Hey Hottunger,
I think maybe you got it twisted a bit, my man. For example,

Those three things are completely unrelated.
-Being macho (a good thing in moderation)
-"Walkling like a gunslinger" (read the post about it)
and
-Pushing people out of your way (a jackassedy behavior that I don't think
anyone is advocating)
Really, I wrote to calibrate, and be a person that commands respect, and then
people will move out of your way. Nobody's pushing anybody.
>- "AMOGing" guys, treating
>other people like shit,
These are also unrelated. I don't like traditional amogging techniques, but no
one's talking about treating other people like shit.

It's advocated, to an extent, because it works, to an extent. You balance it.
You don't walk around like a 'roided up musclehead all the time. Instead, you
move confidently, act dominantly, but also stay *cool*. You be easy, you relax,
you even get a little mushy if you want sometimes.
ijjji's post is a good one. He's being playful and flirty and making the girls
want more. He's basically being process-oriented instead of results-oriented
(he's just having fun, the girls push to make something happen). It's a great
approach. It works. Kudos to him.
It also doesn't mean that he's not macho. I'm guessing ijjji looks like a
badassed guy, and acts like one. But he's got a cute side too, and the women go
crazy because he's so multifaceted.

Apples and oranges. Challenging someone you met on the internet to a fight is
just pathetic. You've got to sort out the good information about acting like a
man, from petty bullshit like fighting. And just because one guy said something
like that, doesn't mean it's widespread, good advice.
