In Five Dating/Seduction Blogs You Should Be Reading, we introduced you to big-name bloggers Roissy, Susan Walsh, Mark Manson, Rollo Tomassi, and the anonymous author of The Rules Revisited, popular writers whose work we’d been following long before we started our own blog. But there’s another blogger, wholly unique from these, that we never knew existed until we decided to set up our shop in WordPress. His name is Kenny, and you should be reading him. Here’s why:
Kenny’s PUA Thoughts: “Get Laid By Being Social” (@SocialKenny)
We didn’t discover Kenny, of course. He’s been around (no pun intended). No, he discovered us. But we got hooked on his blog immediately, and now we probably spend more time reading and debating his work than all the Big Five blogs’ newest releases combined.
Kenny does three things very well, things rare in blogs from his genre (and blogs in general these days); 1. He has original opinions and backs them up with documented successes, past and present; 2. He admits mistakes and documents them, too, putting them up for all to see; and, 3. He manages to do all this on the move, truly living up to his tagline.
Kenny has unique opinions, which is refreshing. Big blogs and other collaborative sites like Reddit sometimes devolve, turning from open forums to noisy echo chambers, constantly rehashing and reusing the same tired old ideas, censoring or attacking anyone who tries to break the cycle. Kenny’s blog is the anti-echo chamber. His comment threads are still alive (although sometimes we wonder what would happen if Kenny and all his commenters got together for drinks…). How does he keep it going? If you have a question, he will answer it. If you want to disagree, he’ll hear you out. And if you comment, he’ll go out of his way to comment back. That’s blogging, people. We’ve taken that lesson to heart.
Standing by failures and mistakes isn’t a common virtue in the blogosphere, but doing so proves a blogger is authentic, not just another bullshitter. This is especially true for PUA blogs, because some nights you go home alone even though you talked smooth, looked good, and sent just the right signals. It’s a statistical inevitability. After all, when dealing with people, nothing is certain. Unfortunately, many bloggers in this field refuse to show how, why, or when they fail. To them, game shall overcome. “If you fail,” they seem to say, “well, then it’s probably because you’re a beta pussy-boy.” You won’t see Kenny doing that shit. It doesn’t matter to him when he gets thrown out of a bar, has a shitty wingman who ruins his game for three consecutive weeks, or gets screwed over by unfavorable logistics. You’re going to see all of it…and be wiser for it afterwards.
Finally, the strongest aspect of Kenny’s blog is the evidence. He records everything, including himself. Many other bloggers give out tons of advice, but are as scopophobic as “Rick,” the famed operator of Backroom Casting Couch. You never see their names or their faces. Now, don’t get us wrong; we sympathize. HR can fire you for practically anything these days, and we suspect filming one-night-stands and bashing feminism are on many companies’ lists of terminable offenses. But still, we can’t help but admire bloggers that put everything on the line for what they believe, society be damned,* and we can always get behind a blog that eschews op-eds and rambling diatribes.
In addition to these three points, Kenny’s site is packed with content. You can find posts on a wide variety of topics other than pickup. Also, he has a YouTube channel and a podcast. And remember, if you have any questions to ask or insights to share, he’ll actually respond, so feel free.
* We personally don’t advise doing this.
