Yes, you are stuck in your personal selfish biases. You are not seeing or caring about the female's survival agenda, instead pushing your own.
A woman needs a weak man as much as you need a dick in your mouth.
What I said does not preclude intimacy.
You are asking for feminine containment and then immediately asking for a gay friend. You can have one but not both.

Don't underestimate how selfish and careless more girls are. She isn't some saint. She's blindly following her own survival agenda. She will not give two fucks about flaking on you.
Yeah, well, it goes both ways. Hurt feelings come with the territory of dating. Most girls don't give a fuck if they step all over your survival agenda.
My personal rule is that there is no relationship until sex.
But you may feel otherwise. I set my rules based on my deep experience of what works and what does not.
Of course you can try doing it the other way and get some results, but it's not a good overall dating strategy.
Remember, that is HER frame. You can choose to play by her frame or set your own frame. Will setting your own frame lose you some girls? Sure, but it will get you many more others. As a general rule, the guy should be setting the frame, not the girl. At least from the guy's POV that makes the most sense. If you like being a pussy you can buy into her frame.
Ahahahahaha!
That's none of her business.
If she is asking this kind of question you already did something wrong.
From the moment she meets you she should realize that you are a high value guy who is highly social and desirable to many girls. She should feel that if she does not snap you up soon you will move on to other girls. She should feel like you could bang a new girl every night if you wanted to.
First cum, first served
Good!
No, she won't get hurt. She will desire you even more because she recognizes how attractive and high-value you are.
Attraction is highly counter-intuitive. You think that by being meek and humble and loyal and nice that this will make girls attracted to you, but it's the opposite. With that strategy you will lose many girls and mostly attract the weakest and lowest-value ones.
A girl's fantasy is to lock down a player/knight in shining armor who is a pussy magnet. Not some meek nice guy who will beg her for sex like a panhandler begs for nickles. Regardless of whatever bullshit story she tells you, she wants a high-value guy. Period. No amount of talking or excuses will change that. And the #1 clue of a high-value guy is that he can get laid any day he wants to.
One of the most attractive things you can do is to show up to a party with a bunch of hot girls at your side, orbiting around you like groupies. This will make you appear WAY more attractive to all the other girls, creating a feeding frenzy for your dick.
Deep down she wants to know that you could fuck any girl in the world, but you choose to only fuck her because she is so special to you. That is her ultimate fantasy.
If the particular girl you want is insecure, you can dial all this down a bit. But there is no shame at all for her to perceive you as sexually active. As a man, you don't need to hide the fact that you're a bit of a player. Don't explicitly say so. It should just be a vibe you give off. Girls will smell it.
Consider Brad Pitt. Every girl knows he can fuck whoever he wants whenever he wants -- and probably does so. And this is why every girl dreams of landing him.
If you want the most brutal truth, dating multiple women not only doesn't hurt your chances, it increases it, and the more women you date the higher your chances get. This is so true that it can get easily abused to sociopathic levels. PUAs abuse this principle all the time. I don't recommend you do that. I recommend you find a nice balance that does not crush girls hearts nor inflate your ego. You can be strong and assertive without being a total scumbag.

@ginger28 Nothing will get a girl to dump you faster than lack of leadership, indecisiveness, and insecurity, which forces her to be the leader.
Tisk, tisk.
You gotta get your shit together and take charge of the situation. You lead she follows.

No. Take her like you own her. But also seduce her with teasing and withholding. Make her crave you.

David Deida explains all this nicely to guys in his books.
Make her feel like a girl and she will love you.

The only solution I know is:
A) Psychedelics
B) Very rigorous week-long retreats where you meditate nonstop using something like labeling. It will be hell and you suck it up and do it.

Oddly, caffeine has no effect on me. I get no boost from it, nor any addiction or withdrawal.
Modafinil FTW!

No idea. Everyone reacts differently.
You are probably carrying around a bunch of lies, wounds, trauma, and egoic shit in your mind which the mushrooms are trying to surface.
As you purify your mind trips should get deeper and more blissful. But there can be a long purification process. It all depends on how dirty your mind is.
Or maybe you just have a negative physical reaction to mushrooms for some weird genetic reason. In which case you can try other psychedelics to see if they fit you better. Mushrooms are pretty squirrely.

@GreenLight Ultimately you're gonna have to do consciousness work on that anger.
Anger is often just a cloak for hurt.
If you are angry a lot, you must introspect deeply to discover the hurt inside you. Who deeply hurt you and why? And you will have to acknowledge this and heal/forgive that hurt. That is the real solution here. Not hitting bags or people.
Your anger is actually armor you created to keep yourself from feeling deep hurt. To take off that armor you will have to experience the hurt that you've been avoiding and denying. Allow yourself to feel hurt rather than posturing with anger.

I could shoot exactly the same video in which I show how ineffective conventional western medicine is.
At least 50% of western medicine is bullshit that masquerades as "science".

This is a path to devilry and we will not be doing that here.

The art of cosplay.

You are already living in a toxic, negative, victim fantasy every day.

You will still need game. Foreign girls will not come sit on your lap. You will still need to grow the balls to approach them.
Bottom line, if you gonna be a man, grow some balls.

To be creative, pick a small project and work on it.
Anxiety will arise. Deal with it. That's part of the work. As you immerse yourself in the creative work the anxiety will subside.
The hardest part is getting started.

Billionaires pull shallow women? Says who? Billionaires are pulling whoever they want, basically, and I tend to see them with quality women.
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos -- they aren't exactly dating bimbo supermodels or pornstars. They find wife-material ladies with some depth.
But basically, when you are a billionaire, you have enough value and leverage to find a woman optimized in all dimensions you care about.
Power and status are the ultimate game. If you want quality women, don't go to the club, become a multi-millionaire somebody and women will come to you. The wise hunter does not stalk rabbits one-by-one in the freezing cold, he lays a trap and rests easy by the cozy fire back home.

That's because the pundits get paid for writing articles, not for predicting markets.
Market prediction advice is the oldest grift on Wall Street. Don't fall for it. None of the "experts" know how to predict the market. Which is why they charge commission or sell you their advice instead.

You don't need to remember the details.
Underline every book as you read it, then you can quickly re-read a book within 20 mins just by reading the underlined parts -- if you need to refresh your memory. Underlining is crucial and it takes way less time than taking notes.

He's got something. Whether it is God-realization, I don't know. I can't stand listening to those Neo-Advaita types.

He ain't got shit.
You ain't got it until you realize you are God.

I don't know the laws in your country. But resisting arrest should not justify murder in my opinion. Such a defense is cheap. 
 

@John Iverson It's not accepted because it's mostly narcissistic. Pick-up generally appeals to guys who don't really want a connected relationship, who are just horny and want to get laid. It's mostly teaching guys how to be a used-car salesman to get into a woman's pants.
I'm not going to make moral judgements against it, I'm just calling it what it is, mostly. There are exceptions. If cold-approaching is authentic to you, you will find a way to make it work not just for yourself, but for all involved. If it isn't and you're doing it just to get laid, you will come across as a sleazebag.

"Definition of a new age person - someone who is generally ignorant of science and philosophy, but is happy to proclaim with certainty on the most difficult questions."

Devil is a tricky word. It can definitely be misunderstood by newbies. Must be careful with it.
But it's also a fun word, it's provocative -- which can be good as times -- and once you understand what a devil actually is (by watching my What Is The Devil video) then it becomes a very powerful concept for making sense of the world.
It's important for newbies reach a point in their development where they realize, "Holy shit! I really am a devil, aren't I?" That takes maturity and honesty to admit. People who are in denial that they are devils are the biggest devils. Admitting you're a devil is already to have solved half your problems. This is the chief reason why I like to call people devils. It forces them to confront the fact that the devil is not an external force but an internal one. The ego loves to see itself as a hero and an angel. So telling an ego that it's the devil is very shocking and destabilizing to it. It's like poking a hibernating bear in the eye with a pointy stick.
Of course an even deeper understanding comes when you realize that all devilry is actually love.
