I agree and disagree with this statement.
in agreement:
All people should think for themselves and come up with values they thought of themselves based on their observations. This is a process guys, and you not gonna get there overnight. But you start by questioning everything you know. You need to live your life based on what YOU want. (there is a lot more too this, but want to keep this simple)
In disagreement
Be wary of anyone's intentions who says this statement. Kowalski's current rambling has been disrespectful. This is a far cry from the social awesomeness that he preached a few years ago with Swype and Jynx.
He is saying one of his contributing factors of his success is "
I will continue to say what I want when I want" (much like the penniless tramp asking for spare change) If his posts disrespect other forum members, this counts towards his "
success". He would shoot you in the back to get his way. Do you really want a friend like this? You can actually do very well at pick-up, and even life in general, without trying to control others. Some of my opinions will naturally be different to yours because i view things in a unique way.
For instance, the different ways to learn pick-up. Routines or natural? inner-game/outer game? There are substantial logical arguments that say why is one method better than another method. But its up to you guys to test stuff out. No one has a right to be
disrespectful to you for wanting to use routines, you want to test it and share it if it's successful. These sort of posts are just as valuable as the deep philosophical arguments we get into here
So
if you're disrespecting someone here, as long its well calculated,
this is a viable way to be successful. I say bollocks. Nobody is controlling what i should think, or feel, or my sense of right and wrong.
You can achieve success by dissing people, big success. But I will fight this to the death. There are other ways to be successful, without overtly disrespecting.
It's inevitable as a
PUA (love the term, lol), that you strip yourself off limiting beliefs and come up with your sense of code/conduct and values that you've gained by your own observations. So, what happens when this "
PUA" goes onto a forum like this and somebody tries to control your way of thinking. No one controls you. Its only because he wants to gain something at your expense. Recognize the signs of anyone "trying" to be dominant. They will try to grab the center of attention, they would easily insult others. These influences can be very strong and would actually be detrimental for any student in pick-up. If you are in a mindset of
aiming to "please" a particular person in the community, having to show them how "successful" you are, this is a sign you are being controlled in some way. You need to seriously find your own way. Switch the computer off and go out. Do not stray from your opinions just to please people.
This is just my unofficial forum guidelines (my personal opinion:
1) If you need help with something, want to ask a questions, please post.
2) If you have anything of value to give to others, post it.
3) Don't post to boast "fucked 5 bitches in one hour, ho!"
4) If you disagree with a post, set out in rational argument why you disagree. Do not insult forum members
5) Field reports are a valuable source of information, for the forum itself. We should all be encourage to post field reports.
Too much disrespecting going on here at the moment. Don't be intimidated to post something you may get ridiculed for, I will shout them down for you.
There is one person on this forum who's life has completely changed and has been totally transformed to a "socially awesome" individual. He needs to be encouraged to post more.
This guys insights could be value to the people here. Also Nova is an example of the concept of putting theory into practice, through hard work.
Don't aim to please, don't aim to look cool, don't aim to dominant, if you want to successfully fight the control of others.
And lastly, what me and K both agree on.
Be authentic
