  1. Past hour
  2. The problem isnt me not being able to show my screen its how awake you are. Conciousness is 1st order to me showing you my screen. A way of putting it is that my existence is rooted in your imagination. I can't show my screen unless you are concious that you are imagining it. Thus defeating the purpose of showing my screen because you would have direct access to the insignt. And in this state there is nothing outside of your mind.
  3. The whole issue and difficulty with being vulnerable is that you might lose the person you want to be with. There might be things that you say to her that will repel her (or him) and she'll leave. Or at least that's the fear that's causing the resistance to being vulnerable in the first place. I don't think that fear is irrational. I think there can be some things that you can say in a relationship that will kill the intimacy and trust. Now the question is, if you want to maintain integrity, truth and honesty, are you willing to potentially end your relationship? Because sometimes honesty might endanger the survival of two person being together. It doesn't have to always be the case of such severity, that truth ends relationship, but often it can. I think that's where maturity comes in, if the other person also values truth, it can be more realistic to speak of scenarios like that without much damage. But again, valuing truth doesn't mean that trust will be maintained or vulnerability won't cause issues. It's a double edged sword. It's hard to be intimate without vulnerability, but truth can also end your relationships.
  4. Precisely, because his eyes is a part of the imagination. The state is completely solipsistic. The only way you could reach this state is alongside the realization that there is only your conciousness.
  5. Really honest, vulnerable relationship is tough. You have to admit things you never would otherwise. You have to actually expose the devil you are to the light and burn. It's hard and painful. But it's what happens when the relationship is right. It forces you to face your shadows directly and purifies you. But you need a perfect mirror of yourself to experience this kind of relationship, someone who can reflect back at you what you are afraid to look at.
  6. We got lots of aussie's reppin here ay? @Jacko Will check this out too. Cheers! TBH I don't trust nutrition labels let alone "MaDe In aUStrAlIa" "LoCAlly SoURCeD" I think data for nutrition breakdowns are bricked. Half the time if you know 1g carbs/protein = 4cal, 1g fat = 7cal and work out the energy content from there, it doesn't even equal the total reported on the package! I don't trust labels reports at all.
  7. I appreciate you wanting to make sure I'm still perfect
  8. What do you mean by not allowing yourself to sleep with them? Like you don't know how to escalate or you have a mental block around it? It is fun but you need to structure systems in your life around it otherwise it's a waste of time and other areas of your life will lag behind. Which is why these guys start businesses where they go around the country and get paid to practice talking to girls and teaching other dudes about it.

    @Ulax That's all good, this is a cringe thread so it fits the theme. Was genuinely more just to check you are all good - as it was more a pattern of posting and not related to the turbo-cringe here
  10. Not enough bro. This year has been involved a lot of forced restructuring for me. Last year I made much more money but I was dependent on one main client that was paying me $5k/month and then we changed the format to be a pay per event contract which switched me from being an hourly worker to only working when I wanted to but having to deliver on hosting real world events for him which cut my income by about half. I moved back with my dad to cut my expenses and restructure my cashflow so its not dependent on working in hours and lets me acquire multiple clients that I can fulfill with a reasonable amount of work hours and enjoy life. By Q4 of this year it should start paying off and by next spring I should be able to travel and start to live the live I talked about here.
  11. My problem with pick up is I can't allow myself to be successful with it. I've been a beast about it this summer. Went out everyday for the past 2 months. Each night gets crazier and crazier, I just can't let myself sleep with any of these women though. I'm so fucking close though it's hella addictive, I can see why Owen still goes out to this day and why @Zenterus took 10 years to drop it or whatever. I don't know why anyone drops out unless you're a hard case newbie maybe?
  12. @LordFall so how much do you make per month right now
  13. I don't know why people call it sleeping like a baby, they are notorious terrible sleepers. New parents average 4-5 hours of sleep in the first year of their newborn being alive. I don't think you understand how well I'm gonna sleep with my robot butler taking care of that little mini me on top of hiring an actual maternity nurse to soothe the journey. Also think about it if you got 3 women in a polyamorous setup and they raise your kids together then each women both has friends all the time with them to make it less stressful and boring and also each women has to do less chores by herself and has more energy and time to spend on you while you're done taking care of the business and the kids are sleeping and now you got your women for the evening. Sometimes people paint this caricature of money and game like wanting to only drink from 24 karat gold glasses or only picking up women from a Lamborghini; that's not really the idea. For example for that maternity nurse to help with first year of raising a kid that's about $7-10K/month. If you don't want to pay another woman to raise your kid and just want your wife to be able to be a stay at home mom depending on the cost of living in your area you easily need a $200k+ salary to afford that and a decent quality of life IF NOT MORE LIKE 300-400K. You guys know how people on this forum are like OMG I've awakened to God I can do anything life is a dream! That's basically how rich people live. They solve most of their actual mechanical problems with real solutions but that's expensive. I don't really aim to live like a low or middle class person long term if I don't have to, there's literally no point it's painful and boring for no reason. I don't know who knows what my actual marriage will look like 10 years from now but I'm looking forward to it. I've always been a romantic I love being in a relationship but it needs to be the right one, I learned all I didn't like from my ex so I'm building my life to avoid the same pitfalls in the meanwhile. What about you, what are your current dating bottlenecks and what type of monthly action are you taking towards achieving your dream dating life?
  14. he watered down knowlege of woman. to get more audience
  15. Today
  16. My focus is myself too. Though I'm not that materialistic as you. Just having 1 family with a semi sane girl is more than enough for me. Just raising one child is already very stressful and sacrifcial for our health. No way I'm sacrifcing my health to spawn 10 brats in the age of AI.
  17. How so?
  18. I appreciate your commitment to my wellbeing . Sincerely tho, sorry I didn't mean to insult your thread. The example I provided was genuine, and I was intending to be playful rather than mean-spirited :).
  19. Well obviously both is the goal. If you have a girlfriend that likes women why not go and fuck other hot women together? As well as experience the many beautiful places the world has to offer? I think if you do a lot of meditation and consciousness practice during this process you can actually destroy your own hedonic adaptation whereas usually people that do this get tired of it after a while. I got my mind to the point where I have crushes on women just like when I was a teenager but even while having slept with a lot to the point where a lot of guys are usually jaded at this point. I think that's the best gift you can give yourself, find multiple women you have crushes on, date them all together, travel the world, build a great business so you all get rich together, contribute to the social causes you care about and leave your mark on humanity. That's the good life. Why would anyone settle for anything less than that? That makes no sense to me.
  20. @Leo Gura any updates Leo?
  21. @LordFall I thought we were talking about dating a woman, not hoarding as many of them as you can together in a room to have the highest chance of having sex with one of them. Yes I get angry cause its phoney. Its the phoniest life you could live. It dosent bring joy to your life. These people are miserable. You sound like you dont want a relationship you want to use the person to fullfill some goal. You will surround yourself with these people, thats what you have to do to live like this. Constantly a slave to what the person can give you even tho you dont like them. You can be a in a relationship where you dont have to give anything but being there. Thats way better.
  22. Wait til you find out about femboys and trans girls. Oh boy. Why do you get angry when surrounded with luxury? You feel like you're a slave to the environment and have to be unauthentic to belong and it angers you? I get that I'm an INTP so I get fun figuring out systems and creating my own. Standing on a yacht is way more fun to me than standing on grass. There is content potential, capacity limits, you invite too many girls so just the right amount show up, all the girls are in bikinis and perhaps we'll find a good excuse to get people off their phone and swimming into the water, jet skis, boat barbecue, yacht tie up parties, lake drone footage, fucking in the cabin, etc. What on earth are you experiencing in the park? I want to take two girls with me to go work in a cabin by a lake here. I think it would be very fun to be out of the city and relaxing with a sauna and body of water and just chill smoke weed, fuck, read books, etc. Not even a luxurious cabin but a nice comfy spot for just one week, which is really not enough but is a good start. That's $2200 not covering gas, food and missing work so really more like $3500. I can experience all of this with the hottest women on the planet and you're trying to sell me walks in the parks with Sally from the neighbourhood. Once again I think you're insane my friend or perhaps I have been ruined by seeing abundance up close so I can't really go back to living a mediocre life.
  23. You should, achieve your best life. Cultural analysis is quite hard at the moment, the next 20 years of human history are gonna be a cluster fuck of different dynamics intersecting. You say demographic crises I say AI automation and biological immortality taking our species to way greater and more exciting heights than we've ever experienced before. I think it's much easier to focus on our own lives than try to call what different cultures and societies are gonna do. Personally I'm in that boat where I'm maximizing my status and SMV as much as possible and not settling down anytime soon. I think this is a great strategy, many people in the past were forced into unsatisfactory marriages due to societal pressures to settle down. I doubt I'll have kids before 38-40 and perhaps with multiple women depending on how my polyamorous experiences develop.

    Relentless is a strong word I'll cop that - I just notice a change in your posts. Drop in content and a lot more sarcasm. Some trolly behaviour. Last few days. I suppose this is more a post out of concern and not me worried about shitting on a stupid cringe thread
  25. @LordFall there is no service, it’s in the middle of the desert with not much around. Some people have starlink tho, it’s increasing every year but I prefer to totally disconnect.

  26. How to appreciate life more?

    LordFall replied to Raphael's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Well what is your life purpose or your ideal life? If you aren't anywhere close to living your desired lifestyle then I think a lack of satisfaction is expected. If you are forced to socialize with people that you don't really build connections with then you can be caught in a real catch-22 situation. What type of people do you wanna work with? Network with? Date? You can develop a steady meditation practice to become more and more satisfied with the present moment but even then you just learn to appreciate and really tolerate circumstances that you do not desire. So what do you desire and are you achieving weekly and monthly successes towards those goals or not?
  27. I get you. All good.
