This post on r/seduction sums it up.
For your information, by reading others, I concluded that I certainly don't have the best logistics here. Far from it. But I also don't have the worst, either. I'm not complaining. Just for your information. I've said before that I don't aim to utilize this forum to solve all my challenges that is life. Which brings us to the topic of how pickup relates to self improvement for men in general. I'm not denying that Chase is sure at a high level of personal development. Not at all. But as long as his main marketing strategy is aiming at the lowest common denominator; serving more of his search engine traffic than concentrating on raising his tighter community to a higher level, I don't see how such topics will be dominant here. Other pickup coaches try to move their students more into that direction, though. Just my observation.
As a side note, I see theory and practice equally important: 50% and 50%. At least, this is how I function. This to those who still want to see field reports from me. I mean, I find theory important (50%) and I find practice important (50%). But I don't see how spending hours writing field reports of my specific stories would add to any of those two sides: getting field experience and learning about personal growth as a man. I get that I'm a Space Monkey here. But Space Monkey does not equal entertainment monkey, thank you! I'm personally also more a person who likes to connect the dots himself and find out what works for him from generic advice, not copying other people's stories. Not to mention most of you are American and I'm not, or we are just different personalities or live different lives.
I've heard something recently which resonates with me quite well: incorporate pickup into your daily life as a new hobby. Such as learning a new language or doing martial arts. Take it a little casually. Now I notice quite a few of you, the forum core, maybe a little more obsessed with the topic than me. At least, this is how I see it. It's perfectly fine with me, I just don't quite get why do I get so much heat from some senior members here. One. Two. Three. Or, from another perspective, I perfectly get it. But that means this probably isn't my online men's self improvement community. :/
