Yes. And if you don’t do it, you will lose him for good. So what is there to lose?

I completely agree. They are state influencers. But at least Harald seemed to fill a purpose and he was down to earth and relateable. Haakon is, and I think has always been a NPC. But I this just might be a reflection of the commercialisation of the royal institution. They aren't allowed to be themselves. They dont serve democratic function, but they serve their countries interest by building relations with other countries. But I am not in favour for Norway to still be a monarchy. I think that time is over. But I honestly, I think that the discussion is a bit more neuanced than royal people just being some pretensious bullshit thing. Maybe it was well fitted in some part of the historic context.

Good analogy, and i'm really starting to see your point on women not needing to worry so much about attraction. Yet another part of me is not so sold yet, if we look around, women are obsessed with being attractive! Is that just for themselves? Is it for other women (I've heard that theory) I can't help but think if a Woman walks into a bar with a slim black dress exposing the side of her legs and hips (fertility cues), long wavy hair with extensions (again, health & fertility cues), and her breasts in a push up bra (you guessed it, fertility and youth cue) that this isn't for anything other than attracting men. So there has to be some serious import and value to that or else people wouldn't do it. A part of me still has the feeling that the most attractive women get the higher quality options. If we're looking at things like resources, a young beautiful will woman will have plenty of charming, confident, wealthy, men pursuing her, will some of those guys be tricksters and putting on a front? Absolutely! But she can hone her discernment (like you said) and chose a solid one. A 2 or 3.... I don't see getting many courting options from wealthy, social intelligent, powerful men. Now, some women don't care about money, power, wealth, status, which is great, because personally i think a lot of that shit is superficial except for a man having personal power and strength, social skills/status and financial stability, but that's not the majority. Also, notice how in your analogy the male birds are still fucked if they don't learn how to sing and dance and be colorful. So learning to attract (which takes practice and is a skill developed over time) ie "ATTRACTION SKILLS" is essential for them. Hate on pick-up as much as you'd like, but without some form of learning dating skills, men will be colorless birds squaking awkward songs and fumbling around trying to dance and absolutely no female birs will want them. Human attraction is a mating dance exactly like bird calling is.

Do it. Not weird at all. He’ll most likely be glad you reached out.

Let's all chant Your body, my body Everybody work your body Your body, my body Everybody work your body Your body, my body Everybody work your body Your body, my body Everybody work your body Body, body, body, every body talks to body. ( “The body will never misguide you, you can trust it, and you can trust it absolutely.” — Osho) Every body, every body, there’s nobody in this body, just body talking to body in nobody. Body talk, body talk, just a bag of bones jumping bones. All day long and at the end of the day. -
I gotta agree here, I don't think we should castrate ourselves or guilt ourselves for having casual sex with women. It doesn't need to be "I'm either with my wife or i'm celibate" , nothing wrong with having lovers. To me, the disgusting fucked up thing is leading on and tricking a girl to open her heart, then abusing that vulnerablitiy to extract sex. And when you are honest about where you are at, it will in some cases lead to less sex, as a man that's just the pill you gotta swallow for being in integrity and not tricking women

I now see what you are saying here and that makes sense. Never thought of it like that but it makes sense. This i have to disagree with, because for a man to get results here he has to genuinely develop himself in a certain way. It's not the same for women, if a woman wants sexual / validation results all she needs to do is dress skimpy and act easy. That's why i see the development of sexual and attraction skills as a great mirror for men to develop themselves. And it can be done with integrity and ethics. Also, like i said, if they never learn these skills they are basically fucked- no one is coming knocking on a guys door begging for a date, he has to learn how to build attraction and have options or else he will become desperate. The main argument i would hold here again is the fundamental difference between male and female sexuality. As you stated earlier, women don't have problems with attraction and options, if it has legs-there's a guy who will fuck it. For men , it's not the same at all. Tons of men have absolutely no options and if they suck at confidence, flirtation, physical escalation, eye contact and generally being comfortable in their sexuality the will "ick out" 99% of the women they talk to- even if they've developed a great character. The sexual and attraction skills in themselves are their own thing that men need to develop. Also, i have a feeling that most women, when they sleep with a man, are actually usually interested in something deeper whether they will admit it or not. A man is okay having sex with a woman he could never see as a wife, i think for women it's not the same. Sure , that's a cool and level headed way to go about it. I like that you include room for some "Saltiness" (human imperfection) and weigh it with their good qualities. That's healthy.

i met someone at a hostel two weeks ago and we had a few conversations. we didn't exchange numbers, but i liked him and he was very charismatic. found him online and i am wondering if it would be weird to reach out to him? he's a little older than me, so maybe he'd find it weird if i leech onto him like that.

Stating LLMs are AGI misses the fundamental gaps LLMs have. Not being AGI does not mean they aren't extremely useful, however. -
@Leo Gura Why did you have so many women?

My first 5g shroom trip years ago. I could not stop laughing for over 45 minutes straight. I literally wanted to stop because it started to hurt but I couldnt. You would of thought that I was insane as well.

Relatively speaking, yes. Which means that relatively speaking, it is also true. Hence: Fascinating, huh? -
PsychedelicEagle replied to Monster Energy's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Hahaha. What made the breakthrough from 100% to 101%? Less than 80% I'd say. Still got a lot of contemplation, self inquiry, and generally spiritual work to do. Among many of my psychedelic trips, two I consider awakenings, but after coming back from them my worldview and self identity remained similar to before. In parallel, I'm working on solidifying myself into stage yellow, which requires a lot of systems thinking — a bit orthogonal to spirituality in my eyes but hopefully indirectly building a base for later spiritual growth. Any advice is welcome. -

Only with friends or people who I deem Pluralists or beyond (or Stage Green and beyond, for SD). Otherwise it's just a waste of time; they won't be able to understand where you're coming from, or the significance of it. -

@Cocolove Sorry for your loss, and thanks for sharing. Also curious to learn about this. -

I’m sorry for your loss. How long ago did she pass away? What made you believe they’re 100% real? Did the medium speak with specific facts from the gf’s life that the medium couldn’t have known, or smth like that? -
I often use AI to brainstorm, but I wrote the post myself. I deliberately use ; and — in my writing. Sure, I'm not saying you're below or above such points, just providing some leverage points. These are often dynamic depending on your life stage. I still find myself craving sex or female companionship at times, but at a much lower frequency and intensity than before I "solidified" myself into post-conventional stages. Only recently some of these perspectives made into what seems the emotional layer of my self, changing my experience (how I feel) and behavior. The example I gave with moving into post-conventional happened to me personally.

@LordFall It's more psychological than biological. No amount of independence or self-sufficiency will free women from their permanent need for a man.
-
Women need men as a collective through the state but not really individual men for the most part. That’s precisely why the percentage of single, self-sufficient women keeps climbing. If a man thinks he's "food, water, and shelter" in modern dating, he's projecting a 1950s survival dynamic onto an era where women are selecting for genuine lifestyle, polarity, and excitement and don't need basic utility.
-
Women need men more than men need women. A man's need for a woman is momentary, might be big and explosive (more impulsive), but still momentary. A woman's need for a man is more quiet but permanent. If women are drugs, then men are food and water and shelter.

Anyone is sleeping when AGI is starting to really happen. if you see what it does in 3D, it's basically game over. Like the fucking fuck. 3D designer must be crying, I saw someone close his X account ( not a bate ) because he was getting depressed by ASTRA. for a good reason. https://x.com/tomkrcha/status/2095756085890310311 https://x.com/emmanuel_2m/status/2096015049529647574 https://x.com/MatthewBerman/status/2095620888695902366 https://x.com/Dimillian/status/2095596700815516004 -
@oOo Awesome, I will look forward to your review of Astra. Please post here your impressions.
