It's very related. Male animals mostly mate by defending their territory and signalling to females that they are a powerful choice to mate with. Humans throughout the ages had to defend their territory and where allowed to marry once they had proven themselves to the tribe. Criminals exist in a strange overlap between the concepts of dominance and offering value since they are dominant in a lot of ways but don't offer much value but to a woman's primal brain that still registers as enticing. As I've already said the lesson is to take the good characteristics from these findings and discard the rest. You can be dominant, exciting, with a big territory while being completely on the right side of the law and get your cake and eat it too type of thing. You can learn a lot about game by watching anthropology style videos instead of just shallow game techniques. Sex and dating are very primal. Here's a good one I liked a lot

Of course. We are not only an animal but I would argue the best one there is! This beautiful vessel is how we experience the dual world and physical reality as a whole. Being ran by urges and impulses will lead to a low quality life and that's what I assume you're pointing towards. That's obviously no good. The point is to integrate your urges and impulses into the most beautiful life that you can and actualize your greatest potential. Sexual transmutation is a great tool, if I didn't have as much libido I would be much more less motivated to build my business and scale my creative communities across the world. Thank God for sex, women are beautiful and serve as muses to channel our energy towards greatness. I don't wanna be rude to other species but sometimes I look at them and I feel like their females are not as beautiful as ours, they basically look the same as the dudes. I hope that they still have fun but I'll take being a human any day of the week.

See you did it again. I literally linked to you a picture of sour grapes in your thread yesterday on giving up on dating because you can't get laid. I have had many mystical experiences both sober and on psychedelics, if you want to have a spiritual debate I'm always happy to do that. I think you are coping and finding ways to maintain a sense of superiority to mask your shortcomings. No need to do that friend, just embrace your weakness and grow stronger! The "mystical planes of existence" will still be there after you do a set of bench press, I promise you. Coping means avoiding deep uncomfortable truths to soothe yourself in comfortable lies. You will never build a great life this way. Don't be an ostrich. Be your highest self. Think about it, an ostrich is a bird but it cannot fly; that's embarrassing.

Let's do it. Also a beach volleyball league. I'm very competitive though, don't get offended if me and my wives win at least 68% of the time!

@Majed You can't "bypass" by directly engaging with reality, bro. That's just called living. Bypassing is when you hide behind abstractions, concepts, and ascetic posturing to avoid the friction of the material world. Taking care of your health, building an aesthetic physique, and dating aren't bypassing, it's how you build a strong foundation for human development and a thriving and fulfilling life.

I agree, I've mostly gotten rid of most of my coping mechanisms so I can experience reality the way I want to. Once you do the same you will get much better results! Thriving is everything that coping isn't.

Of course. Each of the 16 MBTI types can learn powerful socialization techniques that fit their unique personality. I dislike constant pointless socializing so I try to mostly attend only my own events or go to other events that I wanna study and replicate. I dislike boring small talk so I host content creation based events so I can talk to cute girls about technical topics and then as the evening winds down we can sip on some cocktails and then the conversation gets more casual and personal but my status and authority is solidified into their mind. A lot of introverts try to masquerade as extroverts and game that way but I found it personally to lead to burnout and lack of top tier results. Doing it the way I've explained has lead to way hotter women being into me.

Yeah that means you too bro, get a gym membership asap! 2027 is our year boys and girls. Building that summer bod 2027 starts now people! Most people only start on January 1st! We'll be 3 full months ahead of the competition, it's a done deal really

Yeah if I don't workout a lot I don't have much appetite and when I get busy with over areas of life it's hard to keep my workouts consistent. Women will devour you with their eyes if you look good walking down the street and if you get some liquid courage in them and they will grope you lol So many times I've gotten grabbed in some ways that are perhaps illegal by some strange women at clubs when they have the cover of the crowd and loud music as plausible deniability. Looksmaxxing is very important and a man who's serious about dating who doesn't work hard on his appearance is a fool.

It's also why sex appeal is a understated part of game. Working out, working on your fashion, getting tattoos, developing a memorable look, etc will help you get laid just as much as having solid personal finance. The personal finance is more important to your wellbeing and stability in life though so don't neglect one side in favor of another. I'm not the most fit guy, I gotta work out more as I'm too skinny but I had this picture up on my Tinder for a while and I was getting dates 2-3 times a week with that profile. Conventional wisdom will tell you a shirtless pic is tryhard and won't work. Don't listen to most people for dating advice, their bias seeps through them and they have no idea what works. I'm starting to workout more these days and will get a few tattoos in the next 6 months and I wanna get some earrings to up my style game and when I update my profile I expect even better results.

I don't think it's movies, it's much deeper then that. Violence is the core of our species, it used to be the main job of men. You fight and kill animals to feed the tribe. You fight and kill invaders to protect the tribes. It's the original competency skill. Of course our society has moved past this but humans experience reality through our limbic systems way before our prefrontal cortex. Why wouldn't a dangerous man give a woman more tingles than a soyboy type of dude? The lesson is not to do more crime but to workout and be an overall competent man with an edge. I noticed with my last girlfriend we would fuck most often on the days after I worked out, she wouldn't know when I had been to the gym but the body knows what it wants.

Thanks for elaborating, I still disagree with you but perhaps our disagreement is in terms of timeframes? Are you saying that if for a lifetime if someone ignores these drives you think it won't impact their mental health negatively or do you mean that a short break of a few months or few years can be healthy? If it's the latter I agree with you, if it's the former I think you're off the boat and lost at sea.

The conclusion is simple: ignoring fundamental psychological and biological drives while living in the real world will ruin your mental health and produce bitter coping mechanisms. If your entire contention was taking an analogy literally, you've spent a lot of energy arguing against a point no one was making.

Why do you think that this will result in price appreciation? It's performance has continuously been way worse than Bitcoin. Seems that the gap is only gonna get wider if anything due to institutional backing being disproportionately in favor of Bitcoin which will directly lead to appreciation. The only saving grace is in an altseason it might see a capital rotation that has gains that temporarily go higher than bitcoin's but selling at the top is so hard in that situation. If that's your strategy I would say some juicier alts such as Bittensor are a better strategy.

I'm confused as to what value you think your clarification is offering here, did you just want to argue about the semantic difference between levels of needs that humans have?
