		<description>“I’m dark and disturbed. Some people aren’t made for love. Other people are made for… cutting flesh.”

Would that line work on anyone apart from a 14-year-old emo with self-esteem issues?</description>

		<description>100% true
Plus there are further points why it should never be mentioned.

point number 3 
3. women are jealous creatures. she would always question your past even when its really over.

4.women fear men that have knowledge about women.it gives you a Edge over her..you know women how they think etc but you act like a idiot thats falling in love for the first time.
hence your experiences will guide you..and she will underestimate you if she is manipulative.

Be very careful of manipulative women 
They number in the Majority easily 70%

if you want to live a long life prepare yourself and always be 10 steps ahead and put your foot down anytime you feel displease or offended.

IF you care more about your relationship then your personal honor 
then your not being a MAN and shes going to dump you for it anyway.</description>

		<description>I find it interesting how AR above says that a 30 year old can raise an eyebrow if they haven&#039;t been in love before, and I mean real love.
Some people wear their emotions very surface and others need it&#039;s deeper which simply isn&#039;t easy to find. Everyone that&#039;s single has never found their perfect partner either, otherwise they wounldnt be single.</description>

		<description>I stumbled on this website by accident and read many of the responses. From a female perspective, I think men should know that honest open conversation is the only way to make a true connection with someone else. We can all tell when someone is being truthful or beating around the bush....well, after a certain age at least. When someone isn&#039;t authentic, they cease to be interesting, because there is nothing real there. Each human being&#039;s journey is so different and unique -- and if you really want to see if you have a connection with someone, you have to open up about who you authentically are. A 20 y/o man or woman saying they have never been in love doesn&#039;t raise as many eyebrows as a 30 or 35 y/o man or woman saying that. It does raise questions of being pretty guarded with your heart....most people have met someone that they cared about deeply, even if it was one sided. Love comes in lots of shapes and forms, and doesn&#039;t necessarily mean that it was reciprocated or even known. The truth is there are so many incredibly beautiful souls in the world, it is hard to make a life journey without someone bowling you over. The way someone describes another person they cared about always interests me because it says so much about the way that they love. This is incredibly fascinating. If we aren&#039;t ourselves, there is no possibility for real connection. The most seductive thing in the world is someone who likes you for who you are and vice versa.....there is nothing that gets near it. So be yourself!</description>

		<description>Roosh - I enjoy your site, and like reading of your travel experiences because I can relate to alot of it.

However, I dislike you telling your followers that one way is the correct way, and that is it. I don&#039;t think that is true. Roosh may want to you to think he is God of girls, so you will buy his books - hey this is a business. I can&#039;t hate.

But hey, if you want to tell a girl you have fallen in love - Go for it, if it is true. It all depends on the type of girl, and more importantly your past experiences. I agree with being yourself, as long as you have confidence and not look like a little pushover about it - go for it.

Going into situations worrying about the advice from one man which is backed by a &quot;harem&quot; of blog followers, will only likely lead you to question what you naturally will say. Unless your a skilled actor, you questioning yourself can be seen a mile away. Be confident, lead with your own thoughts - you&#039;ll sleep better at night, and in my opinion, have better chances than questioning yourself due to what some guy told you.

No disrespect, Roosh. I enjoy your stuff. Just my opinion</description>

		<description>“And if she asks what I’m doing I tell her I’m hanging out with a friend”


Roosh that&#039;s not called lying, that&#039;s called being DIPLOMATIC! the truth has many facets...but yeh, it is not necessarily brutally honest...I believe that brutal honesty can hurt more than it can help, it can get you fired, divorced and put in jail! 


 Herman Gruenwald once said &quot;if you want to succeed in life, then you have to be honest....but not stupidly honest&quot;</description>

		<description>Female chiming in here.  

Whoa.  Do you guys really think this? I found this site because I&#039;m dating a guy right now who told me that he&#039;s never been in love.  I know he isn&#039;t seeing anyone else and I know he digs me.  I like him and am attracted to him, but when he told me he&#039;s never been in love it just made me think - what&#039;s wrong with this picture?  He&#039;s 27 -- tell me if my expectations are unreasonable.  

Anyway, I am getting past it because I know we all have different life experiences and maybe he just hasn&#039;t meant a person who really captures his heart, but it absolutely leaves me wondering if his heart is even capturable and makes me want to take it SLOWER.  A smart, loving girl who is self confident is not likely to put herself in a position where she&#039;s sharing herself with a guy who could end up hurting her.  

Still, I wouldn&#039;t recommend that you lie about having been in love - either way - if you really like someone.  Honesty is the best policy with good girls and the best relationships are honest ones and that foundation is laid early on in the relationship.  But if you&#039;re just trying to get laid -- I&#039;m sure you can pick up lots of girls who are superficial, naive, lack intuition, or have low self esteem by creating and maintaining a facade (which seems like a lot of work by the way).  

I do like the idea about talking about what love means to each of you because people have different definitions.  I&#039;m going to have this convo with him at some point.</description>

		<description>When it comes to questions like this, I tend to usually answer with questions. In this particular instance, I ask her to define what love is but ask it in a way that almost challenges her i.e. &quot;Love (brief pause/sip of drink)... I suppose I&#039;d have to know what your perception of love is because that term seems to rather relative these days, much like the word hate&quot;. This gets a quick laugh, forces her to think and puts me in control. Unless she gives me a terribly shallow explanation as to what love is, my answer will end up being no, but this adds to the conversation and allows you to have some fun with it.

It all comes down to taking the lead no matter what you&#039;re doing with a woman; such is the beauty of Game.</description>

		<description>&quot;And if she asks what I’m doing I tell her I’m hanging out &lt;strong&gt;with a friend&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;

So you do the exact same thing I do (that I posted about a few days ago), which is lie. But hey if for some reason you consider girls you bang to be friends, then sure I do too. So neither of us lie. Yeah, right.

I think it&#039;s lovely to say &quot;I never lie to girls&quot; and &quot;I create my reality&quot; and &quot;I have a strong frame&quot; and blah blah blah but truth is you do the same shit that all other players do. You say you&#039;re busy, and then you lie by either saying it&#039;s with a &quot;friend&quot; or never admitting it&#039;s another girl that you&#039;re going to fuck. You&#039;re no different.

You&#039;re being incredibly disingenuous. Imagine if one of your readers just pulled what you did here, which is admit to something in a comment after refusing to &quot;ever&quot; do it. You&#039;d probably ignore his comments in the future that&#039;s what.</description>

		<description>I totally agree with this advice. 

It&#039;s great since I&#039;ve never been in love to begin with. 

I, too, once thought it would be better if I lied in order to appear more &quot;normal&quot;. But telling a girl that you&#039;ve never been in love (when she is ALREADY attracted to you) is solid game.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I find this very hard to believe, especially if you have a stable of girls going. When Saturday night rolls around and more than one girl wants to hang out with you, do you tell one of them, “Sorry baby I’m banging my other girl tonight but let’s do something monday night.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No. I say &quot;I&#039;m busy. How about Monday night?&quot; And if she asks what I&#039;m doing I tell her I&#039;m hanging out with a friend. And if she asks &quot;Who?&quot; (and it rarely ever gets to this point) I say &quot;Stop asking so many questions.  What are you, Nancy Drew?&quot;

I don&#039;t rub it in her face that I&#039;m seeing other people. At the same time, I don&#039;t lead her to think we&#039;re exclusive if I don&#039;t want to be exclusive.  

Being 100% honest is SOO liberating. Yes, it sometimes gets me into slightly hot water. But I&#039;d probably get into hot water if I were lying.

The thing is, as a nice guy, I used to lie to friends all the time.  But it was almost always to placate them, to take care of their feelings, etc.  Instead of just saying &quot;Not in the mood to go out tonight,&quot; I&#039;d have to make up some excuse.  Fuck that.  I&#039;m not in the mood so I&#039;m staying in.  No excuse necessary.

Being honest is extremely alpha.  There&#039;s a whole movement about it called radical honesty.  Check out this article from Esquire called &quot;I think Youré Fat.&quot; I don&#039;t take it to the extent he does it, but you get the idea.

		<description>&quot;I don’t lie to chicks. Ever.&quot;

Lying...Truth, its all the same thing.

Most times I have to lie for people to believe me.

The Truth is too unbelievable.

		<description>In this post I never said &quot;lie&quot; to a girl. I&#039;ve really never been in love, but before I had an urge to whitewash it so I appeared &quot;normal.&quot; I realized it&#039;s better to admit this truth. I figure most guys haven&#039;t been in love, so for them it&#039;s better to state this unequivocally.  And even if they have been in love once but they tell a girl they haven&#039;t... big fucking deal. 

&quot;I don’t lie to chicks. Ever.&quot;

I find this very hard to believe, especially if you have a stable of girls going. When Saturday night rolls around and more than one girl wants to hang out with you, do you tell one of them, &quot;Sorry baby I&#039;m banging my other girl tonight but let&#039;s do something monday night.&quot; If I am only banging one girl at a time, then sure it&#039;s very easy not to lie, so from your comment I&#039;m assuming you don&#039;t work with harems. But when you&#039;re juggling, always telling the truth is very difficult.</description>

		<description>I can see your point.  But...

If you have been in love before, why lie?  Ultimately, lying to a chick in order to try and reel her in is beta.

I don&#039;t lie to chicks. Ever. Fuck them. I refuse to alter one iota of my reality for some girl.  This is who I am. Welcome to my world.

This doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t frame things in my favor. Or change myself to become better. But by lying to others, you are telling yourself, over and over, that you aren&#039;t good enough the way you are.

You start to search your brain for the &quot;correct&quot; answer that will please her in some way rather than just be who you want to be.

Am I saying &quot;just be yourself&quot;? Yes, in a way I am. Of course, &quot;just be yourself&quot; is never as simple as people say. Saying &quot;just be confident&quot; never helped anyone.

But ultimately being yourself and being confident is what we&#039;re going for here. And lying is something that erodes your confidence in yourself.

		<description>Roosh,

I did not say be yourself.  I said focus on yourself... meaning actively do things that will make you into an attractive mate for women.  Being yourself is lame and gets you nowhere.  Working on yourself is not the same as being yourself.  The best way to improve your chances with girls is to become something more desirable... not to read advice given by pickup artists and treat hooking up with girls like some special skill that you can learn.

Love, Me Guy</description>
