I have a friend who’s wicked smart. Actually, I have a lot of friends who are wicked smart, like so smart it sort of boggles my mind how quickly they can understand things.
All of these guys are terrible teachers. They can't explain their way out of a cardboard box.
You know in math class where the teacher made us show our work? Well, these guys could go from step 2 to step 5 in their heads.
Meanwhile, people like me didn’t know if an integer was part of a recipe or a math problem.
Naturals are guys who are naturally good at doing something—anything. They can just pick something up without any effort and do well. These people don’t understand the process because they don’t need to. Why study each step when one can already get to the final boss? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
And that’s why naturals make for bad teachers; they don’t understand the struggles of lesser skilled people. They don’t know what its like to struggle.
People say the best teacher’s assistants for math class were the ones who took fundamentals math and not the honors kids. The honors kids were the naturals while the fundamental kids struggled and learned little tricks to help them pass.
Now, I’m not saying that all naturals are bad teachers or that one cannot learn from a natural, merely that just because someone is highly skilled, don’t assume they can also teach.

I agree to an extent. The thing is, people learn differently. We all have our different learning styles. Some learn through the visual, some through audio, and others by reading step by step processes.
The majority of guys in the seduction community learn through the step by step process. I didn't learn that way and never could. So how do I learn? By simply observing other naturals.
I'm short on time, but in short, it's not that they are terrible teachers, it's that his teaching style and your learning style aren't aligned.
