@Byun Sean Leo banned the OP already lmao

at least you're self-aware

Lol the exact same 3-4 chords on loop for the WHOLE song. Not very musically inspired imo, but I can see why the mainstream would like this.

@SamC ???

Sam C always with the excellent questions I'm glad to be able to understand all of this personality-category stuff thanks to you lol

wow I haven't seen this much insecurity in so long lmao

Yep... that's telling lol

I disagree. Being social (with a deliberate practice mindset) will eradicate social anxiety.

lmfao

Read Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks!

Hehe I recently just found her too. Her whole channel is excellent. I don't think I've ever subbed to someone so fast

said who? @seeking_brilliance is correct, erase your chart and you'll be on the right track.

This is excellent.

Sorry Emerald, I love your perspectives but this ain't right. You have no idea the transformative process that one man goes through to go from unattractive to attractive. It's a deeply personal journey of going from literally repelling girls to finally experiencing their affection, and the principles along this journey are timeless. Your "receiving pickup" perspective is such a partial, me-centered perspective. Not even 0.1% of the man's journey is seen from your vantage point. You are like a pebble in the stream who thinks it knows the water since it is always touching water, but doesn't realize that the water has travelled dozens of miles just to briefly touch you, and will continue to travel another dozen miles. Of course, the man's perspective is also a partial, me-centered one as well. The water of the stream has no idea what it's like to be that pebble. There's no denying that. The problem with your claim above is that you believe that you have the wider, truer, more meta perspective that encompasses the "narrow" male one, but really you're just looking down your nose and dismissing the male perspective instead of taking it seriously. You say you're listening but deep down you think you know better because you see the partiality of the male perspective (but not the partiality of your own). I know, ironic that a man would tell a woman that she's not really listening, seeing how men never listen to women - there's plenty of that all over this forum + thread, I'm hyper-aware.

I would replace "dating advice" with "attraction advice." In general, listen to women. It's noble. Just filter out their attraction advice. Dating advice imo is broad. It includes stuff like boyfriend-girlfriend dynamics. LISTEN TO THEM ON THIS. Their relationship advice is valid. It's specifically attraction advice where they are clueless. Attraction is different from boyfriend-girlfriend dynamics. Very critical distinction.

To me, "actually successful" more or less means that they grow old and die together. Happily. No toxicity, manipulation, betrayals, sexlessness, or breakups. I know that some couple out there somewhere has managed this. I have exactly 2 questions: 1) Do they even consider each other "soulmates" or "my partner?" Or do they avoid labels altogether? I am so curious about this one. For me, the moment I label my partner "mine" I immediately create a condition to defend, and a reason to fear + manipulate is born. 2) Are such successful couples necessarily on the spiritual path? Or can "average" people pull it off?

I agree. This is why I specifically didn't say "no conflict." Rather, "no toxicity and no manipulation." I believe that conflict can be had in a healthy way

Also, Sibelius will not be powerful enough to make game designers happy. It's first and foremost a notation software, but game designers want the finished product in all of its glory (electronically reproduced instruments), they don't just want sheet music + a crappy midi playback. You'll have to dive head first into a DAW if you're serious. Most industry-standard DAWs (Ableton, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Logic, etc.) cost anywhere from $100 to $500 so that might be a setback for you initially. However, many of them offer free trials for a month or so, so take advantage of that. Besides, if you are serious, you ought to be saving money precisely for investments like this. If you're on the lazy or overly eager side though, you can start using LMMS. It's the best free DAW from what I hear (but it won't be as good as the paid ones I mentioned above). Do your own research

I've got no tailored advice for you since I have no professional experience in this field, but I'm curious to hear your music if you have anything to show us Besides, any step #1 in LPs like yours is to build a portfolio of your best creative works. In the real world, people only care about results. So you need to be able to show that you can have results ready on-demand. This could be good practice for you. Compose something and share it with us. Let this be your step #1 (make a soundcloud for easy sharing). Over time, I suspect that you'll want to begin networking (reaching out to people in your field and putting yourself out there), all the while steadily improving your craft. If there are any video game composers that you are a fan of, be bold and shoot them an email with respectful questions while displaying passion and commitment For example, one of my favorite game composers is Afshin Cohen. You can easily google his website, and it includes a way to contact him: http://www.afshincohen.com/

LOL

@Preety_India Hey I really appreciate your replies but you still haven't addressed the exact questions I asked lol. Is this intentional or lack of concern? I went back and numbered my questions so that other people don't miss them either
