		<description><![CDATA[Heh, I enjoyed this quite a bit. One of my favorite posts from you. Oh the price of honesty. 

I would just point out that it seems there are 3 factors at work here:
1. Envy
2. Moral condemnation
3. Theoretical disagreement, mostly due to ignorance

I would hope that where we part ways, I am motivated mostly by 2. Which would mostly be about rotating vs permanent harem.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This makes perfect sense, though I&#039;d never made the distinction myself. I think there are plenty of women out there who confusion passionate interest with neediness as well, and there are many PUAs who seem to be playing the game to not lose these girls. I used to think the same way until I realized that true abundance meant being willing to let go of those girls who didn&#039;t fit the model for what I wanted in a woman. 

Interestingly, I was talking to one of my girlfriends though other day about something unrelated, and she made it a point to say that all of the girls she knows are hesitant to commit any energy to the aloof types. As a rule, they want to know a guy is genuinely interested in them before taking that next step (whether it be a second date, sex, or a relationship). Obviously not true for every girl in every situation, but I think it&#039;s a pretty good baseline to work from.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think there are two different spectra, one going from passion (at one extreme) to indifference (at the other), and one going from neediness to abundance.  I strive to be high on the first spectrum and low on the second.

It&#039;s hard for many men to untangle passion from need.  Men low on the sociosexual hierarchy have difficulty hiding their neediness except by faking indifference.  That&#039;s why aloofness sometimes works.  But it doesn&#039;t work as well as a passionate guy who has lots of options and alternates unpredictably between confident persistence and shifting his attention to other girls.

A lot of game is learning to fake the behaviors of men with abundant choices, ideally without sacrificing a strong sexual vibe and the courage to make bold moves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your words not only add no value, but are incomprehensible.  Do you mean to mean anything by them?  If so, you&#039;ll have to be more articulate.  A drive by sneer is not an argument.
