Thanks for the feedback, Scorpius.  I have to admit having a hard time relating to what you say just based on how I felt when I was younger, but I am not disagreeing.  When I was younger, I would have tried anything to solve my problem.  If someone told me that X solves the problem, I would have seriously investigated X to see if it had any hope, and if it did, I would have tried it.  I don't expect most guys to read Unwin.  But I do expect that when foreign women are offered as a solution, at least it gets investigated.  I expect real debate and discussion about all possible solutions including PUA, body building, and other suggestions.  It is the lack of this kind of discussion that makes me wonder whether men are really looking for solutions.

I did have a few "hot button" topics on LS, but most of my posts were not focused on these things.  And the stuff that most upset Ramm, like Unwin, seems completely harmless.  The ridicule thing is also hard for me to understand.  Most guys post with a username that has no connection to their real name, so what exposure do they have exactly?  Most of the ridicule was aimed at me and other guys who have given up on the mainstream anyway, so we don't care.  The only reason I can imagine ridicule mattering is for guys looking for sympathy, since ridicule is the opposite of sympathy.  But these guys are hopeless anyway.

Scorpius, I am just responding with my thoughts.  If I am wrong, just tell it to me like it is.  I want to understand these guys well enough so that I can decide whether this forum is worth my time.  What is your opinion, does this forum make sense?
