And I will SURELY use this post if I ever face a loss of vital energy! This was genuinely a herculean task, writing this post!!! Great job! I've only read about 25% of it and I totally agree with you. I've acquired this way of thinking about what each sex seeks on the other after reading a chapter from the book "The Selfish Gene" by R. Dawkins (forgot the first name...). He discusses that each sex uses criteria to select a sexual partner based on external appearances. The final product is selecting a partner that maximizes the chances of survival of the offspring. A strong, healthy individual denounces that he has a strong immune system, and it is most likely to pass it on to the children, whereas a weak and ill individual may pass that illness to the offspring. This results in lost time -- the other partner could've used that time to help giving birth to the offspring from a healtier individual! This is a very biological-oriented view, but you may try to find a relation within the human species -- which you argumented reasonably, at least I haven't found any objections so far to your reasoning! I'm to blame for not having post on this subject already! I've tried to write a small post about this, which became an essay, and it got so big, which sections, and subsections and... oh damn, I simply gave up because I felt it would became so heavy that nobody would read it. Fortunately, you proved me wrong by showing that it can be elaborated in an interesting fashion. Great job! TCOY, DarkDream [This message has been edited by PortugueseMeatball (edited 01-14-2002).]
I've read a lot of Richard Dawkins books, am a great fan of Desmond Morris, and Edward O. Wilson (his book "On Human Virtue" I found fascinating). I have big science background and have found evolutionary psychology invaluable in understanding human beings. Meatball, go ahead and read the rest of my post: the heart and real crux of it comes later. --DD IP: 63.15.2.51 |

Hi DD,
I've read the remaining of your post. It's A+ as I expected from the few I've read before, and I'm glad!  What is really good about your post, I think, is that you didn't merely presented the hunter-gatherer possible mentality, but actually transposed it to the DJ behavior. Very well done! Although I only skimmed Dawkins' book I found it interesting (mental note: fetch it again). As for backgrounds, what's yours? Mine is considerably far from biology or psychology; I've graduated in physics, but I've allways found these subjects very interesting nevertheless... Living, breathing, thinking, walking things are certainly more interesting to watch than high-energy phenomena! It never ceases to amaze me... TCOY IP: 194.117.40.98 |

this is a very sexy posts, one of the best i have read here. I agreee completely. The AFC falls victim to his surroundings (the girls reactions) and fails to act with patience, while the DJ/Master Hunter creates his own destiny, decides the enviorment which he wants to live in,acts with patience never stressing, and ultimately has success with females.
Currently id say that i am in the middle of these two, but i now know what it truly takes to be what i want to be ---- a hunter. Thank you for this post it has the ability to be life changing for many people.

Very abstract ideas with the big picture in mind. These well-executed qualities are what separates this post from a typical tip post. Extremely entertaining and informative. Definite DJ Bible material. I especially like the AFC vs. DJ Hunter part; if you decide to revise this work, consider putting it earlier to keep readers hooked and entertained. Readers owe it to themselves to stay motivated and read the entire work. IP: 24.25.68.203 |

good job, i see you're point, and evolutionary logic has helped me too. It has been said before, and I agree.But I think the post you made on the legend of bagger vance was more worth it. this is older stuff whereas that post was gold. IP: 24.253.154.68 |

Nice Job DD!!!After a recomendation from WildThang and Taz, I looked for this post to help me get through a breakup. Boy did it hit the mark. "How is this emotion serving me?", "Is this fear justified/warranted?" is very profund and to the point. This was very well said with great examples. I look forward to reading your future tips and advice on things.

Good post Dark Dream. Well written.I especially like the analogy of the hunter who decides the to cease chasing the prey through difficult terrain but is satisfied by gaining better knowledge of the terrain covered thereby making a more efficient hunter for next time. Life experience cannot be bought. IP: 144.138.215.139 |

Good piece, DarkDream. The beauty of it is that you focused on what is going on inside the head of a MAN instead of a WOMAN.Though, I think sexuality is too big for evolution to handle. Why would a woman pass up the guy inventing the airplane to go for the guy who is boldly hopping around the hillside? Why is genius and all its varieties totally ignored by women? Why do women respond to decadent acts? Evolution doesn't really have an answer. The HOW TOs of getting women and being successful with women are now generally known. What I've been curious about these past few months is not the HOW but the WHY. WHY do women act like they do? What dark secret of nature compels them too? The answer is so... black that I wish I never knew. And I thought the paradigm-shift from the AFC fairyland was shattering. Best of luck and keep posting! ------------------ Pook Anti-Dump, Big Don, ATNA, Adonis, Allen Thompson, and others- thanks a million. IP: 158.135.6.179 |

HOLY S H I T.DarkDream, I just want to thank you. This was the article that made me stop about a month or two ago and say to myself "SH1T. I can do this Don Juan stuff I just need to get out there and put these principles into practice. Before reading this article I was a lurker on this site, scanning the Quick Tips from time to time (this went on for about a year), but taking no active part in the forums or really making an effort with my Don Juaning. This article changed all that. IP: 203.45.74.160 |

Thanks DarkDream. I was entering a phase of self-doubt and a feeling of emotional downess, and I realized now that it was because I was living my life being judged by the opinions of others. I've gotta live MY life, not what other people think my life should be. I've gotta strive for self-improvement, not for others and to look good, but for the most important person in my life: myself.
