That’s the least of it, isn’t it? Men who lack natural charm, genetic gifts or familiarity with women rank women based on physical appearance alone then share tricks and tips which attempt to manipulate those women into dispensing sex. Is that what you actually want to accomplish? Hatred for women? Or familiarity?
Is what you are asking me serious?
ranking isnt harmful in my opinion. is not makeup or showing cleavage manipulation? Is not being a nice guy an attempt to manipulate for sex sometimes? Do you think those are wrong? I don’t see an inherent hatred in the pick up world. Maybe there is but I don’t see it. Except maybe sometimes.
Are you a woman or man?
Perhaps you should stick with your studies in the seduction community and let us know how that works out for you.
Why does this thread smell like Axe body spray?
Why do you think so?
For those who didn’t see it in my other post - the documentary was called ‘Going Ape’ either by National Geographic or Discovery channel
By the way I didn’t mean for that to sound ‘othering’ but I wanted to know if you were speaking from your observations as a man or your experience as a woman.
Nope, that’s it, it’s a bunch of woo or something that’s gotten him this far down the path. If we were supposed to be handed blueprints at birth as to this mate picking business I certainly was not given one. I certainly have no desire to go down the procreation route. He wants to sit here and wonder about how he can figure out the secrets of our genetic blueprints that he’s convinced we all have, he can search all day until he’s blue in the face. At best this universal blueprint will say, “You know, sex sounds pretty good right now. And maybe some food and water and a place to sleep. I bet that person over there could help me get all of those.”
It doesn’t make any sense to look at monkeys to understand human attraction. It makes sense to look at humans to understand human attraction. If you are baffled as to why some do everything “right” and still don’t make it, and others do everything “wrong” and do make it, well I think we’ve left quite a few hints in the thread for you as to why.
No. I do not believe you are Romeo Rose. But there are some similarities in attitude about women.
Mostly, I just think the article is a hilarious study in how NOT to attract women.
He/She was making fun of you, Gateway. Efficaciousy is not a word. Efficacy is the word you were looking for.
It’s a different form of manipulation and deception. Most people pick out clothing and groom themselves to emphasize their best features and minimize their worst. Perhaps that’s a form of deception, but it’s incredibly minor. Contrast the Pickup Artist, who is happy to manipulate and deceive a woman into thinking he is interested in her just to have sex with her. The PUA doesn’t care how the woman actually feels, or if she will be hurt by this- to him, she is just an object and/or a conquest. Once he is done with her he will cast her aside.
By the way, this behavior isn’t unique to men- it’s wrong (and unfortunately quite common) whether done by men or women. But the PUA movement celebrates and encourages behavior which really, really hurts people, and I think it’s very very wrong. People’s emotions are fragile and it’s wrong to manipulate them just for sexual gratification, or masculine feelings of conquest.
The thing is, Gateway, it is completely possible to do an interesting thread on what women find sexually attractive - you jut failed miserably at the attempt and the responses reflect that. You need a little more Cosmo and a little less National Geographic.
If your OP was something like “Ladies! What do you find most sexually attractive in a man?” and left out all the crap about tribes and monkeys and whatnot you would have been fine. Then you could have read the responses and seen if any commonalities emerge. But you, um, didn’t do that.
From observations as someone who can actually spell above a fourth-grade level. You can’t even when you try.
What word do you think I misspelled in my writing you chose?
There is no one right way to make a thread that I know of, but maybe if I woulda done that I would have gotten better responses. Maybe
Yes, not knowing the spelling of one word obviously means I am not above 4th grade with spelling.
BTW, where is the hostility coming from?
Of course there’s no one right way to word a thread, but there’s plenty of wrong ways, too. Coming across like an alien naturalist with a poor grasp of spelling is one of the latter.
