quote:TRP is really just an echo chamber of dudes who are trying to figure out women talking to each other and bouncing their asinine ideas about how women's minds work off of each other, completely ignorant of psychological studies and other sociological data that show they're wrong. Not only that, it's become a cottage industry in which "gurus" are selling books and guides to men who are hopeful that they'll learn how to be successful with women and get what they want. It's a bit cult-like, honestly.
Fair enough but my dad, as involved as he was in my life never taught me how to interact with people (or women) the right way...
That's the type of shite you have to put your damn phone down and get off the damn internet to do... People need to take some initiative and learn themselves..
I blame texting, social media, and the Internet

Find a girl that you are attracted to and at least somewhat close to your league
Make eye contact, appear confident
Strike up a conversation and find common ground...
See where it goes from there, if it works out and had potential, great, if not, move on to the next one
Not really that complicated... This strategy works for men of all appearances, statuses, income, etc
Just be real

well that is what I take from all of it really , the biology and psychology involved behind the actions of women in the dating/LTR sphere.

A bunch of guys who don't get girls, sitting there talking to other guys who don't get girls about how to get girls, while not leaving the comfort of the internet. Then, you have the "experts" who think they have it figured out, but are still single for some reason, offering advice to the other guys

So you're an "expert"?

An expert on the experts...

I'm pretty sure you and I aren't going to agree on much pertaining to this topic , but I'm curious to get your take on recent events involving a worldwide meet up scheduled for men in different cities by Roosh V.

No matter your opinion of that guy , I think it is pretty clear that the whole thing was misrepresented purposefully and had governors coming out to denounce the meeting of "pro rape" advocates. Now why do you think they did that? Still think there isn't an agenda here? It was interesting to see a bunch of women show up on that site expecting to see a bunch of male "pro rape" advocates only to find out the feminists and media fooled them.

Sounds like you got it all figured out.

I'd bet a lot of money that the vast majority of men on TRP had father figures when growing up. I bet it's very close to the average population.
Well...there's no way to know, but...
If it's close to the average population, then it can't be the vast majority. By "father figure", I'm talking about a relatively competent, stable one and not whatever doofus their irresponsible single mom had around at any given time.
Anecdotally, given how socially incompetent most of them are, having any sort of decent male role model at all is unlikely. Or positive female presence, for that matter...but that matters less for guys.

The whole idea of TRP is stupid...
All it takes is a little common sense, a little confidence, and the ability to hold a conversation...
None of which can be taught from a book, online, etc
I suggest more social interaction at a young age

I agree, but this is pretty much what most of the TRP advice is. Be interesting.
the problem is the next layer is just horrible. They start to teach women are evil.

Fa sho 
I'm good at getting chicks at bars. Dating, I'm petty and picky. I don't really see many in my day to day activities, so there isn't a big pool for me to choose from. Haven't even seen one yet today.
I have a couple of friends that are basically scared to talk to girls. I've tried to give them advice and do everything I can for them. Come to realize that you can't really fake what makes girls like you. You can't read a forum and gain confidence. You can't fake being comfortable around girls when you're not. You can't fake a personality for too long.
You can tell someone to work out and do activities, but you can't change their personality
