Thank you for your existence and energy! Femininity is always appreciated. I think Socrates also said this one or maybe it was Aristotle, hard to be sure.

Natural doesn't work for non naturals otherwise they'd get laid well naturally. You need a simple system to track your efforts and growth so you can guarantee results over time. Overthinking happens when you think too much before the approach so you never get into the flow of it. A system is made to debrief only after approaches to know what went right or wrong. I talk more about it in this video here

Counting your approach is important so you can know if it works or not and change your style if it's not producing the results you want. Building systems for both your dating life, career and life as a whole is very important so you can scale and get results that the average man can only dream of. Cold approach is a hard skill to learn but it works. I've had sex multiple times with women I knew less than a few hours from it. It's sometimes awkward, sometimes boring and sometimes you hook them into you and start a romance or a sexcape right from the street, the mall or the club that you met them at. One of the wildest cold approach stories I have is during Covid I was living in Harbourfront Toronto and nothing was open so me and my roommates would walk around throughout the summer and well cold approach girls mostly. One day we were bored at this big square called Dundas Square in the city and we were about to walk back home and he had the energy to approach one more girl. It worked and he came back and introduced her to me and we went to the liquor store and got some wine and drank it walking back home with this new friend we got. As we walked back to our place we went back to my room and he started making out with her and I was sitting down and I almost left to give them some privacy but she was grabbing my leg too so I made out with her as well. Lead to both of taking turns fucking her while listening to some good music and drinking some truly foul wine. The one you get for like $15 that comes in a crate not a bottle. All from cold approaching a girl bored in downtown.

Debates about sex remind you of mac and cheese? You're a kinky one that's for sure

@AerisVahnEphelia Between 1978 and 2020 China has lifted 800 million out of poverty which was 75% of the upward mobility from poverty that mankind as a whole has made. I'm extremely impressed with how China run their country especially in the last 5 years when the west has devolved into a clown show. Chine was fear mongered for authoritarianism and centralized power but looks like their system works better than western liberalism and the west has just as much corruption if not more. In an ideal world you could have pure freedom and pure progress but in our world that seems quite difficult to achieve. I don't doubt that will be at the forefront of what humanity will achieve over the next 15 years and throughout the AI revolution as a whole. You're invested? I was a big fan of Crypto but the more I age and the more I talk to Gemini about it the more I realize some enthusiasm is valid but a lot of it is speculation for the sake of avoiding producing actual value through your own commerce or career. I still study macroeconomics and I'm curious how it will move over the next 6 months but I'm much more dialed in to my own business now instead of hoping that by studying 200 hours of crypto theory I can 100x my money.

Why don't you try creating a circle of high quality people where you are? You seem to be good at meeting people, so the organization seems to be the part that you struggle with. What are you into in terms of hobbies? What skills do you have? If you create regular meetups where you are in 6-12 months you'll now know many women that you can choose to date/sleep with if they're down.

Do you control a relationship to get your needs met at the expense of your partner or do you do it to guide both of you towards achieving your needs and wildest desires? I think that's the crucial difference in paradigms. High level of interdependence in a relationship can mostly only be achieved through healing your shadow and achieving great self-awareness. From this vantage point then your leadership becomes a transformative experience for others in your life as opposed to just the blind leading the blind.

Are you into choreography at all? These days you can create an AI avatar that reproduces your moves pretty easily and you could create a virtual dance school with different AI influencers as your content creation funnels. That's where my mind goes

@Natasha Tori Maru You haven't answered the question. If you've never slept with a girl then you can use a man for the example.

Yes 100%. That's why I want to experience a superhuman level of romance and take myself and multiple women on an adventure of the century. Just hanging out with one girl is very boring to me it's not that romantic. I like bonnie and clyde me and you against the world baby and we're winning and there's also many women in the story and we're doing cool projects, travelling the world and affecting human history. That would be a cool romance story even after I die I would be like wow that was an insane life how do I even top that one even with infinite lives that would be hard.

Beheading was a nice way to go. Have you watched Shogun? I just started and episode 1 they boil a dude alive lmao, apparently that was a real thing and took hours. That wasn't even the worst thing that happened this episode its a crazy show idk why I haven't done it before. There is a guy that gets heated in a tense argument(not a forum debate) and then has to commit seppaku and also unalive his son to end his bloodline for his insolence. If me and anyone on this forum ever enter mortal combat let's just leave boiling out of it alright as a truce towards universal consciousness expansion.

The 16th century wasn't just male dominance; it was institutional transactionalism. Marriage and intimacy weren't about personal fulfillment or attraction—they were strictly cold economic and geopolitical contracts. It was an era of powerful female monarchs like Elizabeth I, Catherine de' Medici, and Mary Queen of Scots running European geopolitics. Because there were no modern civil institutions to protect individual sovereignty, both men and women were treated as livestock by ruling families to secure land, titles, and military alliances. If a noblewoman or nobleman stepped outside those contractual bounds for love or lust, the fallout wasn't just social awkwardness; it was execution, imprisonment, or family ruin. We live in the first era in human history where sexual autonomy is disconnected from state survival and dynastic land deals. It allows for free market dynamics that were not possible before. For example women owning their own sexuality and being able to sell it. Same with a dude being able to choose the career path he wants instead of it being imposed on him.

Proof of what?

A lot of guys giving up on their social life when they get a girlfriend cuz what they really wanted is easy validation but that's actually the best time to build capital and legacy. Most rich men are married because it puts a hamper on their lust and they can use their energy towards scaling their career and business. Which is why I like social media so much because you can level up your SMV by just improving your personal brand and it'll work both single and in a relationship so if you do get into a relationship that doesn't work out you can be more in demand than ever without ever disrespecting your woman while in the relationship.

100% There is a swing of the pendulum back to puritanism going on these days cuz I think culture went too far towards liberalism with its champion Bonnie Blue lol but in general people underestimated the sexual shame that was brutally enforced throughout history. Being able to love and fuck freely is not a God given right it's a blessing of the modern era and a bastion of human rights and progress. Also loops back to Feminism and a lot of men being against it these days but women being able free to date who they want allows us by mirror to date any woman we want and many of them at the same time too.

16th century disgruntled knight is a very accurate phrase to use because around the 16th century knights were pretty much all disgruntled and quit being a knight to become a musketeer in a standing army since plate armor lost its effectiveness around that time due to gunpowder. Also around that time single women were very dangerous to sleep with as they could murder you in your sleep if you were rich or plot against you so it was a bad time to be a PUA. I read the book on Casanova, he was the son of an actor turned into homeless traveler so he slept with women in different cities but didn't stick around to live through the chaos. It caught up to him a couple of times and he went to jail on a few occasions. I'm studying this time period for my game, it's an interesting time period to portray but would be terrible to live in. The best time in history to fuck or live is for sure today.

You're not intimately tuned into the forum enough, if you're really conscious your spiral dynamics stage starts showing up over your menu buttons.

@something_else Yes, I agree.

Most of the forum is stage green. Stage green has a stage orange shadow. I find stage green dislikes quantification as a concept. They don't like when we talk about the burden of competence it takes to have results in society or just discussing concepts like sex, power and money directly because that leads to inadvertently creating a scoreboard. You did give them an easy layup with some unhinged comments though. We can talk about sex and having high standards for one's life without being offensive. That's what emotional control entails in a debate, not getting triggered and stooping to someone's level and starting to lose your status by saying strange stuff.

@Inliytened1 is not a bad guy, he just shows a lack of calibration. The objections raised towards some of his language are valid but his aim in starting this thread are as well. I do think in general people on this forum are not comfortable with sexuality and us discussing it is adding value to the community. We are all on the same side and should just be looking to have the highest level discourse possible to elevate both the board and our individual lives.

Sure but joining in times of conflict to protect your people and joining the armed forces because you don't have another career choice or want the perks it comes with and making your life purpose being an armed man that solves problems with lethal force is not a moral way to live your life in my opinion. You can make money and contribute to your community and country in other ways.

No a national guard and border patrol fulfill functionally different role than an army infantry in a country's protection. Offensive and defensive warfare I think should be understood differently if we're gonna talk about what is noble and what is foolish in terms of joined the armed forces of your nation.

You can have some positive feelings towards someone while questioning their life choices. Beta Infantry will not accomplish much in life and probably get killed in the process and kill other people and possibly innocent civilians. It's not exactly a stellar career choice. @Yimpa 3 + 4 +1 is only 8. You need to increase your standards and add at least a 2 to your polycule to be dating a 10!

Leveraging personal information as a peer pressure tactic? He quoted a user who is is flailing out of control not being sure of his own points; I don't think quoting him makes someone utilizing a peer pressure tactic lmao. Can we tone down the performative moral panic on this thread at least by 30%, it makes productive conversation quite difficult.

What do you mean by respect? I think it's brave what they're doing and I hope they don't die in the process. I think it's also stupid and they can use their life for better purposes than shooting at the bad guys that their political elites tell them to kill.
