Sosuave.com changed my life. I remember having my mind blown by reading the bible for the first time, and for once having the confidence to actually talk to girls. It helped me take my first steps from total AFC loser to fairly cool, attractive guy.
Lately, however, I found that it doesn't help me anymore. The concepts discussed here seem so obvious and blatant -- "Don't buy a girl drinks" "Be confident". At the same time, most of the stuff on ASF is too complex for me. It's like a comment Formhandle made on mASF, sosuave.com is like elementary school, ASF is like graduate school.
The greatest thing this site has done for me is help me transition. As an AFC I would have laughed if you'd say I could be a player, but I was willing to believe I could become a DJ. And from being a DJ, then I could finally believe I could become a player.
Why am I leaving this site? Firstly, it has nothing more to offer me. 90% of the people who post here are keyboard jockeys who post theory but never actually go out. Anybody who goes sarging in the real world can see that they're bull****ting, and trying to cover it up by sounding vague and intellectual and philosophical.
When I tried to address this problem on the site, the mods killed my posts by moving them to Anything Else. I brought up a serious, legitimate issue, which could really change some guys' lives. After all, most of the guys in our lair would have been perpetual keyboard jockeys had it not been for our meetings.
The moderators are also the second reason why I'm leaving this site. Instead of trying to get the people in this forum out into the real world, they squash any thread which isn't empty theory. Not only this, but I suspect they are not out in the real world all that much myself, judging from the amount of time they waste of this site trying to be funny and flaming people. For example, check out this thread http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64240 where Wyldfire raised a legitimate concern, and the mods simply use the thread as chatroom so they can flirt over the internet
.
Another poster who made gay jokes in my thread, Matt Rogers, also sticks out to me as representative of what the sosuave community has become. Do a search on Matt's posts, most of them are about how insecure he is about his looks, and how he's shy and introverted and boring. In short, how he has no social skills and is not happy with himself.
A bunch of guys have PMed me asking to join the Boston lair or to wing with me, and I think that that's really cool. I'd still be up for meeting up with anyone on this site interested in going out in the real world.
I'm sorry if this sounds a little melo-dramatic, but this site was really important to me during my high school years because it gave me the confidence I needed to become who I am today. I'm really reluctant to leave a place which helped me so much, but I don't have anything more to learn from the keyboard jockey infested forums here, which will only get worse because the moderators encourage people to be keyboard jockeys rather than discourage it. I know this will probably draw the obligatory flames and drama-queen jokes from the mods, but this is serious and important to me. Without this site, I wouldn't be confident and outgoing and happy like I am today, I would still be a depressed introverted loser.
I don't doubt the mods will try to kill this by moving it to Anything Else, but I posted it in Discussion first so at least some people would see it before it gets moved. I can only encourage you all one last time to get away from these forums and get into the real world.
Goodbye,

.The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I tried to point out that it would help people on this site IMMENSELY to meet up in the real world, the moderators, and other members as well, just responded with immature gay jokes. I didn't flame or insult anyone, my post was polite and respectful, and I think it's ridiculous that the MODERATORS who are supposed to control flaming, all just made gay jokes about me themselves. Don't get me wrong, I make gay jokes all the time with my friends, and they're funny...in the real world. They're lame on an internet discussion forum. Grow up guys.

...and yet still, rather than consider the one thing which could break him out of the rut of introverted mediocrity which his life has become, he chooses to ridicule it with unwitty gay jokes. Have fun masturbating for the rest of your life Matt, it's what you consummately deserve.
