The power of DJism
I can't put into words what the philsophies of this site has meant to me. I put a lot more stock into the articles from the main page and the DJ Bible than I do the message board. You have to troll through players and pimps and know-it-alls (yawn) on the board. But the entire philosophy of taking ownership of yourself and your emotions was incredibly valuable.
What I took the most from this site was to not let the rejections and break-ups rattle me so much. This REALLY used to throw me a curve and get me down. I used to obsess about what I was doing wrong and what allegedly was wrong with me.
Then I discovered this site.
I read one really great Allen Thompson article sent by a friend about how not to let a woman's emotions, acceptance, or rejection of one rule their life. It had a profound affect on my attitude and I read it again and again and I still do when I slip back into AFCdom. I believe the article is called "Kiss of Death" and it is soooooooo on the money. For others it's just another article. It spoke to me big time!
In turn I've dated some great women this year and though none worked out into anything serious, some did work out into good friends. Most importantly, when it didn't work out serious I walked away with a smile on my face, my confidence up, and I rebounded well.
Now I'm successfully dating and have met some real nteresting people, including one gal from the Bay Area who seems particularly intriguing.
