I remember reading the old posts about the debate of the nice guy versus jerk. Those were deep and insightful posts and pointed to the directions that is still repeated again and again here, but lately there seem to be few supporters. The image of the girl who stick with her ******* boyfriend and ignore the nice guy who tries so hard to win her. Now it got even more extreme with now a "genuine good guy" can't win women and only guys jerks win girls. A more pessimitic time currently, or at least the only threads that survived were the more optimistic ones...
Let me ask you this. Instead of thinking of the good men who have no women in their lives, even the claims of good men who tries hard to get girls but still fails, how bout the guys you know who do have a girl? Are they that "manipulative, sly, condenscending, aggressive and impolite?" Are they also trend to be cool guys, sure some are some real *******s, but most of them trend to be pretty good guys, like the other good guys aformentioned who does not have a girl. My observations of the guys who have a girl, most seem to be pretty cool to me, they can do some pretty assholish stuff (not mean, assholish), though no different we all do sometimes, but I don't see all the couples with the guy always acting like that.
Granted, you could argue that they don't win a ton of girls, I don't know about that as I'm talking about LTRs and not ONS.
The idea of being a don juan in the sosuave sense is the focus of becomming a good man with the mindset to defy preconcieve notions as challenge your boundaries, there's more than one model of being that. The problem with a site that its front is about getting the girl (or girls) is many confuse a DJ with the player, which is not it is about. For this, the noble path of self-improvement with the constant self-examination and reflection is key. It is true that it doesn't win girls, but it does help one pick the right/better girl.

That post also reminds of two threads, both shows the conflict of the aims of this site such as
this thread. As Killapetehog (scroll down) said,
I disagree. The better aim is not to bend our conscience and our self to the the idea of another and that is exactly against agaisnt DJ ideals, being yourself to satisfy others than bending to what you desire (hmm... that sort of sound like "be yourself" however, I think that what people meant more, not willing to bend your identity to suit a girl). A DJ is not a such a man.
