College and pickup as a life noob
College and pickup as a life noobNo, I mostly motivate myself to take action because I have a keen sense that I will soon be dead and I value the miracle of my life too much to waste a single year of it on dumb shit.
So stop joking around and educate yourself seriously.

Pickup is fuckin hard
Pickup is fuckin hardPickup is not easy. In fact I believe its way harder than spirituality, lol.
I'm 25. I've already spent 10k in coaching (including 2 RSD bootcamps), done 400 cold approaches in 2 years (with 300 of them being in the last 5 months), and gotten laid 0 times.
Between July 2021 and now, my fear around going out and approaching was reducing, but shot back up in the past month (not sure why). My skill was plateauing and after just working with Jeffy infield, my game got worse. (Part of the natural progression??)
For the typical person, this would be sufficient grounds for quitting. 400 approaches, no intimacy, and now getting worse? Hell, I'm almost reluctant to post this as it might deter newbies. But proper expectations go a long way.
But here's the thing: I am not giving up, I'm only going to go harder. I've made it my goal to go out EVERY night and walk around the club area just to get in the habit of being out there without necessarily approaching. Then on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday try and get together with wings to go ham.
This is the only way. I'm scared at the soul level, but I've got to do it. It's the fight of my life. Who can relate?

How to date as a feminine man?
How to date as a feminine man?What do you expect? Of course it's rare. Most girls want to be fucked by a strong man. You want a rare thing.
Embrace the rareness and look for the rare.

Is it conscious politics to hold devils accountable?
Is it conscious politics to hold devils accountable?He is not pursuing truth or objectivity. He's acting out self-bias in an aggressive and dogmatic manner. Which will backfire.
There will be less negative side effects from TYT than Jimmy Dore.
Jimmy Dore is wrong on Russia. There is definitely a Trump-Russia connection, it's just not clear what that connection is. It's probably worse than anyone imagines. Maybe one day we will know. And maybe not, because not all things can be proven.
Never give Trump the benefit of the doubt on such things. He's rotten to the core.
Regardless, Jimmy Dore's whole style is dogmatic and will lead to problems if it is more widely adopted. Politics requires much more nuance. This is not conscious politics, it's foaming-at-the-mouth progressivism, which is no virtue.

Leo which psychedelics are you taking at the moment?
Leo which psychedelics are you taking at the moment?Not above, but as powerful as any of those on me.
No specific chemical can be recommended to anyone in general because they affect people in wildly different ways.
My experience of weed is highly unusual. Weed will not affect most people like it does me. For most people 5-MeO will give much more reliable God-mode.
You should find what works best for specifically you. Do not assume you are like me in this domain. I am highly unusual.
Just Consciousness.

Anyone had sex on 5-MeO-DMT?
Anyone had sex on 5-MeO-DMT?It just doesn't make sense. You're not gonna want to have sex on it. It's too serious, the duration is too short, and the body load is not right.
I've jerked off on it about a dozen times. It's kinda interesting but it doesn't feel particularly great. Normal jerking off feels more pleasurable. 5-MeO-DMT does not enhance sexual pleasure for me, it makes sexual pleasure feel kinda underwhelming and mechanical.

What country is the best to live in?
What country is the best to live in?If you don't possess highly sought-after skills, don't even think about coming to Europe.
The only scenario in which this makes sense is if you are a highly skilled expert in a field with significant demand in Europe, such as technology. In such a case, you could earn a good income, and if you come from a poor country, you might be able to return after a while and live very comfortably for the remainder of your life.
Europe, especially Scandinavia, is a very hostile place for foreigners. This is not like early America, where immigrants could just show up with nothing and work their way to the top. There is barely any opportunity even for our own people.

Donald Trump
Donald TrumpIndeed, awakening is required.
Just what do you think Oneness means?
You think you are going to realize Oneness and still maintain that you did are not doing industrialized killing?
It's all you baby! Whatever horrors you see in the world are the very horrors you created. You are not gonna be able to blame anyone else for it.

I got laid for the first time, but it kinda sucked. Any resources for amazing Sex?
I got laid for the first time, but it kinda sucked. Any resources for amazing Sex?I finally did it, I got laid at 21 years old and I am thrilled about it... but the experience was lame. I wasn't nervous, it was just that I wasn't that turned on by her. I am sure exsessive porn consumption is one of the reasons.. or that I fapped before the same morning cuz I didn't expect getting laid. I didn't cum but I got it up, eventhough I lost it once. I pulled her from a bar/club.
It was like the illusion broke. When she was there naked, the spell of desire and anticipation was lost. I just had it - and it didn't fullfill me, and it couldn't. Since then I haven't been horny at all. I enjoyed her feminine precense and cuddeling with her after a lot more than the act itself. For your information, I am 100% attracted to girls. It's almost comical becuase I used to think that it would be impossible for me to not ejaculate if I ever would have sex but now when I did have it, it was like I discovered the truth which was the opposite of what I thought.
Any ideas what's going on here? Any resources for great sex? Thanks

An Important Metric: The Prettier the Girl = The Dumber & Shallower the Guy Selected
An Important Metric: The Prettier the Girl = The Dumber & Shallower the Guy SelectedNo one deserves anything.
You will get whatever you work and fight for. And even then, you might get a bullet to the head or brain cancer.
Welcome to life.
No one deserves hot girls, and most people will not get them by definition -- because of how you define hotness.

An Important Metric: The Prettier the Girl = The Dumber & Shallower the Guy SelectedNope
But if you expect high sexual value while offering none in return, guess what that makes you? A leech. And leeches tend to get killed.
The more sexual value you want, the harder you're gonna have to work for it. If you are too lazy to work hard, then settle for way less.
Sex is not some carebear child's game. It's a sexual marketplace where the stakes are life and death. When you deny this reality, you get bad results and suffering.

An Important Metric: The Prettier the Girl = The Dumber & Shallower the Guy Selected
An Important Metric: The Prettier the Girl = The Dumber & Shallower the Guy SelectedAs crude and as pictorial as this title appears to be, this metric seems to be generally maintained in western societies. Of course there are outliers but these remain few and far between. I found this with friends of mine that are female as well as past partners.
Women between ages 20-30 tend to base their attraction on the toxic superficialities of a male. beyond this age their attraction seems to be derived from places other than purely this. Some of these superficialities include: looks, macho bravado, egotistical, uneducated (or low involvement in education), status driven, hedonistic, daring, bad-boy attitude, party goer, arrogance, obnoxiousness, fashionable, non-emotional, non-reflective or spiritual etc. need I continue.
It seems to work both ways too. The more these superficial features are exhibited in a male, the more he will attract the prettier girl.
This seems obvious but once you've taken time to observe such a social movement it becomes comical and extremely illuminating. You can almost estimate the oscillation, duration and quality of ones relationships by this very metric. It opens ones eyes to the level of psychology younger adults seems to be operating from in a western demographic. Human behaviour seems to be more predictable of course, but more importantly you also see where you can be of support to those lost within these notions.
I assume many women will object to such a claim, as it would seem to undermine their dignity. However, I would disagree. I would argue it undermines the deep meaning of sexuality and attraction. Males undervalue what it means to really be a man thus, select the most obnoxious characteristics by which to operate. Females buy into these traits due to sociological shifts and trends that churn through culture. Whats also undermined is our social systems, those which educate and influence prototypical change.
Without judgement I implore those skeptical to explore this trend. It’s astonishingly pervasive, more so than we’d probably like to admit.

OMG This shit is real. Everything is imaginary .
OMG This shit is real. Everything is imaginary .Wow. Now what. Your parents are fucking imaginary. Leo is fucking imaginary. This whole fucking forum is imaginary. Just go with life and change your worldview?
The answer is yes. You just proceed as usual. The only difference is in the back of your mind you know it's just a solipsistic game and that you are all alone imagining everything and everyone. It's actually liberating to know it's a dream- because you know that death is an illusion.

Joe Rogan presents no existential threat to Sean Carroll.
I do.
After talking to me, Sean will be in a depression for a month curled up in a fetal position in the corner of his CalTech office.

How can I study science by myself??The Great Courses
Nope, it's not really important. Learning science will basically do nothing to improve your life. In fact it will fill your head with a bunch of concepts which will then make it harder to awaken.
But science can be interesting.

It's just a different struggle.
There is no greater myth than when guys believe: "It's unfair, women have it easy because they can just go to a bar and get banged by some random dude, but I as a guy can't do the the same with hot women."
Lolz
The self-bias in such logic is staggering.

Everyone Is Selfish.
Everyone Is Selfish.This is generally true, but also false in many cases. Just because there is some tangible "payoff" for helping someone, doesn't mean that's why the helper does it. It's more a matter of the helper's state of mind. For example, I of course do have a financial stake in writing this comment and sharing my thoughts with you because I own this forum and it is a business asset. But that isn't the thing that motivated me to actually answer your question. My motivation in this case came from a genuine desire to help out without needing anything back from you in return. Of course that doesn't mean I'm selfless. It just means that people can be generous simply to be generous because generosity makes people feel good in and of itself. Folks on the Moderation team are doing some thankless work to run this forum, and many of them volunteered simply because they want to give something back to the community because it makes them feel good.
One of the struggles that humanity faces is: How do we survive and thrive as individual selves AND also as a community of selves?
This is perhaps the single biggest force shaping human activity on the planet today.
If you've studied the Graves or Spiral Dynamics model, this is basically what its describing. It show you how the psyche attempts to resolve this question at various stages of its development.
As the psyche becomes more self-aware, it starts to become more and more sensitive to the genuine needs of others. As the ego dissolves, space is created for genuine connection and, dare I say, LOVE.
But yes, at a practical level, as long as you're a human being, you have to still look out for your own survival. But the good news is, you can dramatically decrease the harmful fallout from your self-survival process and you can become a powerful force for selflessness at the highest Graves stages.
