content: If it's aimed towards the male market, why is it showing flowers and kittens? (Unless this is its pick-up method: girls are apparently easily bowled over by cute kittens.)I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they sell a fair few.

Is Elon Musk going to be the first president?As you are an expert at Internet dating, gym trainer and EE...You are the perfect candidate to review this product!You could even do a competing product with better pickup girl features!What do you think of binaural pulses? Are they useful? That's probably what they use for the purpose of changing brain waves.

That's what happened in Demolition Man!And mars could be just like another state if colonized by US, so he can be some kind of governor.Anyway, mars could declare independence even if it's a colony of some country. But I think that might need a civil war, because I'm sure they would do massive extracting of natural resources if space travel from/to earth becomes fast and cheap.

content: Quote from: eas on August 18, 2015, 11:32:09 pmDo you mean desperate men with lack of self-esteem, proper reasoning due to depressive symptoms, idealization of women and sexual relationships? Those are condemned to get ruined by these self-help books, courses, unethical psychologists (there's lots of them), religions, sects and even corporate pyramidal sects (such as Herbalife, I'm amazed they are still legal and even own a sports team).

content: Quote from: Macbeth on August 19, 2015, 12:30:02 amA hardcore EE that managed to get a couple and a cute son, that's a really amazing archivement!I definitely trust more his empirical results than those manufactured posers. He managed to form a family and dedicate to his passion, combining it with forming a family and not needing to disguise in some kind of pathetic "pickup assist" subproduct. He's true to himself, not trying to be another person.And that's part of the reason he's both entertaining and diactical: Be does what he really likes and isn't afraid to express naturally about his opinions.

I've talked with someone about the book, they tell you to just ask 50 girl the obvious wrong opening line (the one with sex in it). Because one might say yes. And they bring up statistics. It is creepy, and wrong on so many levels.I'm sure there is a proper term for this psychological misbehavior. I wouldn't call it art for sure.

We called it "the scattergun" approach. Quite amusing to watch. Apparently it did work for him on occasion, but I only ever witnessed the cringeworthy fails.Anyway what kind of wingman would you be? Too much negging dude!

content: "designed to play subliminal messages that your ear cannot hear but your brain does (below 20Hz)."So my brain doesn't need a sensory organ to pick up sound waves? No point in having these so called ears flapping around then, let me take care of them Van Gogh style.

content: Quote from: mojo-chan on August 19, 2015, 11:08:37 amBecause they are professional liars, they tell fake personal stories or do massive embellishments over them.There's lots of these people and these kind of communities born everywhere, having pyramidal schemes to sell other members all kind of courses, seminars, books and videos. A known one is "Mystery", another one is "Style".They just get very tiny amounts of true (don't be shy to talk, have self confidence, have some clothing style good for you...), tons of pseudoscience terms, lots of lies and lots of shitty and boring tales about their experiences as some kind of pornographic text.Anyway, these kind of assumptions would need some kind of criminal investigation. They might be fake or not, but they promote sexual harassment.Geeks and Nerds are some of the main targets of these scammers. Let's face it: Our passions aren't still so attractive to most women.http://www.dailydot.com/lifestyle/neil-strauss-interview/

content: Quote from: Circuiteromalaguito on August 19, 2015, 12:56:01 pmI think thinking that may be a self fulfilling prophecy. Even if they don't see what attracts you to the subject many will find the passion itself endearing, especially if you have above average skill and/or knowledge in the subject. And you've got to remember there are also just as many geeky/nerdy women out there as blokes. Most of them may not be in the same fields as most geeky/nerdy guys but they will definitely understand and appreciate your passions.

content: For what it is worth, the red pill/blue pill symbolism from The Matrix, while it shows up in various places in popular culture, has a a specific meaning among some factions of PUA. It is a central metaphor in an expansive narrative of male victimhood that explains their suffering and awkwardness and lack of the sex that they are *entitled to* and so provides them with justification for being rapey pieces-of-shit at worst, and insufferable, self-centered, babies at best.One of their great enemies are "feminists," which is ironic, because just taking to heart that "girls/women are people" would probably lead to a lot more and better sex than they manage to get by following their creep cult. And they might even get a sandwich or two out of the deal too.

content: Quote from: mojo-chan on August 30, 2015, 11:50:56 amRight-wing conservative and double-think masturbation. It gives very tiny bits of interesting words with lots of shit.Anyway, I hate the term feminism. It's retarded. I understand we men and women have biological differences and there aren't so defined genres and sexualities as we pretend it to be, I get that we aren't fucking binary systems at all.If masculinism is considered bad, why is feminism good? This is language perversion!I would prefer androginism over that kind of damn insane gender wars, despite my instincts always want very defined feminine attributes all the time.Why our animal species is still these days so fucking into a very defined sexual dimorphism?* I understand the boobs, the body structure and genitals as some kind of aesthetical and physical pleasure.* Maybe one of us need to make the kids, but technology would make that unnecessary.* Why are our brains so into sexual dimorphism too? I even see gay men sometimes share behaviors of females, I find genders and sexual orientation molding the person to be very intriguing and interesting (no negative at all).** It seems Aspergers and such are extreme male brains. That's interesting, but I found gay Aspergers so there's something more complex in sexuality than hormones and brain wiring.*** Alan Turing apart of a great genius that got treated in very cruel ways despite his contributions, was homosexual/gay and very probably Asperger. I know of other gay Asperger men too.
