		<description><![CDATA[Reminds me of this poor bastard http://ask.metafilter.com/209166/Women-does-pickup-work-on-you who is probably in therapy and learning to knit to get laid. Interesting advice to become &quot;friends&quot; with middle-aged women hoping that they will pimp out younger friends... seems like a good excuse to get to know some girls in high school--I&#039;m really just planning on setting them up with some younger relatives who will make good boyfriends!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A girl I&#039;ve been gaming and who I always amp up the sexual tension with sent me a text...at 2:30 in the morning.

She&#039;s Chinese, I&#039;m not but can speak it.

Me;  In Chinese:  you&#039;re completely nuts

Her:Chinese slang:   You are a guy to watch out for.

The sexual tension and the &quot;naughty&quot; tone of her text are in stark contrast to the ASD she puts up whenever she gives IOI&#039;s and then pulls away...

Chicks love love love drama and emotion.  The idea from this blog is that a text like this is definitely evidence I&#039;m doing it right.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been studying Game for a few months now and just discovered this blog. The posts are fascinating and mindblowing! Thanks so much for opening my eyes and I&#039;ll visit here regularly.

I find your articles well-structured and written in a very logical way, which surprised me as you describe yourself as an outgoing extrovert. I thought only introverts would write in such a manner. Do you read and write a lot?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rollo I&#039;ve been reading your advice for many years and recently found your blog. Gotta say that you often offer remarkable insights. 

Got a question for you.

What&#039;s your take on religion? Growing up religious, there were always those people that seemed to say one thing (to prevent stirring up envy) while doing another (often involving sin). It&#039;s not rare - I mean, come on, this was one of Jesus&#039; main themes. I don&#039;t know if this is a conscious effort on their behalf, or perhaps a subconscious process, but this behavior seems quite solipsistic to me. Would you characterize these as the alphas in any religious group? They are essentially gaming the system.

On the other spectrum, there are those that believe and (often because) they are out-gamed by the first group, they want to believe in it even MORE (as the Matrix is supposedly there to protect them - at least eventually [heaven]). Thus, once you are trapped in the Matrix, it is hard to dig out due to this incredible desire to believe in it to prevent future danger. Thus, those in the second group will continue to invest their energy into behaviors that benefit others at the expense of themselves.

And, of course, there are many other categories in any religion.

Lots more I could write, but this has been on my mind as of recent.]]></description>
