>Great post. I agree with number 7, it is so true.

This one is harder, but in my opinion it's more honest. About a quarter of girls dump me or flat out refuse when I mention it. About a quarter are gung-ho. About half are ambivalent. I don't think it's wise to bring it up unless she's a pretty cold lead, in which case a dirty Hail Mary is a viable option, or unless you've already been with her for a while and she's deeply into you and thus you're more likely to have hand.

Neil Strauss's Game sequel, The Truth has him exploring non-monogamy:

>I look up and see a yoga stud from Kamala's pod.

>"Have you rounded up any more girls?" the orbiter asks him.

>Kamala Devi and Shamal Helena said polyamory was about loving relationships, not casual sex. But these guys seem more like next-level pickup artists, coming to these conferences with the intention of sucking any available women into their powerful reality.

"These guys seem more like next-level pickup artists:" let that sink in.

I personally have never seen attractive polyamorous people. But I have seen lots of attractive open relationship people, and when the guy is driving it can be very powerful. Some of the girls in that scene are more psycho than average. The people deepest in, I stay away from. But some of them are fantastic. Remember that there is no escape from frame or SMV. If the former is strong and the latter is high it can be next-level game.

I've not written comprehensively about open relationships and game but I did talk about them in Women want to follow your lead: a story about a woman presenting two ways.

>For me, if a woman is too good in bed then she might have had too much experience - prone to infidelity / being adventurous. That is not bad for short term but STD is a concern.

Hardly correlated. My best partners in bed were little experienced, moreover. Infidelity is correlated to childhood and relationship with parents much much more than with experience. Read "The Truth" by Neil Strauss to learn more about it, how a womanizer became a good husband by chasing past demons.

>Also if a woman is still a virgin at say 25, that is a bit weird.

Not really. In most cases it's just shyness and/or lack of self confidence so actually nothing at all.

u/cosmeticsnerd · 5 pointsr/AskWomen

A few books helped me - The Truth by Neil Strauss (same guy that wrote The Game, believe it or not), and Pia Mellody's books, especially Facing Love Addiction, were super helpful.

I definitely recommend putting dating and hookups on hold so you can focusing on building healthy friendships and a healthy relationship with yourself, for two reasons: one, unhealthy attachment patterns have a lot to do with your sense of self-worth, and it's easier to work on that when you're single; two, as Mellody argues in Facing Love Addiction, dating or being in a relationship offers countless opportunities for your attachment issues to be triggered, and frequent triggering can slow down or halt your progress. Putting what you've learned into practice is important, but it's easier if you've built a strong foundation on your own first.

Also: unhealthy attachment patterns usually have their roots in childhood, and figuring out how to have healthier relationships with my family, especially my parents, made a huge difference. (For me, that meant stuff like not playing the peacemaker anymore, getting to a point where I could be around/be the target of some of their unhealthy behaviors without shutting down, standing up for myself in a healthy way, refusing to play therapist for my parents, etc. It mostly boils down to not taking responsibility for other people's feelings anymore.)

He is a good guy for keeping up with it. That may destroy him in the end.

> This is an underlying issue to take care of yourself through therapy and possibly reading a TON of books. Like this [one] (http://www.amazon.com/Attached-Science-Adult-Attachment-YouFind/dp/1585429139/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458240900&sr=8-1&keywords=Attachment) and this one and one more that I cannot link for some odd reason but its more on the spiritual side but helped me IMMENSELY, well two books really, both by the same guy, Osho. One is called "Emotions: Freedom from Anger, Jealousy and Fear". The other book from Osho is called "Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships".

They really show you the why in terms of science and great anecdotes. If you don't like to read I suggest finding them on youtube and listening to them.

This is not something that'll fix itself overnight. Talk to him and tell him that you are working on it but it'll take time if he wants to stay and deal with it. Or else all your future relationships are doomed to fail.

Believe me I used to be that way. Jealousy is natural. What you feel is okay. How you control it is everything. Good luck and I'm sending you all the good vibes my raving friend.

P.S: Raves are dope. Hopefully doing Tomorrowland in 2017.

Neckbeards didn't learn those essentials, hence they need help. There aren't many books called "how to shave and not look like a fucking loser" and they aren't looking for how to clean up, they are looking how to meet women.

I just don't think it's good to stereotype, but I mostly agree. Anyone who calls themselves a PUA is likely a scumbag on the wrong side of things, but it doesn't mean that all the material is inherently evil, or being exposed to unethical ideas will turn you into a bad person.

Edit: Even the guy who wrote The Game (which is a pretty neutral view into the world of PUA's) wrote "The Truth" recently which was about how fucked up he got, and his slow road back to domestication and a healthy relationship.

The pick-up community did not yet get the memo.

I recommend reading The Truth by u/iamneilstrauss https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Uncomfortable-Book-About-Relationships/dp/0060898763

Even better, if you're really looking for love, check out Getting the Love You Want by Harville Hendrix: https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Love-You-Want-Anniversary/dp/0805087001

You're welcome!
