You said that you stopped believing in cold approach and are now focusing more on platonic relationships. Which is it?

Perhaps your current burnout with dating stems from the lack of integration into your overall life goals and social circle. It's all connected my friend. Cold approach has an early ceiling, I'm not surprised you're reaching some diminishing returns in it. The unhealthy pattern in my experience comes from when you invest too much time in your dating life at the expense of other areas in your life. I dated hot girls when I was not doing high level social circle events but the quality and how well they fit into my life has only gone up since I started doing it.

This is a good reel on the topic https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZC77xDgA1Z/ That's partly why women's tastes change as they get into their late 20s, they experience the different types of men in their early 20s and see that a lot of them are only good for short term hookups and are not high value partners long term. Black men are one archetype and drug dealers and club promoters are another. I think it's good to understand what draws women to these type of men and learn some alpha traits as much as you can but if you got your life well setup financially in your 30s and 40s you're gonna clean up compared to this type of dude that peaks early.

Cold approach has limited upside in terms of the social life you can build. If you're able to get decent recents with cold approach that's cool but social circle allows you to take those women that you approach and invite them to events to build a whole network and community for whatever you want. I host photoshoots and business events for example, you might have different interests. Cold approach also is just 1 on 1 so really either you end up dating one of the women you like and that's the end of it or you just hook up with a bunch of people. Social circle lets you hangout with many women at once, make cool male friends too, increase your status, throw events, make money, help and give back to the people in your community, etc. This forum is a social circle, it's just online. Humans are communal we like groups of people. The same skills you learned in pickup can be used on your social life as a whole. Usually you end up with way hotter women too, what I see in cold approach only guys is they aren't able to attract or keep the highest tier of women because usually their social life is empty and boring.

I don't agree basically any hobby has gained some type of mainstream appeal due to mostly the cross-pollination that social media allows us. Video games, trading card games and anime, for example, were seen as super loser hobby that only men liked 10 years ago and now there are e-girls everywhere and you could get laid building out your own Yugioh card group 100%. It's also up to you to also have a top of the funnel side of it where you find a way to get attractive women into your circles or be able to join groups that they are a part of. A high quality dating and social life are not a given, you have to put in a lot of effort to cultivate it. If you do it right there are not many more rewarding things in life though.

Very cool. I'm super excited for what generative AI has to bring to the movies and overall entertainment space. Big budgets and gloat have killed originality in Hollywood, it's time to bring it back!

Sure but the point is not to figure out how great they are at it, that's for themselves to introspect on when looking at the quality of their relationships. The point is that most relationships still start out from social circles today, even with how prevalent online dating is. The most surefire way to date hot women is to be in social circles with many of them and display value over time. The guys that are narcissistic, weak willed, inconsistent, etc will weed themselves out and usually if you're a solid man with even a respectable amount of game the single women of the group will gravitate towards you. It's also the most fun way to date because your social circle should ideally be a reflection of your interests and goals if you cater it well over time.

Israel and the IDF have been caught executing violent war crimes and sadistically punishing even innocent palestinians many times. Their ideology goes beyond protecting themselves and their people. It's think that they are the chosen ones and look down on other races and religions. Let alone the conspiracy that they are going full expansionism and want to make that happen by violently expanding their borders. This is not all Israelis but seems to be the view of the current regime under Netanyahu.

I would say women usually take longer to really get attracted specifically because they are screening for long term characteristics. Which is why building a social circle with women works so well for dating because they get to experience you over time and the guys that fake the high status characteristics for a quick lay are weeded out. If you look good and are charismatic a lot of women are gonna like you right away but that's shallow attraction compared to really getting to know your over months and seeing that you are the man in different types of circumstances.

I can't really afford to divert time/energy away from my other work and businesses. As long as I keep continuously working towards it then it'll concretize over time. I've built out the vision in terms of compartments that I wanna try. So for example I've been working to illustrate a manga from the lore I've written. There are some problems with AI character consistency but I'm getting it to where I want it over time. Perhaps in 3 months if I'm motivated I can come out with the first volume of 200 pages. I'll release each chapter on open manga websites to build an audience and see if I can sell the physical versions as real manga books.

I mean it's a well documented phenomenon that women tend to seek out men that outearn them. It's true in even the most egalitarian societies on earth like Norway. It's not an absolute fact but the even new modern studies point towards being high earning man facilitates the formation of relationships as well as financial issues are one of the top factors predicting a divorce.

Okay for who? Nobody else really cares what you do in life. Should you in your own mind be okay dying a virgin? Fuck no. How many cold approaches have you done in your life? Do you assume you suck at it or are you too scared to try? Your excuses are silly. Humor is learned/practiced. Probably easier to get laid with low IQ than high. You can totally learn to get laid consistently.

Just be careful of this self-development is relative mindset. If the goal of life would be to just remain ourselves perhaps we'd still be a non physical spirit and not individual beings. All of reality is built on evolution. From the time you were born you didn't know how to speak and write, you had to self-develop to learn english. Know your own goals and don't let other people impose theirs on you but it is foolish to think you can live your greatest life potential without self-development. Your main wife should ideally be bisexual and enjoy seeing new women alongside you.

This is a good video on the upsides of doing geo-arbitrage i.e. international living and dating The quality of life that you can get yourself is much higher than in the west.

How do you know have you been to France? I’ve been and I know multiple French women as well as I’m in Montreal and encounter both French speaking québécois women and also French women from France on a regular basis.
