@ValiantSalvatore You can land a gf from online, but it's gonna hinge on your pics.
Online it doesn't really matter what you write as long as you're not creepy or needy.
You're never going to convince a girl to fuck you with clever text messages. She has to want to fuck you first based off your pics.

You CANNOT convince women to sleep with you. It will never work.
Online game is all about your pictures. Nothing you write or say matters.
Stop doing online game and start doing real-life game. That's where you can run serious game.

@kamill Videos and courses will be much better than books for this purpose.
Better yet, consider hiring a dating coach or taking a bootcamp. Getting good a dating is extremely hands-on. You cannot learn it as a theory. None of the theory translates into real life. You need massive field experience.
50 parts experience to 1 part theory. Otherwise no results.
For cold approach to work you need to be doing 100s of approaches each month. At least until you develop some skill. Then you can ease up.

The solution is obvious and simple, but not easy: Go out and socialize 3-4 times per week and approach 1000s of girls.
This process will force you out of your logical mind.
You are not going to solve this problem by sitting at home thinking about it. Nor will you just "let it go". You need to retrain how your whole mind operates in social situations. And the only way to do that is to throw yourself into hundreds and thousands of social situations consistently until your mind is forced to change.
Check out Owen Cook's channel on YT. His whole channel is about how to do this.

So what? Approach another 10-20 girls and you will hit state.
It doesn't matter what your approach is. It can be a horrible approach, it will still build state if you do enough of them in a row.
In fact, the horrible, cringy approaches tend to build state the best as long as you keep doing them. Because you realize a horrible approach is no big deal, and your mind relaxes.

@Whitesnow I understand how frustrated and bitter you must feel.
But the whole game of life is to learn to love yourself despite all your limitations.
Naturally good-looking people have no idea how easy they have it. They will never understand.
Your solution is either to kill yourself or to learn to love yourself. Life is brutal in this regard. I suggest you do the latter. Psychedelics can be very helpful for discovering a profound Self-Love.

A) Only a handful of people are suicidal here.
B) This is a psychology-related forum that deals with people's emotional challenges in life. Of course there will be suicidal people here. It couldn't be otherwise.
It's like asking a doctor why there are people with horrible diseases in his office.

If you just want to socialize, day game is a poor choice because volume of people is low and they are all busy doing stuff so they will not stand around just chatting with you. Day game is good for direct approaches and getting phone numbers.
If you want serious socialization practice then bars would be ideal.
If you approach a girl during the day, you need to be hitting on her directly. You're not there to chit-chat.
If you want the easiest way to practice socializing, go to a mall and socialize with all the clerks. Don't hit on them, just try to see how long you can keep a friendly conversation going. Go during the slow part of the day where they have nothing to do but talk to you.

I have no serious criticisms of him. He knows his shit.
He doesn't deny love. He talks quite a bit about Eros (his term of Love), and he says that the driving force behind all evolution is love. Which is correct in my view, although even that doesn't go far enough to underscore the importance of Love in all of Creation.
He might not be as explicit about Infinite Love as I am, equating Love & Truth. But that's probably because he has not accessed some of the deepest insights I have accessed via psychedelics.
I think his understanding of reality would be deeper if he went deeply into psychedelics. But oh well. It's good enough. You can only ask so much of a guy. He has done several life-times-worth of amazing work.
Ken is one of the greatest Western philosophers and intellectuals who has ever lived. We are lucky to be alive alongside him. It's sad that his health as deteriorated so quickly.

Yes, threat can certainly require a regression to address it.
But also, most people simply don't have a very deep experience base for any of the stages. Their experience of the stages was never a deep exhaustion or transcendence of the stage, therefore their stage is quite fragile. It hasn't been put to a stress test. It's like a soldier who has never been in the battlefield vs a veteran. To prevent regression the stage has to be deeply explored and exhausted.

There are plenty branches of Christianity which are horrible cults.
Evangelicals and others are also batshit delusional.
You could argue that most of Christianity is a cult.

The solution is obvious: eat high quality unprocessed whole foods.
The devil is heavily processed foods and foods that combine many ingredients together.
It's hard to go wrong with a whole fruit, veggie, or cut of meat.
If you want to stay effortlessly lean, cut out starchy carbs like potatoes, wheat, rice, grains, oats, etc. If you want to bulk up or need a lot of energy to burn, then load up on the starchy carbs.

Because you're living a life disconnected from Truth, lost in delusion.
Do you want a good life or a shitty life?

Forget weed. Upgrade to serious psychedelics and do them occasionally.
Weed is addictive. Serious psychedelics are anti-addictive.

That's as silly as saying that no one ever wakes up dreaming of buying a car.
Yet when you need a car, you will happily visit a car dealership.
Girls are highly social creatures. They flirt with randos all the time. It's so natural for them that they don't even think about it. And then they end up sleeping with those randos. That is their version of "game". It comes so naturally that they don't have to take any responsibility for it. They don't even have to admit to themselves that game is happening.

RSD Tyler made a new video on toxic relationships
It's long, but to summarize he says that a very toxic relationship has lead him into believing things like demonic possession and energies take over people and control them. In short he was in a toxic relationship where his partner would become very toxic but when he is about to leave become nice again and he'd come back and the cycle would repeat. But more interestingly he said he began adopting some of her behaviors and later on saw her doing the same behaviors to other people or other people doing the same things to her.
Do you have experience with a highly toxic relationship? How did you escape it?

Volunteer somewhere, anywhere. It will be one of the best decisions you can ever make. I started when I was 18 after being forced to to get my 40 community hours to graduate high school, but it was so awesome I never stopped doing it.
You'll meet some amazing people to socialize with because the environment of volunteering naturally draws kind, interesting, high quality folks who will look out for you.
Toastmasters is also great (and free). It's the perfect environment to practice socializing and build confidence in that area, because you are in a completely friendly risk free place for it. The people there understand exactly what it's like and are all in the same boat.
Volunteering basically cured my crippling social/anxiety, and it was fucking baaaaaad.

Of course I mean your entire life.
There is only one dream. This is it.
You are dreaming other dreams.

Of course scientists feign humility when cornered. That's all part of the devilry of science. The humility is just a facade for a profound intellectual arrogance.
Scientists precisely claim that things cannot be known which can in fact be absolutely known.
For example, I claim complete omniscience is possible. Scientists would never allow such a thing. This seems like humility but is actually arrogance.
Just look at my interview with Curt Jaimungal. He epitemizes the way a sicentific mind gets lost in itself.
All of science is a hallucination. Good luck getting any scientist to admit or understand that.
Science is not self-aware.
Agnosticism is no virtue. It is ignorance. Just because you are proud of being ignorant does not means you understand anything.
Become omniscient. It is possible. After all, you are God, for fuck's sake

That depends on what you want out of life.
For me it was worth it, not because of the sex I got but because of how much stronger it made me as a man. To me that is priceless. The sex is a nice bonus. I don't recommend doing pickup for the sex.

Go out and party with some friends/wings. Just party until you let loose and just enjoy being social.
This is a deeper issue than attracting girls.
You gotta train yourself to have fun. Which can be quite challenging if you've have been trained otherwise.
Alcohol was invented precisely because it's hard for many people to let loose and have fun while sober. But it can be done. I don't recommend using alcohol as a crutch for this. I have never use alcohol and I can have a blast clubbing sober with a good wing.

We'll I've made over a million dollars, I've attracted some really hot girls, I've lost 65 pounds, and many other practical things.
But the most important gains were not material, they were in how I perceive myself and reality.

Pickup specifically requires 1000s of hours of practice. It is a very specific and unusual skill set.

It will take way more work than you expected.
But the reward will also be greater than you expected.
Yup
Oh yeah.
The average person cannot fathom how much work it takes to get good at pickup for a hard case newbie.
It's like climbing mount Everest.
This is why few people get good at it. Most people are just way too lazy and take socialization and dating for granted. They want it to be effortless. If  you are deeply introverted it will be a serious challenge because it goes against the grain of how your psyche is structured.

Lol, that's a sad story bro... sorry to hear this.
Perhaps doing so many trips has damaged your system is such a way that you're unable to benefit much from meditation anymore.
For me, I've done 6years of spiritual practice and meditation and I live in permenant primordial awareness or what some teachers would call it effortless present moment state. Self-realization is a normal daily phenomena for me, tho it's not mind blowing or eyes-bulging-out-of-the-skull thing but it's getting stronger and stronger everyday. My awareness deepens everyday without me doing much, mind gets purer, clarity and wisodm grows naturally, sensitivity, joy and love is increasing more and more. No issues with mental health whatsoever. Life is getting better, better and better and I see it will continue this way endlessly .
So yeah, that's my story. Having the best time of my life right now,  each day is better then the previous one, that's how normal spiritual path should look like if you're doing the right things with yourself. That's why I discourage people from using psychedelics since there's no way they will work. You can’t rise your energy by constantly draining your energy with chemicals. Same way you can't achieve happyness or high aliveness by drinking coffee or popping anti-depressants. It only appears that coffee gives you energy but in fact it drains energy and makes you weaker. It's the same trick with psychedelics. They will only make things worse and difficult in the long run. But that's almost impossible to explain to people...
