"Have you ever noticed how the people we are most rude to are the ones we care most about, the ones we think we have the best relationships with? It's because we think we can afford to not be on our best behavior with them. Isn't that messed up? You're more polite to someone you don't like than to someone you truly love. I think that's a fundamental mindset that needs shifting." - Igor … [Read more...]

This Can Kill A Relationship
I'm taking a class related to Economics these days, and the other day the professor said something to the class that immediately clicked with me. I barely ever take notes since I'm an auditory learner, but I just had to write this one down: The moment you're satisfied with success, the next day you'll find yourself on the streets.

Lessons from a happy relationship
I've been fairly inactive in the pickup community these past few months because I've been involved in a relationship that evolved into a serious, exclusive relationship full of passion and commitment from what started off as just a simple open relationship. This has been, so far, the most serious LTR I've ever been in, and I'm learning a lot of things that I never learned as a pickup artist who … [Read more...]
4 Ways Society Makes You Suck With Women
There are many ways that modern society influences us negatively when it comes to women and dating. Fortunately, the pickup artist community seeks to undo the damage in order to turn men into men again, but many PUAs are oddly unspecific in terms of identifying what damage society actually does. I'm here to be specific. 1. "The first rule of Fight Club..." The first and second rules of Fight … [Read more...]
