I'd say the lack of actual depth.

I made a post about self acceptance and self love and got one reply while a post about a guy wanting to date a borderline personality chick has like six pages of nonsense.

I left this board for months because of things like this. While this is way better than a pick up forum and there are members here want to explore things, the bro mentality is too well alive and it's scary how little anyone truly wants to dive deep here.

What do you mean by bro mentality

I think the game has gotten much worse for men and thus more bitching is occurring.

I was doing pretty well with girls in 2002. Now in this instagram generation? Not so much. I refuse to use Snapchat ( I don't wanna feel like a 15 year old girl) and most women are on it 24/7.

While "Lack of depth" is not an argument, it's comforting to know the forum is both long enough and wide enough.

I made a post about self acceptance and self love and got one reply. I left this board for months because of things like this.
You've been a member for 8 months and left for several months already, for just this reason?

Please, don't go away again! Things will be deeper I swear!

The regression of the board

Back in 2008/2009 when I was in My "rookie" campaign this board was something I check daily, religiously for hours and hours on end.

The field reports in early 2009 where legenday

@noob--Who was talented writer, in the same real of Hemingway and Emerson, he was the guy who got me started on pics

@phatrabbit--One of the first PUA's who use to post video/audio footage something unheard of. This was right before infield footage was utilized by Most PUA companies

@snowplowman --a legend and one of my mentors

@macallik -The dude who moved from the Islands to Chicago

Myself--not to brag but I had some classics as well

There are so many more guys, the quality of poster was something unheard of, even in the mature men's section. SO what happened? the board became more and more toxic. The good posters left. I myself by 2010 would leave 6 months at a time. By 2013 The site had compeletley changed

All the guys who knew their shyt left, and all of a sudden these "MGTOW 4 life" guys came around, a website that use to be about self-improvement and seduction now became a playground for guys to cry, be bitter and moan about the type of girls they couldn't get it. Guys who would try to shame you if you didn't co-sign this movement which had a lot of homosexual undertones.

Why am I still here? good question, I come here to be inspired because that's what this site use to do for me. It use to motivate me to succeed not just with women but in life but now? all i if @bigneil model slore tales are suppose to inspire and "Online Dating" field reports, we are in trouble

I was a lurker on these boards since I was in high school and I do remember a lot of quality, positive, and motivating content on this forum. Now, it's full of toxic, cry baby, closet racist, alt right, Pepe the frog red pillers that just **** and jerk off to the idea of living in a time period where only white men had full access to civil rights. In addition, the mods suppported these clowns and pretty much banned anybody that spoke out against it. Now every other post is some red pill revisionary Elliot Rodger trash.

I love this site! Over the years it has been a blessing to me. I do believe that there comes a point where your life moves on & this site is no longer a part of it.

For some posters that will be 6 months. For others (like me.) they are here far longer.

The biggest problem with this site is a focus on the external (Money, status & looks etc.) rather than then internal underpinning issues. I would love to see more posters open up & talk about there issues.

We ban established members for one reason only: Repeated abuse of other members after ignoring multiple warnings. It's extremely difficult to get banned if you've been here for a while. I'm not aware of support of any kind of ideology, especially since all the mods have different views on such subjects.

Back to the subject matter, I think that any forum of this nature is going to morph continually, as societal changes and perceptions occur. It's a pretty good mirror of the state of affairs out there. I would be less inclined to blame the forum, which is only a reflection, and be more inclined look at that which is being reflected.

Let's not bullsh!t ourselves. Sosuave is a site for guys who can't get girls. Therefore, if you can get a sense of the collective mindset here....the attitudes and viewpoints that are the most commonly held.......well then you just invented the formula for pvssy repellent. My problem with sosuave is when being pvssy repellent comes to be viewed as the right way to get girls, just because that is how most guys on here act. The site becomes the metaphorical barrel of crabs that pulls back any crab who tries to climb above the collective loser mindset. And yes, bans come from arguing and insulting each other, but I'm talking about the real reason for the arguments. Guys who get laid don't have a lot of patience for being lectured about game by guys who don't.

I think a lot of it has to do with new people starting accounts and immediately start asking for advice on how to talk to a girl, how to get a girl back, what to say in an approach, when to approach a girl etc.

I feel like if there was a probationary period where you had to wait 2 months from the moment you created your account to start posting, that would be beneficial haha.

Then you could observe, and find out this board is essentially about one message: improving yourself to be the best person you can possibly be, and the women will follow.

Great idea. Also, IMO users should need 10 likes (or so) and then they can create a thread versus respond to a thread.

I've been here 11 years now and I never saw a major change. If anything it's better now, because the forum went from seemingly leaning toward Hillary for awhile to being IMO strongly Pro Trump. It's also nice to see how we respect female members but also put them in their places.

The PUA community was a natural response to the unnatural forces of Feminism. This forum is essentially the opposite of Feminism, and men can learn about the three most important things: health, finance and relationships. It's 10 times better than Facebook.

Exactly, these mgtows/red pillers have an inane cynical pessistimc vibe. In addition, the mods state they don't have a bias but anybody who makes a topic that doesn't benefit right wing leaning white men gets banned from the site or the topic closed.

I feel like once most people get the supplicated information they need, and apply it appropriately, they never return here.

This, the only reason I came back was to share some insights. But no one seems to care so I might just have to go that route again. Kind of a shame.
