@ColeMC01 To some degree yes. But in-person game is much more favorable to effort.
If you put in lots of effort hitting the streets and clubs you will attract some stunning girls. The same cannot be said with online.

I'll grant you height. That's part of looks.
The rest is BS.
How about this. We guys will ask you ladies to post your bra dimensions in your profile, and we will consider that to be not looks but a personality trait
That basically falls under LOOKS. You are looking at that in the pics. But it only matters if the guy is already attractive looking to begin with, otherwise jay jay goes dry.

The problem goes way deeper than that. The problem is in how your mind defines "evidence" and "proof". These are not simple notions, these notions are relative to one's metaphysical and epistemic paradigm.
The problem is that a materialistic paradigm does not have a robust and subtle enough notion of "evidence" and "proof" to accomodate paranormal phenomena, therefore it is blind to them and says they can't exist.
Color can't exist for one who super-glued his eyelids shut.

@Hugo Oliveira You should look into doing pickup more authentically rather than selling yourself. Reframe it more as socialization rather than trying to sell yourself. And enjoy the process.
The bottom line is that you cannot get laid unless you socialize somehow. How you do it is up to you.

Of course your defintion of maturity is subjective and relative.
The problem that academics and scientists have is that they do not admit the subjectivity and relativity of their own work. So they use that label "subjective" in a demeaning sense and apply it to everyone but themselves. Which is the chief delusion.
Do not expect scientists or academics to understand or acknowledge such things because they have thoroughly brainwashed themselves as a prerequisite of success in their profression.
You can't get a man to understamd a thing when his job depends on him not understanding it.
Relative is the concept you're looking for here, not subjective. Human standards of beautiful people are still totally relative to culture and human biology. A dog does not find a super model beautiful.
If we changed your genetics and culture what you find beautiful would radically change.
And then there is the absolute perspective which is that everything in the Universe is infinitely beautiful. Which is Absolute Truth. But most people are too self-biased to see it.
You see, the human or animal mind is simply selecting a narrow, self-biased slice of Infinite Beauty that serves its survival. Ta-da!

Yes, it's a self-reinforcing reality bubble that the mind constructs and maintains. Structurally no different than religion or a conspiracy theory. They're all constructed reality bubbles.

To be honest... creativity just doesn’t pay. I mean for the very select few that are able to be rewarded for their creativity sure it pays but for every one of them there are a hundred that aren’t. It’s basically a requirement if you have any hope of amassing any sort of wealth in modern society that you invest in the stock market. If you are well educated and on a salary between 10k - 100k you basically have to invest in the stock market if you want to have a decent amount of savings.

So, I was in a long-distance relationship with a woman who treated me like shit. I let her treat me like that, cause I was too blind in love with her. Call it fantasy, love whatever. When i told her about how I felt bad because of her. She was in denial and told me to stay away from her.  I deleted her number and unfollowed her on Insta. I've never been taken seriously by women. It always ends up in a mess when I tell them how I feel. 
I started liking this another girl, i was simply texting, and she calls me rude. She pulled away. I was like- Tf just happened? It's been three days, I haven't texted her, nor seen her stories or liked her post. After this many years, I have learnt, that if a woman pulls away, let her go. It will always be worse when i try to convince her or tell her I am sorry. It has never worked. I know from experience. 
So, the fairy tale idea of the one girl who will truly love me, is kinda dead. I hate to play these mind games. I am growing more detached, which is far better than super needy like i was. I'll never look at women like angels anymore. I won't make generalizations cause I don't want to demean anyone here. The games we play while being in survival mode. I feel like romantic attraction is kinda shallow. I can see through my own attraction as well- I don't see beyond looks: The visuals. 
Help me understand, how can there be a true relationship, when both sexes will always be attracted to attractive people of the opposite gender, and sometimes, even cheat?  
 
 

@d0ornokey Check how you are finding these girls. If you are attracting unloving girls, there's something weird in your way of attracting them. Diversify your source and be mindful of how you're rejecting loving girls. You can also develop screening questions to screen out unloving girls.
SCREEN your girls before you sleep with them! Say NO to girls who don't fit your standards. Have high standards. Cure your neediness. Set boundaries.

Yes, and that is what creates wage slavery.
When you earn money from doing nothing you steal that money from the people who do the work.
You call it "just investing" when really it is exploitation. You just are not honest with yourself about what you're doing because it does not benefit you to be honest about it otherwise you'd have to stop doing. So the key for you is exploit others while thinking you are a good guy.

@Rinne Pretty much all stock investing is leeching, even if you are doing long-term investment.
Just ask yourself, what work are you doing to add genuine creative value to the world? And you will quickly see where you are a leech.
Even when you invest into a 401k for retirement, you are still fundamentally a leech. You expect others to work for you for nothing.

@Mythos Stocktrading is not a replacement for a job/career.
To get a job you need marketable skills. The problem is not the economy. The problem is your lack of skills. If you were well-skilled you would be hired quickly no matter what the economy.

And, as I said all along, daytraders are not your friend:
You guys are too easily hyped. Learn this lesson for the future.
In the future, expect Wall Street to hijack social justice movements to make mad money. That's what you invite them to do when you act like a mindless herd animal.
And the only difference between hedge fund managers and daytraders is the amount of money they have.

Cancel Culture: when conservatives would stone homosexuals, blacklist socialists, do witch burnings, torture heretics, and demonize all other cultures but their own.

I realized that I was addicted to self help when I realized that most of my interests revolve around it and that I tend to base my self worth on how conscious I am being. Part of me was attracted to self help because I genuinely wanted to be the best I could be but I would be lying if I said that this is the only thing that drew me to it. Another part of me was attracted to self help because I think that there is something inherently wrong with me and that I need to make up for lost time because I have all of this potential that I haven't tapped into yet. While this addiction has helped me grow a lot as a person, I'm starting to see the limitations of it for me personally. I also realize that getting over self help is also a form of self help since I'm working through an addiction I have. It's a paradox lol.
But yeah, how do I deal with this?  

Lol
You don't get it.
YOU are all there is. There is no discontinuity in Spira's consciousness because YOU are conscious!
For fuck's sake. Your conscious is Absolute and there is no other.
You guys are arguing pure delusion. All your arguments are wrong. They are not even within the same plane as Truth.

No, I think it's just a matter of social evolution.
The culture has shifted up since 2008. The Overton window has shifted. People get more liberal as society evolves -- even despite MAGA. Conservatives are usually fighting a losing battle. Every liberal president who is elected pushes the envelop forward a bit. Which is why progressives need to calm the fuck down and be patient. It's not going to happen overnight.
8 years of Biden/Kamala will move us considerably forward even if they are neoliberals.

@Striving for more I think I told you on a different post already.
Rsd inner circle on facebook. Its a group to find wings. I found people on RSD inner circle Barcelona. You look up any big cities near you and you should get into the group on Facebook, Whatsapp or Telegram
 
 

When I experience people with really cleaned up mind and psyche I feel so nice in their presence despite them not really being woke. It's amazing, really. I'd even say they are actually quite woke but in their own way. Just more of a secular definition of woke ness
Healthy psyches = Healthy beings
I feel we just need more holistically healthy people in general and the world will already turn into much better and much more woke place for anyone

It is a shame the RSD forum was shut down. That place had some golden gems amidst a sea of toxic things too.
One of the coolest things about it was that you could use it to find wings in any city in the world.
You could just be like, "Hey, I'm going to Vegas for the weekend. Who will wing me?" and you'd find at least a few guys. I found some good wings that way.

Jim Newman apparently still has anger arising caused by bad drivers, Sam can abide in non-duality 'when he remembers' and sees anger as impossible then.
1h40min of pure delight 
This chat was the most useful to get Jim Newman's non-message, compared to any other talks or interviews I've seen of Jim.

Yeah....
That ain't how a straight male's mind works. When I look at porn, I don't even see the guy.
You definitely got some queerness going on. Time for you to get honest with yourself and figure out what the hell you want sexually/romantically.

Plenty of people develop no-mind but are still dogmatic.
The problem is that an empty mind does not guarantee that when your mind starts turning it doesn't turn out shit.
Emptying your goldfish's bowl does not guarantee him what he really needs, which is clean water.
The opposite of dirty water is not no water, it is clean water.

Well, the good news is that most of them lose money already, so justice is served
