The Social Issues Research Centre has put together a 26 page Guide to Flirting! Talk about upping your Attraction Quotient!
26 pages is a lot, but if you want the highlights, check out Arieanna’s summary on She Knows Best (one of my favorite websites for clueless guys like me). She’s even offered to answer questions from a female perspective…guys, this is your chance!

Looking for Solutions?
Are you looking for a life coach to help you overcome your challenges?
I still get a lot of emails from my readers who ask me for personal coaching. While I appreciate your trust in me, I don't have the means at the moment to provide adequate coaching.
If you're looking for solutions, I recommend you post at the Anthony Robbins Forums. Over there you'll find a large group of motivated, intelligent and loving people who will be more than willing to help you improve your life.

75% of this page is advertisements and only 25% is content, none of which is original. Why? Oh…

Oh what, Romerican?

With no prejudice, some people do leave comment as a strategy to hit someone with a trout over the head (like the irc people do) all in good spirit. Some leave comment coz they like the content or otherwise. Some do it to drive traffic to their own blog (I do that).
Post is under “good stuff to share” and the good stuff doesn’t always come out of our own treasure box
Romerican, I enjoy your posting about the milk bottles and packaging. Even when I am selectively lactose-intolerant, I can enjoy your post!
Good job!!

Hmmm… advertisements… I guess that’s cos Alvin’s blogging and sharing his passion for NLP on the blog for all without us paying 1000 bucks for a 5 day NLP retreat. And he’s gotta keep this blog o’ his alive and feed himself at the same time. It’s a trade-off for not having born with a silver spoon in the mouth. So, bear with the advertisements Romerican.

Thanks for the heads up, guys
Romerican, I’m not so sure why you would come to someone’s blog and criticise their work as 100% unoriginal.
But if you really need to know why there are so many ads around, like Hanthon mentioned, they help me to pay for the hosting fees, which are all coming out of my own pocket.
And like Pete said, ‘good stuff to share’ isn’t stuff from me
If you’d like you can continue to surf around our site and see if there’s anything useful lying around for you, and see how much of it is original.

Well… the complaint itself isn’t original. And, I’m sure I’m not being original when I say this. The fact is, specific communities need specific locations to really share interactions. Originality does not exist because even Eve was partly a replica, and Adam was nothing more than CLAY. Innovations DO exist, however… so I guess this blog is an unoriginal innovation as is anyone else’s thought pattern, basically nothing more than the same type of brain waves… doh…

I suppose my remarks were a little blunt, but I still believe them to be valid. I think my expectations came from this blog being a part of the 9 Rules network which is generally known for good content …yet most of what I see on this site seems to be short paraphrases of other people’s work.
Alvin, money. =]
Pete, good point but not my intention. I can see (now) the category being appropriate for this post, then. And they try to tell me that milk does a body good. Heh.
Han, I’m not anti-ads, per se… but a better content ratio is what I was expecting to find.
Alvin (again), feedback of all kinds can be a good thing (provided it’s not spam, of course). I trust you’ll take my comment for what it is: a drive-by opinion.
Stuart, put the meds down!

Hi Romerican!
I’m glad you came back, and it wasn’t just a hit and run
In that spirit, I do appreciate your opinion. You’re completely right, it is about the money. The hosting for the site costs money, and I think there’s nothing wrong with wanting to make a little more on the side for myself (although now it only pays for a cup of coffee or so a day).
I’m surprised you feel that there isn’t much original content here for you though, as I feel otherwise, and we’ve been working hard to make that so. Maybe it’s because there’s no easy way to gain access to the best of our stuff? Or…hmm…
Your feedback is noted

Haha, and a real nice coincidence, the guys over at Whitespace are having a discussion related to this:
http://9rules.com/whitespace/learning_design_emulate_or_challenge.php
‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’…I like that. Is innovation and expansion on stuff that’s already been there unoriginal?
To be honest, the more I read the personal productivity material out there, the more I coach, the more it seems that leading the good life boils down back to the same basic things that people have been preaching for centuries: be nice to people, work hard, have a positive attitude.
That’s probably it, everything else is there to help make it easier, adapting for specific age and place.
So! I don’t exactly know what you mean by unoriginal, as in you’ve heard this stuff before, it’s nothing new, or worse, ripping off other people’s content, but to me, the form and expression of timeless content can be original in itself, after all, no-one’s going to say what I say in the exact voice I say it.

Originality is really a sticky o’ elusive lil’ b*stard I find. Content ad ratio too is subjective, how many words to an ad? 500? 2000? or an ad per page? Right, back to the originality topic.
Romerican, this word I would say is piece together with Rome and American, right? That’s originality for you my friend. Taking two words, mash them in a salad bowl, voila! You get something new. This is not intended as a personal attack, just an example. Same thing for hollywood, fashion, etc. They are drawing inspirations from Bollywood(Asia)
Maybe you came here expecting to find a rocket scientist with a sense of humor whose blog is peppered with witty comments about how he works for NASA and recently put a dildo in Apollo 54’s engine room causing it to explode mid-launch as an april fool’s joke. Yet, not all of us wants to read about personal love and hate blogs, techno blog, Jerry Seinfeld funny blog or suicidal goth girl prose every single day, the blog community is full of diversified people with different levels of experience in different areas of expertise, live with it, not everyone is gonna blog funny. Alvin prefers a factual delivery of content backed with trial by error instances of people who has failed and succeeded in life through NLP(flirtation methods, problem handling, stress management or whatever) To put in a blunt way, he’s filtering for us using his experiences and know hows, at the same time sharing his personal NLP knowledge. Now, I agree that this site definitely has room for improvement, just give it some time. At the same time, with a name like Romerican commenting that this site is unoriginal without leaving any suggestions for improvement is somehow I find… Pretentious.
P.S. You write funny.
