For many guys who have no hope with girls, the seduction community has been like a beacon of light at the end of a very cold dark tunnel. A lot of pickup artists do the same things as well - like having others pay to get help from them, because they know what they're doing. Also I think that saying that all pickup artists manipulate the minds of women is stretching it just a little bit. The unfortunate thing is that you're mostly very very right about the whole seduction community, and I'd much rather follow your recommended path since not only is it much healthier but also far more natural and enjoyable. However I think that the seduction community and its proponents BECOME that path to self-improvement for many guys, the path that you talk about. It's very difficult to know how to handle those male-to-female interactions for many guys without the pickup stuff. It seems impossible to just do it by yourself. And when it starts working for guys, they get hooked. I'd love to be able to forget all the pickup stuff and just get what I want super-easy. Can it truly, really be that simple? .....
