Anyone else feel the same about their parents? I mean even my mum is beginning to act like a bitch towards me.

I think our parent's lack of parenting is what has drawn most of us to this site in the first place, learning the skills the useless dicks haven't taught us. Does anyone have any experience in sorting out family disputes, this is driving me crazy and I think I'm on the verge of leaving home but there's no where to go.

I just need to get my feelings out, and this site seems the best place as most of us can relate.

I'm just curious. How old are you?

If you're an adult get out of the parent's place. True you will not have much money, things will be more difficult. But in two years of living on your own, you'll be a man that no one can disrespect.

If you're a minor suck it up. Everybody has issues with their parents at times. Be thankful they are letting you stay at their place so you have time to chase girls.

If I was a minor I would completely understand where you are coming from. I'm 18 though and getting a job and a place of my own at this moment in time is very difficult. Something I strive for however.

I agree with the previous poster. No matter how much our parents annoy us sometimes, we should always respect them, unless they're physically or emotionally abusive. That being said, every person should take full responsibility of their own life. Your parents aren't to blame for your life, you're the only one that can change it and live it. So stop making excuses, take charge, decide what you want and work towards a goal! It's so much easier when you have a clear goal. And don't be too harsh on your parents. Parenting is really harsh and demanding, just imagine how many things your parents had to give up to bring you up to the best of their abilities. Yes, they're not perfect, after all they're just human as the rest of us. Try putting yourself in your father's shoes. It's not that easy! I'm not a parent, and don't want to be one particularly, because I "know" or I can imagine vividly what kind of a sacrifice that is. I'm not saying your dad's not a complete dickhead, that's always possible and there are many people having children that really shouldn't, but before you judge him as one, put yourself in his shoes and try to understand him. Don't judge too hard, but rather make something of your life, take responsibility for yourself and don't let your circumstances stop you, even though they might be very limiting or seem so at the moment. Good luck!

I don't care about what anyone else has to say - If my father had done his job and instilled some confidence on me as a child, and not his depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues and his approach; one that lacked in confidence to those problems I would not have been in a position where I was reading books on the Internet to get laid.

PUA has instilled a massive amount of confidence in me - Confidence I can use to help my old man deal with his problems. This isn't the way it should be but I know it can work.

Also, whilst I agree with Txacoli in taking responsibility we cannot ignore our pasts and the society that has been damaged irrevocably by plagues such as feminism which have emasculated males. We can also make a conscious decision to provide our own children with the confidence we ourselves lacked.

Yes, I agree feminism has brought some serious issues in man-woman relationships. I'm always against radical feminism, but in reality, today's position of women in society wouldn't be possible without it. Make no mistake, I'm against radical feminism, but I'm also somewhat grateful that women are persons and not some sheep who blindly follow male lead, because this aspect of women is most attractive to me and when I sense weak women who will follow without resistance, it turns me off

I agree with everything you have just said. I wish I didn't have to 'learn' how to do this stuff and could focus on other areas of my life instead of worrying about this one. PUA has played a major part in raising my confidence. I was a quiet shy kid at school and had maybe 1 or 2 friends but now I'm more outgoing and sociable. I think I would still be that guy if I hadn't discovered this. We have a lot to thank pick up for, not just the girls but helping ourselves as people in general.

It's also extremely paradoxical that if I had been confident naturally I still probably wouldn't have got laid as much as I have with my manufactured confidence. People say that luck and fate are non-existent - Maybe that's true, maybe it's not - But there is certainly a lottery of life. Some days I'm pissed that I wasn't born into the greatest circumstances in life and then I realise that maybe this was some kind of 'fate'. I don't know.

I've gone through a period where I've lost all sort of guidance in my life and I get the feeling it's about to crash again. This is the time I needed a strong male role model in life. Guess it's just another destination on the journey to success.
