I thought it was a really good video, thanks for sharing. He correctly highlights her needy tendencies and pathology of projecting her own insecurity and feeling of weakness unto her husband. Good on her for having the courage to open up publicly on stream, that's way more hardcore than therapy!

You have to reframe it. Rejection is good, it means you're going for what you want. Society would tell you a man that gets rejected 99% of the time is a failure; if he does 500 approaches his chances are looking good though. You'll probably start out at less than 1% success rate but as you get better at it it'll go above it so learning seduction is a really fun and encouraging journey once you start getting some momentum.

Women are very loving people in general but whether they value your existence and want to associate with you is a whole different topic. That's why self-improvement is deeply tied to dating. In ancient societies a boy would be put through a challenging rite of passage to graduate into manhood and being worthy of a woman. Our society has mostly let go of these traditional rites of passages but the principle still applies.

Well, can you define what you mean by telepathy, then we can have a more accurate conversation about it? Personally, I've had many mystical experiences where people around me complete my thoughts out loud. Like, I’ll be thinking, "Wouldn't it be crazy if VR..." and right then, a group of people next to me will say, "finally got good!" in the context of a completely different conversation. It tripped me out and led to anxiety and paranoia at first but I'm used to it now. I think reality is a giant mind and sometimes if you pay enough attention to the patterns the streams of consciousness cross. If you mean more like being able to know what someone is thinking I think that is also a fascinating rabbit hole to go down. I think humans are constantly broadcasting what they are thinking so the lines between what is telepathy and just good communication skills can blur. Getting better at reading body language has led me to understanding people many times before they use their words to convey their meanings. For example I just got a job at an English speaking Italian deli here in Montreal and about 60% of customers speak english and 40% speak french. I can usually tell just by saying Hello if someone speaks mostly French by the sort of deer in the headlights face they make. I think that can be described as mild mind reading. If you mean the opposite being able to implant your own thoughts into someone's mind then that's just overall communication like speech, writing, rhetoric, charisma, marketing, etc. Then you have technological mind reading, they are working on it as we speak. I think there are a lot of really cool applications to this technology, breakthroughs in criminology come to mind.

How would you say you personally differentiate between escape attempts and genuinely embracing of life without letting society's judgment weigh you down?

I can definitely relate, that's the good part about believing in a higher power, that it can help us when we can't help ourselves. Most of my moments of surrender in life have come from my moments of weakness. I think it's also important to be connected to God when you're on the upside and things are going well. That's when you can find the funny and mischievous parts of God and not just connect to its caretaking properties. This Madonna-whore complex with spirituality is how people end up with a duality of assigning all the bad and evil sides of life or even the hedonistic and sex filled parts with Demons and the Devil and all the savior and caretaking and sanitized part to God and Angels. God is both and everything!

Haha we'll get along one day I'm sure! We just seem to have different communication style and I tend to give people tough love because I think we all need it at times and it's lacking on this forum compared to the emotional support the community often seems to default to.

To unite mankind of course! Yeah a lot of hardcore feminists still crave men and will be down to get down with the right ones.

I mean yeah that's actually not a bad idea. You gotta keep it professional but mixing your game with your passions is both more fun and more scalable than just doing it at random clubs or daygame. I organize fashion and content meetups and some people are really into nightlife and they do that and some people are music promoters and network and meet friends and romantic partners that way.

You should try filming street interviews clips of your approaches like this and building up your IG or Youtube at the same time as doing game. Way better ROI on your time than just doing pickup for hours on end and you also get to rewatch your interactions and improve way faster. Worked really well for me when I tried it. It's cool to both have memories of your old game days and also you see how far you've come. I'm way better at conversation now then I was back then, a lot of times especially with the added pressure of being filmed I defaulted to just asking question after question without really being taking the time to banter and flirt with the girls. The dudes I linked above are not bad, some dudes get pretty legendary at it though. This practice helped a lot for when I eventually launched a group podcast last year.

Not really, the idea is simply about having a logical strategy that aims toward abundance. You maximize looks, money, and status not to make them your religion, but because having leverage drastically expands the pool of attractive and cool people who are down to date you.

Physical beauty and sexual attraction are so important in romantic relationships. We are biological creatures before we are intellectual psyches. You don't have to choose between attraction or intelligence, that's a scarcity mindset. Also valuing physical beauty doesn't negate wanting intellectual intimacy and connection.

Society is phenomenal. The game is about developing agency in your own life and the leverage and power to help steer society towards conscious development. The more you study where we come from and how we got here, the more amazed you'll be at the world we have built today.

It's definitely an experimental passion project but the goal is to commercialize it. The marketing is going well so far, most people I show it too seem to like the idea and some of the videos are getting a decent amount of views on socials. I've decided to write a Light Novel as the first version of the Visual Novel which I'll be starting to post that on WattPadd and Royal Road over the next few weeks. I got the first Chapter about 70% nailed down, I'll post it here. If you guys wanna give me feedback on it, it'd be much appreciated! I'm gonna write it George R.R. Martin style and switch POV each chapter so I can introduce the different cast members and have them develop their own plot lines in the game. The first one is from Livia's perspective, she's gonna be one of the main framing characters of the Visual Novel so I think it's best to start readers off from her perspective. The setting is Venice in 1671 at the Naval Academy, in the story Venice is controlled by Naples where a lord conquered all of Italy in the mid 17th century and renamed it to the Iveilan empire. This is her character overview:

What's wrong with copying successful content formats? Shorts are great, they let you watch a video and only spend 30 seconds -2 mins of your time. So many cool long form videos I wanna watch but they're too long and I can only justify spending so much time watching videos a week. That's interesting, you mostly consume YouTube on your phone? I guess I do watch shorts on my phone but I would say 70% of my YouTube consumption is on my laptop. Have you ever thought about being a content creator yourself? I think it's a really fun hobby to get into and the potential ROI if you manage to do it well is massive.

This is actually an interesting case of multiperspectivalism. My first experience of Samuel L. Jackson was Mace Windu so for me he killed the role. I watched him in Pulp Fiction only much later, probably only like 10 years ago. To me I always see him as the stoic badass Jedi Master in all his roles like Avengers, Snakes on a Plane and Django Unchained is like his evil version of that. I don't recall seeing him in a different archetype of character but I'm sure he's played some.

That misses the point entirely. The ability to understand someone's internal rationalization doesn't change whether the outcome is functional or destructive. People construct logical narratives for self-sabotaging behavior all the time. Empathy lets you map their reasoning; discernment lets you recognize when that reasoning leads to an objective dead end.

You're making one HUGE leap of assumption here that every human is rational. A lot of people vote against their own self-interest and literally in the past 10 years plenty have died because of voting for Trump and then him cutting their medical funding. Plenty of people can be manipulated to act against their own best self-interest or are actually so stupid that they don't even act in their own best interest in the first place. You're making the Stage Green mistake of invalidating objective hierarchies. Plenty of people objectively are terrible at learning things and they cannot deal with new and difficult situations. If you wanna add to it problem solving as an intelligent person should be able to solve their life's problems; you can add to the definition of stupidity creating problems for yourself and others.

Mastering social calibration is how you do it. Doing pickup is one of the best way to learn since you're putting yourself in one of the highest friction mode of interactions possible, approaching a woman that you don't know on the sidewalk. Teaches you building rapport quickly and also little things like body language and facial expressions. There is a good argument that pickup should be practiced even without the goal of romantic intent because it's such a powerful social skills training mechanism. I was a shy introvert before and now often times people don't believe me when I say I'm an introvert because I host events with 20-50 people but I do that like one every once in a while and the rest of the time I mostly chill at home. Other great avenues to practice social calibration are getting a sales job or working in customer service/retail/restaurants. All of these avenues gives you both high number of social encounters to learn from with little stakes in terms of messing them up at first. There's so many great videos on Youtube that'll teach you advanced social calibration to the point that you can end up understanding social dynamics way better than neurotypicals. There is a camp that would call social skills training the opposite of authenticity but I disagree. It lets you gain intentionality over your behaviour, how you come across and your relationship with others. That would be like saying learning to walk or to speak a language is a lack of authenticity because it's not our natural states.

@Juan Racer review is out!

Fair point @yetineti. Best to just let the process play out and see what official details actually emerge from the grand jury rather than speculating.

I think you have a big mental block around this and clearly life needs to prove it to you deeper before you get it. The one that's predictable is you my friend, I told you this exact situation would happen 2 months ago. Your answer to me calling you out was to flex your bodycount and project me lying to get laid since that was an old habit of yours. It's fine to have an ego but I hope that I've proved to you that your personality is quite easy to read and your bottlenecks are obvious. I think you're making a lot of assumptions that are not based in reality. The more financial abundance you have, the more optionality you have. You don't only have to date career women or influencers, you can date any type of woman that you choose. More importantly, you have more leverage over your lifestyle. If you have enough savings you could take 3 years to travel the world and mostly focus on your dating life and only maintain your cash flowing assets. If you had even more money stacked up you could never work another day in your life and spend the whole rest of your life finding the highest-quality, most conscious women on earth. Attributing negative traits to people that have more abundance than you is a classic sign of scarcity mindset. I was a dating photographer for years. I've worked with students that used their last money before their next paycheck to buy my shoots, with well off entrepreneurs that just wanted abundance and even with religious dudes that have no interest in sleeping around and just want to find a high quality wife. Dating strategy for males is pretty straight forward and ignoring the basis of reality will only leave someone frustrated and unfulfilled. I've tried to point out Miguel's blindspots but he insists that he has it all figured out and other people are the problem. The post I quoted was 2 months ago, someone that is stubbornly trying to push through the same wall with the same strategy is bound to spin their wheels for years. Life is mostly patterns, if you refuse to spot the ones that hold you down then you're bound to repeat the same mistakes. We'll see how his journey develops. All the best man.

Sure same. I will make the prediction that as biotech comes up with designer drugs that uniquely address an individual's genome like they're working on and your energy issues are fixed you and Miguel will be back in the club in 2032 and meditating in a cave will be a long-forgotten thought. IMO let's just thank God that we live in the 21st century and not in antiquity and most of the problems we face have real solutions and there is no need to meditate most issues away.

Let's actually describe what's happening here though. He never talked about transcending relationships, he talked about not being able to find the right partner and get the relationship he wants. I doubt that for most people any level of consciousness really makes you transcend relationships. When I had mystical experiences what I personally experienced was that my limitations were imaginary or temporary and I could build whatever life I want. That could be different for others but it seems a lot of times you just are able to be content with not reaching other goals that were previously important to you such as a high quality relationship. That's why I called it coping. Coping is a valid strategy for some problems in life but every person needs the self-awareness to know what they want and not lie to themselves. Miguel has made another thread on this before so we have a lot more context than this one. Seems to me like he's still figuring out his value as a man and doesn't have a solid career and business set up for himself and due to that fact he's not able to get the level of respect and abundance in his dating life that he desires. I believe he has a bias that I commonly call the unhealthy stage green shadow where his rejection of stage orange's validity is leading him to the conclusion that women are playing games and not being ready for a man of his caliber in terms of vulnerability and honesty. We can deconstruct this further but that's my read. As I've stated previously there's no real shame in this. I think a lot of men settle for mediocre relationships where both parties don't really respect nor really appreciate each other and settling for such an arrangement is unfortunate. To really get a high level relationship you need to develop your life in terms of both communication skills and emotional intelligence but also more realistically having a level of financial abundance especially as a man is very important. There's a reason financial issues are one of the leading causes of divorce. I think it's a wise move to take a break from dating to work on that and I've done the same.

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.
