Dudes,
I have been around here the last couple days looking at some of the advice and tips. There is gold to be found on these boards and there are a number of guys contributing who I think are really cool. But unfortunately, the gold is burried under rumble and it's becoming harder and harder to find. Some stuff is good but a lot of what is posted here is sh1t, ACF sh1t to be emphatic about it.
The unfortunate thing that I have learned in the last couple years is that game is VERY hard to articulate over the internet. Yes, it's easy for some people to articulate the IMPRESSION of game to people who have no basis for judgement IRL as to what game really is, but real game is hard to grasp on the boards in actuality. That is why experienced posters often get frustrated with contributing as did Mystery on ASF years ago before he started focusing on teaching what he does IRL.
Although, the problem is particularly bad here, it is not a problem UNIQUE to here. In my time on mASF in the past, I noticed guys who start more threads on techniques theory than I EVER would think of starting myself who I KNOW were virgins because they admitted they were on the boards.
The truth is, you don't know if the guys you get advice from are any good at picking up chicks. Before you even get to that, you don't know if you got them on the phone could they hold a decent conversation and speak clearly and with structure. You don't know if you would be comfortable sitting on the barstool next to them chatting over a beer.
I have been fortunate in my experiences meeting people from the boards. These guys have had game or at least had good rapport building skills which could serve as the foundation for the develoment of game. Jake Steed and Broadband from this forum are both cool guys. The guys who I have met from mASF are cool too. I acquire rapport with people in general quite easily, and usually if I can't get along with someone and have trouble connecting looking them in the face and talking to them they are long way from game.
So.....you are wondering what solution I have to offer on this situation besides ranting about it, right?
When you read posts here, try to get (as much as you can online) an overall sense of how you believe this person formed his ideas. Is he a newbie who has been reading the posts and talks like he knows more than he does? Or has he done some reading, applied the material and is speaking from his own observations? Also, try not to BE the first one of those. If you don't have the experience or don't fully understand the context of the question (that may be because the question wasn't specific or well formed enough in some cases) then just don't reply. People who know LESS than you will read that and form their own ideas based on YOUR misconceptions.
Another piece of advise...MEET GUYS IN REAL LIFE! It's fun to see how a peson's RL personality matches up with your online imrpession, I have been told it's vastly different in my case. Not just guys from these boards (although DO that whenever you have the opportunity, it's nice to add a human connection to the posts you read) but seek out guys in the game IRL. Most guys who have lots of women interested in them are cool guys who are eager to make friends if you present yourself as a confident individual who has no problem introducing himself. Best of all, you get to SEE game instead of reading about it.
Cheers!
