So when I was growing up they were a couple of seduces and alpha males that I really looked up to, Roosh was one of them, someone even more alpha than roosh was a guy called Maddox, he had a site called the greatest site in the universe, he was pretty red pill,and autored a bok called the alhabet of masculinity,
after sometime just like roosh and many other bloggers,he stopped writing blogs and started doing YouTube ,I guess maybe YouTube had more money,
just like many red pill writers .when I first saw him he really did not look like what I had expected when I was reading his posts,

When I was reading about seducers I just assumed that they were people who had their life together, I had always felt like seduction is more than just collecting lays ,you have to also have your life together,one of the seducers that I respect so much is seppuku because not only is he a good seducer but he has his life together, he has money ,he has value, he has dignity and he is an all round emotionally stable great guy,
I had always imagined a seducer to be like James Bond,socially savvy,emotionally unflappable and tight fundamentals.
Roosh looks like a bum and Maddox looks like a goblin, they did not seem to be people who are even remotely well off,
apart from lacking fundamentals,they also did not seem to be either socially savvy or emotionally stable,
Roosh had a meltdown and started talking about religion,, and when a co-host of Maddox slept with his ex-girlfriend,maddox had a meltdown, he cried,he fired his co host, and stalked and doxxed and trolled for an year,it reminded me of how mystery had a meltdown when somebody slept with his ex girlfriend,.
I know of a seducer in Kenya who has a blog that offers life advice yet he is a broke jobless weird guy with no fundamentals and an outrageously poor approach to lay ratio.
,all these things really make me start to lose trust in seducers,Chase seems legit,but man, I really don't know which guys are legit and which guys are just cool on paper but their lives suck in real life,
its like most gurus are either not even good seducers or they may be good seducers but do not have their shit together.
maddox and roosh and mystery really left me disenchanted,
what are your thoughts on this?

About Roosh, I read some of his stuff, but he never gave me the feeling of being "alpha". He always came across as disillusioned and not exactly positive about life. Compare that to the extremely practical write ups of guys like Teevster or Bacchus. There is a huge difference in vibe. You should have screened better.

Also I really dislike the word "guru". Makes it all sound too mystical for me.

I've always heard negative buzz around Roosh's work. Along the lines of red-pill, angry, etc. I'm sure he has some valid points and interesting perspectives to offer. But when it comes to "negative" work like that, I always avoid it. Same with MGTOW.

I don't want to intoxicate myself with negative thoughts about women and life. I know about the capacity for humans to do ill. Not just women, I note. But there's capacity for good. For me, it's good to be aware of the bad. But no reason to stew in it and shape your mind and identity around it.

These groups never give me the vibe of fulfilment and contentment.

By comparison, Chase's material is pretty chill in vibe. Practical vs stewing in hate and vile. Same for Mark Manson too.

Don't know about Maddox, but I'd wager roosh got no more than a small handful of lays, and only as a result of 'tourist game'. (We all know that going to say a poor part of Eastern Europe or Philipines is pretty easy to get laid for an American)

The only thing I liked about Roosh is his writing style, and also that he was relatively realistic and didn't fill your head with dreams in regards to what was possible with 'game'

But he is definitely a very strange guy.

Roosh is a reactive angry guy who is probably not a very good seducer either. His vibe is horrible and dissimilar to guys who actually get laid, he has also always been spewing conspiracies and vehement generalizations that simply do not stand up to scrutiny.

Also this guy is over 40 years old now and last time I checked he had no job, no relationship and no kids, so his "traditionalism" is just bullshit rationalization. An average chode with a job, a wife and 2 kids is far more "traditional" than Roosh.

As for "good seducers having their life together" - this is a cognitive bias, more specifically to believe that because a person masters one skill, he is generally successful. This is NOT something you can or should assume. Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect

Why would you blindly trust anybody in any area, specially puas or former puas, is silly, i have never trusted any seducers, i just read what they have to say and i test it to see if it works, can't care less about anything else.... Is like a lot of dude are looking for a daddy figure, i never understood this....

Same. It's the most efficient way to confirm they're full of BS when the girls find the verbals as cringey as you do when you read them! (ross jefferies + mysterymethod spring to mind, but there's lots more)

i think ur pretty spot on about him only being able to get lays because of that novel tourist effect.

i think this is a valid point if someone is only a seduction guru,but most of these guys inevitably enter into the life coach territory,the moment you start teaching other people how to live their lives i feel that at the bare minimum you have to have your life together.

you are yet to learn how to disagree without being disagreeable

how i see it you can do one of two things.

A:look at this comment,be introspective and see that indeed,had you just typed." i just read what they have to say and i test it to see if it works",your point would have been exactly the same,all extra emotional drama was unneccesary at best and rude at worst.

B:keep gaslighting,and defending your unnecesary rudeness.

A or B,it really doesnt matter ultimately,i am too old to trade insults with a stranger from halfway across the world.
you are exactly the type of seducer with very poor social skills that I was talking about in this post.
if you can not talk without being rude please kindly refrain from commenting on my posts in the future.
stay safe and have a nice day.

i was not disagreeing with you, i made a point, see i used follow david d double your dating.... They used to say he was a fraud, he had an ugly wife etc... His advise help me, that is all i cared (i had no idea about all the other stuff)...

Incorrect, you can look at my posting history and my style of delivery and if you would have done that, and you were not this sensitive. The guys that know me know that i was not being RUDE or disagreeable this is just my style.. You assumed incorrectly that i was being rude (i was not) and disagreeable (i was not either).... I just gave an opinion on field testing instead of looking blindly at gurus....

Incorrect i do not have poor social skills so that is a total lie, i can go to any forum, chat, facebook group or venue and take over and become the most popular person virtually or in person, and this with tons of grammatical errors and that is FACT, you mad? , you are projecting, i never insulted you the word "silly" in the context that i used was not an insult, and again that is how i speak... And you are not a mod to tell me what to do here last time i check, but yes i am out, i can totally see that you were a roosh follower, so in that you have it right i should have known that you can get very angry over little stuff, sorry about the lost of your mentor when he was busy being mad at women for being women, i can guarantee you probably what you miss... Again why are you this sensitive?

Long ago I came round to thinking that if these pua 'gods' came across as wierd to me then that's most probably the way they came across to girls and so I can discount their advice.

Problem is nerds relate best to other nerds so they want to believe a nerd can be great with girls with little effort.

If you are so anti pick up and anti-pua (weird nerds) then why are you here?

I think so too,I dont know wether they get lays or not,but I think there i something to be said of being cool.
I knew a couple of weird guys who got lays even with a lot of issues,(emotional instability,quick tempers,dead end jobs,drinking habits,).
There are people like sasha daygame who I personally felt was too high energy (and maybe attention seeking?),a seducer who I think embodies cool is james marshall.
regardless of getting lays or not,I definetely would not want to be thought off as weird.

I feel like you guys have become so confrontational (and defensive),I dont think he was at all anti pick up,i do think he is anti weird.
I am also anti weird.
I like gc because of the emphasis on fundamentals,nice clothes,walking with a straight back,nice hair.,in other words
a stereotypical sexy man james bond,
There are no doubt people who get girls with baggy jeans and slang (black americans) and there are people who get girls with poor fashion and bad posture (nerds and geeks),I think a teacher loses credibility to me, when he looks like a weirdo(ross jeffries and mystery),wether he can get lays is irrelevant,because i do not want to be thought of as a weirdo

hey,I will just chalk our disagreements up to us having come from different environments ,I will assume you dont intend to be rude,when you talk how you talk.
thanks for taking the time to respond.
your advice boils down to " experiment and keep what works",i agree 100 percent.

This is getting close to trolling, probably that is why people are getting "confrontational".

First it is your own misconception that people who are good at seduction have their life in order or are "normal" by society's standards. There is no correlation here at all. They may be normal people, they may have their life in order, they may not. You can still learn seduction from people who are not well-adjusted generally.

Second I don't know what you are talking about when it comes to fundamentals. Peacocking that gets you opened 20 times a night usually looks VERY weird compared to that guy in suit you are describing.

Nobody here advocates bad posture, in fact I have written extensively on how to avoid exactly that. Neither Mystery nor Ross have bad posture.

That James Marshall guy is definitely a major weirdo himself, but you are maybe the judge on what sorts of weirdness that are to be tolerated?

Now we count 3-4 guys the last week who have repeatedly complained about pickup being "weird".
