natural. Yes it does start out unnatural as I have stated several times and apparently this is something none of you are willing to listen to, but it becomes natural as it becomes habit. It is as simple as that.
I am always crying laughter so your statement makes no sense. I laugh at everything, if you met me you would understand that. I am known for it by probably over 1000 people that come to my work(grocery store). I am referred to as the laughing boy, or happy boy or whatever else(kind of a baby face even at 27).
A online poster damage my self-esteem? Only someone with very low self esteem would allow someone from the internet to lower their self esteem. Apparently this has happened to you in the past because it is as if you have experienced this. This is a forum where people express their views, opinions, and concepts just like any other forum I am apart of, I don't take any of this personally. I do get frustrated with people when I start out friendly and then receive a hostile reply. Or when they start out Hostile.
Some people do things naturally, that is the concept of natural. However behavior can consciously be modified until it become natural habit, or just natural in general. Why is that not possible? Driving, Walking, Talking, Reading, all are things we learned that become natural, why would this be any different? No one has argued with this competently. All I hear is open your ears, while someone with closed ears is speaking. You guys are set in your thoughts and ways and I find it quite ironic that you are all calling me closed minded when you won't listen.
Should I expect a apology for you accusing me of being a high schooler? Some peoples OPINION on pick up are inherintly(is this a word?) is better? It is an opinion, what some people can do in pick up works with some personalities. With others it doesn't. A good example is the lamest AFC(or something thread) in the PUA lounge, I could actually use that and get away with it. While a ton of you guys have talked down upon it, some of us can do things other can't.
This is a civil argument and I appreciate that, you have not talked too negatively to me. However, I want you to look at it from the stand point of behavior being habit. A Natural's behavior is different than ours. His understanding is different than ours. However, you can instill all of these same things in yourself to become a natural. I have met guys that were obviously naturals for a long time(got most any girl, girls came to them, etc.) but no longer were, why can't the opposite be true?
Learning to become good with girls until it is natural is apparently not natural. So you are not natural with girls than? You are still awkward and unnatural with girls? Come on Fin I love these arguments, difference is I put a philosophical spin on things. You don't seem to ask enough questions.
1. It seems to be alerting people to the fact that this "natural game" spouted in here, is actually canned inner game speeches.
Would you like to explain how this thread is not useful?
2. You are right, I have taken Kasabi's side because I know of his experience and knowledge. But I don't know him.
Walk into a university lecture on psychology, like I'm guessing you do during term time. And Kasabi is better versed on the subject than they are.
I'm playing statistics here, becuase unless you have a Doctorate, or have say a good number of years as a therapist backing you. I will continue to hand it to Kasabi. That's how much respect I have for his opinion on these subjects.
What experience in the field of psychology and sociology do you have? What life experience do you have?
3. This is precisely Kasabis problem here, something natural came to a person origonally. It was not ingrained through books and seminars.
I learnt to power clean via teaching, and repitition. It is not a natural skill for me. It is and was a learned skill.
To claim habitual behaviours are the same as natural behaviours makes the term "natural" pretty meaningless don't you think?
4. And now you are validating yourself to everyone here. Why? You don't need to prove yourself, if you disagree with Kasabis views on this, then disagree and argue. No need to argue then go... "btw I am actually like this..."
Why are you telling me about how everyone see's you?
5. "What? A poster damage MY self esteem, GOD NO, I am not that low in self esteem, I AM ALPHA MALE, I don't care!" - This kind of response is not congruent with what the words imply.
And some ad hominem. You didn't like what Kasabi said, so you paint him black, you don't like what I say, and now you do the same to me. A pattern, coincidence?
Are you sure people are remarking with these comments purely becuase they are arrogant douchebags?
Is it not possible that you are trying to make this a personal war by demonsing Kasabi (and now me) so that you don't need to consider critisism?
6. Some PU styles are going to be better than others, this the consequence of having objectivity.
7. And our final stab, "this is a civil argument"; followed with passive aggression.
Again, to get anything out of what is being said you have to stop this idea of "me vs them" in your head.
You are telling people, I am listening, I am reasoning, but I feel that, that is not the whole truth.
----
I'll start first by admitting that I may be brushing over yourself becuase of what I know of Kasabi. I don't consider this to be that unfair, but I can appreciate that you do.
However I'm not wanting to get into this whole natural game debate for now. I have my own opinions on the subject and I find the approach of both camps to be extreme, and with pendulum influences.
I am writing this becuase I think YOU can benefit where I didn't.
