Hey guys,
Sorry to revisit this topic again. But is it just me or does anyone else feel this way too?
Recently, I think the forum is taking a turn for the worse. You have some posters who are starting threads and posting numerous messages per day which is filled with negativity, venting, doom and gloom, complaining, reinforcing and trying to impose and get justifications for their limiting beliefs.
As I see it many of them have problems that are outside the scope of seduction and probably need theraputic intervention. They seem to lack even the most basic social awareness and have no clue about how they are coming across.
The experienced and senior members have over and over again on many threads given them advice and encouragement but all they seem to do is double down on their beliefs and reinforce them with every new experience they have.
I know you always had people like this on forums but I feel the ratio is beginning to tilt. There are 9 low value, venting type posts to 1 good quality post.
In fact guys who actually post something from the field hardly get any engagement. They have 1 or 2 replies whereas guys posting about how hard it is for them, how bad their night was, how brutal it is out there etc get pages and pages of low quality back and forth arguments.
This forum had great stuff even like a year ago. I believe it really is the last truly seduction oriented active forum out there. But I see the same redpill, negativity, black pill colored stuff taking over here as it has already transpired on YT and other platforms.
Seriously nowadays you hardly see an inspiring post here and skimming through the new posts section is filled with venting and complaining type posts.
I just wanted to write this here because I think this forum has given me a lot and has helped me immensely on my cold approach journey over the last 2 years. I am very grateful for that and in turn I have tried to give back as much value as I can from my own experiences to help people on here who genuinely were looking for help and taking action with a positive attitude.
Special thanks go out to
@Skills @Chase @Atlas IV @alexlaguma @DoWhatWorks @topcat @Stark (who seems to have disappeared)
@Warped Mindless @Will_V @James D and some others I might have forgotten to mention. You guys have provided massive value and inspired me.
Also to the genuine action takers like
@gameboy @ChrisXKiss @bkw @barneystin @Aussiedude and several others, I have had great fun reading your exploits and going back and forth with you about this whole cold approach malarkey.
I am also calling you all out to ask you guys if you also feel the way I do about what has been going on on this forum of late and shift that I have noticed.
Because if not, then I know its just me. And if its just me then I need to probably part ways with this forum for a while and do an internal audit.
But honestly these days just reading the new and most replied to posts depletes me of energy due to the negativity, complaining and venting that is going on in each of them.
Makes me wonder if I am on a pickup forum or some blackpill/redpill whatever venting forum.
Pickup and seduction as I see it is a place for outliers who refuse to abide by the limitations that society and the masses places on us and who want to rebel against that and get success against the odds and enjoy results that are mostly out of the reach of common men.
Its a sad thing to see that in this niche place where we take pride in winning against all odds regardless of the hand we are dealt in life and making the best use of our circumstances. Nowadays it seems to have turned into a breeding ground for validation of limiting beliefs, negativity and complaining.
Looking to hear your thoughts and hoping that this forum does not end up on the trajectory I feel its heading towards and instead can continue to remain the last bastion of guys who are not content with being normal and instead are inspiring each other to grow and improve and get the results they desire.
