  1. I would not conflate developing oneself with such silly stage Orange metrics. It's not about how many hours, it's much more about what you're doing and how deeply you're doing it. Patrick has not even begun truly developing himself, he's just chasing stage Orange ideas of success. He has turned business and capitalism into his religion.
  2. It's hard to say because I didn't really keep clear track of it. My work and my personal life bleed together a lot. A lot of the work I do isn't like official work, but technically it is integral to my work. I used to work a lot more than I do today. But also, I prefer to work smart rather than hard. So I end up generating way more results than normal for the hours I work. Most people work hard but dumb, so they end up with little to show for it. Working smart is way more important than working hard. Most of the work you do you shouldn't even be doing.
  3. Owning a house is great, if you can afford it. But consider whether you want to settle down in one area or you want to move around to gain more life experience. Houses also tend to come with quite a few yearly expenses, taxes, fees, and maintenance costs.
  4. @impulse9 Funnily enough, most programming is not serious intellectual work. I can code for 10 hours. It's way easier than contemplating for 3 hours. After you get good at coding, it's like riding a bike. It doesn't take that much thinking. But still, you burn out and it's very unhealthy working like that.
  5. That's not something most people can pull off. Which is why we have 8 hour work days. I can't work that long consistently. Especially not any kind of serious intellectual or creative work. Maybe if you're just sitting around waiting for customers that might be workable.
  6. Game over, game on, what's the difference?
  7. Of course fucking of course
  8. It's all been politicized and turned into ideology. I don't mind a late-term ban if it would appease the right-wing and settle this issue once and for all. But it won't. They are too dogmatic for such a reasonable compromise.
  9. Guys have more responsibility in this area.
  10. @museumoftrees If you want to specialize in quick pulls, just show up to the venue at 1 hour before closing time. But you are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
  11. It's worse than conspiracies, it's downright a right-wing fraud organization that invents fake news. They are not an honest actor and nothing they report should be taken as true.
  12. @somegirl Don't worry about it. You're fine. Just meet more guys. Volume.
  13. It would be better if you developed a good feel for when a girl is really into you and her logistical situation is good. Obviously you don't want to invest all night into a girl with impossible logistics, so screen for logistics early. It's usually very obvious if you can pull a girl within 30-60 mins. This is pretty rare. You only spend all night with one girl is it's really on and logistics seem reasonable. In practice you test this by bouncing her around to various locations. If she's unwilling to bounce around or follow your lead, there's no way you're pulling her home. If she's not attracted within 30 mins you move on to another girl. Attraction happens within 5-10 mins. That is not the issue. The issue is that attraction is only 1/3rd the battle. Most girls will need a lot of connection after attraction before they're willing to sleep with you. Those 3 hours are for building that connection and for pumping up her state to the point where she wants to have sex. And also to handle her friends. Generally, yes. But don't let that limit you. Sometimes you open and it instantly hooks so hard that you just know she's ready to be pulled right away. Def capitalize on that. It's rare but it does happen and you need to act immediately when the opportunity arises. These kind of insta-pulls will be much more common towards the end of the night when everyone is partied out.
  14. Obviously it's the parents who would be making the ultimate decision, not some government checklist of disabilities.
  15. Cool it guys. No personal sniping.
  16. Warning: don't give psychedelics to friends and family who are not ready for it. Especially 5-MeO-DMT. They will not handle it like you. What is beautiful to you will freak them the fuck out.
  17. There are no hard rules. Sometimes you can literally pull within minutes of meeting her, but that's an exception. Usually you need to get good at building up a connection over a few hours, bouncing around to multiple venues, handling her friends, handling logistical bullshit, handling excuses, etc. Learning to handle logistics is one of the most important and advanced aspects of game which cannot be made into any kind of ruleset or algorithm. You have to practice and fail at it A LOT. Hundreds of failures to get good. It's not a function of time, nor time of night. It's a function of how attracted she is and what the logistical situation looks like. You have to take into account how horny she is, what mood she's in, how comfortable she is with you, how willing to follow you she is, what her friends are doing, etc. Pulling early in the night is possible, but you'll have way more pulls late into the night and around closing time. Usually her friends will not let you pull her early in the night because they need her around to party. Get good at dealing with her friends because they will cockblock you relentlessly.
  18. Locking this because this is not in the spirit of personal development and perpetuates a sort of Incel mentality here.
  19. That's just fairytales. You're not going to find "the one" on your first or second try. The more you roll the dice the more chances of finding your one. Spiritual retreats, yoga, meditation groups, personal dev seminars, etc. Universities are full of a lot of young dumb immature people. Depends on your age I guess. But you can't rely on Uni for long. In some sense it doesn't matter where or how, you just need to socialize a lot more. Could be bars, clubs, parties, events, whatever. You can bump into great people almost anywhere, you just gotta rank up the numbers for luck to be in your favor. There's also online dating. But this requires large numbers too.
  20. Simple: meet more guys. It's a numbers game. Your numbers are too low for luck to roll your way. Luck is a huge factor in dating so you need to stack the deck in your favor.
  21. Defeats the whole purpose of a fast in my opinion if you are taking in food.
