Some things I've learned about people and women

Maybe. I used to be exactly like that, though. I grew my hair out until it looked like a mop on my head, had bad, untreated acne, couldn't talk about anything besides my narrow interests (this is STILL hard, but I've become much better at it), and girls scared the s**t out of me so much so that I couldn't talk to them for more than a few minutes.

There isn't. That's why these theories are mostly information all NT's know. I think lots of the gurus are exploiting the desperation of NT guys with social anxiety/horrible self-image and aspies who have very little experience with women. 90% of "the community" are aspies or NT guys with social anxiety. The other 10% are just players that want it all and are susceptible to marketing tactics. I have a good friend with either undiagnosed asperger's or some form of serious social anxiety that paid ~$3,000 to go to a "bootcamp" where some famous guru taught a bunch of people how to approach women. He didn't get any better and is $3,000 poorer now.

because he had the BIG MIND, as opposed to the big other thing. he was so big-brained that through sheer cerebral brute force he was able to be charismatic in his own way.

Utilization of these ideas does not mean you intend on going through women carelessly, nor even getting with as many women as possible. Really, it's the same thing as the advice that gets said on this forum, for the most part.
The line existed long before that movie. And although it is cliche, it is as equally true as the other two. It's a short line to encapsulate and describe an important, complex set of ideas, and is extremely relevant to a huge fraction of the posts on this forum.

There aren't rules. There are trends. And that's generally what this stuff recognizes. Per what I said in an earlier reply, by nature, relationship advice, dating advice, and even PU theory, is based on stereotypes. It's the nature of the beast. The fact that no single answer is it, and that everyone is different, is a given. If you're trading ideas on the intarwarbs about solving a relationship problem, or figuring out how to flirt with a guy or girl, then you're speaking in generalized terms by necessity, and those generalizations are the rule, for the sake of the discussions and explorations. Once you step away from the computer, it all becomes guidelines at best. This is known, expected, given. No one credibly believes in RL rules.
Sheesh.

I feel for the guy - The marketeers in there really know how to hit all our buttons, make you want what they claim they can give. A very strong siren lure....
Even if something could be gained from it.... $3k? God. Who was the marketeer in question?

He really got nothing from it though? Hows he doing?
