1.) How to Register and Important Rules

Your username should be:

•Unique (not similar to any existing member’s name)
•Permanent (names cannot be changed by members; if you ever wish to change your username, contact an admin with your top 5 choices in order of preference)
•Anonymous (don’t use your email or real name as your username)

•You may only register for one account. Upon signing up for this account, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail anywhere within the first 24 hours of submitting your registration. To make sure you get the confirmation email, add theattractionforums.com to your email delivery list. Also be sure to check your bulk/spam/junk folders.

•We do not delete accounts so be thoughtful of the information you choose to make public.

•Check out the terms and conditions for the use of The Attraction Forums. There are also a couple of specific rules for you to be aware of:

•This site is not intended to be viewed, and our products and services are not intended to be purchased or used by minors or anyone under the age of 18. By entering this site or making this purchase, you are agreeing that you are over the age of 18. Discussions about minors or anyone under the age of 18 are prohibited.

•Don’t impersonate anyone else, whether they are a member of The Attraction Forums or not.

•Don’t discuss illegal activities. These include but are not limited to: sexual assault, drugs, and piracy (illegal downloads of audio, video, or text that is not licensed). Illegal activities may not be discussed even in an “obviously” humorous or ironic tone. Such threads will be closed/deleted and the posters face warnings or bans.

2.) I want to get better with women. How do I start?

•First of all, realize that most of your questions are probably answered in the book Magic Bullets, which was written by Savoy, the President and Program Leader of Love Systems.

•The Magic Bullets Page includes free chapters to get you started. When you order it, it arrives immediately in your inbox and you can read it online or print it.

• Magic Bullets has a no-questions money back guarantee.

•We've been doing this for years and have become very successful with women ourselves. In our experience, if you don't like Magic Bullets, you won't like The Attraction Forums.

•ONCE YOU HAVE ALREADY READ MAGIC BULLETS, you'll be in a much better position to benefit from The Attraction Forums. Keep in mind that the Forums have existed for quite some time, and that many issues have already been discussed. Start by using the search function so you can learn from the insight of those who have come before you.

•When you're ready to move on to some more advanced materials, check out the product lineup on Love Systems. There you'll find the Love Systems Routines Manual Volume 1 and Routines Manual Volume 2 (both with free chapters), the Relationship Management DVD Home Course, the Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game, and the world famous Interview Series and audio book catalogue.

•When you wish to get started using The Attraction Forums the best place to begin is the NEW? Start Here forum which will help get you started.

3.) So who runs this place anyway?

•The Attraction Forums are run by a volunteer team of Forum members. A few of us got started with this, we invited other users who were active and made a contribution, they in turn invited others, and that’s the team we have today.

•The current team members and the forums and subforums they are responsible for covering may be found by clicking on the Contact Forum Leaders link near the bottom of The Attraction Forums.

•The Attraction Forums are sponsored by Love Systems (formerly Mystery Method Corp).

•If you think you would be a good candidate to be a moderator, contact one of the existing admins.

•If you have a problem with your forum account or have any problem understanding the forum rules or the use the forum itself then please feel free to contact a member of the moderator or admin team and they will be able to help you.

•If you need need to find out if a mod/admin is online at any time then scroll down to the bottom of the main screen where you can see a list of who's online. Admins names are in blue, Mods are in green and Love Systems instructors are red. Please note that the intructors will not be able to help you with any forum issues you may have so please do not contact them with any forum issue you are facing.

4.) Posting Guidelines

•Do not post questions that are clearly answered in Magic Bullets. Don't own this e-book yet? Buy it here.

• Do not discuss gender roles or how unfair you think the dating scene if for men. Accept the premise that the man has to take the initiative and take full responsibility for your own results or you have no reason to be on this forum. This forum is not about discussing how we would rather have the world was, it's about embracing how the world actually is.

•Do not make duplicate threads or post the same question in multiple sub-forums. Your threads will be merged and you will receive a warning. If you feel like you posted in the wrong section and need to move the post, notify a moderator. This is to avoid confusion and reduce forum clutter.

•Be responsible for your own anonymity. If you post identifying information about yourself, there is nothing we can do to prevent others from seeing it. Even if we wanted to, this is a public forum so anything and everything that is posted will be picked up by google and other search engines. Be responsible, as the forum team doesn't have the time to edit out everyone's personal information from old posts.

•Respect the anonymity of others. Do not post real names and/or photographs without permission. Do not repost emails or private/personal messages without permission. Do not post any identifying details about someone else (including, but not limited to, personal webpages, email addresses etc.).

•Before posting information (could be a routine, technique, tactic, tip, etc.), field-test it. Try it out at least 10 times before posting, no one is going to do your dirty work for you.

•If you choose to poke fun at someone who has violated The Attraction Forums FAQ, please at least offer some friendly constructive advice in the same reply. Failure to do so may be interpreted by The Attraction Forums Team as flaming or trolling.

•For various reasons, certain words have been censored on the forums. Please do not attempt to circumvent them at any cost.

•Don’t post stuff that has been dealt with hundreds of times already. Most basic dating science questions are answered in Magic Bullets. Some other topics that have proven to be unhelpful in the past include:

•How do I get this one specific girl? (One-itis topics)
•I have a date/party tonight/soon. What do I need to do to get this girl?
•Please give me all your routines/openers/negs/magic/stories! (Love Systems has released their Routines Manual which does all of this for you now)
•Looks like the game is up! There's a TV show/movie being made about it! Now all the girls will know we're trying to pick them up! (The Sky Is Falling, Chicken Little!)
•What does [common term or acronym] mean?
•Threads that involve personal attacks against another member of the forums.
•And, in general, anything that can be easily searched using the Search Function.

•When quoting or linking to a published work, please include full bibliographic reference so readers can find the original document or work. Get the author's permission in writing before quoting unpublished work.

•Do not use affiliate codes to link to anything. Period. Full-stop.

•The Attraction Forums is not the place to advertise your website, blog, product or event (even if it is free). Nor do its members appreciate being spammed or marketed to within posts. As such, 1) no external (outside of The Attraction Forums) links are permitted in your signature and 2) posts which have an excessive spam or marketing within them will be edited or removed. The same rules apply to PMs (personal messages). Failure to comply with these rules will also result in a ban.

•Unbiased third-party reviews of products and services of interest to The Attraction Forums members are encouraged, as long as they are posted in the appropriate area. Approval must be obtained from Savoy before advertising on TAF.

•While the volunteer TAF team makes every effort to be fair, the ultimate goal of TAF is user experience, not a perfect justice system. Perception is reality, and if something LOOKS shady, the likelihood is that is shady, and the investigation will usually stop there. Over 100,000 members of the The Attraction Forums have no problem staying on the right side of the "no advertising" line.
Warning Points may be given for breaches of the Posting Rules; repeat offending will result in a ban.

5.) Wingman forum guidelines

The Attraction Forums welcomes your add for finding a personal wingman. The wingman forum is meant to help you network and find friends interested in self-development, fitness and game. The wingman forum is NOT for advertising events, lairs, local pickup groups and similar. The general advertising rules apply to the wingman forum and as such you must comply to the following:

• All responses to adds must take place in the thread or in a PM (personal message)

• No adds for specific events including meetups with general admittance

• No links to external webpages including third party social networking sites

• No links, numbers etc. to third party messaging software including but not limited to whatsapp, groupme and skype

• No emails and phone-numbers

• Failure to comply with these rules will result in your post being edited or removed and you may receive a warning

• Failure to protect your anonymity with a subsequent request to have your contact details removed will be susceptible to a removal fee

A: There is a great interview with star Love Systems instructors Mr. M and Rokker on “The Right Way to Learn Game.”

Q. I just can't approach women. I'm completely unable to say hi. Is this Approach Anxiety?
A. Yes it is. Every person's psychology is different. It's easy to cure at a bootcamp because it's in-person. But if a bootcamp isn't an option for you, there's an interview: Vol.1 - Approaching & Transitioning and Vol.44 - Overcomming Approach Anxiety

A. Dating science is not about getting that ONE girl. It's about improving your skill with women in general. Individual women are irrelevant while building these skills. Two thousand women turn 21 (or any other age) in the United States every day. Obsession with one particular woman, before you have acquired the mastery skillset, is counterproductive. We refer to this mind set as one-itis.

MISCELLANEOUS

Q: What is The Lounge? How does it differ from The Attraction Forums?
A: The Lounge, as showcased in Neil Strauss' "The Game," no longer exists. The current Lounge is a forum with the same goal and general structure as The Attraction Forums. The only difference is pre-qualification. You must attend a Love Systems bootcamp to enter. This ensures all posters are at a certain level in the learning process and helps to keep discussion at a very advanced level. The Lounge is not part of The Attraction Forums, and our team has no power to let you into The Lounge, no matter how much we like you. If this sounds like the resource you need, please take a bootcamp with LoveSystems.

Q: How do you promote quality posters?
A: The Attraction Forums Team moves high-quality posts to the Best Of The Forum section which aside from the Intructors classic writing sections is the best section for a library of the best articles the forum has to offer from past and present members.
There is no formal process for doing so. Reply within the particular thread with a nomination and it will be considered into this "hall of fame." Conversely, there is a Facepalm Forum of Shame section. This is reserved for anyone breaking the Terms of Service or not reading the Attraction Forums FAQ. It really isn't hard to keep your posts out of there just this.

Q: I can't afford Magic Bullets or a bootcamp. What can I do?
A: First of all, you don’t have to spent money you don’t have. You're welcome to learn here by reading and posting, for free, for as long as you want. The Love Systems Free Publications Library is also a great source of information, as are the Love Systems Instructor Blogs.

While no one gets involved in seduction for the money, we do expect people to take responsibility for themselves. For example, please don't write asking someone to buy Magic Bullets for you, or for discounted or pirated copies of it. It costs $68. If you don't have $68 in disposable income, your life is likely very much out of control. Even women who aren't materialistic are generally not attracted to men who can't take care of themselves. So, if you don’t have $68 to spend on something so crucial to success with women, then your problem isn’t with women, it’s with your life organization.

If you are committed to improving your game, and want to attend a bootcamp, then it's time to prove how important success with women is in your life. You have to make it happen. Women are attracted to men who get what they want, despite the obstacles.

First, you must decide what you can afford. Love Systems bootcamps are not cheap – nor is any service that can only be performed by rare and highly-trained professionals. And believe us, the criteria and training to be a Love Systems instructor are brutal. However, a day of 1-1 Individualized Training with an instructor is usually cheaper than a full bootcamp. Contact Jeremy, the LS program coordinator, to discuss your individual situation and needs.

But say you are determined to improve your success with women, and you need more cash. Well, get off your computer. Spend less time with beer, porn, the internet, the TV, or doing things that won't change your life. Anyone can make $10/hr part-time. Heck, become a Love Systems Affiliate, and they'll train you how to make a lot more. Anyone has five free hours a week. So that's $50 right there, per week, at a minimum. Earn or save $50 a week, and we'll see you later this year. If it's not worth that kind of effort to you, you won't get the most out of the bootcamp anyway, and it's probably all for the best.
