Introverts rule

All you need to do for now is just encourage him to socialize with girls. He doesn't need anything like game yet. Tell him to befriend girls as much as guys.

The rule of thumb is: the more confident and social they are, the dumber they are. Don't confuse any such nonsense with consciousness, development, health, or wisdom.

It's not really a matter of speaking ability, it's a matter of endless years of contemplation and articulation of ideas in my own mind. The speaking of the words is the least important part of my work. The heavy lifting is done by concepts and the internal understanding. Yes, I did slow down my speech consciously. It's not that I speak fluidly, it's that I articulate my insights and refine my understanding to myself. Then later I speak it to you. The power comes from a deep understanding which accumulates over years of contemplation.

It doesn't matter. When you talk to girls just have fun. They don't care about your personal problems.

Sounds like you have some disorder. Perhaps ADD or heavy metal toxicity. For me learning has always been easy. Especially when I was young. It got a bit harder as I aged and got heavy metal buildup. When I detoxed it, it got easier again.

Lol

1) Change your attitude about small-talk so you aren't hating it. 2) Observe people who are good at small-talk and notice what they talk about and how. Much small-talk is just talking about yourself, and talking about minor details of your life.

The points in the rant video are mostly aimed at hardcore PUAs who are stuck in it.

Channel that pain to go out and talk to girls and grow yourself in the process. Breakups are a powerful fuel to improve yourself as a man. Don't waste that fuel. Challenge yourself to attract girls without relying on looks, money, or anything but your charming personality. You need to realize that what girls will fall in love with the most is your personality, once you polish it up. You can demonstrate this to yourself by doing it.

Going out to clubs will force you to switch out of logical/serious state. Basically, learn how to let loose and party without alcohol.

You need the face of a hungry cat looking at a canary.

MDMA is a very different animal than tryptamines. That's why I haven't done MDMA. It's not healthy long-term. I might do it a few times but that's it.

Of course. Because when you feel deep attraction that's just your mind's signal that the person is really high value relative to you. You get most attracted to people who you perceive as a great deal for you. In other words, the more out of your league a girl is, the more attracted and needy you will get about her. By raising your value and entitlement you will be able to date and retain hotter girls. You will only be able to keep a girl if she's roughly within your league. If she's above you, you will get too needy and she will sense it and run away. The hotter the girl the more cool you gotta be about her. She's not going to sleep with you if she feels that she's higher value than you. You have to be the prize. This is why narcissists and sociopaths get laid the most with the hottest girls. They just feel entitled to her thanks to delusional levels of self-confidence.

Confidence tends to be very situational. Just because you're confident at public speaking does not automatically make you confident at flirting with a girl. Because these are different skills that must be trained. And your lack of confidence here is just an admission that you lack experience with that particular mode of operating. Then there might be something like core confidence which is more universal and applies to anything new you attempt in life. But even if your core confidence is high, you still won't be good with girls because girls require a very specific experience base to make you good with them. Core confidence isn't enough there. And conversely, just because you're very experienced with girls does not necessarily mean you got a high core confidence. So you want to work both on your core confidence and also confidence which is highly situational to the things you want to be good at. You want both a broad and narrow confidence. Pickup can be used to train a narrow confidence, but it also can help you develop some broader confidence if you combine it with self-esteem work and deep inner game work and spiritual work. Broad confidence will tend to come more from personal development and spiritual development. But also just exposing yourself to a wide variety of challenging life experiences (of which pickup is one kind of challenging experience).

No it isn't.

The thing is, all survival is exploitation of others. You cannot survive without externalities and collateral damage. Just to stay alive you gotta kill things every day. That's the nature of survival. You create externalities even if you are the bestest vegan hippie.

Most university professors are very articulate. Not particularly a rarity.

I wish that wishing didn't exist

It wants nothing because it is everything.

Lol, yes. Although did you have to pick the most creepy-looking guy on the planet to demo it?

Not a good idea to hit on cashiers in places you frequently visit. Don't shit where you eat.

There is some truth in both perspectives. There are also different kinds of confidence. And it also depends on how you go about doing it. Pickup helps most with developing social confidence and confidence in dealing with girls.

I doubt LSD or mushrooms damage the brain. Where is the evidence for this? DMT and mushrooms are almost identical chemically. Mushrooms are 4-HO-DMT.

I would guess that most professional men spend 95% of their time in a logic state. Which is why they can't get laid.
