Thomas Hodges is a relationship coach for men under the pseudonym Doc Love .[2]
Teachings[edit]
The primary concept of the teachings of Doc Love is for a man to be a Challenge. Challenge is the most important reason that a woman stays attracted to and chooses to stay in a relationship with one man over another. (Here's what Doc Love advises: a female should initially have an Interest Level of 51% or more for Challenge to work. That is to say, Challenge will not work on females with a 49% or less Interest Level.)[3] Challenge is defined as "allowing the woman to do the pursuing". Other key ideas in "The System" include a list of Male Traits and Female Traits.
Doc Love's additional ideas from his philosophy include bringing salesmanship into the area of dating. One example is "closing the deal" with a woman by getting her home phone number. He teaches his students to assess a woman's Interest Level by placing more importance on her actions than what she says. Interest Level is defined as "degrees of love". Doc Love emphasizes the importance of looking only at the female Interest Level.
Doc Love's stated interest is to improve relationships between men and women, decrease the nation's divorce rate and gradually quell the 'war between the sexes'.
He criticizes other relationship experts for having no understanding of the concepts of Interest Level and Challenge.
Thomas Hodges borrowed the concept of Interest Level from Looking Out for #1 by the libertarian Robert Ringer, who also self-published his bestseller Winning Through Intimidation.[4] Thomas Hodges was inspired by Ringer to self-publish his materials.
In contrast to these other relationship experts Doc Love claims to be a true scientist: "I, in contrast and not realizing it at the time that I was a true scientist, tried a different approach: "Please tell me about the men you chose to stay with, who didn't wine you, dine you, and buy you flowers?"" In "Doc Love - The System (Synopsis)" The System is defined by Doc Love in this way: "To you Psych majors, "The System" is the result of a long-term study of the effects of male behavior on the behavior responses of women toward them, with applications for the male via behavior modification". Ironically, after a while, Doc Love began focusing more on empowering himself to control his own male students and impose on them his unstated interests:
Libertarians' excessive obsession with "Aristotelian" logic of Ayn Rand makes their systems for love and life impractical. Zadeh's Fuzzy Logic expands the logic of Aristotle, rather than replacing it, just as Einstein's theory of relativity merely compliments Newtonian mechanics where that paradigm lacks explanatory power. Men would be more successful with women if they accept that extreme cases of truth are uncommon in humanities. By claiming that he has a monopoly on truth, Doc Love is ignoring the reality that when it comes to social intelligence, fuzzy logic is closer to the way we arrive at truth.
Doc Love was also influenced by Robert Greene. Solomon and Sheba is a 1959 American epic historical romance film, which best demonstrates Robert Greene's 44th Law of Power: "disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect." Doc Love advises his followers (whom he calls "The System" guys) to spring their unstated Agenda on a woman after "The System" guy has raised her Interest Level. Prior to that, Doc Love's advice to "The System" guy is to disarm her by carefully tailoring his words to mirror her principles. This is the preeminent technique of con artists. By modeling himself on his target, "The System" guy is supposed to seduce her with the idea, that her values are superior to everyone else's. The target is not completely fooled. But that only strokes the target's Ego. The target is supposed to think: "Only in my presence, does Doc Love submit to virtuous influence. Only I have such power over Doc!" This is generally considered relationship fraud, because Doc reveals his actual principles to his targets, when it is too late for them to get away. With females it's high Interest Level, but with "The System" guys, because of how much time they have invested in "The System" they feel the need to protect their investment and are trapped. Pimpin Ken was also influenced by Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power. He wrote "Pimpology: The 48 Laws of the Game." He calls it the street version of of The 48 Laws of Power. Pimpin Ken's advice is just the opposite of Doc Love's. Pimpin Ken says that women chose him over other pimps because he did not lie about his principles due to fear of rejection. The 15th chapter of The 48 Laws of the Game is called "Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say". Doc Love has called pimps whale feces. This shows that The 48 Laws of Power have both positive and negative applications. They can be taken "by the blade, which cuts, or by the handle, which saves." In Solomon and Sheba, King Solomon applies the 44th Law of Power positively.
Science aims at understanding causality so control can be exerted. Changing public attitudes about male behaviour may lead to anti-male laws being passed prohibiting that behaviour (social engineering).[5] Prior to the internet age, every famous figure has traveled to a capital city at some point in his life, to be exposed to a broader range of experiences and ideas. When a person lacks such exposure as Doc Love does, his morality is primitive. This sort of innocence has become a problem because the internet has made it possible for people who spent their entire lives in languid backwaters to exert control. Countrification is generally viewed as insular. Countrification promotes intellectual inbreeding reduces the possibility of new ideas coming in from outside sources, just as genetic inbreeding reduces the possibility of new genes entering into a population. A country person can now exert control by means of internet radio or an advice column delivered through the internet. Self-made men are seldom afforded academic degrees, and thus the word love added to ology makes the word loveology; the word pimp added to ology makes the word pimpology. This serves as a counterbalance to the formal academic degrees and studies of "evolutionary psychology", "sociology", "neurophysiology", "zoology" etc. Therefore intellectual inbreeding is not confined to universities. Adversus solem ne loquitor.[6][7]
