This is not for girls/women unless you are really curious. It might help you understand what is wrong with guys. Yes if I was a girl I would watch this too

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSbFFZcy1UI[/youtube]

There are 7 parts which you can find easily.

This guy is one of those PUA guys, but before you dismiss him watch the videos all 7. He doesn't even really talk about women.

Please don't comment unless you watched it all. There is more to it than is online, but it is a good starting point. This actually makes sense and isn't nonsense PUA crap.

I'm starting to watch just out of curiosity

But I don't like this man. He's not comfortable. He's acting. He looks like a frat kid who is trying to front.

I quit.

The vid is just the set up for the program & the set up didn't seem to go anywhere. Not going to bother with the other parts

I'd prefer a neat summary than a bunch of long videos. Cheers.

Is some kind soul willing to write a summary?

He talks about being a "man". How most men today are not "men", in the truest sense of the our ancestors. Hence why their is the "alpha" distinction nowadays for guys who are natural with women.

He talks alot about insecurities that guys have and where they stem from, and our real lack of "guidance" in modern society for becoming a man.

He talks alot about how every ancient and modern "uncivilized" group of people had/has rituals for guiding the "boy" into becoming a "man" involving tests of mental heart and willpower. But today we don't really have that, and alot of older guys still have immature mindsets that are preventing them from being successful.

LOOK I am relate quite a bit with what he is saying. He isnt talking about how to talk to women. He isn't talking about how get over your fear of approaching women. I REALLY Believe he is talking about the ORIGINS......the CORE of the issue. This isnt PUA. This is something more deep.

This is the first material that I have seen that has actually made sense!! ! That is why I am posting it. I have read quite a bit of PUA stuff before and this isn't that. This is organic.

I watched it all the way through just because I was curious on what Dave's coming up with these days, hadn't really read or looked at his stuff in a while mainly on what he talks about - didn't want to be someone else, but, wanted to know what.

I think a lot of people are saying the same thing pretty much - its really integrity that's under attack, unfortunately...(waits for the boohs and hisses)... that comes hand in hand with today's liberalism on so many angles, and that's not at all to say that religion is it or where its at, that creates its own problems all too often IMO. Its the victimhood culture, the 'accept yourself for nothing or you're a failure in our eyes', and yes - its the discarding of men as having any legitimate role, someone else I was listening to on the radio a few days ago put it this way - that men in their 20's are acting like teens, sitting in the living room playing videogames, not because they're necessarily desiring to be irresponsible but because they've been given no way to step forward or no new paradigm to step into, the way he put it is that men feel like they aren't needed and in that they end up in a quandary over who or what they are for a long time. Just like women will often enough even date older and older guys because they can't find what they want in guys who are themselves in their late twenties or early 30's. Society's got issues right now in assessing its fundamental structure and its causing agony for everyone. Men, women, no one wins.

And I think you just nailed the very reason on why he found the drive to try and learn this stuff - things weren't working for him. He literally seems to have one facial expression any time I've seen him on video.

This is what society says being a man is all about

It's the power in in his hands, his quest for glory, giving all he's got to fight to the top, & the hot woman by his side

Thank you. I think a lot of people are aware of these issues now. 'Our' culture is lacking in so many ways and this is just a wee corner of the whole picture.

So, did he have any ideas? What should we do? I guess make expensive 'how to be a man' internet courses? :lol:

Maybe I should make one.

Interesting points. Thanks for that.

By the way, fake front or not, it does make a difference. That body language of his is attractive to women (even if men don't find it special).

Hmm... I watched a bit of it with the sound off... I thought he was a bit cringy (I can see women thinking he was cute though- like a small dog trying to look tough.. that does work for some people).

Confidence is kind of hard to fake, but it does make people more attractive, even in a non-romantic way (I suppose 'impressive' would be a better word) if they know what they're doing. If you have nothing to be confident about though, too much of it is a bit grating.
