I’m going to be very candid and straight up here.
Lately, I have slowed down my contributions to Pick-up Evolution. This doesn’t mean it’s permanent… it’s just what has happened.
The truth is, I love this site: I love the success it has had so far, I love our readers and I love that we have been able, from time to time, to improve a man’s life for the better.
But my life has shifted since I started writing for PuE. My outlook on life and what I contribute to the world. My outlook on the community has shifted too.
I’m going to cut right to the chase: The more that I think about the concept of a “seduction community”, the more I am fucking disgusted by it.
“Edge!!! What are you saying??? You have the #1 most trafficked seduction website up right now! Are you just going to abandon it?”
Definitely not.
I am wholeheartedly in support of helping men succeed with women. I think that is a sacred and honorable thing for a person to do – to help others get more joy in their relationships and to, overall, make the world a better place.
But when I think about community terms, “seduction lingo”, I am just nauseated. I will never “sarge”. I refuse to DHV… what a retarded idea. And I am not going to do a routine to get myself into a woman’s pants.
Again, I am absolutely, positively 100% in men improving their relationships, but the seduction community is not the way. It is riddled with community lingo that sounds good on the surface, but embedded within it is an agenda which is not my own. And most of the time, that agenda is outside of my own integrity and beliefs.
This isn’t a moral stance from the point of view that picking up women is wrong. Picking up women is fine in it of itself… if the guy’s a good guy and treats women well, he should pick up as many women as he wants.
But the seduction community’s way of going about it is bottom feeding!!!
Here’s an analogy:
A beggar can shake a can and fill it with money by the end of the day. He can even get more money if he rents a wheelchair or a cane or bruises his face and covers it in band-aids. But his success is from him pushing people’s sympathy buttons. At the end of the day, he is still a beggar, still a bottom-feeder, putting on a show to earn scraps who were unfortunate enough to get their buttons pushed. These “beggars” are not masters of their destiny, they are the lowest rung on the ladder of contribution to the world. It’s nothing grand – it’s bottom-feeding.
To take it further, the implied message of most
of the community is how to trick people into thinking you’re not a piece of shit. This is fucked on two levels: it implies that the student IS a piece of shit and it implies that he needs to trick people. Sure, Style and Mystery and all the charismatic instructors give you reasons you need to do things their way, but really boil it down: they are saying you need to trick people.
For example, Mystery and Style say that you MUST put a false time-constraint on your approach because THEY had more success with it. Really? Oh, so we should believe it then, because we’re too chicken-shit to try a different approach.
Fuck that – I am not a bottom-feeder, I am not a piece of shit. And frankly, I’m through with following credos to trick the world into thinking I have the “value” of a celebrity… If I’m going to put in effort, I am going to follow a method where I actually BECOME a valuable man. One who truly contributes REAL value to making the world a better place in some way, however small or large. It is my belief that great women and great sex are bi-products of men leading great lives and EARNING great success.
I would like to put out stuff that inspires men to be great men that contribute true value to the world and exercise the greatest strength any guy really has: their laser-focused ambition and direction. I think it’s immature to wear a bunch of funky outfits and talk like a big shot if you have NOTHING to show for it. To me, it is outside of integrity to do it.
That’s not to say that guys can’t get laid doing it, but for me, it feels dirty and empty.
