Real men and women find value in whatever it is you say whether they agree or disagree. There is no reason for you to explain yourself to anybody.

It would appear that you are really having a need to be heard, so I am publishing your comment. FYI, with the exception of the “Neediness and Dating Rules” post, I generally publish nearly every comment that I receive, even if the commenter disagrees with my views. At the same time, it’s important to me for this blog to be a forum that promotes non-judgment.

I hear a lot of judgment in your comment. My perspective on David’s work is quite different than yours. I see only love in his articles, and it seems to me that he is doing everything in his power to facilitate win/win relationships among men and women.

As for your statement about this blog focusing on “the seduction of a stranger over and over again,” well, I must admit that my need to be heard and understood for my intentions is not met by that comment. This blog focuses on creating enduring win/win relationships by improving communication. I have repeatedly stated that my interest in pickup artists is rooted in the spiritual path and relationship skills that PUA represents to me, and I have also firmly stated that I am interested in deep emotional connections and have zero interest in casual sex.

I certainly share your interest in facilitating deep win/win relationships in which women are appreciated rather than subjugated. I see David’s work as being quite consistent with that aspiration.

If you are open to suggestions, I highly recommend Marshall Rosenberg’s work. You are dealing here with a blog writer who has “giraffe ears” on and doesn’t hear criticism, but I predict that if you use words like “delusion” when talking with most people, you will alienate them rather than get both of your needs met (as Marshall says, it sounds to me like “a tragic and suicidal expression of unmet needs”).

With love,
Erika

and will you post this comment, or do you only post those that corroborate your delusion, rather than challenge it???

Done. I have quoted you on my blog.

I would like to interview you for my Masterful Lover VIP Inner Circle membership. You have a lot to share, and my clients would love to hear your views.

David

Btw, it was the most glorious ski day ever. And then dinner among dearly loved friends. I feel so incredibly blessed.

Erika wrote: “I heard a very refreshing perspective today: a guy who actually values a woman’s sexual experience. After spending a lot of time on a men’s forum trying to open guys’ minds and dissolve the madonna/whore judgments, it feels like a huge relief to know there are guys out there who don’t judge women for their sexuality. And who even embrace it.”

May I quote you?

David
