The more I try to articulate my thoughts the clearer it becomes that I believe SM is too focused on sex whereas WM is too unfocused.
Actually, if Shannon were to combine these two programs, what do you think the focus of the program would be? What would the manifestations try to manifest? I think it'd just be like WM2 is now: manifest abundant beautiful women, with whom you can do as you please. And then added all the sexual stuff from SM3, except they wouldn't be as potent then because they lost the focus (OE). And the women that approached you would not necessarily be interested in seducing you.

Right now I feel that WM is focused on making beautiful single women available to you and helping you socialise with them and SM is focused on sex, sex and only sex. In my view, the first is a little bit pointless without an outcome and doesn't go far enough to make it comparable in value to SM and the second is far too narrowly focused to be appropriate for many peoples life situations.
I have had the same thoughts you're writing, but I think we're seeing too much into these 6-stage programs. Although the program has a clear identity like SM, or WM, its still just a collection of modules that all aim to enhance some part of your personality or deal with some limitation you have, not a complete personality replacement. SM comprises modules such as OGSF, confidence and self-validation related stuff, dealing with sexual issues, sexual performance, eye seduction, attracting women and making them want to seduce you, etc etc etc. The combined effect of enhancing all these parts of you is that you'll appear a more sexual person overall. And then WM includes modules that are more about socializing and relaxed enjoyment than sex.
It's like a class in school: this one teaches math, so you won't be hearing much biology in that class. Or cooking: you add some ingredient in there, but that's just adding to the taste that's already in there.
I'd think you already know what's appropriate, right and ethical for you, and that there are other goals above sex, without extra classes in it (subliminal or otherwise). I wouldn't think SM3 includes modules to directly oppose those or somehow clear those beliefs away, except by way of OGSF. And GSF is just covering what you really think is right and appropriate.
Of course I'm just guessing out lout, It'd be interesting to hear Shannon's take on this and on what it'd take to combine these programs. To combine physics and religion classes, to add chili without covering every other taste. The WM2 desription states: "The ability to shift yourself between serious, playful, sexual, and heartfelt, at will, smoothly and effectively, and back to any other of those states again.". I'm thinking running the stuff in SM3 before WM2 would make in much easier to enter that sexual state at will, and have it be that much more intense. Then WM2 would presumably magnify all those other states, and ease the shifting between them? The manifestations would prolly conflict, could they be solved in some way? What is there that conflicts? Auras?
