The Seduction Community Will Never Become Mainstream Because It’s Too Fricken’ Weird

Let’s face it; the seduction community truly is one step up above Dungeons & Dragons. We have our own terms, we keep score, we’re always looking for the “next book,” we have “dungeon masters” who tell us what to do, we talk about our “conquests,” and we honestly think we’re cool.

As long as people like Mystery continue making mainstream shows while using the terms set, LMR, PUA, approach, neg, kino, IOI, DLV, DHV, and routine, people are going to see “the community” as a bunch of weirdos.

When a guy first gets into The Game, he’s hesitant to tell people about it because he doesn’t want to share all the “secrets.” This lasts for about a month. He then gains a burning urge to share it with everyone. Shortly thereafter though, he realizes that the seduction community is nothing but a bunch of weird single guys with social problems who might be able to get laid but can’t get a long-term girlfriend—he becomes embarrassed to be part of it.

I think the vast majority of normal guys get into the community for a year or two, gain a basic understanding of women, and then get a girlfriend. Lots of these guys though stick around strictly for the WWE soap opera-ness of it all.

I was at a party last week and a guy used the term “social proof.” It was awkward. As I looked around, I could see that most of the guys knew the term by the look on their faces, but none of them wanted to react—kinda like when someone mentions a porn star’s name: “who’s that?”

As long as the community continues to be weird, guys will keep it underground. Since the normal guys get out and the weird guys remain, it will probably be weird for all of eternity.
