Just had a massive creative insight for the game and overall theme of the story. I'm actually gonna move it from the 15th to the 17th century and focus on a triangle between the industrialization of warfare away from medieval type weapons to gunpowder technology and also add magic into it for a high/dark fantasy feel. Then I'll be able to create all types of unique matchups both in the anime plot and for game combat mechanics that haven't really been explored before like what happens when a fire mage encounters a medieval knight? Or what happens when a samurai with wind magic faces on a garrison of Shogun troops with muskets?

Do you find this issue happening only with women or with your platonic friends as well? Sometimes introverts can have trouble consistently bonding with people because their interest lies more with intangible ideas over real life, is that your case or does that not sound like you? There are a few ways that we can flesh this out and get to the root cause, at the end of the day surely it comes down to a simple calibration issue.

@Thought Art @Majed Have you guys watched the video on Islam? I think he's too nice and poetic about it if anything and he doesn't go in depth into the origins of Islam and how it was birthed out of the bloodshed of thousands and immediately lead to many civil wars in the middle east called the Fitnas and the caliphates that grew out of it like the Umayyad Caliphate were not any more peaceful than the ones that came before the time of Muhammad.

You seem to not be comfortable with sexuality as I've already mentioned about you on in a previous post. What process have you gone through in your life to get to the root of your own shame and discomfort around it and do you have litmus tests to know if you're creating a positive experience for the women you're interacting with and or if you're reinforcing their bad behaviours? The way you talk about sexuality like it's a dangerous opioid is not healthy in my eyes but I could be wrong.

Yes it's also more fun! You create a friend group and community around your interest and you become the center of it so you have more socialization but growth in your corner. I think anyone can do decent on dating apps, you just gotta take photography seriously, dress well, know your angles and find the aesthetic locations in your city to portray the image you want. Have you ever worked with a professional photographer before?

I actually couldn't agree more. The men I know that aren't involved in business endeavours are pretty limited in their skillset and don't have a pretty core skills to life I find. I see it especially when I have some clients that come from a smaller city and certain simple things seem to overwhelm them like traffic and getting a dinner reservation at a nice restaurant. Let alone getting into more complicated social circle concepts like booking a venue, planning an event, hosting people and making sure they have a good time, planning other events, etc. A lot of life can be broken down areas of skill and the more high impact skills you have the more valuable you'll become as a man.

I think a lot of times people over-romanticize connection. In my opinion deep connections comes from relatability and understanding how someone sees the world because you see it the same way as them so you feel a deep sense of being understood when being with this person. That can just as easily lead to massive codependency, trauma bonding and karmic attachments as a lot of times people that see the world in the same way as you have the same blindspots and are stuck on the same video game level of life as you are. The more I grow up and self-actualize the more I'm able to connect with a wide variety of people that don't fit my perspective and paradigms and that's lead to a breath of new experiences. Throwing game knowledge and building social capital lets you then be able to attract a wide range of people that want to spend time with you because you've now surpassed the paradigm that they are stuck in but can also relate and bond from it without being judgemental about it.

Have you read the game and the truth by Neil Strauss? I find they are great books to inspire a man on his journey towards learning to become more attractive and mastering seduction. The Truth especially is not as well known as the game but it's much better imo, makes the story come full circle and goes over his sex addiction after meeting his model wife and how she dumps him for a while and they reconnect. It's also very fun to read as Neil is a fantastic author, it reads more like a thrilling action novel than a boring self-help book.

Two main things come to mind after reading your post 1) You seem to shame your own sexuality a lot. I would argue you seducing a woman is a gift to her, as long as you don't lie about your intentions and lead her on. Life is boring and stressful and you don't need to marry a girl for 50 years to offer value to her life. A fun night of kissing and bonding refreshes anyones soul, you don't need to see them for a long period of time afterwards to make that a mutually beneficial exchange. 2) You seem to lack a container in your life for women that you're not massively into but are still friendly with. That's where the power of social circle game and container events shine. You can organize a monthly or bimonthly event that aligns with your interest where you invite all the women you know and your friends and use it as both a testing ground for how these women align with your life but also as a way to keep in touch with women that you wouldn't necessarily ask out on a full date but also aren't already part of your social circle. I'm in the creative industry so I've done this with photoshoots and open mic events. Dinner parties can aslo work well for this.

Right but that's a correlation, not a causation. Meaning if you marry a woman with a 100 body count she's more likely to divorce you than a woman with a 1 body count. There are many reasons for that, the common one touted by the red pill sphere is that her body is now used to men and releases less Oxytocin and thus reduces the strength of her pain bonding ability and makes her more likely to jump ship. I'm a bit doubtful of that explanation, I think it's more that when you reach a high bodycount you're not paralyzed by the societal shame that comes from a divorce and you're more likely to leave a relationship that doesn't work to find another one that suits your wants and needs better.

You're a wizard now Harry!

There are so many good ones, I printed a crypto one for an investing meetup I held last year and people liked it a lot so it gave me all kinds of ideas. Sleeping with me resets your bodycount Stop grabbing my crotch ladies Rated best kisser 2025, let's make 2026 count Me, you and your bestfriend is a true lovestory Endless possibilities

I did read it AND I gave you a framework to reach YOUR stated goal that should help make the process better and add more value to your life. Which is why I'm calling you out for proselytizing your philosophy as the one true way instead of having the humility to think of it as your own conclusions that fit your desires.

Plenty of good and bad audiobooks that have varying degrees of accuracy in the opinions they put forth. A warlord is a political leader who derives his authority from his military forces as opposed to other institutional powers also known as a military dictatorship depending on how wide of a region he controls. Mohammad's actions of imperial expansion into the Arabian Peninsula and the Maghreb make him both a military dictator and a warlord by definition. I think your enjoyment of Sufism is giving you massive bias into understanding history and the story of Islam and the reason it's still around today. Not solely due to wisdom but due to its cult properties and their viking like rhetoric in promising a glorious afterlife to their followers that then violently impose their ideology on outsiders they conquer. Leo himself has been known to be quite bloodthirsty in how he tears down ideas he doesn't agree with but I think the infidels are physically safe for the time being!

Yes understanding the history of religious wars in Europe and the middle east helps us understanding a lot of what religion is about : shaping society and control. Not so much the comic book control from a place of grandiosity but more about creating a stable paradigm for society where violence is monopolized by the state and upstarts can't easily wrestle power away from them. Understanding the Catholic Church as the more advanced successor to the Roman Empire is a key insight in seeing how this has unfolded throughout our species. Islam being its main competitor just like China is opposing the west today. Two different cultures, ethnicities and systems of governance fighting for hegemony.
