How do you deal with the AFCs in your life?

[teddy]

I feel like every one of my friend is an AFC. Whenever I make a decision that is based on the principles I've learned on here (especially when it's about how WE'RE the prize and a man should never prove himself to a woman, it should be the other way around) they always try to cast doubt on me. And the problem is, because I'm still developing, this results in casting doubt on myself.

For instance, I made the decision to cut a woman off. I decided too many things were wrong with the situation based on experience and this site, let alone the fact that I was sensing oneitis beginning to develop for her.

My friend told me today that I should've stayed and acted as her friend.

I don't know how to deal with this. Just when I think I made solid inner game progress, the world tries to rip it out of you.

What did Eve try do to Adam after she had fallen victim? She tried to convert him over of course.

What do zombies do after they've been infected? They try to infect you of course.

What do religious zealots and blow hards do after they've been converted? They try to convert you of course.

What do AFCs and beta males do after they've been brainwashed?

You know the drill...

Just tell him to cancel his subscription to CLEO magazine.

Just ignore them and be the outcast to your social circle - The one who goes against the bull sh!t

Yeah, any time I tell them the girl isn't interested or to go NC, they start foaming out of the map.

I told my hardcore afc friend to go ghost on a girl he was having oneitis for and was hardcore chasing. He went nc for 3 days, told me "it wasn't working" and started chasing her again. Then he asked her where this was going and she said "let's be friends".

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. It might be difficult, and I'm currently going through this process, but you have to cut these people out of your life in order to continue developing. Perhaps not entirely but to a certain degree at least.

I've tried to help two AFCs by introducing them to this site.
They BOTH showed the girl they were pining over and ridiculed what they'd read.
As a result, I refuse to help any more AFCs.

The afc friend I mentioned a couple posts ago told the girl he went nc on for three days that he had been intentionally doing it and "don't worry, I still read all your texts you sent me during that time."

I tired showing my buddy who married his first girlfriend... I lived with them for like 3 months, and I watched her emotionally abuse him. She had rules that change every day, and she would just flip on him for the smallest things....

We don't talk anymore, he did make progress while I was there, but I wonder sometimes if sh!t went right back to how it was.

A lot of afc's don't get it. They just don't have the heart.

I really just don't deal with them much, and do my own thing.

Part of being a man is following your own path, and seeking your own truth. The world will test your commitment by giving you obstacles along the way, which include nay-saying friends and family. But you must stay on the path, because if you don't, you will never develop any inner game to build from. This concept applies to all areas of your life, not just with women. Stay strong.

Keep squares out your circle.

They do that, don't they?

You try to help out friends who never have dates, never get laid, get **** on by every woman they ever do wind up with and they act like they are above even trying anything that might help them break the cycle. I think subconsciously, or consciously, they have this idea that admitting that they could use help with anything related to women is even worse a blow to their ego than having no success. Then they marry the next one that gives them the time of day.

Amazing, really.

^^^^ Spot on.

Great advice.
