Alright, I have been absent from the Boards for a while; only catching glimpses of what's been going on with these Boards and I'm seeing a particular trend.
Guys with minimal/average success are starting to think they know everything. I've seen more disagreeing among guys who are still learning and guys who have long-since learned. Students arguing with teachers about their area of expertise.
The rankings on the Boards are in place for a reason and they accurately reflect your know-how socially, and seductively speaking. I'm not looking to call people out or point fingers at anybody but there is definitely palpable tension between members of different ranks. As you grow in rank, the general trend is that you only answer posts where you have enough experience in the field to talk about it; hence, you won't see me talk about things like bar-game and will see me talk about day-game. Why you will see college graduates offering advice about college and life thereafter.
You can take the advice with a grain of salt but if you're the one asking the questions then it's in your best interest to take the advice for what it is without questioning the integrity, character, or credibility of the person.
I left this site once because of bullshit like this, and others have as well. In doing so I gained a new perspective on things and understand that those who complain and argue with the higher-ups only last so long. It's like the recruits at bootcamp who simply can't make the cut.
Anyway, my point here is that when you start to feel like you "know it all," and that you "understand" seduction and socializing then you need to take a step back and re-evaluate your actual ability. I learned this the hard way when I started to first become a good pool player and the key to improving is understanding your current level. When you think you know more than you do then that's when your progress starts to falter and you can't figure out why.
