The Seduction Community is full of strange people, ideas, and practices. Not just about how to get women, but also about itself and the people who are its members. Why is it like this? What made it get this way? Not every subculture that forms around an interest is weird, why this one? How does the weirdness sustain itself? Here are my thoughts, sadly drawn from my formerly being a paragon of most of these points myself...
Likewise.
Many of the guys who get into this stuff are weird themselves
Some guys who get into the Community are pretty well-adjusted, cool dudes. Some of them aren't though. They have issues such as:
* They're socially awkward or off-putting.
* They have odd personality quirks.
* They hold strange beliefs about the world.
* They have all these little issues and hang ups that prevent them from being able to connect with other people.
* Their mental health may not be top notch.
Everyone has experienced these at one point another, but what I've noticed about community guys, is that they never seem to pick up on their issues. Instead, they ignore it, and refuse to admit that they have a real problem and that they need to get help or stop doing what they're doing.
I originally thought this was just one or two guys, but over time, I realized that this was not an isolated issue, and that many of these guys really didn't understand that they were weird and chose to do nothing about it other than keep being socially incompetent.
And importantly, they often don't have a lot of insight into how they come across. They may even have a distorted view of themselves and think they're cool or superior, when most people would say otherwise. I was once one of these people, boy was I ever.
These guys aren't weird in the good 'misunderstood creative, artistic, non-conformist genius' sense of the word either, although they may tell themselves they are. They're just messed up guys who are behind in their social development. This doesn't imply they're bad people though, many of them are still good guys despite their oddness.
