@isildur1,
I know you want to provide examples and tactics to @AbWongX.
I commend you for trying to help him. Just don't want to see you exhaust yourself on a debate like this.
You are not going to sway him with these for now. He does not have field experience. At this point, everything is 100% hypothetical to him.
Until he is out in the field, his opinions will be shaped by sheer volume of material consumed than by anything else. He's been consuming heaps and heaps of looksmax and black pill stuff. That is going to be his reality until he gets real world feedback that contradicts it.
With a guy in this stage, arguments to change his mind end up being Plato's allegory of the cave. He is tied to the post staring at shadows and you are telling him there is this whole world out there with all these colors and shapes and so on and... it doesn't compute.
The best thing you can do is tell him, "Look, they're going to cut your ropes in 30 days [or however long it is]. Don't do anything rash until you're out of the ropes and can leave the cave and look around and see for yourself."
I would also say, just in general, trying to convince guys that pickup works who are not in the field is a losing battle.
(my whole thing with Wong here has just been "dude, don't go slicing and dicing up your body yet. Just get some field experience, try to keep an open mind as you get it, then make your decisions from there" -- I just hate to see people go potentially fuck themselves up for zero reason. It's tragedy fuel)
When you get guys telling you, "I'm not in the field and don't have field experience but I don't think this could work for me," you've just go to tell them "Go get in the field FIRST... then report back."
