Feelings are kind of the soul interpreting reality without the logic to filter it. They are very vivid but can sometimes be dangerous.

Definitely love. Respect is too intellectual. I'm sure some women respect certain authors or people whose professional work they admire, but love or lust is completely different—and that's what you want if you desire a passionate relationship with women. Respect doesn't have much sexual polarity to it. It's important as well but secondary.

There is some truth to this but Owen definitely has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to traditional markers of success and status. What he says is correct but half truths. Most people won't get phenomenal success from just cold approach because they don't structure their life like he did. He went all in and went out basically every day for a decade and built a business around it. Most dudes that have a job and go out a few times a month won't have the same level of leverage from just social skills. I've met some of RSD Madison's students when they were out on bootcamp in Toronto after a few nights of coaching and it seems like he didn't teach them basic things like dressing well and one dude had these really funky thick glasses that made it at least 5x harder for him to hook women. Stuff like this needs to be fixed to get great results with the least amount of pain possible. Also a lot of looksmaxxing is fitness and muscles. Upper body muscle mass is one of the top predictors attraction for a man that actually translates to sexual interest in women. Leo's blog post is a bit cope. Women don't fuck enlightened dudes in droves, they fuck those that give them the right cocktails of emotions which is basically dopamine. Who get's laid more an enlightenment guru or the average club promoter? The whole human experience's point is to experience materialism, just being high consciousness will not cut it. If you can be as materialistic as possible while being high consciousness and loving and growth oriented THEN I think you got a good recipe for hooking up with a lot of hot high quality women.

Hojo is like the poor man's nonduality enthusiast lol, what he says doesn't really make sense most times. At least to me idk about you guys. If you don't believe in people Hojo then who are you? I don't like to do eye contact too much I feel like it's too intense and we get too close to eachother when we look into eachothers eyes it's like it divolves the barriers between consciousnesses. I like my individuality. With certain women it's intoxicating though.

Yes, that's a solid approach. The only thing I would include is a social networking component; you can invite the girls you aren't romantically involved with to group events, where they still contribute to your social capital. Which is why adding girls on Instagram is so much better than getting phone numbers.

Their UK charges, the government asked the US gov to get them for extradition. What a great day, it's always a shame when crimes go unpunished. I've had so many frustrating conversations trying to explain to guys why they shouldn't respect the Tates. Literally knew a girl that went to Romania to fuck Tristan Tate lol that was a little bit frustrating but that's life

If I were you I'd develop a content strategy. It's what I find to be the highest ROI activity with the lowest possible output time(15 mins to a few hours to make a reel/youtube video.) I don't know if it's what you consider magical but making consistent trackable progress towards your goals to me is the best magic in life. The rest is mostly temporary or an illusion. The quickest way to today feel magical is to take drugs or fuck an escort or watch porn but it doesn't really do anything for your life. I offered to help you throw a model photoshoot, we can still do that. Gaining status and having people in your city recognize you as high value man to me is the most magical tangible feeling I've experienced in life. One of the best moments in my life is when I organized a fashion show and some of the hottest girls I've met went out under my Royals Agency Brand. That's not really short term and I lost $2000 doing it but it was one of the best memories in my life. I like combining hot women to my business there isn't really anything more fun that I've tried. I'm working on a clothing brand that I'll launch maybe next year. To backpedal on Leo's point on discipline, the best magic I've found is realizing that your goals and ideas are working and you are actually able to impact reality and actualize your deepest desires and dreams. So no really you cannot create real magic soon in my experience. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DHCQsJGSYR2/

It's hard to beat the S&P 500 for general growth and stability, but if you're worried about tech over-concentration, you don't necessarily need to hide in gold. There’s a strong case for looking at Nuclear and Biotech as structural growth plays. Nuclear is no longer just a climate play—it’s becoming the backbone of AI infrastructure because data centers need massive, 24/7 baseload power that renewables can't yet provide. Similarly, biotech is seeing a massive wave of innovation in precision medicine and gene therapy that is maturing into actual revenue, offering growth potential that doesn't depend on the same market cycles as Big Tech. One quick thought on diversifying outside the US: while it’s a standard move, be careful about defaulting to Europe. The economic data there currently looks pretty weak compared to the US, with lower projected growth and ongoing energy-related risks. If you want true geographical diversification, you’re likely better off looking at a broader Emerging Markets index (focusing on regions like India or SE Asia) or considering a Global Infrastructure ETF. This gives you exposure to the actual 'hardware' of the global economy—power grids, logistics, and communications—which is less tied to the specific tech-bubble volatility you're worried about, and covers global regions without being tied to the EU’s specific economic challenges.

Classic to my people's culture and you guys know me by now, it's gonna be a harem anime so Nerathar(the main character) will have 4 main wives I find how harems is portrayed in anime is usually quite cringe like the dude gets all the girls but is really shy and uncomfortable with them and he never kisses them or has sex with them. Nerathar will have kids quite early let's say. I want to also put some realistic pickup component in it so it's fun and informative to watch. I had to tone down the number of women in his life so that it's not 100% male gazey and women viewers actually enjoy watching it. Originally he had like 18 wives and concubines. I want to perhaps still do it like this but I need to find an appealing way to write it and not making it too unhinged. Also I need to spend more time writing male characters there are really only 2 in the story so far and like 30 female characters. The premise of the show is actually based on post scarcity and a mirror to AI. The whole story is that he has incredibly powerful blood magic and teaches it to his followers to overthrow the current 15th century european powers that also have magic in the show but are using it to enslave and crush their citizens. I want to explore post scarcity would look in a fantasy world. He will use blood donations to create an infinite magic system and feed and house everyone for free. I want to create a realistic economic system and see how that affects labor and how you'd transition a fantasy world based on exploitation and slavery towards ultimate freedom. I want to see how that affects engineering as well so there will be massive construction projects in the empire as well as war machines like this one which is my favorite concept, the imperial dreadnoughts which are massive floating ships like the Star Wars Star Destroyers that are literally magically powered. The whole IP is based on logic and although it's fantasy I created a system to calculate the magical powers of the characters. I feel like anime and fantasy TV shows rely too much on plot armor and sudden power ups based on the power of friendship and it hurts my brain to watch a lot of times. So the mana system of the universe is called Aether and is calculated in Thaum units. An average human has 0T(I now just realized writing this that's the same accronym as testosterone idk if I'll keep or change it lol), a magical commoner has from 100 to 2k and a trained soldier is 2k to 6k and so on and so forth.

How so? This is what I would call genuine AI slop. People that use bots to spam Spotify with AI music and they had to take down 75 songs https://www.gadgetreview.com/spotify-deleted-75-million-ai-generated-tracks-and-its-not-done-yet If you genuinely use your time and use AI as a tool to create AI music I think that's genuine art and creation. I guess bots could also create genuinely good music en masse but we aren't really there yet.

I just finished finalizing the plot of the story. The whole idea is that the game will be part of a multimedia IP sort of like Star Wars or Pokemon. The anime is the main thing I'm using to visualize the plot, I don't really wanna spoil it but here is a wallpaper teaser. It way I'm thinking about it now the anime will feature 8 seasons. The 2d roguelite will be based on season 7. If I ever get to making that one then season 8 will be a special game and post conquest will be the final version of a VR MMORPG.

Well the good news is that your problem is easily diagnosable my friend. You mostly lack calibration and flow in your game. A cold approach should basically go opener -> hook -> DHV -> asking her questions -> Teasing her -> screening for logistics -> instant date/pulling/get the IG close If you use some principle like not giving a fuck without the proper sequence to frame it in then sure it will be unhinged or creepy. You want your self amusing to be part of the hook/dhv/teasing her. You can try it straight from the open but that's mostly not gonna work as well as being calibrated for 5 seconds then saying something funny or weird. The unhinged shit is the push part and the pull is you being a genuinely interesting and charming man. Try this format and report back. The cold approaching stats are pretty standardizable. For every about 10-40 approaches depending on how you look and your game level you will get an IG close and from there it should be about 1/3 turning dates and 30-60% of those turning into sex. Where would you say that your numbers are dropping off?

I think this is half true and half a dangerous train of thought. Children act authentically and they are not the most effective members of society. As adults we have the benefit of being able to regulate our impulses and use our developed Neo cortex to strategically plan for our goals. You’re right that most of that should be thrown out in the middle of talking to a girl but introspection on how that went and course correction if it did not go as planned are mandatory to achieve great results in life.

Of course it is. Nutrition and relationships are both core parts of the human experience. A low consciousness person or a person with low abundance will default to whatever is near them. A person with more resources and high consciousness will want the very best for them and not settle for what society tells them is appropriate food or a partner. Yeah bro you could be right but he literally said he took a test and he found himself as a secure style. I think it makes perfect sence that his psychology is perfectly healthy apart from a scarcity mindset and he has dated a perfectly nice girl and now that he is being asked to bet his life on her his subconscious is pulling the brakes hard and saying bro we need to seriously revaluate this. Commitment triggers fears for all sorts of valid reasons. In all cases it requires deeper investigation into the self and ultimately it will boil down to OP and his self-awareness. It reminds me of this thread from last month Ultimately it's the same thing, only @KaRzual knows his life and will have to deal with the consequences. I'm mainly emphasizing on being the voice towards abundance because the default is compliance and scarcity.

Yes I was just exposing the flaws in your enlightenment argument for what it is, spiritual bypassing by trying to use spirituality to hand wave materialism away. I've already answered your comment, there are many fascets that make up a phenomenal high quality relationship and being deeply attracted to your partner is one of them and deep compatibility with your life purpose is another. I'm sure there are more. This is a good comment. A lot of times as men we are shamed for our true desires and are expected to sacrifice for the collective. Sometimes that's needed but often times it's using us as disposable labor. There is no shame in wanting to date and sleep with very beautiful women especially if you've never been in a position to do so in your life before committing to this one. Most men have never slept with a really attractive women in their entire life whereas I think it's one of the most beautiful God gifted to us personally as men. Thank God that now you can learn how to do so easily on the internet, our ancestors had to go through way worse to be able to do so.
