Would you want to achieve something like that yourself? Don't give me the lazy answer you want a relationship more than sex. You can have sex with many attractive women and still look for and find an incredible relationship. It's a false dichotomy men on this forum often use for some reason. A lot of those women I met on dating apps that's why I started this exchange saying that I think your aversion to them is short sighted my friend.

No, it's building an incredible life. Having many amazing women being part of it both sexually and platonically as friends and associates is part of that of course.

Where do you see desperation? I like effectiveness and it's gotten me great results so I'm tripling down on it. I think your mindset and what you say in regards to dating are probably not effective so I'm curious if I'm wrong.

Got it. I asked you to elaborate and you seem unable to do so and your responses are always short and defensive it seems. What's up with that?

Trends are not the same thing as racism. I'm half black, my dad is fully black from Chad and so I'm a first generation immigrant. When I walk at night and a group of black dudes walk past me I feel more anxiety than if a group of woman walk past or if a group of asian men do it. Don't gaslight yourself into ignoring how reality is currently. It doesn't give you a open card to be racist and rude to people but avoiding reality is part of the reason stage green is so ineffective in the world because they use their feelings to invalidate reality. Doesn't work. It's a nuanced topic because stereotypes are not foolproof. The other way I was walking downtown and this white french chick with a group of dudes basically like swung at me randomly to impress her friends I guess? Sometimes life is just random lol

Got it so you're not interested in dating attractive women, you just like to chit chat with random people? I'm confused about your dating strategy and past experience my guy and you never seem to elaborate on it.

Your moral outrage is the thing that's disgusting. These trends that can be observed. Men and women have different psychologies and sociological strategies. They tend to be more collective than men. It apparently shows up in cases like this. Pointing this out is factual evidence. Being a triggered social justice warrior is anti-intellectual cringe. It's not about a culture war; it's about accurately understanding reality and making sure we don't fall for cognitive bias and cultural ideology that's not favourable to us as individuals. Falsely stereotyping people is a completely different phenomenon than reacting to what people are literally posting themselves and literal surveys that are coming out where women are backing her up over him because they relate more to the female experience than a random man. Women having a lack of empathy for men is a documented phenomenon. Men care more about women than women care about men. Plenty of hard data that backs this up. What you're doing is called benevolent sexism, it's also a documented phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambivalent_sexism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women-are-wonderful_effect There is a phenomenal book written on this topic by a woman called the Manipulated man. Clearly you should read it.

What kind of results would you say that's getting you?

North America is much more capitalistic than Europe. If you don't have a good social circle you will be barred from the nightlife environment that the attractive women go out to. Bottle service culture is big in most cities here. If you don't know a club promoter you have to pay $1500-3000 to get a table and bottles to host women. Yacht culture is big in the summer as well. That's part of why I like social circle game so much. You can meet the right guys to get you access to the right places and then host your own events. If you do only street cold approach then I'm sure Europe is 5x better yeah.

You should approach them yourself! Everyone should get a girlfriend, women are great. No the default coping mechanism of men when they have anxiety or no success is to blame the environment or the women. I was out with my friend in Calgary a few months ago in a very busy bar with dozens of beautiful women and he said man there are no girls here we should leave. I had to literally physically shake him and tell him bro you're coping and lying to yourself. Describe in words to me literally the beautiful woman you want and I will walk around this venue myself and find your type and you will approach her. It worked he realized he was lying to himself and just scared to talk to them.

You seem to have extremely fragile confidence and a sense of self that just collapsed when your arguments were pushed back on. Typical for sheltered religious men to have a weak mind because they are submissive to daddy religion. Pre-rationality in action in a nutshell. I pity you. To start flipping out and painting me as narcissist once again shows your lack of intellectual integrity. I feel like I'm arguing with a child. I'm done with you. Good luck in life little buddy.

Good for you bro, happy you're liking Madrid better. I gotta back up Toronto though as you're saying nonsense, where exactly were you hanging out? King street and queen street in downtown has hundreds of beautiful women walking at almost all times of day in the summer. Women in Toronto have very high standards and its a status oriented city though. I had good success but I was tight with club promoters that took me into their social circle so that helped. King Street in the weekends has so many girls you don't even need to get into a club to cold approach.

Do you want to be a victim? Masculine accountability is a good thing. Do you want the moral support of random people or do you want inner strength and the ability to build unlimited leverage and power? Nothing great comes from a victim mindset. Talk to Gemini it'll help you make sense of your breakup and set goals to build a better life. You can find some more hippie circles that will tolerate and welcome you crying about your feelings and being vulnerable but in my experience those people actually won't have any solutions for your problem and they lack strength of character and ambition so it's not a valuable crowd to hang around anyway. Be careful with people that validate your vulnerability; it's sort of a faustian bargain. That's my view at least.

It's normal to feel upset when someone makes better points than you. It shows a true lack of intellectual integrity and weak character as a man and human being though.

You seem that you're not that successful at dating and being stuck in outdated paradigms is not helping your case man. 40% of couples meet on dating apsp these days. Feel free to date however you want but being rigid like this is not gonna get you better results anytime soon. If you have a decent profile you can go on a date each week from dating apps. When I was in my serial dating days sometimes I would go on 2 dates a week. Hard to get these results elsewhere unless you're gonna dedicate your life to cold approach or being a club promoter.

I read a lot of posts where women were apparently feeling like she didn't deserve to be guilty and her husband at the time was more at fault? I understand the concept of empathy but this case is actually nuts. It's also a case of religious lunacy as her and her husband were Christians and she was relieved that her children were in heaven after she killed them. She met with a chaplain 200 times while in the hospital. https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateReligion/comments/1vuu1x7/the_belief_that_all_children_go_to_heaven_is/ https://abc7ny.com/post/lindsay-clancy-trial-day-17-psychologist-testifies-was-not-criminally-responsible-killing-3-children/19707934/ Also homeboy was married to her in 2023 when this happened and now he's already remarried, that seems a bit quick to me lol or am I the only one I think you're right but pleading insanity is not a get out of jail free card. They still get institutionalized for life. It's basically prison but a bit nicer and you talk to therapists more often.

If you sit on your hand for a while it feels like a stranger is helping you out when you crank one out. If you do it with both hands now you got 2 girlfriends already before you even get the dating app going. Play chess not checkers.

She wasn't pleasant and easy to work with even though you were footing the bills? Some people just don't have any appreciation for when they have it good.

I use dating apps here and there but it's not really my main focus at the moment. In Q1-2027 my cashflow situation should be solved so it'll start to be time for me to make dating a priority again.

Does she fit your goals and the optimal life you envision for yourself or you're just wanting to take the easy way out?

I think you're right. Seems like the US is selling their long bonds to inject liquidity into the market short term which is mostly what is causing the pump since it wrecked the shorters and they had to buy back so it increased the price by 20% in a week. Sounds like overall terrible economic policy that will indeed lead to a crash. These guys are not dumb though so probably some sort of scheme to make the corrupt admin some money and cause a massive market crash right around midterms. My new prediction is $30K USD Bitcoin by January 1st 2027. Let's see if I can do it again Sorry I'll go $45K USD the more I talk to Gemini about it the more it says it's gonna be most likely around there and $30K you would need a black swan event.

Sounds like a not fun situation either way! Well how do you want to be treated and how big is the difference between that and how you are treated? Also how you dependent are you on other people? If you are for example without a job and you have a family that's very nagging then the core problem is not really about if they're really treating you bad or not it's that you're stuck in a situation you don't wanna be in. If you are financially independent and emotionally independent through meditation and solving your trauma and codependency then it's much easier to literally only allow people into your life that you appreciate and make you feel good.

Do you believe in it or are you just excited to see numbers go up? I believe in financial education and perhaps investing some disposable income in crypto will pay off but it's 100% a speculative asset. Bro I started an investing brand and got girls to shoot content with me but that was 70% crypto bro stuff lol the more I study macroeconomics the more I realize I don't understand it as much as I should. I was trolling people with a realistic investment strategy not that long ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/DMOGgmnS5tN/?img_index=1 Be careful what you see on the Internet lmao My investment recommendations have to be heavily catered to the specific risk profile of the individual. If you wanna throw $500 in Bitcoin and hope it goes to $1M go ahead but it could just as easily go to $0. I believe mostly in leverage which just means getting more output than you put in and sure investing is one way to do that but business is gonna be a more reliable one. We should heavily discuss it because once again financial education is important but I would stick more with boring personal financial advice Dave Ramsey style than speculative investment. I talked a lot to Gemini about it and I realize my interest in Crypto is well genuine but a lot of it is driven by me wanting to leverage my intellect to avoid hard work. I don't recommend falling into that same mistake, I mostly have made money from Crypto but it was mostly luck, plenty of people smarter and more knowledgeable than me have lost money. I'm learning to have more responsibility with the power I have so if you want to learn how to meet women and build a social circle and shoot some media around that I have a pretty good track record with that and am probably the top authority on the forum by far in that regards. The downfall of Grant Cardone disappointed me and I'm trying to learn to get away from this always appearing certain and confident culture. It first of all doesn't work and collapses basically inevitably and also you should build competence in one main area and not deviate too much from your expertise otherwise you become a pseudo-intellectual very fast.

Interesting concept, I have unexplained phantom pains that could totally be caused by emotional blockages. Somatic symptoms are scary.

Cool that we get to see Drake's game up close He has a very smooth but confident type of game. Usually you picture rappers being more cocky but he's got that loverboy game The lingering handshake move as a test to see if they're really down seems to be working He's good at future projection and using the future possibility with the girl as part of game. Very powerful form of storytelling in game. He also says some dumb shit that weirds the girl out but he doesn't get in his head and he just keeps holding frame This is filmed in Toronto so you guys get to see the Toronto Cyattie archetype lmao, this is truly a local delicacy. It's the girls that dress super feminine but talk like a gangster. I'm a very logical person and I find contradictions fascinating so I love them a lot. Lily Phillips is pretty awkward lmao Small world I know one of the girls, one of the blondes For some reason everyone likes banging a dude's wife lmao LenaThePlug was one of his favorites He's super comfortable in himself and his sexuality and there is a more dominant type of girl that he submits to for a bit. I was surprised by that, usually high status dudes like their frame but that was cool to see. That was literally his top pick to wife up in the show; the big titty goth girl lmao uniqueness and personality won the day. He's apparently gonna buy her mom a house so that was a good youtube video for her to be in. Curious what you guys will think of this one, I enjoyed watching it quite a bit there's always something to learn from other men that are ahead of you in life I know the easy way out is to think there is nothing to learn from this and Drake is in another world but it's actually not true. Of course like he has it 99% easy NOW but he actually built himself intentionally and put a lot of effort into his personal brand which was not always great. He used to get roasted for being this awkward nerdy jewish kid from a nerdy TV show and not really the top of the world rapper we know today. Kendrick Lamar also roasted him pretty good last year and literally at the superbowl halftime with hundreds of million watching which has destroyed other artists's confidence many times before so he clearly has solid inner game which it shows in the video that he rolls with punches easily. Here is a good video that breaks down how he changed his aesthetic and brand over time
