The only one that I think would have no legal risk in NL are truffles and Salvia. Its negative is that it will build tolerance.

This is another OJ case, where the defense has effectively shifted the blame to a systemic issue, with on demographic focusing on the systemic issue (psychiatry and post-partum depression) and the other purely on the crime. It's a bit silly though. Getting emotional over systemic issue, be it psychiatry or racism, doesn't change the fact if you murdered someone or not. It's like ragebait.

What is integrity?

Dang, I just had to double-check in order to make sure that this wasn't a post that I had written myself. ...or was it? -

Will do, relatively speaking. 😘 -
Sorry, bad framing on my end. What I meant is the tea bag itself should not be made out of plastic. Because when heated it releases microplastics and chemicals occurring in plastics. I don't drink tea, but personally I'd only trust buying the tea plants myself and then using my own tea bags or these stainless steel mini strainers — even better. Especially if it's something you do daily. @Zenterus Rhonda Patrick has been quite vocal on the microplastics issue recently: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/protect-against-microplastics

Would NL or Brazil be alternatives? NL: 5-MeO is really not a scheduled substance, but not legalized either — gray zone. Not sure what the consequences would be if someone is caught carrying out a retreat with such substances. Probably not worth the risk. Brazil: Ayahuasca is legal only inside a religious ritual context. There would need to be... Sounds risky too.

If the whole thing on women wanting a guy uglier than them is true, then that means looksmaxxing and men obsessing over their looks is actually backfiring which i find low key hilarious.
-
The flakiness is annoying but i feel like that's nothing new, especially for women. I find the delicacy of the attraction process to be wildly annoying because the smallest mistep will sabotage the process, especially if you are talking about women who have a lot of options and attention. With an uglier woman there is more wiggle room for fucking ups. But then all again, all the more reason to culitvate mastery and have fun with it I guess.

@PsychedelicEagle how can I check for microplastics in my tea bags?

Exactly! +1000

That's true and it's important to acknowledge these very real factors. It's never been harder to date and mate. However, in my eyes, that makes learning attraction all the more important. Most of my female friends have pretty much fully opted out of casual sex or even dating, or have serious avoidant tendencies- beautiful young women, who haven't had intimacy in sometimes 1 year+. So it's like the Red Queen effect (if you are familiar with that) but you have to just keep up with the changing times and environment (or you don't get sex) and to me that means really understanding and implementing attraction skills. This month alone I exchanged sexual energy with 3 very beautiful women, women who get 2/3 approaches per day, one was a model. I don't share that to brag but to mention that had i not studied deeper levels of attraction theory , this might not have happened. Personally, i realized many low hanging fruits that i had while studying attraction (and going out into the feild) in the last 4 months, helped me fix those. It's definitely not as simple as "just go socialize more" But yeah if you just sit around theorizing it will get you nowhere i agree. Again, i don't see the problem here, it's making men develop past just being mysognistic losers that women have to put up with because they have no other choice. I see it as a welcomed challenge to better myself to a point that a woman chooses me not because she needs me like some 1950s desperate housewife, but because she chooses for me my qualities and development. It's a double edged sword though because these days you truly have be outstanding to get consistent success with women, and many men don't have the time energy and money to do that level of inner work.

Sad to hear it didn't work out. Personally I would attend even if knowing I had 1% chances of breaking through, but I understand the decision. Carrying out such innovative/transformative retreat is not easy. +1000 Even if online, but in person it'd be even cooler. 😎

That's what i usually see as well. Again, what woman wouldn't be stoked on dating Brad Pitt?

Yes I agree. But it mostly is teaching them how to be normal humans. To no be autistic and be able to have fun in social contexts. And yea, some technical details of course. But I am so tired about this subject. It is discussed so much and still most people who discuss it all day still suck. The problem is more systemic than "guys suck nowadays". 1. Social media and dating apps give women waaay to much power. Guys would also abuse that power if they had it. Mostly by sleeping with the whole city. 2. Social environment is shit. People don't meet anymore, rarely make new friends, are individualistic as fuck, do not dare to be vulnerable and warm. Everyone is a fucking snowflake that disappears at the first conflict. Of course not everyone. 3. Economic and cultural environment changed. Women have their own money now. They don't need a man to help them survive anymore. Therefore the culture changed in the way that there is much less social pressure on women to find a man and be a good little wife. Especially the latter, exposed the underdevelopment in men..women had no choice before. Now they have and if men don't match expectations, they are ignored. I think we had lots creepy and disgusting men back in the days, but they still could lock in a woman because the times permitted them that luxury.

Fine. But because women are more attracted to internal qualities, i can't help but think Joe is less of a great option. If Joe spent a decade building his confidence, wealth, status and social skills, he might have been sleeping with women who are way hotter than Sarah, but since he didn't, Sarah is the best option he can get. If Sarah doesn't care about confidence, status, financial stability, social skills, charisma, then good for her, this works out then. But this just re-circles our conversation and I think it's clear which hill each of us wants to die on. Why do women obsess, compete, and do everything in their power to become more beautiful then? I think that any man who has put a ton of time and energy into building himself and his life is going to want a beautiful woman by his side, doesn't mean she also can't be a great match chemistry and internally too. Idk , i don't really mind dating strong women. It doesn't intimidate me, it's kinda hot actually, only if they have a big ego about it and use it to devalue my ideas and work, then it's no problem. If i can still share my life purpose work with her and she is interested, admiring, and curious that's all i care about. Let's crush life together! But yeah if she is like trying to out-compete me or one-up me or any of that masculine type energy then i am out. But i want to date a woman with a mission and purpose and her own mastery. I also do want her to admire my mind. I think if Brad Pitt wanted to date a 4, she would have no problem with that. But maybe i'm wrong. This idea of women wanting less attractive men than them is new to me. Interesting Fair enough, if that's true, I can see how i'd be projecting my bias onto that dynamic. Are you sure about that? Maybe it's not as cartoonish as Hot Trophy Wife gives sex, Rich Billionare gives money- but most relationships are some form of transaction and economics. Not saying Love isn't real or at play but it's certainly more conditional than most will admit and if the conditions of the promised transaction are violated, the love goes away. It really is like a form of business negotiation, just without the formal paperwork, but lots of informal unspoken agreements and terms. Of course, many. But i never fall into desperation , neediness, or putting up with low quality behavior just to prove that she is my beloved. There was a Brazilian woman i loved more than life itself, and she crossed a certain line, i ended up blocking her immediately and not opening that door again for years (which was a mistake re-opening anyway). I have no problem ending things with a woman who is acting out of line. To me, this is the grounds for a respectful and powerful relationship. I don't want her to be needy for me either, if she's not enjoying it any more, I would hope that she would be non-needy enough to leave me. I don't find pushing through or forcing a relationship that isn't working to be endearing in any way and I'd rather just be alone if that's that case. I will not tolerate certain things and whether she is my beloved or not, there is conditions on the love. I know that goes against modern unconditional love ideals but i don't care. Yeah, i mean if this comes down to leadership in the relationship then i'd agree. I have no problem with her being strong, but if she is stubborn and challenging me on everything then i don't want it. I need to be able to lead in a relationship. That's interesting and does make sense. I've just never heard any women talk about this before.

Sunlight and meditation in the morning. First one is not easy in the NL, I know, but when you can, it could help. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-09785-3 Also check if you chamomile tea is not served in bags with microplastics. Especially cause we pour boiling water on them, they release harmful chemicals. And avoid eating 3-4hrs before bed to further boost sleep.

Corrupt judges are a problem regardless if you have the death penalty or not. Getting caught in 4k murderizing is an acceptable standard for capital I think. There's no doubt that Breivik or most school shooters aren't guilty. We aren't gaining anything by treating the unacceptable with kid gloves.

I think learning attraction theory can help guys really figure out some low hanging fruits, obvious stuff, and it does go pretty deep. I like studying it solely for it's own sake, i find it fascinating. If you get the right material it's definitely not a waste of time and can be pretty mind blowing.
-
Hahah no sweat, Emerald and I are going pretty deep into the nuances of this, my head hurts too. It's easy once you get it, but for many guys this is more difficult than rocket science. You are not appreciating how difficult attraction is for most guys. If it was as easy as you are saying, we wouldn't have a bunch of 25 year old virgins today.

This whole question really is nothing new, people have debated and theorized on this for hundreds of years. I think of it as a mixture, let's not be naive and act like genetics have no influence, but let's also not underestimate the power of practice, work ethic and conscious improvement. Tiger Woods would not have become Tiger Woods had his father never trained him relentlessly in golf from a young age. At the same time: There are many children who get trained relentlessly from a young age and do not become Tiger Woods. In short, don't limit yourself, you don't actually know what your ceiling is and what you are capable of in any domain. Further, working at it and trying to master it will always get you further than just throwing in the towel and believing you are fucked anyway.

That explains why I struggle to get hot girls No but it’s true, I know my looks and because of that I find most girls not ”worthy” of my looks, and they can sense that.

Billionaire epstein class. You can just pay off the people you wrong and you have so much leverage over other elites via blackmail and sheer power. The problem with being above the law however is that you have to deal with other people who are also above the law. People will send assassins to kill you if it makes sense to for their survival. Your political success might be directly tied to your life. You probably don't really want to be above the law. Life is a lot more chaotic without a sovereign power over you. -
@gengar I understand your concern. Please consider, guys like you’re worried about usually don’t have a bunch of wives. They usually do not have one wife. A lot of guys with this mindset you worry about push women right to guys with an opposite mindset, as they can crave authenticity instead of game. And a lot of these people craving group relationships misunderstand relationships and ignore diminishing returns on connection, mistaking it for something else. Another problem, that is very much just as real, is other men being discouraged because a minority gets laid a lot and acts like it is self justified or ties in an exceptional life by default. You mentioned some medical problems. Maybe you can’t have sex. Maybe you can’t change that. This is your friendly reminder, everybody loves a good listener, and a fingerblast. There are a lot of good people out there. Society is under too much stress for you or me to diagnose it. Just try to relax and connect with people.
