The sad part is that I think only 1 or 2 people watched the video besides me. Its a beneficial video to watch.

It's the mentality that women are special creatures or something. Alot of men treat them like pets and real women resent you for this.

There are some men who treat women like pets (I don't think it's a lot, thankfully). But I'm really not getting that vibe from Geekonychus's or Grimdalus's. It would be hard to have that attitude while simultaneously writing their posts. I sure would resent being treated like that but I am not getting that vibe. Unless that's a woman on Geekony's head. :lol:

I through 5 and a half minutes of this video. I'm sorry I know this guy is being truthful, and I agree you can't get a girl by being "the nice guy" but I also believe that if your a flashy DB then your only going to get the wrong kind of girl. It's nice to think about but when you get right down to it we are all individuals and each individual will feel a different attraction towards different people. Despite what he says we are not cavemen anymore, fewer and fewer people accept the alpha-male mentality and would rather go on personal instinct then the behavior of one person. One thing I do agree with is that yes you must be more aggressive if you are to attract a mate, but that can be interpreted a number of different ways.

In the end not all girls are attracted to bad guys, in the end all girls are attracted to whatever guy they want to be with, if they just so happen to be a flashy DB, then they are, but minorities differ. I'm in the fringe minority of people who are aggressive and sometimes flashy, but we know when to be cool, and we know how to respect women. I've never been laid or had a girlfriend but I can tell you that each relationship is formed under different circumstances. Now of course I haven't been ballsy enough to ask a girl out, but I'm getting there.

I like what this guy has to say, but the fact that he presents his information in a blunt guttural manner with little support just shows me that he doesn't really have a clue what he is talking about. I don't know maybe I need to watch the rest of the video.

I see the video as bending the truth to fit the guy's mindset.
On top of that, instead of looking at the guy's core they simply analyze what behaviour helps them score women and label the behaviour instead of the person.
I could go into depth about the pros and cons of this video but I don't think some dude who uses a voice changer to sound deep, and badly shops Clooney's head onto Mr. Universe is worth more than a minute of anyone's time.

Even if he was legit, he should change his name if he wants to be taken seriously. I would never take advice from someone who sounds like an item on a taco bell menu.

By the way, Geeko, I still dont know what a twat-waffle is, but it sounds delicious :lol:

He doesn't use a voice changer to sound deeper.

But keep doing what you all are doing. I'm glad the game is going good for you.

I managed to tolerate about 3 minute's worth before the urge to throw up almost overwhelmed me. To me, he sounded like the kind of annoying guy I've met in the pub a few times. The kind of dried up, crazy junkie or alkie that the regulars just roll their eyes at and newcomers are polite to long enough for them to escape. He used a voice-changer to achieve that effect?! 8O

Maybe the video took a surprising turn after the first four or so minutes, but I'll never know, as I stopped so much as giving the video a chance when he began referring to women as 'resources' and 'impregnable' because 'that's what it's all about, really'. It might be technically applicable in the 'Darwinist' way he was looking at it, but that kind of went out of fashion when we decided to put 'Warning: Hot!' on all of our coffee cups. Possibly before that; I'm not entirely sure. I don't think anyone who treats 'The Game' as...a game...should be spreading their 'wisdom', to be honest. If you're looking for what could analogically described as cheat codes and pro-tips, you probably aren't looking for healthy relationships.

What the Supreme guy and his pupils don't seem to take into consideration is not everyone likes to play games, or more importantly play other people.
Yes, there is a chance people might play us but it doesn't mean we feel the need to play back.

It doesn't talk about "getting over" on other people like you make it seem. Do what you do though.

Well man, superficially adjusting things that make it look like you are a certain person that you aren't, is very much like when you play a video game and something doesn't work so you try a different conversation dialogue until you achieve the outcome you want. It's not got anything to do with what you really mean, are really like, just the end result. That's the same as a sport...playing to win by any means possible.

So yes, it's not about getting the one up in this case, but it's still playing people. In essence, tricking them into liking you.
How many relationships has this guy had must you ask, and if he's had many why does he have trouble maintaining them?
Why does this advice come from SINGLE men and not taken men? Surely taken men would be the best people to give advice to a single person?
There's a lot that doesn't add up with PUA and Romance Gurus' spiels.

This guy has a girlfriend/wife that frequently appears in his videos.

He also shows many pictures of him with women in his videos and different conversations he has with women on Facebook and emails. He's not a pick up artist man.

He doesn't teach trickery at all. I don't get how you think what he said is superficially adjusting things? This dude knows what he is talking about.

I'm sure his advice works for a particular subset of women, and if that's the kind of woman you want in your life then all the power to you.
I'd like to understand his videos in the way that you seem to but I don't think I ever will if I'm honest. I've now listened to the whole thing and most of what you feel his "message"is about didn't resonate with me.
