Sarcasm? Lol.

Didn't know you were capable. Thought trolls were soulless creatures. Thus again I stand corrected.

Have sex before you say you don't want it. There's the real challenge.

It's boring m i rite. It's just like drugs. Feels good at the time but once the excitement is over, it's just blah. Pretty pointless. Got better things to do, like troll online forums or go out and make money.

fyi drugs are way better than sex for a variety of reasons (some chemical even) and you probably havent been doing the right drugs if you think theyre comparable to sex

or just not do drugs and find better avenues for your mind and body.

I don't know, man.

I'd say that book is really good for people who are otherwise clueless or unsuccessful when it comes to social interaction with the opposite sex. It's always good to take on a jumpstart -- what do you have to lose?

Just seems like valuable information for people who may not know how to approach social situations with their best foot forward. The way I see it, you can think of a personality like a product. Your game is sort of like your advertising. Even if you've got a good product, you're not going to have very good luck if you suck at letting people know what you have in an effective way.

It's not like you have to use the book's advice to pick up random chicks. I don't think that's Strauss' intent. It's just a way for people to learn how "game" actually functions in terms of behavioral trends. However, I tend to disagree with his views on neg theory. If you know what you're doing, you don't have to resort to negs. I also think a few of his stories are a bit exaggerated, but I still think the underlying points/concepts are still applicable.

no drugs are pretty awesome just about the best way to get those pleasure chemicals in your brain turning on and definitely the best way to get the meaningfulness ones pumping too

Re: Let's talk about sex

If this is your take on it all, you obviously don't understand the underlying concepts. Don't call me a retard for your obvious lack of understanding. I'm not saying that you need to take Strauss' advice word for word. But he raises many, many good points that people could learn from and use to better their interactions.

Personally, I would agree that scripted scenarios are a bad idea. I think giving "example" scenarios showing how to work out the concepts would be more effective -- social interaction isn't a script. You need to be able to flow and adapt, and I think you need to take the pieces of advice that fit this best.

That

While I understand everything you said and absorbed the message you tried to convey, I just want to state to correct my last post, you have not lost. Only when you realize it will you have lost.

I'uno, I don't want to alienate people who do drugs, simply cause it IS your choice and I won't bother you about it, but in my eyes, drugs are just a scapegoat for those who are incapable of reproducing those heightened senses and emotions from normal life interactions. Like you resort to it cause you're impotent of the feelings otherwise. I just think there are always, no matter the situation, better lanes in life to take to achieve those feelings.

Re: Let's talk about sex

Sorry man, but you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm saying you don't understand because you're bringing up **** like scripts when I wasn't even necessarily praising Strauss for that, making that a preemptive retarded assumption on your end. The points I praise him for are those that facilitate a more natural level of interaction such that you're putting your best foot forward. I don't think you need to resort to negs/lying/scripts and crap like that to be successful with women. Sometimes people can be genuinely interesting but suck when it comes to communication.

I have very few problems when it comes to talking to women nowadays, but I know what it's like to get out there, talk to women, and wind up not knowing what exactly went wrong. It's not always as simple as simply getting out there and practicing. It certainly helps, but like most things, it's good to understand what you're getting into if you want to have the best success.

This

Are you talking to me? Serious question.

[dballin4]

Re: Let's talk about sex

You're bringing up crap against points I never even raised -- I'm not saying that you don't understand because you disagree with me, I'm saying that you misunderstand because you overemphasize a need for something that I wasn't even advocating in the first place, nor would I argue that Strauss would, either. Seriously kid, if you're going to be an arrogant prick, at least be smart enough to back it up.
