Is Pickup Misogynistic?
The seduction “Community” as a whole has a pretty bad rap. Even if it is responsible for helping thousands of men become happier, healthier, better boyfriends and husbands…it has also done its share of damage.
There will always be a tribe of women haters inside a movement dealing with attracting women. It’s precisely the inability to attract a mate that leads men to see women as objects to be possessed. They (women) have always been just out of reach, so now’s the time to get revenge! (Nerd think.)
In this modern, post-feminist age, you aren’t supposed to share your masculine traits for fear of being labeled “creepy” or getting slapped with a sexual harassment charge. These charges stem from guys not having game. They leer, the stutter, they make incongruent comments and stalk. No wonder they’re afraid to express themselves.
Then you get these backwards philosophies being posted on blogs and forums written by incredibly intelligent and persuasive personalities. It’s like the blind leading the blind.
Every few months I get hateful mail from some random internet person, usually a woman, who thinks my writings are misogynistic, deceitful, manipulative and sexist.
I do not promote hatred of women. I will make fun of them sometimes, but hey, I make fun of everybody. This is my view…
Being a man does not make you right.
Being a woman definitely does not make you right.
I get that it’s tough to be a girl. I know many. We’ve spoken about it. I live with a black man. You think women have it rough? Try being a young black male. I’m a young white male and the world is my oyster. I know this.
Anyway I don’t believe that meeting and dating a variety of women is misogynistic. There’s no hate here. However I don’t believe all men and women are equal. We have equal human rights: The right to make a living, to speak our minds, to travel freely. But as a guy teaching men how to attract women, I need to take a stand. I need men to be on the pedestal, just for a little while. Why? Because women are attracted to leaders. I am a fan of Nietzsche.
Here’s the real question. Do guys use women for sex? Do they use them for their bodies and then never call them back?
Yes. I’ve done it. Your brother has done it. Your father has done it. If they haven’t, they are probably pretty misogynistic. Is it right or wrong to do so? Hey. Who am I to judge or try to quantify the needs and desires of another? I’ll teach anyone that wants to read and pray they aren’t they next Ted Bundy.
I can’t make men not hate women. Haters gonna hate. But I do not promote that ideology on my blog.
I believe than any man who learns how to attract the women he wants, through education, work ethic and bold, direct, action, will ultimately learn to love humanity on a deeper level than most can comprehend.
If you hate women it’s probably because you feel wronged, or abused.
Let it go.
Women aren’t Madonnas and they aren’t whores. They are humans with strengths and flaws. Sometimes they get royally fucked over too…but don’t we all?
On my way to my writing spot today I see this dude riding his longboard and waving me down. I recognize him as a guy I used to do restaurant work with.
“Hey!” He says. “It’s the guy that taught me everything I know about women!”
I just laugh. “How’s that going for you?”
“Great. I have a girlfriend. I’m just going to meet her.”
I rest my case. Even though I often preach concepts like teasing, take away’s, chauvinism and value judgements…in the end…it works. Women are attracted to certain ways of being. If you need to fake confidence in order to become confident…so be it. If you need to date lots of women to get there…so be it.
Douchey? Maybe.
Arrogant? Perhaps.
Proud? Definitely.
Hateful? No, not at all.
