hi Johnny,

i haven't been on this forum for very long, but i have noticed most of your threads and posts are connected to a central theme. and i am curious about your intentions. (also, the whole fishing metaphor is a bit cliche, but i suppose it isn't cliche to those who aren't familiar with it... aside from the cliche thing, i do think your post was well-written. a very eloquent way of telling guys to accept responsibility for their role in something.)

so yeah... your intentions... is your goal to provide fuel for the pick up artist who only wants to garner additional notches on his belt? or is your goal to help guys increase self-esteem and self-love to attract committed partnerships? i suppose you might say your goal is to support whatever goal the male has for himself... i'm just wondering whether you have no problem contributing to the manipulative nature of the former PUA goal.

i did read your latest post to this thread, and if i were going to make an assumption i would say your goal is to help guys increase self-esteem and self-love to attract a healthy and longer-than-one-night partnership (with an additional goal of assisting men in applying your suggestions to life in general). but i like to sidestep assumption when i can, so i'm still asking my question.
