Preface
I discovered the seduction community in late 2006, unaware that it was in fact a full-blown industry. For a variety of reasons I did not take much of what I read online seriously. In early 2008, when I finally devoted myself to learning how to seduce women, my progress was rapid. I have done what was considered impossible luckily I didn't know about it. My feats include having sex with women within minutes of meeting them, sometimes without exchanging any words. One of the main reasons of my incredible successes was that I did not listen to the many proclaimed truths. As it is the case in many other areas, I have found that the seduction industry cannot live up to its promises. Upon further investigation, I gained the impression that this is a sham industry that borders on being fraudulent.
As I was gaining prominence in some circles throughout 2008 and more and more people sought me out to learn from me, I also learnt how this industry works. I met a number of prominent figures in London, which all but left me disappointed. Even worse, what those people declared to be the truth about women turned out to be rather nonsensical. It is probably no coincidence that the very best guys I know either distance themselves entirely from the community or have never heard of it.
It didn't take long until some companies asked me to teach workshops for them. Some of those people had no history whatsoever and I wondered who those people were and what made them qualified to teach. Coming from an academic background, I was unaware that it is apparently the norm in business to become an expert by proclaiming to be one. The more I learnt about this industry, the more I was appalled by how it operates.
In August of 2008 I made a very controversial post on mASF, a large public forum dedicated to seduction. I rhetorically asked, Is the Pickup Industry a Sham Industry?. The response was staggering. It was one of the most hotly debated threads, slaughtered a couple of wannabe-gurus in its wake, and it is still regularly referred to. Almost two years later it remains to be one of the most-read posts on this forum with several thousand views. At that time, this post was prescient. Meanwhile, common sense has caught up with a critical mass, and in 2010 there is now a sizable group of people active to expose the absurdities the mainstream seduction community teaches.
In February 2010 I gave a talk on a conference dedicated to seduction. It was entitled Overcoming the Seduction Industry. Later I released the slides, which spread like wildfire. This book is an elaboration of that presentation. It is my hope that it will find an equally wide and warm reception. May it further debunk an industry that is rotten to its core. It is my hope that when I look back at Debunking the Seduction Community in a few years, it will be evident that it was instrumental in sinking the ship, or, in a more positive scenario, for changing the current state of affairs for the better.

Introduction
Many men seem to have problems getting the sex life they want, or just finding a partner. As a result, internet marketers eventually targeted this niche market. They try to lure in clueless guys to whom they sell mostly inadequate products. Business seems to be brimming. The background and qualifications of those people is rarely questioned, and critical thinking seems to be suspended. However, the anti-community movement on the Internet is growing, and Debunking the Seduction Community is my contribution to it.
This book has two main purposes. First, it aims to expose the mainstream seduction industry, to describe its borderline fraudulent machinations, and to explain why it can't keep its promises. In passing, I will discuss some prominent figures. Some space is devoted to popular concepts that sprang from the ever-so-rampant mental masturbation in this scene. However, if you have not been exposed to the seduction industry yet, feel free to skip the first part altogether, or read it strictly for entertainment purposes.
As a contrast, in the second part I describe how simple seduction really is. The principles are in fact so simple that it is no surprise why the human race managed to prosper for so long. If you have problems attracting women, this book will give you some blunt pointers on what to do.
The third part is dedicated to questions I have been asked either after my talk or via email.
Acknowledgements
I am grateful for having met Nashvilleplayboy, one of the sanest members of the forum mASF, which mostly is a bastion of mental masturbation. He gave me excellent down to earth advice. While other people tried to point me to pick-up theories and offered nothing but vague generalisations, he gave me concrete tips. In this regard, he is still an influence for me and my writing, which aims to be as practical as possible.
The following people gave feedback on drafts of this book: Dimitri, PUA Comic, KiNDER, TheLetter, 60YearsofChallenge, Rob Judge and TVA Oslo.
Lastly, I warmly thank my editor Corley for his excellent services and the meticulous attention he has paid to this book.

The seduction community, even though I prefer to call it the seduction industry, was the product of many angry and frustrated men that could not get girls, or even dates. Of course, there were some very sound reasons for it, which I will cover later.
Because admitting failures to oneself is difficult, those people put the blame on the women instead. Well, if I were a woman, I would not want to fuck a loser either. Some tried to come up with tactics and techniques, designed to get you into the pants of all the nymphos in the world, or at least into Betty's from next door. Those systems had a couple of things in common: they were mostly theoretical, and they were primarily intended to make someone money.
There never was a community or a brotherhood of men. From its inception, savvy businessmen tried to make money by exploiting the insecurities of other men. Take a look at one of the founders of this industry: Ross Jeffries claims that his system with the name Speed Seduction allows you, no matter how you look, how little money you have or how old you are, to get more women than you can handle. His staple are hypnotic commands imbedded in language. For instance, if you utter below me, the girl is supposed to hear blow me and get aroused invariably. Apparently it didn't occur to him that women actually love to talk about sex.
