Half-Sex??
Half-Sex??Anywhere private and secure.
Who the fuck knows. She probably wanted you to fuck her by that point. You half-assed it by failing to account for logistics.
Logistics is what costs you 90% of your lay count. If you want to get laid become a master of handling logistics.

Half-Sex??
Half-Sex??Fun story for ya:
One time in Vegas I met a local girl at the club who was DTF. She was real excited, so we drove to her house. We started making out on her couch but I had to take a shit real bad. So I went to take a shit. By the time I got out, 5 mins later, the mood was spoiled, it was getting late, she lost interest and kicked me out. Never called me back.
Moral of the story: Take a shit before you go out to the club.
The devil is in the details.

Spiral dynamics stages in women, stage orange and relationships, etc.
Spiral dynamics stages in women, stage orange and relationships, etc.It seems to me Leo and the founders of spiral dynamics have (ironically) once again left out some of the more feminine manifestations of the stages... I want to hear what you think - especially girls.
I'm convinced an overlooked facet of orange is serial monogamy, soap-opera style drama and the whole fairytale "romantic love" ideal. Leo said orange doesn't believe in love or care about emotion, and he gave us the stereotypical pick-up guy who treats sex as an achievement picture for orange relationships, but hey - some girls also go screw a lot of guys, but most have other patterns. Like trying to find THE ONE who can make her feel love and be happy.
My take on spiral dynamics and relationships
tl;dr: There's plenty of orange relationships which are not empty of romance but where people still treat each other as a means to an end.
IMHO all stages are capable of having some compassion for their nearest and dearest, of pair-bonding or being non-monogamous etc.
Blue will place restrictions on relationships to comply with the group's structure. Monogamous marriage, as an institution, is the ideological child of blue, designed partly to protect property and inheritance. I'm not saying monogamous people today can't be further in their development, however, the structure they adopt is one that has served as the religious one-true-way and a social obligation. That's quite clear.
Orange, IMHO, breads the romantic love ideal - only you choose the best partner for you. Think about it, marriage based on love and choosing your loved one yourself actually becomes popular around the same time as capitalism does.
It also gives rise to serial monogamy. Now the individual is more important than the relationship (structure), so “moving on when a relationship no longer suits you” is celebrated sometimes as the right thing to do. So what you get is people just dating and sleeping around, but also relationships which were born from the belief in one true love ... ending in bitter divorce after a few years when the new and exciting vanishes and people failed to develop deep intimacy.
In orange you may have the guy who judges women on their looks and the girl who is attracted to money and power and the teenage girl who worships a pop-star, but also the woman who reads romantic fiction and is looking for "true love" - where loving her is of course measured by her personal standards of behaviour. "If he truly loved her, he would/wouldn't..." Heck, we don't even have to read romantic fiction to buy into this set of beliefs, it's everywhere in the pop-culture starting with fairy-tales (purple?), and encompassing fantasy literature and romantic movies (orange/green).
Notice how this perception of love is equally objectifying to man as the "male gaze" to women - the man here also becomes a means to an end, he's the one to provide the love I want, to bring my "happily ever after", the one to earn money and care for family and give me sex, cuddles, flowers and dates, and the one who's to blame if I'm not feeling the love I expect from a relationship. What he's NOT, unless in love, is a fascinating being of his own to connect with - hence sometimes marriages of mostly stage orange people turn into a fight for influence and "whose way is the right way" after the initial infatuation wears off. And then people say "he/she wasn't right for me".
At orange, we also get narcissism as a couple, the "two against the world", where people manage to get absorbed with each other and just merge into codependence without having any helpful impact on the world as a unit.
Orange also has a tolerance or even looks for, drama. After all, the emotions you suppress in your work-life have to come out somewhere. Hence conflicts with your spouse, and hence soap-opera and gossip.
There are also guys who buy into the romantic love ideal. A lot of them. Guys also want love and know they want love, not everyone is completely cut off from their emotion at orange.
IMHO for women, the transition into green in relationships is not necessarily about starting to focus on emotion and believe in "love" - though the word certainly gets a redefinition - but rather realizing that participation has to be truly voluntary and you can't change your lover. Only from that realization people can find an appreciation for true connection and start to base their relationships at that quality.
Green development in relationships is imho finding true intimacy. Also, grasping how love comes from inside, not from the person you're in relationship with. Sometimes you do that with your spouse, sometimes you skew a bit more communal even in your love life. Green is also about going global with your empathy and applying the loving-kindness you've learned in your personal relationships to the whole world.
As an aside, polyamory in my view is a funny blend of green and orange values. The ideology of abundant love must be an ideal of green, as are more communal forms of poly. Also the emphasis on processing feelings, everyone being heard and valued etc.
However for most people, I the main motivations are more individualistic. Personal freedom to pursue your attractions. Sexual variety. Not being bound by any convention. Needless to say, orange polyamory not heavily tempered by green compassion doesn't work that great. But living the "green" ideas also seems difficult for most people. It could be we are simply not there yet, or it could be an example of a green ideal which is not that easily brought into practice.
I wonder what yellow relationships are like. Maybe the dilemma between monogamy and non-monogamy proves itself false somehow?
Well, if you've read all that, thanks for your time and please tell me if I'm getting some interesting points right or if I'm re-inventing my own spiral

If everything is love then why is there suffering?
If everything is love then why is there suffering?Survival has nothing to do with Truth.
You can crank up the horror as much as you want, but it doesn't change Truth, it just makes it harder to see.
Just because I torture you and force you to say that 1+1=3 does not change the truth.

If everything is love then why is there suffering?
If everything is love then why is there suffering?I agree with this but only conceptually, I am a middle-upper class white male that works from his own home and doesn't need to interact the all the idiocy outside, I can just put zen music and relax anytime I want without any disturbance.
I cant imagine the horrors of being an atheist LGBT living in poverty ridden middle east, nor I can imagine telling such a person "oh you just have to realize its all love, lol".

Are psychedelics a Complete Path?
Are psychedelics a Complete Path?He's full of shit.
He has no idea what God is.
God is not something you identify with. You're God right fucking now. There is only you. You are imaging Frank Yang and all his enlightenment stories in order to keep yourself asleep. You are imagining absolutely everything and everyone. You are creating imaginary arguments in order to keep yourself asleep.
There is no enlightenment. There is only YOU, only God.
Every time you listen to a human you are fooling yourself. There are no humans. It's all something you made up to fool yourself. There is no Buddha, there is no Christ. It's all bullshit. No Buddhist is God-realized.
Stop listening to idiots on YouTube. Cut the shit and Awaken. Or keep playing games.

My day of approaches
My day of approaches@Illusory Self
Dude you already get dates. The whole point of approaching girls is to get dates and you do not need to do that. Consider yourself lucky you do not have to go through that shit. Most guys would kill if they could do that. You just need more dating experience. You really think approaching is any easier? It is actually MUCH harder than a date. On a date the girl already has decided she would have sex with you, all you need is to not screw it up.
Just try to get more experience. Also if you are as good looking to be able to get online dates with hotties then you do not even need to approach much. Girls will give you indicators of interests and you can just talk to them and they will be super receptive. Or just be social, meet people and girls will try to get your attention and even can ask you out (or say yes fast if you suggest it).
Getting laid for you is really really easy compared to most guys, use your gift well and stud hard.
Now if you want to approach as a self deveopment mission then definetly do so. It really improves your social skills and is an emotional workout (just like gym is a body workout). There are definetly things to be learned. Yesterday i did a solo night out and boy was it hard haha (rewarding too kinda). So if you want to do that then i would encourage you to. HOWEVER, it is NOT necessary for you to get laid. See it as a self improvment thing rather than a "get sex" thing.
Wish you the best.

Something I don't understand about God
Something I don't understand about GodYou can't accept something that you're not conscious of.
The point isn't to accept my words, but you go raise your consciousness to experience what is being talked about.
It's way too radical for words.

If everything is love then why is there suffering?
If everything is love then why is there suffering?Because you aren't conscious that everything is love.

"My Descent into the Alt-Right Pipeline" Good video on internet radicalisation.
"My Descent into the Alt-Right Pipeline" Good video on internet radicalisation.Stefan is mistaking genetics with terrible economic inequality and culture.
The IQ difference between whites and blacks is not a genetic problem, it's a social, political, and economic problem. If blacks were not economically and culturally oppressed, their IQ scores would rise by at least as much as their IQ difference between whites and blacks.
The IQ is a very poor measure. IQ tests are culturally biased and they do not accurately measure intelligence, nor is intelligence or IQ a fixed genetic trait like eye color.
You cannot change your eye color but you can change your intelligence.
The solution is to provide blacks and everyone else in the country with free high quality education. Then human intelligence will shoot through the roof.
It is ironic that people who cite the IQ test are themselves not exhibiting any great intelligence.

My day of approaches
My day of approachesI guess my problem comes from a complete lack of social skills with women & these dating "gurus" trying to overwhelm you with to much information. The best way is to just approach right? I hope my social skills will just improve with approaching more. It sucks being starved from sex, Especially when you are good looking. I'm only 25 so I have time.

Leo's Quantum Physics video is wrong (as well as others)
Leo's Quantum Physics video is wrong (as well as others)Professor Dave? Lol
This dude has no clue what science is.
Mysticism does not need QM to prove itself. QM just nicely shows that the foundations of science are a scam.

Leo's Quantum Physics video is wrong (as well as others)
Leo's Quantum Physics video is wrong (as well as others)Stop assuming that. He knows the dogma of science. But he does not know what science IS.
It doesn't matter how many PhDs he has, he would still not understand what science is.
There is not a single scientist in any university anywhere in the world who knows what science actually is.
No scientist is God-realized. If you realized you were God, you would stop doing science because science is stupid compared to Infinite Consciousness.
Because you are God constructing reality. There is no reality outside your imagination, therefore what you see and think is the only reality there is.

You can even get addicted to suffering, fear, paranoia, and skepticism.
There is no limit to how twisted your mind can get, if you allow it to.

Psychedelics are actually ridiculously easy to source, if you would but just do some research and stop being lazy.

My day of approaches
My day of approachesYou can flip this on its head by saying, "Don't worry, I've only said this to 100 girls today."
If you're gonna be a player, you gotta own it. This will actually create attraction. Hot girls don't care if you're a player, they get attracted even more.
It's all about your vibe though. You have to fully own it and be comfortable with it.
What the girl is actually getting attracted to is not your words but your congruence and strength. The less of a pussy you are, the more attracted she will get.

Legalization of Psychedelics seems like the only solution
Legalization of Psychedelics seems like the only solutionIt's not just that psychedelics need to be legalized, even more importantly we need to build out an entire culture, education system, and support system for how to use these substances for deep spiritual work in a grounded, non-dogmatic way.
A lot of theoretical foundation-building is needed within psychology, philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, and spirituality. All of this theory needs to be part of a serious education program. But that will take generations to gain traction. Actualized.org theory is that foundation. Ideally you spend 5 years learning all the basic theory, reading books, contemplating, etc. THEN you start tripping.
There could be a certificate that one gets that allows one to become a psychonaut. Sort of like passing a driving test at the DMV. Of course it's gonna be hell to get people to agree on what such a certificate program would have to contain. It will be endlessly political because it is so threatening to the ego-mind.

Should I give approval to girls?

Lost my fucking mind
Lost my fucking mindI fell into the same trap at 16-19. Like @Leo Gura says, having your survival needs met and grounding yourself before going into deeper spiritual territory is really important. I was in quite a bad spot before I decided to let go of enlightenment for a while. Since then, working on my mental health and working on becoming a happy and functional human first has made my life a lot better.
Don’t underestimate the amount of joy you can already create by having things like LP, relationships, etc. figured out.

25 and a virgin, much needed advice,
25 and a virgin, much needed advice,I never drank once with going out 100s of nights.
I don't enjoy going out or partying. I did it as a personal development project. If it was up to me I would barely talk to humans. I could live on a deserted island and be happy.
Well, the fact is, the finite human self is a total fiction. It was never real.
So is it possible to be self-less? YES! It's the only truthful option. Everything else is a lie.
Will it be easy for you to surrender your self? Fuck no! That's the last thing on Earth you'll do.

25 and a virgin, much needed advice,
25 and a virgin, much needed advice,It's okay. You are still very young, your whole life is ahead of you. All you need to do is make some effort to go out and socialize with girls.
You do not need houses, cars, or money to socialize with girls and have sex.
If I were you I would seriously consider relocating to a city with a great, busy nightlife, so you can go out every weekend to bars and clubs where the hot girls are. That's all you're missing. You don't need anything special to attract girls.
But stop procrastinating and making excuses. Actually decide to take some serious action.
When I started socializing with girls I was older than you. So age is not the problem here.

What does it mean to say “the ego has no control”
What does it mean to say “the ego has no control”Imagine if we programmed Mario to say to himself in a video game "I'm in control, I'm in control, I'm in control" until he started to really believe it.
Is Mario actually in control of the game?

Leo Gura PUA
Leo Gura PUAIt's important to distinguish attraction vs dating vs relationship.
These are distinct phases. What I'm talking about here is mostly the first phase: attraction, without which nothing else is possible.
Once the relationship begins for real (after a few times of sex), then things change.
I recommend all guys practice what I call Conscious Relationship. Which is a huge topic which I won't explain here. Suffice it to say, you ladies would love it. It's everything you want out of a relationship and much more. It's the thing you wish pickup was because you're not concerned about the attraction phase much.
I am by no means only about attraction and anti-relationship. I think there's lots of value in intimate relationship. But before we get there, we gotta bang There's a certain order of operations to the mating game.
