This is actually the crux of the issue why cold approach is fundamentally not a good technique. It doesn't offer value it's just a an outreach method. If 100 dudes start hosting event it would elevate the city that they're in. The more dudes cold approach(especially clumsily and without calibration) the more guarded and less trusting of men women get. I t's kinda like being a telemarketer and just brute forcing marketing, sure you can make some money but there are more effective frameworks that are more win-win for both women and yourself. I still think it teaches you stuff to do it for a while but graduating to other more powerful forms of social strategy is mandatory for a man that wants world class results.

I still think you're spiritually bypassing and by hoping that your authenticity is enough. I never said to not be authentic but I don't even know what that means, I've pretty much never lied to women in my whole game career I always made it a point to tell all the girls I've dated I studied pick up for example and that's never backfired on me. Offering value as a man is a different concept. It's like what does authenticity have to do with feeding yourself? It's tangential. Feel free to experiment with this style of dating for a few months and get back to us on how it worked out. I could be wrong and you could find what you want quickly but my guess is that it's gonna be a little harder than just trying to be authentic and hoping people accept you without getting down to the core of how who you are as a man and what you offer the women that you're hoping to date.

Couldn't agree more. I'll race you to $1,000,000

@Asayake I think honestly man you're right that this forum is not serving you well. If you hangout on the Roblox forum you should find more interesting questions that are a match for your level of intellect.

Feel free to correct me and point out exactly where I'm wrong. I think you're feeling triggered and cornered. If you don't value intellectual integrity it's indeed useless for me to point out the flaws in your arguments even if it is objective. If it was not objective and true feel free to deconstruct my points just like I did to yours

Love Eminem he's up there for sure. One of the top stories of the american dream. Also some lessons to learn for us to learn on love and fame. I took a girl to karaoke one time and chose an Eminem song. One of the biggest mistakes of my life, his flow is way too fast I looked like an autist trying to replicate it even with a song I knew well. The cheeks went unclapped that night

I disagree with the mods and Leo on half of my posts. Why on earth would your goal ever be to be liked by a conformist crowd, your goal in life should always be to add value to whatever environment you're in. Conforming to the status quo or crying about not being responded to are both non-value adding moves. The 3rd most watched video on his channel is about emotional control. Yet you spiralled and fell pray to victim thinking, seeking validation and didn't introspect on what was happening.

For sure man, you deserve the best dating life that you can possibly imagine. That's why I write these crazy polyamory posts because that's the most beautiful life I can envision for myself. It's sure as fuck not easy but each day one step closer!

I didn't feel like backing up Bryan once more after I did it repeatedly would more value to the thread, highlighting your blind spots is more fun for me I like to challenge people. With skillful rhetoric you should be able to turn any conversation into a valuable exchange for both parties. It's a good point though you need people to push the overton window for society to evolve even if they do it not perfectly. I love the fact that Bryan coined the slogan Don't Die; I think that with the way biotech, medical research and AI recursive learning is going there is a good chance that we do end up biologically immortal in 20 years. This point is hilarious but seems bit true in that I think Bryan seems to not be a breakthrough researcher himself but more of an entrepreneur/marketer who shares his personal health journey as a way to leverage his business skills to add value to the medical industry and create a strong brand. I also like how he went to India and humiliated them a bit on their air quality issue. It definitely lacked some social calibration but its a useful call out; apparently 2M die prematurely over there due to it thats fucking crazy.

Of course it's yours. You're pointing fingers instead of figuring out your own blindspots. Saying that you're beyond something instead of trying to understand it which is the easy way out and ultimately a critique from below. The mind likes to think that it's always right but for that to hold up consistently you must first understand the other party's point of view and steel-man it instead of straw-manning it. Leo points to a valid phenomenon in that marketers tend to overhype stuff and even truly competent entrepreneurs tend to underestimate the timeline it takes to bring stuff to market. So even though Bryan means well it's a fair critique of his brand. Elon Musk famously does the same thing and even though he usually delivers; it pretty much always never goes according to his promised timeline.

That truth should be your highest principle otherwise anything else that you try to value over it will be corrupted and rendered weaker if not completely useless if not completely backfire in your face because of it.

I like the word leverage. It's simple at first but if you understand how it works it describes most of the mechanisms of power in our world. It's more the concept that is cool than the word but with this one word you can build an empire.

For sure, it starts with the mindset though. If you don't believe you make it then your limiting beliefs stop you from even trying to build the logistics.

That's a false dichotomy. For example I'm an INTP and I think in systems so business theory makes a lot of sense to me. I also am low industriousness so I'm not the best at grinding all day consistently. Others will have different strengths and weaknesses, doesn't mean your genetics make up your destiny fully. It's about self-awareness and understanding the world. If you're born with dwarfism then of course your genetics have determined your destiny to be an athlete but you can become a billionaire business person fuck it. I know this cool little person club promoter in Montreal who seems like he's doing well and co-owns some clubs here and he seems like he's having a hella fun time. https://www.instagram.com/mass_min Clearly he learned some social dynamics and business leverage and figured it out. Other guys will cry about their height and how they can't get better at dating because of it.

Of course we can, you're just not understanding the psychology of the issue. When people deal with chronic health issues like Leo, Natasha and others then of course they're gonna be offended by people preaching magical solutions that perhaps might one day happen but aren't helping yet. I love AI but my roommate a few years ago was telling me about post scarcity and " BrO theyRe Gonna Announce UBI AnydDay Now Why ArE you complaining!!" when I had $300 in my bank account and he had 100k in his and I felt like punching him in the moment for lacking empathy. Bryan does sensationalize his work and research which has some good effects like bringing more awareness to it but also it serves as overhyping something that can't really help people today.

Sorry man sounds like you're under a lot of stress. I don't think we can help you but hopefully your local police department will help you figure it out. Good luck bro

Beautifully makes my point but Riot Games a billion dollar revenue company backed by pretty much infinite money from Tencent has to come up with a new way to revitalize League of Legends. What do they do? Add a new gamemode that's just LoL from 12 years ago. Stagnation in the industry is so real all the biggest multiplayer games just revert back to their old mode as to freshing things up. I really think virtual reality, augmented reality and web 3 financialization are the way forward in the industry that are gonna make breakthrough concepts possible. People hate web 3 but I'm 90% it's the future that everyone is gonna love when it's done right. What on earth is the possible reason to get deeply invested in a multiplayer pvp game if there is no reward? That's just a company hijacking your reward system and lack of success in real life so you start to want to gain status in their game world. Fuck that. I want to beat a dude and take his money by winning a PvP duel, anything less is a joke.

Have you reported this to the police? What makes you think snoop dogg is involved?

I have been slacking on the actual game development part since I guess it takes the most effort and takes the longest to pay off. I've been mostly lore building and creating the core narrative of the world and the plot twist that will make the storyline thrilling for the anime. I think playable games are the best form of intractability for media and turns out games make much more money than anime, movies and TV shows I think put together actually so it is unavoidable for me to ship an actual great game for my vision to come to life. I made such a cool plot that I think it would be a bastardization to just watch it, it has to be played. Especially if I can eventually make it a high quality VR experience over the next 5-10 years that would be insane. Preview of the invasion of hell. That's where the name comes from. The abyss is hell and it's the legend of how it intertwines itself with earth and heaven. Inspired partly by Dante's inferno. I'm trying to build up the audience and marketing for the game as I build it so I'm trying to post daily on Twitter to build traction so it builds a feedback loop of motivation and day 1 players and buyers when there is a playable version.

What do you mean by this?

Oreo or nah? My mom did make the best spaghetti I've ever had, there must be something to this.

Farms are wild. Trigger warning don't read this if you are easily shocked but this is the wildest case I've ever read https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1dvlrzd/til_the_last_words_of_serial_killer_peter_kürten/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kürten I won't describe it here but let's just say he makes Jeffrey Dahmer look pretty tame. And his first loves were sheep, pigs and goats. I like me some bacon but not that much.

What in the actual fuck I didn't even consider that angle. If you're gonna engage in sexual activity with another being the campground rule is important, you gotta leave it better than you found it.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's a bit creepy yeah but that's only gonna be more and more common on the internet unless there is a login wall but then you lose out on organic traffic from interested new users so it's a bit of a catch-22.

This is awesome keep it up. The fun part is not the rejection. The fun part is when you fuck a girl cuz of advice you read on the internet. That's truly magical. I've had some truly traumatizing approaches lmao. One of them I remember distinctly is a a girl walking down really cute blondie and then she just made a disgusted face and waved her hand like don't talk to me. I had never gotten that one before, it went from a good day to quite depressing instantly. I slumped back to the train station heading back home in defeat and then I saw another cute girl dark skin brown hard and then my buddy was with me so he pushed me to approach her and I did and she was super down and we went on a date a couple days later. I've had another one where I was walking with friends and told my buddy to approach this girl and he chickened out so I did it. I said "Hey excuse me I think you're cute and then she started yelling I DONT KNOW THIS MAN GET AWAY FROM ME. I said 5 words and that's what happened not like I harassed her and this was like a busy thursday night with many people around so idk what her problem was either trauma or read too much Pink pill female advice and was ready to drop the hammer on a dude lol. Glad it happened to me and another dude cuz I dont really give a fuck but thank God I had friends with me otherwise that would've been a truly embarrassing one. Those are just two bad examples out of hundreds of mostly good responses or at worst neutral. You can't let a few bad approaches get you down, it's the game baby! That's literally the main reason why game works is most guys give up and don't do it so you automatically meet more women by 90% of men if you start cold approaching or building an intentional social circle.
