True insight is usually misunderstood.
I don't know dbot, but I've read a few of his posts, and I find them to be very believable. I think some men let their egos and self-doubt get in the way. When someone says he is doing exactly the thing they wish they were doing, they respond by telling him he's full of sh1t!
This is how people fail. Have you ever read a self-help book, and you got to a paragraph or chapter that you just didn't believe, or it explained a technique you didn't feel comfortable with? Happens to me all the time. But quite often I really liked the book and found it useful overall.
I don't disregard all the advice, I just use what works for me. Do the same with everything. This is called having a mind of your own. I'm going to make an honest attempt at what doing what dbot is saying. I feel that, as a person who believes he deserves the best in life, I can't afford to sit on my a$$ and continue on with the mind-set that is not leading to the happiness I want.
I have tried to be unconditionally loving before but it didn't work. But I think the reason is because I have a habit of being needy. Dbot didn't add "Don't be needy", but how could he? He doesn't know all of our specific hurdles we have to face.
What I have to do is go out there and do it again, but this time, take the neediness out of it. I think it would be easy to appear needy, telling women how beautiful they are. Women don't like needy. This is why a lot of PUAs tell you not to say these things to women. All the needy guys are doing that. You should be different.
I'm in a play right now, struggling with the line, "Where do you think you're going?" My character is a shady kind of guy, so I have to make sure I say it in a way that conveys that to the audience. The only way to do that successfully is to allow myself to become the character (at least for the duration I'm on stage).
This isn't "It's not what you say, it's how you say it", it's about becoming the type of person that can say this stuff and not come off as a chump, but actually the opposite.
I'm going to start this today. When I hit a roadblock, I'm going to go around, or through. I'm going to adjust. But I won't turn around. This is how you get to the finish line.
