I was indeed not into polyamory at that time correct. Once again big difference between open and closed polyamorous relationships.

Of course, I was pretty deeply in love with my last girlfriend. I think avoiding deconstructing love helps save us from the painful parts of our past and specifically why our last relationships fell apart. To create much stronger ones in the future though that avoidance must be addressed to not repeat our mistakes continuously.

I really like how this guy handles his devlogs and game production. This guy is a natural at audience market fit, with only 19 videos he's had 3,662,094 views. I don't know if he's archived some of his worst performing ones or if his art style and thumbnails are just this good, either way it's quite impressive. He's now getting funding through Patreon and Adsense to hire freelancers to help him on the project. I joined his Discord a couple of days ago, it's cool to see how he now has an active community around his ideas. That's where I wanna be 1 year from now. Just finished Day 11 of daily reels/Youtube shorts. If we extrapolate that to 30 days that makes for around 9k views a month and 10 subscribers per month. I think I can do better and reach more like 50k views which would start to give me some pretty good momentum. I've noticed that my best performing format so far seems to be combining history with how I'm gonna be implementing it in my world as opposed to just straight sharing worldbuilding ideas, so I'm gonna make more content around that. Getting into long form content should help as well for audience buy in, so far I've only made concept arts in that format but I'm working up to making explainer videos that are 5-10 mins in length. I have a new strategy I'm gonna be working on combining this LotA channel with my main personal youtube one so I'll update you guys in a few days when I post the first video around that.

Plenty of people have. What exactly is the part that still frustrates you about true love? Demystifying concepts requires asking the right questions. You seem hesitant to phrase your exact concerns on the issue. Is it mainly about having relationships stand the test of time? Or keeping the spark alive after initial infatuation? Or a soul mate type of question, like with all the 4 billion women out there which one is really the one meant for me? There's really only two main tracks of questions if we look at love in a romantic relationship. Finding it and keeping it.

I don't think this is an optimal strategy. It's hard to say truly, I'm not sure tbh. Recommending women not try to put effort into the men they are dating is pretty interesting take though and is basically Red Pill from the female perspective. I remember reading similar takes on the female dating strategy subreddit. I think it comes down to self-awareness, dating around and seeing what you personally enjoy in your life. I think some women enjoy chasing a man as long as their energy is matched. The definition of simping in my book is putting in more effort than what you're getting out so being a simp is not a good strategy for either gender.

I'm not a big fan of mystifying things. Relationships are great and clearly filled with love. It's the concept of true love that you seem stuck on. What does it mean to you? I was somewhat joking but I think part of the magic to life is the drive to keep giving your all even when life is hard. Relationships/female companions with nice butts are part of that for sure. It's the magic of duality baby, definitely not nothing and certainly a very nicely shaped Everything.

True love is everywhere. We have to define our terms here. If you mean an everlasting relationship with no conflict that's a bit harder achieve. True love is like seeing the perfect ass when you were depressed and realizing that life is worth living after all. I think this is my favorite love song ever I sometimes wish that I could fly Hold me tight in your arms tonight Sick of livin' inside a lie Alright I can't count the times I've tried Stand alone just to lift you high You're my answer to the question why

I don't see why not.

One of the deepest awakenings I've ever had was on shrooms and the biggest feeling I got from it was basically like "this is too good to be true." I think that's what a lot of stage green people on the forum feel especially in regards to sex. Like I can have as much sex as I want and still have an awesome life? It's too good to be true. I think it has to be done responsibly but I like pushing back on people's limiting beliefs. I indeed agree that unrestrained reality is peak.

Annihilates in what way? I didn't realize the literal definition of materialism is the philosophical belief that physical matter is the fundamental substance of reality, so I give you a point there. The point I meant to attack is that enlightenment comes bundled with eliminating desire. I think it reshapes our relationship to it but definitely not eliminate it. Desires are a feature, not a bug. Compulsive cravings are another subject entirely.

Appreciate it bro. It is on topic though, I very much dislike how a lot of spiritual people try to wish away materialism. I don't think it's wise, I think it's spiritual bypassing. Words have meaning though otherwise we can't have accurate conversations. You cannot be nothing otherwise you wouldn't experience phenomena. Being everything makes sense under the non-dual paradigm. Being nothing makes no sense and I think is pseudo-intellectual. Likewise bro, I appreciate you.

Growth and evolution. Being able to attract females in most species has driven natural selection forward for hundreds of thousands of years. If there was no pussy to reward my efforts I would be much lazier in life. I would call them a muse more than a drug. Drug has a negative connotation. If you have a negative relationship with women, that's on you. @How to be wise I quite like René Girard's theory on desire but I don't think it's the full picture here, maybe only like 30-40%. There is clearly something both biological as well as ethereal and spiritual to the relationship between the feminine and the masculine.

I wouldn't call it nothing, I never liked that phrasing of it. It's inaccurate, and I would say reality revolves around the exact opposite concept. It's more like you are everything. I think the nothing phrasing also leads to nihilism, I see it in users on this forum. Thinking of yourself as everything makes way more sense to me, then you're simply experiencing yourself infinitely in all kinds of ways. Most spiritual people tend to be very limited people that don't have much impact on the world and I think it's because they get lost in a nihilistic solipsistic bubble and awakening somehow makes them weaker instead of more powerful.

I'm confused, you think you disappear once you have an awakening? I did it a few times and it felt like I was having sex with myself with two bodies at once, it was pretty cool. The eye contact is intense. Hard to think about who exactly you're looking at in the moment but it feels otherworldly for sure.

Have you tried having sex on psychedelics or tantric sex? Having sex while in a non-dual state is something else my guy let me promise you that.

Be careful what you wish for because you might get it all! Looks like true love to me.

Lmao of course you can know if you're enlightened. Be careful of gurus selling you a trick that's unknowable you just have to keep listening to them or buy their books or their meditation seminars! I'm glad you agree. If someone can't find oneness in a vagina then there is something wrong with their psyche for sure.

You need to get the premium version, it unlocks world conquest mode for most AI girlfriend models.

How do you know this? Neglecting your body and having monks force-feed you is not exactly being enlightened enough to stop eating in my books lol. Sounds more like hyperfocus to me and perhaps irresponsibility since you're forcing others to be responsible for your daily needs and being a hindrance to them. I think learning to not be desperate for sex is important but let's not call sexual desire low consciousness, I think that's simply spiritual bypassing.

That's not the definition of an ultimatum. Telling someone "hey I don't wanna date you but if you want to keep fucking casually we can do that" is not an ultimatum, it's being honest and transparent. Sometimes people get hung up on you and it is indeed better to break it off and sometimes people can take the truth and keep sleeping with each other casually. A lot of women prefer this branch swinging method of dating where they aren't single for that long and are serially monogamous instead. I think it can sometimes be the case, but it's just as likely that sexual hangups are the issue here. I went to a Catholic high school and they would separate couples making out and tell them "leave room for Jesus!" I don't think that helped anyone understand healthy boundaries and sexual relations and probably caused more harm than good. I don't know what happened with your buddy but my guess is they kept fucking for a few months, it ran its natural course, she moved on to a boyfriend, and nobody was victimized.

So you believe you know what's best for other grown adults better than they do? That is fascinating psychology. Sounds like your friend was 100% transparent. He laid out the reality, didn't lie, and didn't lead her on. She made an autonomous adult decision to keep participating. Refusing to respect a woman's agency just because feelings can get complicated completely infantalizes her. When you operate from true abundance, you treat people like adults who are responsible for their own choices, boundaries, and emotional outcomes. You don't play savior and pretend women are fragile children who need you to manage their feelings for them.

Rob banks? Your AI girlfriend has small goals. Mine is getting me to conquer the world. She keeps saying let's take over! Could this be... true love?

@Joshe People aren't always in a phase of their life to engage in a serious long term relationship. I am not at this moment. Sometimes you just wanna hangout with a cool chick and fuck her and hangout but it doesn't make sense to date or it's just not the right person to date.

@Ulax Thanks bro, you're invited to a party when I purchase the estate. I think it's gonna take me around 6 years so let's call it Summer 2033 will be the housewarming party. I would like a property next to the ocean but a country river might do the trick since a beachside chateau is probably 3x the price as a country one. Indoor/outdoor pools though are a must as well as a hot tub, cold plunge and spa setup so I can host wellness retreats on top of photoshoots and galas. I knew a dating coach with a penthouse and he would host his seminars and clients at his place so his business offset his rent. That's the road I would take to finance the property and not really be impacted too much by the constant expenses that maintaining the property will incur. What do you want to change about the world? Which causes move you? Cybersecurity is just a skillset and perhaps a career path, not an end goal. What other skills do you have to combine with it to create a tech stack that will let you have massive impact in the world? You didn't answer the question of the thread. What is your life purpose and why is it worth it to you? Most people tend to give up on their dreams as they get older and the friction of the world kills their spirit. Don't be like most people, they are mediocre and don't do much in life. Make your vision even grander and work daily to achieve it. A great tip I have for that is to get into content creation. The feedback loop towards projects usually is months or years so it can get discouraging if you don't have constant Ws along the way. With content you can both help build a marketing engine that helps you gain awareness for your life purpose projects but most importantly, you can get daily and weekly Ws around your ideas by posting them in short-form and long-form content pieces. I started posting daily reels and youtube shorts for Legend of the Abyss, it's been a very valuable process so far. Day 11 today baby!

Sometimes moving is important to build a better life. If you're concerned about your safety, that would be my advice. If it's based on insecurity, then obviously becoming a more high status man has increased social pressure but you get rewarded with more pussy and more money so I mean do you want big things in life or do you want to be the average mediocre man? Just remember the concept of being at the cause and not the effect, that's what defines a real alpha male and high quality man. Now we're going full circle to the concept of going on the hard quest of building yourself up to become an abundant and powerful man or taking the quick and easy shortcuts like lying to women to get laid. To me the right answer is obvious but others keep surprising me with the shortcuts filled lives they choose to have. In my experience taking the easy way out works short term but inevitably catches up to you medium and long term.
