My chat with Seth Rose of Masculine Books

Had the unexpected pleasure of being invited to be interviewed by Seth Rose of Masculine Books recently, following their kind review of my bookOne Saturday Night: check out Seth'sreview hereand thefollow up interview.Over the years, I've had a couple of interview invites extended to me to regarding discussing myself and my involvement in the Seduction Community in Scotland, but eschewed the occasions. One was an invite to be a panellist on a BBC radio discussion of pickup as the 'expert,' another time was an interview sought by Napier University student newspaper based in Edinburgh. I just didn't want my name out there, my cover blown so to speak.I feel differently now. These days I'm not so bothered, and having written a book, I'd be glad to! That there being the difference I suppose: now I have something to promote, in a way I didn't before.On the topic of self-promotion, I used to despair of the commercial PUAs we'd get signing up toscotlair, the one post wonders who only chimed-in to do the same copy & paste promo they did on every other forum. Members wanted all commercial stuff banned but I didn't want to do that provided it was ring fenced from the rest of the forum. There was value in some of it for some guys, and I was never for censorship in the way some forums are. I prefer to let folks make up their own mind, and if they don't like what they're reading, then the replies are entertainment value in themselves.So, I don't spam my book on other forums or blogs etc. Speaking of other forums, now the London Seduction Society (theLSS) is gone, I can't think of another main UK clearing house that the commercial guys would go to in order to advertise? There are a few other forums still going with a UK slant, but many disallow commercial posts (unless it's the mods products) and relish in bringing down the hammerban on any offenders. You can get away with a link to your blog in your sig maybe, but that's about it.Anyway, this is a short one, I was about to go into a post about the state of the surviving PUA forums out there these days but I'll save that for an article of its own. I just wanted to link up and highlight the piece in Masculine Books. The interview segment can take up the slack for my lack of words on this occasion!
