I don't know if this topic belongs on this thread, so I apologize.
I first read Strauss' "
The Game" book about 3 years ago or so when my buddy showed it to me. After that, I started to dabble a little more into whatever books I could find and eventually read MM, as did my friend and a couple other mutual friends of ours.
However, last night (and this has happened quite a few times now), my OTHER friends who despise MM, or any other
PUA material, constantly poke fun at the fact I read any of those and that I have some nerve actually practicing it. In addition, they never let up on how myself and my friends actually READ those books, and how they never will.
They mainly go after the
PUA show on VH1, how it's entertaining to watch, but a load of bullshit (any seduction/comfort methods would never work). I don't try to defend the show, because it's TV. But I'm tired of the same crap they say to down talk any methods.
"Why can't you just be yourself? I do that and it works"
"It's so stupid that you have to change your entire lifestyle and everything you do to MAYBE meet a girl"
"If some guy did used it on me, I would just laugh in his face"
"None of that works at all"
"I'm always myself and I talk to girls... like one time... *boring story*"
Anything I retort with, which is usually something that came out from me (or my friends) using methods, is scoffed at. And at this point I reply with, "if you're going to dismiss everything I say, then stop asking or probing questions about it."
Funny enough.. they're the ones who always complain "we need to meet more woman", or they're the one who was engaged and had to break it off.
Anyway, I know this is something where you should say "who cares, let them talk". But I'm just curious as to what others think.
