I don't tell other guys what to do. Personality traits and dating

I don't tell other guys what to do, unless they ask (or unless, in a business setting, I'm paying them)... even if they do ask, I aim to set up the problem space and the principles involved, then let them decide for themselves. There's some divergence between me and other other guys on topics (example), and that's fine.... read me, read them, decide for yourself. The basic principles of game and seduction are well established and if you want to ignore them, do it. I'm writing about my experiences and observations... maybe they'll work for you... maybe not... I have said to guys privately, "Assume everything I write is bullshit and try it out for yourself." What I do isn't for everyone... we all have different preferences, life experiences, big five personality traits, etc. What is right for me may not be right for you, or for other guys. I'm just talking about what I've found... and how I've organized it and what some of the underlying principles are, or seem to be. I also don't have the energy for online combat... it's largely pointless... if other guys want to do other things, good, go do them... that is fine. Experience teaches best.

I will argue that most guys don't understand what is possible, for the right guy, and most guys don't know s**t about women. The stories are about what's possible. We're social learners and I don't think most guys get how deep the rabbit hole goes.

In terms of five-factor personality, I am pretty open to experience, as regular readers will understand. My conscientious is strongly bifurcated... I am super conscientious in many respects, but also very easy going and careless in others... this could be unusual. I'm not sure. Extraversion is similar... I need to time to recharge from social experiences but I am also capable of managing social experiences, like all players must be. I can be agreeable in some ways, especially in social circumstances, but I have also read How To Win Friends and Influence People, and head-on disagreement rarely solves or improves anything. To change a person's view, come at the views via indirect angles that slowly change foundations over time. Direct disagreeability is usually counterproductive. Status/coolness first, THEN evangelize for whatever the thing is. I'm low neuroticism... no surprise there... many women are highly neurotic, and I calm them down well.
