  2. Is There Any Point In Meditating For 30 Mins A Day?
    Is There Any Point In Meditating For 30 Mins A Day?
    @electroBeam Until about 6 months ago, I meditated for no more than 60 mins per day, and I was seeing good results.
    The intent and focus you put into your 20 mins is way more important than sheer quantity of minutes.
    I said 10 hours per day in the very radical context of using meditation to fix all of life's problems.
    You guys need to listen more carefully. I notice a lot of sloppy listening, where you listen without any nuance and your ego runs away with it.
    Sloppy listeners are not cut out for spiritual pursuits.

    I struggle with day game
    @Marinus That's great action-taking. 31 daytime approaches is a lot.
    There are many stages to a successful pickup that must be mastered: the open, body language, the smile, eye contact, keeping conversations going, flirtation, kino/touching, authenticity, sexual tension, hitting a hook point, screening for boyfriend, getting the close, leading and pulling for instant date, number closing, etc.
    It's quite hard to learn all those on your own. It helps to go with a wing-man who already has experience with this and can help you evaluate your interactions. Try to find some wings in your city.
    A successful daytime approach requires a lot more than just opening the girl and saying Hi. You must learn to make the conversation fun, flirty, and interesting. And you must learn how to close in order to get any results. All daytime approaches must end with you asking the girl for an insta-date coffee.
    Yes, you will be very awkward and mechanical at first. But you can quickly improve. Your goal should be to approach a girl in the same way you might approach and talk to your own girlfriend. It has to be very natural, like it's no big deal, like you've known her your own life. You must just assume this vibe and sense of friendship and familiarity right off the bat. It has to be super casual so the girl is not put on guard.
    A great way to practice conversation skills and body language is by chatting with store clerks at the mall. Go find some girl clerks. They are bored most the day and will be happy to talk with you. Try to flirt with them a bit without outright hitting on them. Try to get them to open up about themselves. Try to charm them a bit. Tease them. Wink and smile at them. Tell them some stories about yourself, etc.
    At this point your goal is not even to have sex but simply to become a more social, extroverted, talkative, charismatic person. You can even practice on guys and old ladies. Get good at small-talk and self-expression to strangers. Get good at building rapid social comfort, so people are comfortable around you. So they feel you as a fun friendly guy.
    I love day game. The biggest problem with it is that it's not easy to find a lot of hot girls during the day unless you live near certain great locations. Cities like LA, London, and NYC are amazing for daygame, but most cities aren't.
    The advantage of night is that you get a lot more girls to talk to. And there's possibilities for same night pulls.
    Oh, it's also VERY IMPORTANT that when you approach a girl during the day you stop her and face up to her squarely, face to face. Do not be approaching girls from the back or the side. If she is walking, you must stop her cold by getting her attention. You must face her directly. You must have her full attention before you deliver your opener. Do not be whispering your opener to her side or back as she is walking. Run around her and stop her without scaring her. And you must always open with a smile. If there is a look of fear on your face, she will freak out. Practice that smile like your life depends on it.

  4. How to deal with rejection because of Looks?
    How to deal with rejection because of Looks?
    I have a lot of rejections from girls in real life but also on an online dating platform where I usually  get blocked whenever I reveal my photos. How do you not let that get to yourself? I mean you have to be real with yourself that you start with a huge handicap, I'm already 30 and it feels so hopeless at times.
    Looks wise Ive done everythig I can (good clothes & fit)

  5. How to deal with rejection because of Looks?
    How to deal with rejection because of Looks?
    There are four main ways in which you can meet women:
    - online
    - night game
    - daygame
    - socially
    Pick the one that caters to YOUR strengths. If looks aren't your strength, obviously online dating isn't for you. Just delete all those apps and forget about it. Focus on meeting girls face to face.
    Now, are you more introverted or extroverted? If you're more of an introvert, go for daygame. This means you approach women during the day, anywhere you want: a bus stop, the streets, a coffee shop, a library, a supermarket, etc. You don't need high energy, you don't need friends, you don't need money, all you need is skill. You obtain this skill by practicing a lot, which is the advice you got from Leo.
    If you're extroverted, both night game or social game are where it's at for you. If you have plenty of friends and are a leader, people listen to you and you organize events, parties, stuff like that, then for you it's social game. Girls will flock to you that way.
    If you're just a fun guy but not a leader of men, then night game is for you. Go out to bars and clubs and approach women.
    Whichever you pick, just stick to it and become good at it. You will suck in the beginning. So what? How does anybody ever learn anything? By sucking in the beginning. Then try again and again until you no longer suck.

    @Max_V Keep in mind that people have different genetics which leads to significant differences in the detox pathways of heavy metals. If you have the right genes you might detox 90% of heavy metals naturally. If you have the wrong genes you might detox only 20%.
    You can actually get your DNA tested for various methylation genes.
    My methylation genes are not the best, so I have to be more careful.
    Don't underestimate how big of a role genetics plays in diet and health questions. It is THE key factor.

    @museumoftrees If you want to specialize in quick pulls, just show up to the venue at 1 hour before closing time.
    But you are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

    Good style for looking attractive? (Pick-up)
    True.
    Except, almost everyone is a lazy fuck, so almost everyone is vanilla and mediocre. So trying hard will get you amazing results.
    "I rejected that guy because he had style" said no woman ever.

    Simple: meet more guys.
    It's a numbers game.
    Your numbers are too low for luck to roll your way. Luck is a huge factor in dating so you need to stack the deck in your favor.

  11. Are green people really cognetively superior to blue people?
    Are green people really cognetively superior to blue people?
    There are many levels to Green. Many people's Green runs only skin deep, as beliefs and ideology. It's like a Green veneer. It takes a lot of inner work to reach solid Green. You can't reach solid Green merely through adopting liberal beliefs.
    Few Democrats are solid Green. They are mostly Orange with a Green veneer. But most people don't know any better. So we get this wolf in sheep's clothing effect -- as seen with the corporate Dems.
    Never forget, there are always devils around who will try to convince the world that they are one color when they are actually a few colors lower. This makes understanding Spiral Dynamics a bit tricky. You have to really develop a keen eye.
    For example, Trump seems Orange, but he's got a solid Red foundation with a bunch of Orange veneer. And it fools A LOT of smart people, not to mention the dumb ones. So watch out for fakers.
    To be at solid Green requires not just beliefs but an opening of the heart. You have to really empathize with other beings around the world. This cannot be faked. It's an honest signal. And yes, good education in a highly developed society can help you to open your heart. Good education is not merely book-smarts.

  12. Are green people really cognetively superior to blue people?
    Are green people really cognetively superior to blue people?
    Lets say we have two persons - one is (mainly) blue and one is green.
    On average, their values of the both are a result of their family, environment and education, and were given to them with a spoon directly to their mouth.
    So, Why that the green one will be superior cognetively? He is not. He has not built by himself any more complex neurological pathways because of his values, he was not sweating more, he just has given its values as a content or as a story.
    Yes, in both sides there are people who are more autodidact and may have superiority in cognition because they develop their brain by themselves, but than can happen pretty equally (statistically) with the both colors, so this parameter offsets itself.

    The idea that astrology is a mass cultural delusion is itself a mass cultural delusion.
    Oh the irony...
    Also, don't conflate pop online horoscopes with serious astrology. If you're gonna do astrology, go to a real astrologist.

  17. Learning to have sex without getting attached as a woman
    Learning to have sex without getting attached as a woman
    That's a tall order. That's hard even for guys if they like the girl.
    I can't do that if I really like the girl. I will experience heartbreak. It stings like a bitch.
    If you find a really awesome person losing them will sting like a bitch. The person who you can break up with easily is gonna be some scrub who isn't worth dating.
    It's a value game. Your mind is hunting to maximize value for yourself. And once you find the motherlode, you will want to hoard it. The bigger the diamond the harder you will attach to it.
    Guys who easily give up girls can only do so because they have 5 other girls they're seeing who are hotter so they don't give a shit. It's like taking out a full load of laundry and dropping one sock. You don't care because you got 20 other socks. But if that was your only pair, you would care.
    Girls who tend to be very promiscuous also tend to be so attractive that they got dozens of guys hitting them up all the time, so to them "things just happen" a lot more frequently.

    You can go to a bar and have sex with a new guy each night. Is that what you want? If so, then do it. But my guess is you don't want that.
    Like I said, most women who have casual sex do it because they go party and are just in that kind of mood and "things happen". They are not planning it.
    Although some do.
    My friend and I once picked up two chicks in Vegas who flew in from Chicago and their goal was to bang new guys each night of the week they were here. Just for fun. I only learned of their plan when they went off to sleep with my 3rd friend the next night and he told me about it the next morning when I was upset that she didn't call me back.

    Why would you want this? Women get attached after sex. That's how your psychology works.
    A ONS for most women does not happen via deliberate planning. Women rarely have sex deliberately. It happens in the moment when her emotions are pumped up or she's just horny.
    Sex works a bit differently for guys.

  20. A few problems with the Clare Graves / Spiral Dynamics model
    A few problems with the Clare Graves / Spiral Dynamics model
    SD is a complex model which requires serious study and contemplation to understand fully.
    All of these issues you brought are up only apparent issue because you haven't fully understood the model yet and you are not quite properly interpreting history. For example America was not more Green in the 60's than today. That is confusing the hippie movement with the average level of the entire country. In the 60's America was heavy Blue/Orange.
    Atheists are not Blue, they are just stubbornly Orange.
    Each stage builds on all the prior ones, so there is no contradiction in a Green or even Turquoise person starting a business. Business takes place at every stage, just following different values.

  23. How long do you wait to have sex?
    How long do you wait to have sex?
    Because it’s not the phase of life they are in.
    Most guys here are young and feel like they lack options when it comes to dating. So their main concern is maximizing optionality. That’s also what PUA instructors tend to teach.
    Then they conflate optionality with abundance.
    I believe it’s also a product of our larger stage Orange society. Everything is about maximizing options and freedom of choice.

  24. Meditating 2 Hours Every Day - 1 Year Later (& Psychedelics vs. Meditation)
    Meditating 2 Hours Every Day - 1 Year Later (& Psychedelics vs. Meditation)
    Really appreciate that. Yes I do agree so much time is wasted with mental masturbation. Actually, finding the time for 2 hours of formal practice is a lot easier than it may seem when we realize how much time is needlessly thrown away through distraction. 
     
    As far as the quote, yes that is very true but it’s one of those quotes that can very easily be coopted by the ego, turned into a belief that living life as we are and formally meditating are equivalent. While this is actually true, essentially, it’s not something we’ll actually live as experience without a shitload of consistency, intensity, and experience with formal practice.
     
    What comes to mind for me is the 10 ox herding pictures, just how profound the depths of this path really go, diligent practice being necessary every step along the way until the very end. But also, I think this has to be balanced with the quote you bring up from Rupert. When both are held in simultaneous balance, magic.
    Thank you again brother.
