"My kids come first" is like a dude saying "I'm just here to get my d*ck wet". Both statements are honest enough, but you're effectively asking people to acknowledge that they have no value - that's why it's so obnoxious.

Lol @ the heat you're catching for pointing out how annoying and redundant this cliche is. For those listening, the issue isn't that you prioritise your children appropriately - of course you should. The issue is that "my kids are my world" is about as useful and interesting as "I love to...

I read the article Rollo linked to. I think he's spot on about the dissonance we have about our motivation for self-improvement (I'm sure he sleeps better knowing he has my approval). Lately I've been thinking about the limits of self-improvement with regard to attraction, and I've got this...

You know, every single time a girl from a dating site pushed for early phone contact, she turned out to be a fruit-loop. Haven't really analysed it, but that's been my experience so far.

Ha! Took the words right out of my mouth. High five.

It's also one of the chinks in "Self-improvement Game". Why should I invest in my body, social skills, career, etc when unlimited p*ssy is just one neck tattoo away? I'm kidding - but not really. I think we'd all agree that self-improvement is worth pursuing for its own sake. But on a...

Some of the decline is real, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that our tolerance for bullsh!t and mediocrity gets lower and lower the further we get into the Game.

Well, why struggle to develop character the old fashioned way when you can become more "interesting" (pfffft) just by shooting a bolt through your philtrum? Instant social cachet. The current female fascination with ink and piercings is so gallingly superficial (literally skin deep). It goes...

Australian here, but I've been browsing the "talent" (cough) in a couple of US locations on PoF. Can confirm you guys have it worse. American women have really perfected the art of self-congratulation. For all their other flaws, ours have a little humility left. Here's a question - do you think...

What a great question OP. I think a lot of guys get this idea that C&F is about making a girl the butt of their jokes. And yeah, that kind of jerk-game can work pretty well on younger women - because, well, they're dumb. It's reminiscent of the girl who thinks that "sarcasm" is a license to say...

Chose to embrace monk-mode after my ride broke down over the holiday period (still weeks away from getting my bike back on the road). The base I live and work at is a good $100 cab ride away from the city, and it's been a ghost town over the holidays. So I haven't had much scope for socialising...

Goddamn dude. That is solid, solid advice.

As an aside, I thought this was pretty cool: The phrase "bigger bang for the buck" was notably used by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Secretary of Defense, Charles Erwin Wilson, in 1954. He used it to describe the New Look policy of depending on nuclear weapons, rather than a large...

Best bang for buck: Only investing energy in women who are highly interested. Worst bang for buck: Unconsciously spamming anyone with a vagina. True for online or traditional approaches. Your turn.

How long has it been since we gave the Pareto Principle a good flogging? It's definitely time for a do-over. Although its application can be much broader, the Pareto Principle is generally taken to mean that 80% of our (positive) results come from 20% of our actions. At the risk of telling you...

"Tell me something about yourself". It's a horsesh!t "question" that demonstrates low social intelligence. That is not how people naturally converse. Plus, self-reporting is garbage. You don't learn anything worth knowing about a person by having them talk about themselves. You do that by...

You know what the real dilemma is? My game was objectively worse "back then", but I was having a lot more fun - that's not how this is supposed to work! Granted, I'm not providing validation to any damaged women these days, but still!

I'll offer a slightly different perspective. I don't think OLD has changed all that much, but I have. My tolerance for BS is way down, my standards are way up. At the risk of projecting OP, I reckon this explains a good part of your dissatisfaction with OLD at the moment. I have some pretty...

Perhaps we could all agree that there is a law of diminishing returns with regard to self-improvement and the pursuit of pvssy. You can take your own Game/SMV from 4 to 6 with a modest amount of effort. Double that to get yourself from 6 to 8. Quadruple it to go from 8 to 10. I'd expect that...
