Why PUA Forums are Essentially Useless-GLL

[Franky]

Any one heard about Good looking loser? he is really good. His pickup style is similar to Chase but he puts less weight on conversations.

I agree with his post but Girlschase is somewhat different because people give good advice here. On the other hand when you have most other PUA forums it is recycled and generic game advice and PUA nonsense. That said GLL has some of the most straightforward advice. I wish his college guide had come out when I started college, it would have changed my entire college experience which has been a disaster.

The problem with PUA forums in general is pretty much what he sums up in that blog posts...

Your typical forum is just full of unsuccessful guys giving the same advice over and over that they've read in a book but never put into practice.
So when answering a question, it's not coming from experience, it's coming from "Mystery said to talk over your shoulder... then she'll sleep with you" but it's so far off the mark.

I do like it here. I feel there's plenty guys who DO speak from experience and know their stuff.

I had an experience a long time ago. I was on a local PUA forum when I first heard about it and decided to attend a meetup. People portrayed a certain personality and level of skill online that I thought they'd be awesome guys. The truth was, I actually snuck out of the bar I met them at. They were seriously weird and misguided dudes, all trying to out-alpha each other. I tended to avoid any situations like that since.

Once you think about it, would a guy who lives the social lifestyle that involves sex with a lot of different women be spending any time on any forum? Your average person is likely spending most of their internet time on:

- Instagram
- Facebook
- Porn
- Hulu
- Twitter
- Pintrest
- Reddit
- Youtube
- Google
- Wikipedia
- News sites
- Yahoo

PUA might have become famous due to a VH1 show but to most people it is a small subculture, most people don't even know it exists. Naturals are too busy living their actual life (talking to people, being social, getting work done, etc.) to check forums. I even notice it with myself, as my social life gets better and as soon as I ended up getting a girlfriend I spend much less time online. I have been happier for it too, seems like to me that most guys on PUA forums fit the description of keyboard jockey.

Guys that live terrible love lives, are probably virgins, and have no experience with women but want to tell the entire world how to get laid. It isn't as bad as some forums where you have guys constantly shoving "looks are everything" down the throat of everyone. All in all, most people with healthy social lives and good love lives don't spend time on internet forums. Majority of the time they are too busy meeting friends, going out, and getting laid rather than talking about it.

Once you think of it, it is kinda good and bad. We never really get to hear from real naturals because they are too busy getting laid but at the same time it is good that they don't set foot on most internet forums. Majority of PUA forums I have lurked on (and never bothered to join) had members who were basically nerds debating some complicated game theory. It was more politics and power games than actual discussions. Members trying to win favors from the community and moderators rather than just posting good content.

What is even more fucked up is that these loonies are the ones trying to help out your average joe looking for advice and end up ruining his life in the process by giving him terrible advice.

Thanks for posting that video. I only watched a few minutes of it before looking at his other stuff. He might think forums in general are useless but a lot of concepts that are preached on this site are very apparent in his pick up videos and talk sessions.

It's funny I was watching his one video on the different types of rejections; in particular he gets into a convo with this girl and then at the end asks for her #... but she throws out the BF line. Something along the "are you single" line could have saved him some time if used earlier on! Although i know these vids are for learning and seeing how interactions develop so it was fun watching it.

Back to the topic at hand... i don't think he has come across girl chase yet

I have met Mr. Rob and can attest that he is an even finer fellow in person than he is on the page
