I'm not sure what that means but I will look it up..

What I'm saying is that merely focusing on "your own situation"--as if it exists in a vacuum--is naive at best, and foolhardy at worst.
A man focusing on his own situation is "naive" and "foolhardy"???
We can agree to disagree on that.
I think that a man should focus intensely and almost exclusively on his own situation. Specifically, how to improve it.
I think focusing on the larger societal issues often distracts a man from the real problems, his problems.
Maybe, it's just a matter of philosophy?
Some guys want to solve the world,
I only want to solve myself.

To put your head down and just plow through worsening conditions without understanding what's going on, is not a good strategy.
A good strategy is one that works.
Putting your head down and plowing is another way to say Hard Work.
I have put my head down and approached thousands of college girls.
That is the single biggest reason for my success.
Because of that hard work and dedication, the conditions of my sex life improved. Conditions may get worse for the average guy, but again, I focus on improving my personal conditions not the conditions of the average man. By getting better, I actually raise the "average".
If everyone committed themselves to fixing their own problems, the national "average" would rise.

I don't think general improve-your-game-and-approach-more advice is the solution to all problems
Of course, it's not the solution to all problems but "Improving Ones Game" is the the most fundamental solution to all of his girl problems.
I mean, if a man is not willing to improve his game, he doesn't deserve to see results.
Personal development and improving ones dating strategy is the answer, in my opinion.

We're talking about surgical adjustments
Yes!
Surgical adjustments!
That's what I'm talking about.
The surgical adjustment I made was to start day gaming on a college campus. This allowed me to target the exact girls I want in a way that was fun and inspiring for me. It is not an energy drain or soul sucking.
I game on my terms. I encourage others to do the same.
Take responsibility for your life.
Look at the extreme action Roosh took. He moved to Europe. This is the best example we have for taking control of your own sex life!

On a societal level, I don't think there is a solution.
The majority of people just don't have the work ethic and mental fortitude to make change.
Society will always be "average."
But, as individuals, we must always work towards a solution.
What other choice do we have?
Observing the problem is good, discussing the problem is better, but, taking action to solve the problem is best!

lets talk about how to adjust to these specific new realities.
I would love to talk adjustments and solutions!
For me, the biggest keys were:
-Detaching myself emotionally from the highs and lows of gaming.
-Finding a strategy that was a good fit for my lifestyle.
-Improving my fashion
- Studying charisma and comedy
- Only day gaming 18-21 year olds
Those adjustments allowed me to find success in this new reality.

We're not newbies, you don't need to talk to us like we are.
I actually think this is a very advanced topic.
I will explain..
For most of history, man was only aware of his own problems. He was only aware of a small part of the world. Now, we are aware of nearly everyone's problems throughout the world.
This can lead to information overload and over stimulation.
We often think too much and have too much to think about..
Where should a man direct his attention?
You know what I'm going to say..
Himself
Modern man must cultivate himself. He is getting pulled on from every direction. Everyone wants our time and money and energy. We must be very cautious and wise about where we direct our attention.
Society will not save us, we must save ourselves!
Sorry, I am just the kind of man who focuses on solutions and not problems.

I know Roosh was just doing anthropological research and reporting his findings.
He could have focused on the "foreign girls and light skinned black girls" that he mentioned earlier. If he would have done that.. And, gotten a bang. This report might have been much different.
We might be talking about the importance of targeting a specific demographic rather than talking about this stuff..?
But, that said, I do think it's important to be aware of the pitfalls in front of you.
I just wanted to make the point that in my opinion, the Micro-view (self) is more important then the Macro-view (society)

Tut
I want to ask you again.. For the sake of helping other guys...
What did you do to become above average?
Let's talk solutions.
