I hope this will help some of you. Of course this is a re-hash with my own insertions. All the tips on this site, all the posts, all the books you will ever read, and even history itself, is a re-hash. But perhaps it is repeated over and over because people seem to forget. Hopefully this will be a nice reminder for some of you. I need to remind myself every now and then too.
#1. Be More Open. Be Open to Everyone and Everything. Be Ready to Change All Your Beliefs at Any Time. Do Not Cling to One Perspective.
I sense a lot of hostility on these boards. If we are here learning to be men, let's remember that real men don't throw fits at each other, don't flame each other every second, don't whine, etc. Let's all grow up a little.
Do not dismiss knowledge. Regardless of the source, do not dismiss it.
A lot of you dismiss online dating as a repulsive, asocial activity. Lately, I have seen some helpful members who try and post tips, and rather than thank them, you bash them. You believe that online dating is crap. That is your belief. Everything is beliefs. You create your reality from those beliefs. Those beliefs affect your emotions and perspective on life events.
To dismiss online dating entirely is to close an open door of opportunity to meet women.
I can see where you are coming from. I used to bash it too. I thought all guys who used it were losers with no social skills. And perhaps it is not "DJ" to sarge online. But what really is "DJ" and why do you care so much if you are "DJ" or not? Do you care if others were to see you sarge online, and think negatively of you? Maybe you think that would happen because it is a mirror of your own belief system.
It all goes back to insecurities and egos. Tone down the ego a notch, and realized that for some of you, online could be a great opportunity. It does not mean you no longer sarge in daily life. These are all assumptions you believe to be true because of your own insecurities.
I am personally not great at online sarging. However, I do not bash others who use it. More power to them. In fact, maybe I could learn from them. Maybe we could all learn from them, if not from their persistence to share their knowledge. Is that not why we are here, to learn from each other?
(by the way, I purposely titled this thread as such to draw more attention to it. However, that is not to say the belief is not valid. It can be perfectly valid for some and not others. Again, to refute it's validity is to close the door of opportunity...I hope you can grasp this because it applies to every single area of life, not just online dating - though that was more applicable and an easier example here)
