I have been reading into the seduction community for awhile and feel that there might be some weird behavior going on, and it seems I was right-on. Just a great forum post that I thought I should share:

Ways The Seduction Community Can Make You Weird

Fullcrum · 01-21-2009, 11:08 PM

That post is exactly spot on.

Go for the new-agey stuff/NLP/hypnosis of its own accord, not to "trick girls into bed". That's just stupid.

These are all vehicles for expanded consciousness and human potential. They are simply tools, not to be used out of context.

I skimmed it and I read some fairly intelligent and interesting criticisms that apply not just to PUA community but PD in general, too. Good article, thanks for posting.

Great article. I really like it.

Great article. I liked what one of the posters said: "A good podcast about perspectives Is one written by a particularly weird fellow called Steve Pavlina." That was back in 2007.

Is anyone here actually part of the "seduction community"? I haven't really looked in to it.

I have a friend that was into it a few years ago before getting married. "The Game" can be healthy for a young man if he doesn't get stuck there.

Nothing could be more true.

I would argue in most cases most people don't go into the obsessed manipulative tactics used by the fringe.

For me the "seduction community" was a gateway into self improvement. I was in a dark time in my life, and the concepts offered me the control over my own life that I so desperately needed.

Saying that the whole seduction community is bad is the equivalent to saying all Muslims are terrorists .

The female tactics that are equivalent to PUA can warp your mind, too. You stop thinking of actual sincere connections. I saw it happen to my mom... a RulesGirl extraordinaire. She lost her capacity to really be in love.

I think what happens to you in the seduction community really depends on your core beliefs and principles. Very pricipled people tend to be able to navigate themselves in areas with a potential "dark side", and not succumb to it. From the few people I've seen in the seduction community, most of them seem to be quite happy and confident people.

The Seduction Community is awesome and anyone who says it isn't is an idiot.

Wow, that's a lot of links to follow. But anyway, that article was written by the guy who runs the websites How to do better socially | Free practical advice on social skills, getting along with people, and getting your act together and www.datinggroundwork.com | Information for hard-up guys on acquiring the basic foundations necessary to have future success with women.

Just in case you want to read more of his stuff.
