Free registration at the forum removes this block.It had value to me. I really.. have for sometime now.. wanted to have a serious convo about this with a bunch of men whom I respect, like the good guys on this forum.
I have a short and fairly balanced post on this in the Mens Locker titled "Actung"... there's definitely an ethical way to approach this but as its such a polarising topic it's hard to have an honest disussion... am open to suggestions!
Only the ones Mother Nature deemed unfit to spread their progeny.
It's called natural selection for a reason.
I personally like this analogy: "If you got beat up by Mike Tyson, does that mean you can now teach other people how to fight?"But you need a fisherman to teach you how to catch fish!
Love this.Finally, if you're wondering about the relevance of the course/topic, I'll just say this: markets exist because they serve needs (duh), not the other way around. As such, it's not because a market disappears, that the needs it serves disappear as well
I mean no disrespect to you, but young women live in a bubble. They feel qualified to give guys advice on dating because they are a woman and "know what women like". This is really not the case.Hmmm. That’s interesting.. somebody I know wants me to make a course on dating. I had no idea there were courses on Udemy on it.. dating stuff online seems so .. unnecessary.. but I don’t have a problem meeting amazing ppl.
I’ve wanted to bring this topic up and hear what ppl say but I totes don’t want to be the person who brings it up. Lol.
Do guys really need or even want dating courses??

Recently I came across this video which illustrates my point pretty well: Tinder Experiment: 18 Yr Old Woman Tries Being A Man!!!

In restrospective, I regret having written this thread as it doesn't really bring any value to the community.
Things have changed so much that even if you are an outgoing guy, the offline avenue to meet girls In the 20s through friends or pub (cold setting) has reduced a lot because how young people interacted with one another changed.Yes, many do, unfortunately.
The internet has dramatically changed dating. And online dating has dramatically widened the pool of potential partners, combined with social media, things turn into a winner take all contest.
Though I think that much of this can be corrected by making men lift weights, socialize more with people with higher emotional intelligence, and developing some sense of mission in life.
I've mentioned this in other threads, but you can learn a lot about culture, technology, history, and more if you seriously look into why PUA even appeared in the first place.
I think that the overwhelming majority of guys that make their way to the PUA community are just nerds who want girlfriends. The people who read that material are probably a lot less nefarious than they get credit for.
As dictator I would shut down Tinder & co today, but I think that a lot of guys - guys who are overall pretty normal, but just behind on a few socials that compound into being loners - need help navigating the dating world.
Oh, and just a vulgar way to make that point - our society went from strangers meeting & banging that night via Craigslist or Tinder a few years ago to having masks become part of daily life (it's f*cking weird telling a girl that she looks like she'd be cute without the mask, even when she gives you her number). This shit will only get weirder, so some people should have guides.
And now having an IG and snapchat acc are somewhat a standard package in some countries for dating, just like LinkedIn for business.
I am the early 30s facebook generation. I still remember how I was “forced” to use facebook because how everyone In college was using it organise outing that if you don’t have one you cannot keep track of the date changes.I've had that happen a few times in the States - I'd ask for a girl's number and she said "what about Insta or Snapchat?" I don't.
But even though I find social media generally repulsive, I'd like to actually be able to relate to younger people in a decade, so I suppose that I'll have to learn it.
