These ideologies (as you call them) are one route to that knowledge.

It's inexact and mostly bullshit, but the fact that it is so wildly popular in certain subsets of young men (yes, socially inept nerds) shows that there is a strong desire for this knowledge and an inability to find it anywhere else.

I thought this thread is about Method acting.
I am so glad I live in a parallel universe.

Just out of curiosity to see what the hell you could really write about the subject, I read Mystery's book last summer and realized most of it is complete bollocks.

When you have to resort to flowcharts to get the girl, you have a real problem.

oh the irony.

Need I remind you of your introduction to this board JB?...when you proclaimed undying love for some other 13 yr old and asked us how to win her over.

I'm not a big fan of Hillary, and I certainly would never want to dress like that guy, but I have to say that folks around here are way to eager to find reasons to cut off their own genitalia.

Yes. Basically, as with anything, you can learn something and believe everything it says, or you can learn something and question whatever is dubious to you, then put into practice the good points.

****, I should have mentioned it was a library book. Otherwise I wouldn't have read it.

some other 13 yr old and asked us how to win her over.
4 years off, I was 15, she was 17. Might want to get your facts straight first.
