WIA - what's your take on Mark Manson's Models?
I haven't read it since it dropped, but I remember that it really resonated with guys who didn't like mystery. (I think most guys actually dislike who they think mystery is, or what he represents, not what he actually says)
1. Polarization is the first big thing everyone takes away from his book. 90% hates your guts, 10% will follow you over a cliff. It's okay to have haters.
2. Don't deal with shit tests. (Which fits nicely with the first point)
Even if you beat a chick in a battle of wits, what's the prize? A bitchy chick.
3. He was in SEA when he wrote it, versus guys in tough cities like San Francisco, Toronto, and D.C.
Could be wrong about the last part, but the two mains I'm pretty sure of.
I'd call his style "ping and bang".
Good for getting laid, great to keep your spirits up, but ultimately not good game.
Not everyone is in it for the skillset, they don't see the point as long as they're fucking
