I've read some of the forums and the guys sound like they live in a fantasy world yet still manage to feel bitter and angry all the time. They don't seem happy or successful much. What's really telling is if you read some of the older guys on there complain about how they're resigned to just die alone because no one will fall for their bullshit anymore.

As Dave Futrelle noted, most of these guys are perfectly average-looking - hardly "repulsive" nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #13

Oh god. Not pop-pseudoscience (especially when it's for profit)... <__< chrisa Jun 2014 #14
