153374055_e2ce6493aaI was having a conversation with some guys about the seduction community this past Saturday night.

These were guys that had read up on a bunch of material, read “The Game”, etc.  We were sharing our thoughts on the techniques mentioned in that book and a lot of the techniques that have come and gone in the seduction community.

I want to make a comment about the seduction community and how it came to be.  The seduction community started out during the late 80′s/early 90′s.  Feminism was rampant and the pendulum of political correctness had swung WAAAY over to an almost anti-male sentiment.  I feel like there are still some lingering after-effects of that time even today, but for the most part, the era of extreme male bashing and feminazism has past.

I study this stuff for my own results, my own self-improvement. Frankly, I don’t care where I am getting the information or inspiration. If it works and helps me improve myself, then I am all for it – even if the method is “unpopular” or “outdated” by community standards.

Let’s look at some of the trends in this area of self-improvement, from the dawn of the “seduction community”:
