It is not news that I have an overly critical stance towards the commercial pickup/seduction community. Too many guys completely lack skills, and this includes some of the bigger names.
Some days ago I received an email newsletter from
, one of the internet marketing "gurus". He gives rather sensible advice, but his most recent email clearly indicated what is wrong with the whole "making money on the web" thing. His core message was, in a newsletter with the title "Wise Words for the Rank Beginner":
Quote:
I personally find this statement sickening. There are so many self-proclaimed experts out there that it is almost enough to not take anything at all seriously you find on the internet, no matter the field or niche. Similar advice was given in one of the chapters in
, which can be roughly paraphrased by "become an expert by proclaiming to be one. Read three books in your field, summarize them on your website, give a talk at a university, and use this to get media coverage."
In the seduction industry, there are way too many people that couldn't get laid with the literal "thousand bucks in a whore house", but never-mind that, as long as the sales copy is catchy. No matter if those people make money or not, the current situation is a lose-lose for all parties involved. Thankfully, in the seduction community more and more people seem to get fed up.
About a year and a half ago I made
, in a time when you barely found critical voices. These days, it's not just singular opinions. Recently, an "anti-community" has formed, which gathers on PUAHate.com. While I perceived it originally as a place of hatred, there are nowadays many critical articles. You might want to check it out, if you find yourself trapped in a state of guru-worshipping. My greater hope, though, is that this community as a whole will evolve.

Interesting find, Dimitri. Although he is subtly advertising himself - but why not?

it's more than falling for the marketing and buying something, it's the wish to be someone else, and some community gurus offer you an alternative identity. it's far beyond 'buying stuff foolishly'. it's a CULT.
also, people are "blind" because they learn everything through the internet. if they would learn about the gurus ONLY from watching them in real life (even on video), they wouldn't fall for any of them.

Unfornutately, with the way society is structured, that's how most things work
That is a great quote about Finding the Land of the Blind where you can be king. I mean most industries are complete scams in the sense that they do nothing and provide nothing. The community really isn't different. Its just how it works
