Bringing the forum back: Buddy System

[Shampoo]

Like it or not, this forum is slowly falling apart. People are asking questions but the questions are either not answered OR not answered correctly. It seems like everyone is trying to learn but only one person knows how to answer ALL the questions and is being a teacher. We are just recycling what we read on the internet but are not applying it in real life. The demand of answers is HIGH while the supply has come to a point where its basically run out. WE are at a breaking point, the forum is almost dead, BUT NOT QUITE. I have an idea. A brilliant one I believe. Alot of us were good, but we hit what weight lifters call plateau, what baseball players call a slump, and what writers call a block. We are shells of our past selves BUT with the system I am about to present TO THE FORUM we will all TOGETHER be PUA.
Everyone, I present to you the Buddy System.

The Buddy System is a system where the forum works together and writes what they accomplished for a day. Each guy highlights what he did for the day. But dont think its going to be about non sense. There will be weekly goals for everyone to try to accomplish. They write IF they did it, WHAT they did, and HOW they did it. Pictures would actually help out the situation so people can actually get motivated and get off their lazy asses. We have until next Monday to start this shit off and edit it so lets get this project started!

Sounds good in theory and it might help the newbies, but I have other shit to do than play pick-up-chicks every day. Putting women at the top is not a good idea.

[paradox]

sounds awesome bro I would love to get involved

[RMO]

if you could be more clear on the buddy system i would be more then happy to help. HCG is just one part of what can help so if people want to help out with forum, it would be cool.

I personally disagree with you saying that this forum is pretty much dead. The old members of this forum who now REALLY know what they are talking about have practically left. But hey, when you go off to college, you will too. We have a major influx of AFC's and people who are trying to act like they know what they are talking about, but hey, this is the next generation of HSPUA's in the upcoming. I know many people may not be applying it in real life, but i personally don't believe that i should try to help other people unless i've tried it myself. So i do get out there and tear shit up . We are ALL here to learn, obviously. I know i still feel like i have to learn so much more and i'm sure i will keep learning until i die. (senior citizen PUA board--imagine that). But i also feel like there are definitely active members of the board who HAVE learned enough to be able to help other and newcomers -- who all have potential to be active members and productive members in the future. We aren't recycling answers, were just being asked the same question, time and time again by new members. What else are we supposed to do but give the same answer we gave to the last 15 people who asked the very same question? This forum seems to be getting considerable internet traffic resulting in high amounts of new members with high amounts of those questions we all asked when we first began on this forum. Which is definitely not a bad thing. Yes, no one is writing articles like they used to, but most of us have not become amazing PUAs either (i know i'm no master; i'm not a shitwad either though). I'm sure before our time is up on our forum we will have taught our fair share. I believe that I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this one: this forum is raising a new generation of highschool PUAs, the old ones have retired.

That being said, i believe this is a GREAT idea to help boost our learning and liven up the forum a bit. This is exactly what we need more of. I don't think we could do weekly missions like obtain a k-close because some of us aren't in positions to be able to do stuff like that on a weekly basis (i live in a SMALL town and you can't exactly be hitting on a lot of girls at once like that without word getting around and stickin a big dildo up your sex lifes ass. other than that, It would be do able for me except for the fact that I am currently talking to a girl). Maybe we could do things along the lines of: Applying specific inner game concepts for a week and reporting results? Implementing concepts in conversation? Other ideas? I can't think of many off hand but i'm sure we could come up with some great ones. On second thought, i'd actually be down for something like obtaining a kiss close. Make it challenging, and even if you aren't able to obtain for reasons x, y, and z (which i'm sure everyone will have ) you can reflect on what you did, what you did right and what you did wrong. I personally really enjoy how i tend to change my mind throughtout the course of writing posts than am to lazy to go back and change what i said earlier. Synopsis of my thoughts: GREAT IDEA MAN, LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!

^what he said lol

[dartzxx]

I like the idea, conversational threads and inner game would be a good focus. I'd like to start one.

[eagle]

Yes, community-wide missions sound great. The gods (old staff) have left us and now we rule. Sad part is we will graduate and leave as well so the people we train now and in the next few years will be in the spot where we are.

I speak as a rAFC of course.

[Shampoo]

Alright so just to clear some stuff up, It would be in this type of format: (Main Goal Page)

Week 1: 1/17-1/23

Options: (I'm thinking more options, the better)

- Talk to 2 people you dont know
- Flirt with a girl you like
- Make a new friend
- Go out with friends on Friday

Mabe we can lessen the options but thats for this forum as a whole to decide. Not the best examples but you guys got the point. Then if I was a participant of Week 1 I would post on it like this:

Shampoo's Week 1

Option 2 and 3 on Tuesday and Saturday. I walked up to this girl who wasn't the hottest girl but was decent. I made I contact with her. I felt a little nervous but I swallowed the feeling and went for it anyway. (As you see, I wrote what I was feeling, and what I did to accomplish the goal, so if other people failed the task, they can learn from your expierence and hopefully they will be motivated that other people are feeling the same way as you but can do it.)

Then mabe I'll post like a tip or two that helped you. The goal is try to complete the tasks or at least try. Mabe even a picture so it would be more realistic.

[RMO]

I'm going to set up a buddy system journal. I live in a small town, no real parties every week, and as such, I'll just post up little things I learn everyday. setting up goals is a good idea.

[Contempt]

Options meaning you get to choose one? or you have to try to do them all? I personally think you should try for atleast 3 out of the 4 of those. You guys down for making those the official first week tasks? if so someone should make a thread stating what the options for the week are and so that people can post their accomplishments...

-Contempt

[canadiankid]

Agreed with contempt and prodigy. Also those ideas are a decent start.

[potter]

Sounds like a good idea.

Would make me want to commit to my goals more.

[canadiankid]

Question: Should I start the post now?
Also do we respond in our own journals or on the post?

Quick thought: different levels, like a newcomer AFC would start off with a new friend, approach two girls at your school etc but someone with more experience would be along the lines of k close

I guess Prodigy is starting a post and we respond in the Buddy System post.

I agree with the different levels but if we do that AFCs wont have as much motivation. So I was thinking we all start the same, so people with experience can kind of refresh their game and help motivate the unexperienced with things you actually learned from the field.
