    “I cannot be honest about my accomplishments or ambitions without ridicule. I am running for a state political position, I’m a high level exec in a franchising company, and I own two business locations in state. I found that stating it simply… nets me negativity on dates if I’m honest.”

Narcissism at its finest. Yes, talking about yourself an entire date because you think women are just uninteresting is a turn off. Good lord this article has everything.

I was explaining the red pill to my wife this evening ("isn't that something from The Matrix?") and I got to the part where I said "and the funny/sad thing about it all is they rant and rail about how if you hit on a girl and she likes you then you're attractive but if you hit on a girl and she thinks you're creepy then you're creepy but the whole time they're taking dating tips from this site that - "

" - tells you to be creepy?"

"Yeah, pretty much exactly that."

You know when they spin these sob stories about how hard it is for them to date and they have to use these tricks because they are "insert list of unattractive traits that really don't matter if you are confident with normal social skills" ?

A friend of mine who has a decent few of those traits plus the ya know normal social skills and confidence didn't know what a PUA was so I explained the basics to him. His reaction was great, he couldn't stop laughing and mocking not only their tricks to get women but also the amount of time/brain power they devoted to cracking this mystery. It's always nice to have those conversations after being told that as an attractive woman you just don't get it.
