I agree. Anyone can think what they want in a vaccum, or in a safe space- but the second you open up for critique, or even put yourself out on that limb, then it's absolutely fair game to comment on it.
Also, we all want what we want, and most of us want something above our station, to some degree. But I'm talking about expectations, not mere desire. I think that's a distinction with a difference.
And for a lot of people, those outsized expectations can be harmful to themselves. Frankly, KS was NOT the guy to call if that was them.
But if you're going to present in a way that is dramatically off from what you're trying to get, AND you put that up for public consumption, I fail to see a reasonable issue with someone giving their two sense on it.
And, if we're being realistic, that #10 looking couple is the exception, not the rule. For a loose analogy, I say this as the 0 in that number, it would be entirely unrealistic to think I should be able to get that 1 while remaining that 0. I think I have shit to work on and improve if I want a *realistic* shot at that 1, much less that I deserve it.

I agree completely, and certainly didn't mean to imply that this was done in equal amount. But I do know that he did that for some time before his interactions with women started making the rounds.

Yep, and worse, that's an easy "win" for anyone. I show up prepped with certain info, and the average person isn't going to be able to refute it.

Yep.
And to be clear, while I don't see that surface "reality check/hard truth" piece to be *that* big of a deal on it's own, my main goal was to show that there are far more insidious elements of what KS does, that warrant far greater scrutiny. I feel like that part is just the gateway so he can do all the other shit.
