Pastiche Mentality

I recently had a chat with Ranko Magami of Attract & Date. My mentality has grown so much from his philosophy and the followers he's made an impact on... OBVIOUSLY! Here's what he had to say about forums.

me: now jnz from the old badboy cafe is having me take a break from all t he forums. i'm finding it hard to do his mission of not logging in for 3 weeks and simply admiring women
i've had this stuff too much on the brain
and i wanna stop reading so much
Ranko: forums are CRAP
:)
me: sheesh yeah...
i'm feeling more in tune with reality these days
Ranko: look
forum is against a&d principles
it motivates people to type
me: hmmm...
Ranko: instead of motivating people to DO
me: yeah i can see that
Ranko: forum has a postive part
but negative is bigger

Sure, forums can be nice. Very good for starting a journal, holding yourself accountable, getting advice, and teaching/exercising new beliefs. But the ultimate form of accomplishment is going out there and DOING IT. That's where your true assertiveness and courageousness will come from.

You have no business being on a forum without experiences to share that others can work with and critique. That's the only reason to be on there. If you're not doing shit, don't post! Put in the work first so that others can work with you. They'll do their 50%, but first you needa come up with yours.
