That was exactly my conclusion as well. The relationship frameworks I saw happen in that community are fascinating to me though. I'm a huge fan of dating protocols. I like systems and logic. Having a female sub that journals her thoughts daily for me to read to guide her through life sounds really fun. What was shocking to me is the amount of women that crave exactly that. There's some more interesting ideas I have but I'll spare the details for now it's not really what's important. For me what that website and the BDSM subreddit did is give me permission to indulge in my deepest fantasies and the proof that for every fetish in life(or at least most) there is an enthusiastic participant for it. I find that a lot of people on this forum are stuck up with their sexuality so I would encourage everyone to read through the subreddit and experience the different tastes that exist in the world that aren't usually shared in polite society. https://www.reddit.com/r/bdsmcommunity I actually shot a podcast with one of the biggest BDSM educators on Youtube a few years ago. She's a dominatrix and although I'm not a male sub, I wanted to pick her brain on BDSM and the people that interact with her profession. I find sexuality a fascinating topic to explore both from a pickup perspective but also a sexology one. I think most people in society are close minded in this area and are ruining their own potential fun and possibility for a way more fulfilling dating life than average.

It seems like you guys are stuck in normative dating. Have you guys tried BDSM? It seems like you guys are describing a nagging girlfriend that will pull you away from your goals in life and be a waste of energy. It's definitely possible to find an intelligent, beautiful, insightful woman that will be completely submitted to you and love every second of it that you can build whatever business or life purpose goals you want with and have all the kinky wild sex while also experiencing the other parts of relationships like support through tough times and children. I want a few women like that in my life, I think we'll have phenomenal adventures together and build something truly great in the process. Remember that 50 Shades of Grey and Twilight are amongst the most popular women's media ever and they definitely don't depict vanilla dating. Nobody likes that shit, it's just a greatest common denominator that's helped us maintain society and reproduce up to this point. Of course dating like a normie is a giant headache not worth dealing with for anyone that's done serious self-development. If you guys have never been on this website you're missing out https://fetlife.com/ It's possible to be asexual and have a low libido but from the look of it, it sounds mostly like a lack of alignment. @Leo Gura Bro I think you need like 20% of a sex cult and you'll be much happier. Ethically and aligned with the women of course but plenty of really cool women would be really into that.

I have a very strong paternal instinct so I would be very unsettled by kids running around that I don't know about but it seems to work for others. IMO there's concepts being mixed up here. I don't see any reason why enlightenment would make you less satisfied with dating. I think indeed you have to become satisfied with your life and your purpose in it and add dating as a cherry on top then. What's not to love about finding people similar to you to go on adventures with? Even if I'm the same as every other human on earth there are many varying kinds of pursuits that people find meaningful so finding the right feminine counterparts to spend my many future hundreds of years in this world with seems like a very fun quest. Most male dating issues are about lacking the abundance to be able to attract the right partners or having the right leverage in society to live the life they envision or lacking the screening skills to refuse partners that don't fit their desired life.

Seems like cope for a lack of effective dating strategy IMO. Especially since the desire seems to be there and it's the strategy and abundance that's the problem. This advice sounds like ascetic escapism.

Yes I think social circle events are getting way more popular since people are getting tired of the digital world and also the AI revolution is making people anxious about technology. I think it's great and it's reinforcing the importance of third places. Online dating is still great and I would highly recommend incorporating it in your dating strategy though. No easier way to get consistent dates if you take the time to set up a proper profile instead of uploading 4 random pictures and then giving up on it forever.

Sweet, I'm rewatching all the movies over the next few months to study worldbuilding for my own dark fantasy project. I watched Order of the Phoenix a few weeks ago and it's definitely not my favorite. I like how it shows autocracy sweeping over Hogwarts through Umbridge but apart from that it's pretty mid. I'll update you when I watch more but I remember Chamber of Secrets fondly. It had a survival horror vibe that's unique compared to the rest and it's where we really start fearing Voldemort. Thanks for sharing the film director clip, I'll watch it after I rewatch Azkaban and repost on this thread. I've been shooting a lot of content for my brands and clients over the last few years so it gave me a new unique appreciation for movies. Shooting a high quality 3 min Instagram Reel is difficult enough, I'm mind blown that people do it for 2 hour movies. Gosh the video editing on that must be a nightmare, movie editors are massively underrated. I hate video editing like the plague lol. I don't know if you're into VR but if not yet perhaps worth getting a headset and giving it a go. It's at least 5x the immersion of playing a video game on a screen. There's a famous mod for Hogwarts Legacy that people seem to like!

Freeze your sperm and take your time, there's no rush biotech is on our side. You can take the next 10 years to explore life more and then settle down and have kids in your 40s. We've had this conversation before but I think your mindset is the problem. Whether or not you accept that, the advice is still the same. Breaks and letting go of pressure and expectations are great and the gift of life that we have in the 21st century and in the west is living life mostly on our terms. Having your dream dating life on your own terms is one of the key parts of that. I've taken about 3 years off of dating now to be able to tackle my dating life the way I envision it and I feel great about it. The man I was 3 years ago could not get the dream dating life I want. I hate compromising and 2027 is lining up to be able to give me all that I've ever wanted in terms of dating and I'm very excited to dive back in.

Lmao it's starting, the great AI fuelled media renaissance! It starts with funny meme videos like this but in 2 years you'll be able to generate your own movies and copyright them and market them. It's gonna elevate the movie and the rest of the entertainment industry 10x by crushing the monopoly that big film studios currently have on it.

You'd be surprised, try tantra. Once I meditated holding hands with my girlfriend for like 15 mins and then I had like a 40 second long orgasm after we fucked, best orgasm of my life and only time it's ever happened. I think you can get it to the point where you are like one soul in two bodies experiencing each other type of thing but I haven't tried it that deeply apart from that one experience. I'd also recommend checking out BDSM if you want to learn how to keep injecting sexual tension into your relationship. Depending what you both are into it can keep things interesting and novel for easily a decade. I agree that drinking can loosen you up a lot and help you connect, it's no fun to always be a 24/7 sober productivity robot.

Plenty of IDF soldiers have been caught targeting civilians intentionally. Be a little more intellectually honest, please.

You can become an art critic. Post yourself on social media reviewing different type of animes and video games that you enjoy. Plenty of people make a living this way.

Oh yeah fair, there are some $20 books that are goldmines. Have you heard of the Alex Hormozi book series? I got the first one earlier in the year so good. The shocking part to me is the lack of awareness that it's a dead end. Especially in an era of AI, I think basically all criminals will be caught in the next 30 years. Perhaps it's more exciting for them than sitting down and reading a book on business.

I haven't played it but I researched it, it's for sure one of the most successful game adaptations in recent memory. You're in luck, they're working on the sequel as we speak! Which movie is your favorite and how come?

You should screen if they're open to it beforehand but many girls would be. Plenty of women are bicurious and too anxious to give it a go. I'm half joking don't just spring it up on them but definitely discuss it.

It's time, we've been preparing for this exact moment. You must now invite them both over at the same time over a bottle of wine and let the magic happen. Not the Disney kind of magic; much better. You got this soldier, report back!
