Well, everything I wrote about negs are from his latest book. And he specifically says "it's not an insult" he even says "it's a backhanded compliment.
All the definitions I gave are his words not mine. Which brings me back to my original point (and the point he made in his book) that many many guys misunderstood what he meant
I've also quoted his words, just earlier ones. Inititally he called negs
"negative hits". And I think it's quite clear that he meant them as something
negative and as
hits to the girl's value/self-esteem.
He also called negs "
retaliation tactics".
You can check Mystery's archive here if you wish:

(It's in the first pdf from Mystery's archive, password is "fastseduction.com")
Not sure if he later changed his mind, or if he just made it sound more gentle to avoid potential backlash (look what happened to Julien from RSD).
I feel people want his method to be bad rather than actually giving facts based critics.
In my case:
1. I did initially believe in Mystery Method.
2. I've tried it and got very poor results.
3. I've seen others get very poor results from it.
4. I've seen people who went to workshops led by Mystery, Lovedrop and others get very poor results from it.
Also, I've seen pictures and videos of Katya, Mystery's girlfriend mentioned in "The Game", where she was rated "9.5".
Does she look 9.5 to you?
nopdnews.com
I think she's a common 6/10. Absolute maximum of 7/10. Certainly not any kind of top level beauty.
People shake heads, roll eyes and laugh at the idea she's supposed to be "9.5".
I think this does make Mystery look like a liar.
(It's Style who wrote The Game, but he's quoting Mystery's post there, in which Mystery calling Katya a "9.5". Page 379)
This also makes me wonder:
1. Mystery claims his method is geared towards seducing the hottest of women.
2. The same Mystery rates Katya a "9.5".

While I would call her a common 6, max 7.
Does this mean his method is really geared towards 6-7?
Anyway - do you understand why I have a negative, suspicious point of view?
And again, delivery and calibration. It's almost as if nobody sees the calibration part.
I understand the crucial role of calibration... But if some people who went to workshops done by Mystery, Lovedrop and other MM instructors also fail, then who has this elusive power of MM callibraiton and how hard it is to obtain it?
No. The primary problem negs try to fix is so you dont come across as just another suitor or put her on a pedestal. (Basically disqualify yourself and making her chase)
The problem of her not being open and not wanting to talk is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. If that's where you use it then it's not a surprise why it didn't work
This seems contrary to what Mystery himself wrote in the past about negs being "
retaliaton tactics".
"Retaliation" - so there must've been some bad behavior from woman's side that Mystery was retaliating for.
1. Perhaps Mystery realised what he was teaching doesn't really work that well. But to save his reputation, he could not simply say "oh I was wrong about negs, I was teaching bullshit". So he started telling people that by "negs" he actually meant normal teasing all along.
2. Perhaps Mystery still believes his initial view on negs, but presents it in a politically correct manner, so he doesn't get crucified in the media like Julien from RSD was.
Either way, this is a
retcon and initially it was
"retaliation tactics" and
"negative hits".
Mystery fans are dogmatic with his method and try to follow it to a tee - which is their biggest downfall.
They seem to stick with the worst part of the method: 7 hour rule, multiple dates, boyfriend game, excessive peacocking. All while being hugely miscalibrated.
I don't think 7 hour game, multiple dates and boyfriend game are the worst part of it.
7 hours rule, multiple dates as a rigid doctrine is stupid, but if somebody will fuck the girl later it's fine. Sometimes complications can happen in the meantime and opportunity can be lost, but very often simply the sex will happen - just later.
Boyfriend game is fine and I think easier for most people to do than sexual game.
The biggest problems I have seen:
1. Routines falling flat.
2. Negs falling flat or annoying girls, making the guy look weird.
Guys I've seen have either done moderate peacocking or no peacocking, so it wasn't a problem.
It's continually surprising to me how far from their nature people live out their conscious lives. Because I believe that many - if not most - people have such a dark side, that it is not just a useful element but also one that, when expressed in the right ways, centers and stabilizes someone's identity in a way that virtually nothing else can.
For me, the realization of it, the acceptance of it, and learning to express it functionally in both my everyday life and in my sexual life, was the key to achieving a strong and stable sense of self. Yet so many people seem to live in complete ignorance and/or denial of it, as if anything could really make sense without it.
Certainly there is something wonderful, "magical" about it - how it makes things "meaningful", how it somehow corrects things to fall into their place, etc etc. It is something
truly special.
But in my case not everything was so rosy - I was often torn between my instincts and "my normal self" and the outside influences. My instincts often "spoke" to me with feelings, impulses that were hard to understand or hard to implement and I didn't know what to do. I'm not complaining, but it wasn't always great.
Also, because I was "different", I had trouble in relations, interactions with others. I didn't like their superficiality and nonsense, and because I was a bit "different", I couldn't connect well with others. So I was the outcast.
It was much later, when I started to get intensive, animalistic sexual impulses, BDSM thoughts of totally dominating and humiliating the women, etc etc. And then I've started to reap rewards, but utilising that also required work.
I don't know how many other people have similar instincts. Perhaps some do, but they surpressed as they've failed to integrate them with their lives. But I also think many, most people are born "instinctively castrated". I was "different" already as a 5-6 year old kid - the difference certainly didn't come from my upbringing, I didn't learn it from anybody, etc etc. (But then again somehow a lof of women have strong submissive instinct/kink. Is it different for women and men?)
How does it look like in your case? Do you have animalistic sexuality, BDSM tendencies like me or something else? And how, when did it show itself, how was your "adaptation process"?
Yes, and it is also simply difficult to express such things in words that people do not apply some stereotypical meaning to. For example, I consider myself to be an aggressive person by nature. But if I say that, it conjures the image of someone out of control, with destructive ill-intent, when, on the contrary, I have found it to be something very useful, constructive, and self-affirming to my life.
I'm also quite agressive.
But it's not the same kind of agression like many other people have - who are emotionally unstable, have problem with heir ego or something like that. My agression is different and somehow "pure" and "healthy", not a sign of disorder.
My friends also have a similar opinion - they say I'm bit of a "psycho", "like a psychopath", but at the same time they like and trust me.
This is the perennial problem of seduction information, in my opinion. On the one hand, I fully understand that it needs to be practical. On the other hand, if it's too practical, it fails to transfer onto the user the full disseminated experience and opportunity for expression.
I don't think there is a good answer to this, except that 'to each his own', those who search for something will eventually find it.
Unfortunately I know many guys who searched hard and didn't find it. Many becoming weird or even delusional in the process.
My experience is that the best way is to have somebody good to go out with
regularly (going to a workshop is not enough).
In my case it were two naturals who went to PUA to see what it's all about (one of them knew of NLP through field of marketing and through NLP community learned of a local Speed Seduction rip-off). They came, saw PUA community is shit and left. But during the period of their interest, I've managed to befriend them and we stayed friends, kept going out.
That's exactly how a good sexual experience works, as I see it. It is a sort of 'regression' to a primal state of affairs in which everything is uncomplicated, free of conflict (because the roles of the man and woman are so polarized),
EXACTLY!!!
There is no conflict, between the roles are so polarised - I'm "everything" and the woman is "nothing". And women get ecstatic from this "being nothing". They feel....healed, mentally fixed by this. And deeply thankful.
My experience is that women deeply desire to be "victims" and "slaves", "property", "animals". They want to be "completely enslaved", "opressed", etc etc.
BTW I think the whole "alpha male" stuff, while going roughly in the good direction, is
horribly misguided. There's too much of ego in it, it's superficial, etc etc. I'm deeply convinced such things are writtten by people who never experienced the "real thing".
I think generally people mistake superficial, ego-driven, social dominance with instinctive, animalistic dominance. They pump their ego, feel somewhat better and think "that's it, I'm dominating".
Some people do "BDSM theatre" with whips, handcuffs and latex suits... But that is often superficial also. People often do BDSM because they think it's cool and edgy, not because they truly "feel it".
This kind of experience is in such contrast to everyday life, which is full of complications, confusions, unintuitive rules, and unsatisfying climaxes, that it can become almost the only true experience someone has of their own nature.
I find the everyday life and "normal" culture....bearable. As long as I'm not limited to it, as long as I have something else in my life. And as long as I don't have to spend too much time with the "normal people".
I've noticed for example that my "friendship compatibility" with old friends who have normal sexual life worsened. They have this "castrated" vibe on them. I still like them, I have sentiment for them but I can't help the fact that I perceive them instinctively as "pathetic losers".
I really don't want to feel this, but something in me feels contempt for them and kind of wants to....bully them, cuckold them....
Or self knowledge, perhaps?
I don't know. In my case, I didn't have any special upbringing, any kind of for example "close with nature" life, etc etc. I was born bit "different" and certain emotions, instincts started to just appearin adulthood...
I think natural predispositions play huge role in this. But on the other hand, so incredibly many women have strong submissive instincts....
Maybe it's different for women and men?
Maybe it's simply that women can passively discover their submissiveness by being dominated by the right man, while a man will almost certainly NOT be taught by women how to dominate them.
But then again, in my case it looks like it's inborn, genetic. Impulses just started to appear, like I knew things I didn't know. My real job was not to discover this, but to integrate it with the rest of my life.
Yes! Or,
1. X works well with women.
2. But there's no point even discussing it in this day and age, so just do Y regardless of how disfunctional it is.
I feel the "normal" relations are dysfunctional. I actually feel revulsion at the sight, at the thought of them.
As a experiment, I've just tried to listening to what two female psychologists are saying about relationships.

I
literally got a hedache. That is not a exagerration, I really got a slight headache. After like 3 minutes. I don't know how it's possible to get a headache after listening to something for 3 minutes, but somehow it is possible. It even wasn't the content, it was the fucking cretinic tone, the atmosphere - two stupid bitches thinking they're smart. I'm honestly surprised by my own reaction, but I felt the urge to physically beat them up.
From the "normal" point of view, my reaction is horrible and means I'm a evil, or somehow "sick" person. But from instinctive point of view, my reaction is I guess healthy considering the abnormality my brain has just witnessed in the two female psychologists.
BTW My girlfriend likes to mock modern psychology and relationships, feminism, etc. Some of her sayings:
"They say a relationship should be based on respect... I think that's very wise. Look at us! I feel most respected by you when you fuck me. That's why our relationship is so good - because it's based on RESPECT!". (plus: "would you like to show me respect [fuck her] right now? It's really important for out relationship.")
"They say a relationship should be based on mutual respect... I think that's very wise. Look - I respect you. And you respect yourself. So we both respect YOU. I think that's great MUTUAL respect!".
"They say communication is the foundation of a relationship. I feel that's very wise. Look at us - you say, I listen. We have PERFECT communication!".
Also:
"I'm too hot to be a feminist!" (Often to actual feminists, who are invariably vastly less attractive.

)
When there is complaining that men sexualise women. "I LOVE being sexualised!". Feminist: "You like being looked at like a piece of meat?" My girlfriend, with open-eyed enthusiasm "YES!!! OMG, I'm such a sexy piece of meat!!!". Optionally: "I think I will start touching myself!".
Her more serious views:
1. Looks are important, money is useful, but it's also crucial that a man is GOOD IN BED and also not a loser/cuckold type.
2. Most troubles in relationships are the man's fault - because he sucks in bed. Woman becomes frustrated and has no respect for him, so she's mean to him.
3. Being confident, dominant isn't worth anything if it isn't backed up by good sex.
4. If a man is good in bed, many faults will be forgiven.
5. If a man is poor in bed, many faults will be discovered and brought up.
6. Most girls are simply too ugly to keep a really good man, because such men are in high demand and a average girl "can't afford" one - so they compromise and they're frustrated afterwards. And it's a pathetic existence. (She knows about it from her average looking friends from school/college.)
7. Women have it harder than men, because we'll be satisfied with pretty much any hot woman, while women care a lot about our sex skills and personality, not just looks. And especially if a girl also want a guy who's comfortable financially, then finding and getting, KEEPING such a guy with all those traits can be very difficult. She says competition for high quality men is intense - for attractive women, while the average ones can't even hope to win.
8. She knows about the PUA community and she thinks it's bunch of losers and that I know it only due to some bad luck earlier in life. She says a lot of guys say a lot of different things to women and women don't pay so much attention to it. She says what counts are looks, money and in rare cases the guy has a exceptional vibe, but that's very rare. She says advice on "how to talk to women" is absurd and instead men should dress well, pay attention to grooming and get in shape physically. Her special tip is: men should dress to look RICH.
I went off-topic, but I think this is entertaining.
