Not with flying broomsticks but they research occultism and cast spells. Whether you believe the spells work or not up to you. If you believe the universe is not solely bound by the laws of physics then why not. There are men who become witches too, they're not actually called wizards that's just in media, they call themselves witches as well. My buddy had a girlfriend who said she was a witch. She gave me some good advice that turned out to work, I'll leave it at that.

Holy shit I knew you were a novice too. Regular women are not witches lol There are actual witches out there.

This is clearly a novice answer. I'm going with the boys and seeing how life turns out with 2 witch girlfriends. What you're not considering @Inliytened1 is that the witches are on your side, they will teach you some magic too. You might be able to now get 15 regular girlfriends on top of your 2 witch girlfriends. Play chess not checkers Also obviously don't be a fool and date the first witch you see. You must make sure she is of stable mental health and doesn't seek to end humanity or enslave mankind. The question kind of takes care of that though, if she's your girlfriend she must at least like you somewhat otherwise what is she, a low self-esteem witch?

I think we should do some real science here and talk about high level concepts instead of getting lost in the weeds. What's better 3 regular girlfriends or 2 witch girlfriends?

I watched End Game with Thanos but I never was big into Marvel so I didn't really understand the plot. Studying it in depth is making me appreciate it so much better. It's the epitome of comic book writing, film adaptation and business strategy all put into one great masterpiece. Looking forward to watching more of the MCU and watching Doomsday in December! Who are your favorite Marvel characters and why? I like Spiderman and Tony Stark the best so far. Tony is a good guy billionaire and Spiderman is almost a regular guy just tryna help.

@Raze That's recency bias. Women have faced backlash from other women for commercializing and displaying their sexuality for over a century, long before woke discourse existed. Look at the public moral panic around early Hollywood screen sirens in the 1920s, pin-up models in the 1940s, or Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s. The outrage wasn't coming from modern progressive activists. It was driven by female peers and conservative women's leagues claiming they were degrading womanhood and setting terrible examples. The political rhetoric always morphs to fit the era, but the biological baseline stays the same. The crowd will always find a convenient moral justification to police an individual woman who converts high-tier sexual capital directly into unilateral leverage. Perhaps Sydney is getting a bit more outrage for her last promo shoot with American Eagle but I think the underlying psychological phenomena of women being more collectivist than men is a real documented phenomenon.

Fuck you got me right in the ego, if you put my authority in your points I can't really discredit it. I think you're onto something here. I think we can make it even better by moving #4 to #1, now we've got an optimized strategy! If you host a cool event #2 becomes a lot more nuanced and you can make the girls come directly to you. A lot of men's dating problems come from not offering much value to women. Guys should get some dating under their belts so they understand what they want and then work on themselves so they have a lot to offer. Then it becomes shooting fish in a barrel and women's selectiveness starts working in your favour as they ignore the losers to give you their attention instead. Sometimes a magician must reveal his secrets for the good of mankind

I don't know why he communicates this way on the forum. When we spoke on the phone, he came across far more thoughtful and grounded. It seems like he treats the forum as an outlet to impulsively vent and posture, which drags the quality of his communication down. When you step into a public leadership role on a platform dedicated to self-development, dropping to that level of communication does a disservice to the space IMO.

Lmao seems true That's a key insight to female and human nature as a whole. People really mostly care about what's good for them. Women are much more collective than men. Sydney Sweeney being a hot young actress using her sexuality to make money and build influence will piss a lot of women off whereas a woman that's getting ganged up on by the legal system will trigger their sympathy. Watch out for collective power, it's rarely in your favor if you see yourself as a high agency individual. Its also why this case is trending so far. Collective survival strategies are conflicting. Very few people are actually interested in psychiatry lol, it's a battle of groupthink.

I'm very excited for it. I'm rewatching all Avengers and other MCU movies to really appreciate the universe and the business model behind it. I'm working on my own media project so it's given me a new appreciation for how GOATs of the trade handle their work. The fact that the MCU has 40 movies in a coherent plot line is actually insane and for that they are well deserving of the $30+ billion that they've earned through their visual storytelling. I made a megathread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you're welcome to talk more about it on there!

I just rewatched Avengers 2012 to continue my Marvel deep dive. It's so fucking good I would easily rate it 8.5/10 Until you start writing plots and stories yourself, it's hard to appreciate how difficult it is to write a good story for all ages. They managed to make a plot about Gods and superheroes saving the world be not cringy. The writing is pretty top notch, usually these type of shows have really cringe lines or just weird cheezy tropes that ruin the 4th wall but they avoided it. I'm reminded in episode 1 of the Obi Wan show where mercenaries struggle to capture an 8 year old Leia Skywalker and you're instantly robbed of all feeling of danger and feeling that these are competent criminals and left wondering wtf you're doing with your life watching a kids show. The Avengers takes an even more ridiculous plot and through quality writing makes you forget that you're watching a Disney movie. I'll be writing a more in depth review in the Marvel thread and also my next reviews for the next MCU movies I'm watching. Next up on the list are Thor, Iron Man 3 and then finally Avengers : Age of Ultron!

That's the beauty of masculinity. Well focused, it performs much like a laser that's powerful enough to forge empires. Belligerent and uncalibrated, though, it's a dangerous inferno that you have to watch out for.

I think he has unmedicated ADHD and doesn't meditate. He doesn't seem to think much before he replies and says wild shit often. @something_else Makes sense in the scenario that AION has outlined though she's not coming over from Tinder. He's finally meeting her in person after talking to her online so going straight to shooting over your address is probably gonna be a bit jarring. @Monster Energy Thanks for the compliment, I'm not triggered though. I'm trying to make sense of what you're saying and give you the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise I think you're closer to belonging on an Incel forum over a consciousness and self-development based one.

My guy, you don't qualify to have any type of argument against me. You can barely post a few comments without saying some wildly uncalibrated shit. I think the best type of argument for you to have would be with a therapist. It will help you make sense of what's in your head and organize it in a productive way without posting some wild fantasy about kidnapping a female mod to get her to like you.

Novice reading skills. He didn't say the opportunity came up, he's wondering where to ask her to meet. I'm quite sure that asking to meet somewhere close to his place but not right there is a better move.

Just had a pretty huge breakthrough in terms of how I'm gonna develop the project. I've decided like 80% sure to make the first game a visual novel. It'll let me work on the worldbuilding of Legend of the Abyss which is my favorite thing to do while still developing a playable experience. The whole world conquest plot is a political thriller instead of being more of a mindless action story so I think it'll work beautifully as an multiple route investigative visual novel. I've written the outline of the campaign and when talking about it with Gemini it should take me about 1-2 months to have a playable version I can ship so my goal at the moment is to have a complete early access version I can put out on Steam in early December so I can have it commercially ready in time for the Steam Winter Sale. I called it the Sanguine Masquerade, stay tuned for more!

It's usually not a good move to invite a girl straight over unless you're a Tinder King and you've done it multiple times so you're smooth with it. Especially if you have rapport with her but no sexual tension, it's gonna feel uncalibrated to her like you don't care about the connection you've built and you just want a quick fuck. If downtown is 20 mins walking distance from your place then that's perfect, you can meet there, get a coffee/smoothie/bubble tea and walk in the direction of where you live and see how it goes. Otherwise it's also fine to meet somewhere decently far and just build attraction on the date, leave on a high note so she's left craving more so that next time she's down to come over and watch a movie and you seal the deal on the 2nd date.

You don't need to create weird hero fantasies where you rescue the damsel in distress for women to value your existence. That's already how life works. Most humans on earth are not doing great or even if they're managing they're bored out of their mind. Every day is a new opportunity to scale your power, influence, impact and thus increase your attractiveness to every woman on earth. Every day you don't do much is one more girl on my roster

Dope, feel free to DM me your pics or post them publicly if you're brave and I'll give you feedback! They want a man who has a life in the wider culture. Extroverted girls are generally more emotionally expressive and like to socialize. My dating strategy appeals to both because I'm a deep introvert but I host social events so I can take them out and have fun. If you bore them in conversation make sure you understand your culture and what's going on in the world. They usually have a width conversational style as opposed to more depth on one topic so be well versed in many topics. Your advantage over extroverted guys is they tend to lack depth so they are more fun initially but get boring medium to long term. If you can handle both, you'll be a top tier option for both extroverted and introverted women. @Monster Energy Horniness is good, you just have to transmute it to useful energy. Libido is the life force that gives us motivation to conquer our goals, our enemies and to bless our women with the spoils of victory!

I would love his in depth thoughts on human vs artificial intelligence. Since it's one of his most talked about topics it's a good synthesis of an esoteric spiritual topic and relevant business discussions. His forum replies are pretty shallow around it so I think with a long form format he would have some cool insights to share.

Clarity Act being voted on by the US Senate literally right now. Results should be tallied in the next 30 mins. Edit: It did not pass

Sure, doing fine is okay but why settle for that when you can optimize for greatness?

How many dates have you been on in the past 6 months? If you've only been on 2 or 3 dates and one person gave you that reaction, you're reaching a final conclusion when you just have too small of a sample size to know if you can really attract cool women at the stage of life you're at now. If you are pursuing different things but have not achieved success then women will be a lot more forgiving than if you're not doing anything in life nor care to make your life interesting. It seems that you do have hobbies. Women don't need a provider but you score bonus points for being able to fill that role for sure! Being a provider is not easy and it requires excellence in the marketplace which a lot of men will not reach. It's a good ideal to aim for but if you want dates in the next few months you don't need to have achieved it to find dating success.

He seems too caught up in the cold approach cult that RSD teaches. I really like that he gave himself a 7 day challenge to get laid though, even though I don't think it worked I hope that it taught him the difference between different game techniques. If he followed my tips on online dating I'm pretty sure he could've gotten laid last week.

@Olaf The week is over my brother. I don't think you achieved the goal right? There are of course still many lessons to be learned from a failed quest. What are your biggest takeaways from the week? I haven't followed the whole thread beyond my initial contribution and answering some questions but I assume you took massive action this week and learned a lot.
