Good Afternnoon!OK, this is a special message to all the newbies who’ve lurked and posted, but still seem a little confused by some “conflicting” advice they may read here.
If you are a AFC visiting this site to try and learn about what’s going on with this whole dating/pick-up chicks situation, I’ve got some good news for you: you’re in the right place. Now the bad news: not everything you read here is correct.
Now Gipper, I hear you say, a lot of the information that’s posted is simply someone’s opinion. True enough, I say, but you have to take most of this in the spirit in which it was intended.
When I first came here, I had just been dumped by a former LTR chick, like a lot of others here. I lurked for about 6-8 months before I worked up the nerve to post an opinion of my own about a subject. Now, it seems very easy for me. Much like approaching a chick for her number or asking for a date.
I read many posts, read and re-read the DJ Bible and judged the information presented. The one thing I noticed about a lot of this info was that nothing was sugar-coated to make it go down easier. Everyone called a spade a spade, and it all seemed very cut-and-dried to me.
So I tried the advice. And guess what? It worked. I wasn’t successful 100% of the time, but it was usually because my delivery was unpracticed and not quite smooth enough. But my point is : THE PRINCIPLES ARE SOUND!
When someone posts a question here or asks for advice, you ARE NOT going to get any “feel-good” tips or advice. That’s not going to help you. You need to hear the voice of the ‘straight-shooters’. We’re not trying to be cruel, we’re just trying to give you a kick in the a$$ that you really need. Tough love, motivation, whatever you want to call it. It’s nothing personal. Really.
If something we post here sounds harsh, or deviates from something you’ve heard before, it’s probably sound advice. That’s the great thing about this site; you won’t hear this stuff anywhere else. Society seems hell-bent on delivering politically correct versions of everything you read or hear. Guess what? That sucks!
I’m not going to pick on any individuals here; first, it’s kinda petty to do so, and second, it’ll start some ungodly 90 + post response, which is not the intention of this.
Read as much as you can. You’ll be able to pick up on who’s serious about helping you. It’ll probably be the guy that tells you forget about a particular chick, grow a pair of balls and date as many chicks as you can.
