As far as the inauthentic ones, I consider this to be a fairly good sign: If they've only been on the forum a year or two and they have made more postings than I have in my 12 years… we have to wonder when they’ve had the time for all these lays.
While I would normally agree with this, I think that the tone of the posts is a far better indicator as well as their forum behavior. Some people legit have a couple hours in the week to just slouch around and not do much, they genuinely enjoy sharing thoughts and having
healthy debates with strangers online. Plus, you can share more anonymously than you can with friends these says. That said, there are three different type of guys here:
1. The ones that add value, share their observations around what they are seeing out there, give certain advice based on their experience, share field reports every now and then, and create healthy conversations with other users in a community. I've met guys like this in real life on a past forum I was on and come to find, they were liked by people in real life too. They tend to generate a positive vibe but on the forum and off of it, one good example of this is
@In2theGame
OR
2. The ones that are posting non-stop about politics, are always negative, come off as very misogynistic but in a hateful way, are borderline redpill/blackpill, and create some of the most depressing content on the forum you get sad off of reading. These are also the guys complaining about height, ethnicity, and you name it. Like I refuse to believe these guys live anything close to a productive life and are probably off putting to everyone they meet.
AND finally, the worst.
3. The ones who seem to always stir the pot, keep tabs on people, are always tangled up in every forum drama/argument, and take that sort of stuff way too seriously (reputation points, etc.). These are the guys who will remember every detail about other forum members and may even go as far as to try and doxx them. They are always nitpicking and criticizing other members, always being tangled up in crap and are usually the ones that start the whole ordeal. I don't care how many lay reports they post, I refuse to believe these guys have any success with women. One common giveaway is that they seem to be in various online communities and carry the drama from one community to the next.
