Mark is the typical semi-natural guy who tried game but didn’t understand it so he just bashes it while saying his way is better but his way just has the issues game was supposed to correct or does the same thing as the game advice. I talked to someone who used to game with him and he said Mark did good because he had natural charisma and verbal wit. He’s also a tall white guy and even in the book basically admits he went after girls in his league. What he doesn’t get is just telling some guy without those natural skills who is talking to girls out of his league (either out of necessity, because his league is low, or ambition) to just be vulnerable and be himself is not going to work. If he just said the book was for complete beginners to take a minimalist approach to get early results, that’s fine, but he bashes the rest of the game movement and tells you to be happy when you plateau. The book has many examples where he bashes PUA advice but then later suggests the same thing but just in a more vague way, showing he didn’t understand that was the point of said advice. He also started this annoying trend

Get hormones checked. It may not be low testosterone. If it is low testosterone that is a health issue even aside from libido that needs to be addressed.

he always looked like that

If you’re not going to share it, this is a useless topic

I am sick of Mark Manson. He acts haughty and above everyone else, then gives the most basic no-brainer analysis and acts like it’s some profound wisdom but usually miss the actual issue entirely. He also constantly contradicts himself and has double standards but because he takes the non-controversial middle ground and tries to sound reasonable no one calls him out on it, but nothing he says is particularly useful as a result. I watched part of it, Mark won the debates but some of the manosphere guys did better than I thought they would. Still they’re defending a weak position and miss out on some lay ups to counter Marks points.

I’m not quick to defend him, I just saw the full context of that video a while ago and what she said after and it was deceptive. I didn’t defend any of the other accusations because I am unaware of any evidence they are false.

That’s out of context, in the full video she asks him to hit her harder, she also later said she wasn’t abused, it’s a bdsm thing.

Then explain women who stay with deadbeat boyfriends and husbands for years

That is bad, you shouldn’t be getting recognized approaching people, you are doing it too much in too small an area

You can find a 90 year old woman charming, doesn’t mean you’ll find her attractive.

None of those people have much power

Because they don’t believe the US will follow through and think they need the strait as a result and it’s a ploy to take the strait from them

Wars don’t work anymore. Look at what is happening to Russia in Ukraine and the US in Iran. If China attacked Taiwan they’d implode because Chinese parents need their sons as their retirement. China would try to seize Taiwan with a more nuanced and intelligent strategy than brute force war.

nah, purposeful smiling was one of the first codified pickup techniques

I heard David Deangelo said not to smile in one of his courses, that’s terrible advice.

90% of what Todd teaches is something he learned from earlier teachers 10-20 years ago but just tried to explain with more nuance. Not ground breaking creative genius.
