I feel for the guy, to be honest. I've been in a good relationship for years now, but I know that bitterness and resentment. If I'd made the mistake of broadcasting my honest thoughts during that time and somebody linked them to me, it would not be pretty.

Somebody's overcompensating. Trying to be a way cool dude when in fact he's just religion-damaged and a complete TOOL. I mean who says something like "I didn’t have the skill set to achieve the outcomes that I wanted..." regarding DATING?

Christianity... then "game"... Poor sap is just bouncing from one dubious cult to another. And as a man, these are my self-appointed representatives. You know what, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND MAKE MY COFFEE.

Later edit: Fine, it's not a good way to say it, but I'm saying if it's about insults and domination, here's some back at ya.

Women wear makeup to simulate beauty and men act "alpha" to simulate success. If we accept one we should be willing to accept the other. The undercurrent of bitterness and negativity prevalent in the online pickup community is a consequence of the fact that most of these men lived most of their lives with little sexual success and harboring an idealistic view of women. When the bubble breaks they're prone to going too far the other way.
