I was emailing back and forth with a student and he mentioned what people had said on a subreddit. This was my response:
Honestly I wouldn’t [pay] attention to Reddit as it’s [completely] unverified. A lot of the guys on there are simply repeating what they think is true rather than what they’ve experienced in real life.
It really shocks me as to which people are taken seriously in this space. I get it, there are a lot of men entering this community who have had their lives turned upside down. Maybe they experienced a bitter red pill truth with their own eyes. Maybe they went through a very bad breakup. They’re probably lost amongst all the content (slop) that gets put out there which directly contradicts their whole worldview up until this moment. They are at a point where they are so easily led.
But that doesn’t mean they should turn off their critical functions.
In the West, many people still assume good faith and good intentions in others. In Englishmen, it’s almost a physical pain to think about someone who is merely trying to scam you. That it isn’t some unfortunate accident, even. Yet, in the pick-up space, those people are everywhere. That’s because it’s such a rich target for would-be malicious actors. Even if it’s not for your money, it’s for your time and attention.
So when you’re looking for people to look up to in this space, take a moment to think. Look at their body of work and ask yourself if there are any red flags. If there are red flags then that’s a strong signal to avoid them. Your gut has something very urgent and important to say to you and you should listen to it.
Go ahead and book calls with those people too. Listen to the way they speak. Listen to the content they’ve put out online and ask yourself whether they’re trying to help you or if they’re trying to sell to you. Think about brands like Rolls Royce or Lamborghini. Do they try to pull Cialdini-esque pricing tricks on you? Do they spam you with marketing? No. They let the product speak for itself. Their names are synonymous with quality. You should be doing the same kind of due diligence with the people you take advice from.
Here’s the real kicker that most newbies don’t understand when it comes to pick-up:
No advice is better than bad advice
You’re going to mess yourself up by following bad advice, and probably multiple sources of bad advice at once at that, compared to simply getting out there and doing something.
