Why does time seem to go by faster as we age?
Why does time seem to go by faster as we age?Cause you got more shit to do.
Time crawls when you got nothing to do.

How to dissolve distinctions? (How do I begin the non dual path?)?
How to dissolve distinctions? (How do I begin the non dual path?)?That's what psychedelics are for. They dissolve distinctions which you cannot normally do in your default state.
If you could dissolve material distinctions at will, physical reality would melt away and you would think you've lost your mind. This is what people call insanity. So there's a good reason why you cannot do it. You are treating this stuff as if it's a game when it is as serious as losing your mind and your life. People who do this wrong end up jumping out of a window because of course there is no difference between life and death other than what you're imagining.

How do I gain weight ?
How do I gain weight ?I found lifting translated the best when I had to move apartments.
But that's like once every 5 years.

How do I gain weight ?
How do I gain weight ?Definitely exercise.
There's also nothing wrong with bulking up a bit. I plan to bulk up some in the future. It does help with girls. Just don't make it a substitute for game.
I used to be 15 lbs bulkier than I am now.

Tailor your shit.
Like I said, you won't really see msucle on my frame unless I grow 30lbs of it.

How should your game differ if you want a LTR?
How should your game differ if you want a LTR?You don't need to keep playing hard to get once she's your gf.
The point here is simply not to over-invest in her because she's not that invested in you yet. It takes time for a girl to get invested. Hence the need to play it cool at the outset.
This is really just a tactic to thwart your own neediness, which repells women. And the less girls you sleep with the more needy you will be, so be careful. Once your dream girl comes along you'll probably be needy as fuck because you were saving yourself for her.

How should your game differ if you want a LTR?
How should your game differ if you want a LTR?Keep setting up meets with her, but don't do or say anything special or serious. Just keep it playful and exciting and give her good sex. She will fall in love with you soon enough. Do not bring up being her boyfriend. Just be chill and give her good sex.
The key is to not come off as needy or desperate, and not to place her on any kind of pedastal.

Would a random girl basically ask me to go too a bar with her if she wasn't into me?
Would a random girl basically ask me to go too a bar with her if she wasn't into me?Like I said, girls will use you to entertain them, with no intention of hooking up.
I went on a date with a girl once who had a boyfriend. She was just bored and lonely cause her bf was out of town. She wouldn't sleep with me but she made out with me.
It's not uncommon for a girl to use you to pump up her state and have fun, but then announce she has a bf once things start getting heavy.
She wants to keep her bf and have fun.

If Women don´t care about looks...
If Women don´t care about looks...They care about looks, but that's not primarily what they need from a man.
Online there is nothing to go on but looks.
Women are attracted a lot to status and confidence and energy, but none of that gets communicated online.
Online attraction is rather artificial because it strips away all the other variables that make a man attractive.
If a girl shows up to a date with you, she's basically already decided she's willing to sleep with you, as long as you don't screw it up by acting weird or creepy, and you lead.

Joe Rogan IG Post, a Mind Infected by Ideology
Joe Rogan IG Post, a Mind Infected by IdeologyHow about 200 years of racism and slavery? Maybe that has something to do with it?

Joe Rogan IG Post, a Mind Infected by Ideology
Joe Rogan IG Post, a Mind Infected by IdeologyI didn't assume anything. You asked for a reason for black on black violence. I gave it to you.
Black on black violence is the result of poverty caused by hundreds of years of oppression and marginalization. There is not sufficient wealth in black communities because they were impoverished for generations as a race. When you lack wealth you are forced to resort to violence to make ends meet.

Is being romantic with a girl and making her feel special a bad idea for casual sex?
Is being romantic with a girl and making her feel special a bad idea for casual sex?Never explicitly talk about sex. Keep it classy. She should know just by your eye contact that you will fuck her as soon as she's alone in a room with you.
With every girl you talk to who you find attractive, she should immediately perceive you as a sexual threat. Stop being a pussy. Girls should be telling you, "But I have a boyfriend" right off the bat because they know you are not some dickless dude who is going to play patty-cakes.
This is actually very honest. It makes things clear for the girl. What girls hate is when you try to weasel your way into her pants by acting gay.

Leo's latest blog Question
Leo's latest blog QuestionSelf-deception 101. Your feelings are there to help your short-term survival, and survival is usually not truth, it's illusions and biases.
By overwhelming your mind's focus with survival, you drift further and further away from truth into a hell of your own making.
In a sense survival is the avoidance of truth. And avoidance of truth always comes back to bite you in the ass, it just takes a while.
Most people live in a way where they are trying to cheat at life in order to temporarily feel good. This is like living off a rolling series of credit card loans.

Is Owen’s Hot Seat at Home worth it?
Is Owen’s Hot Seat at Home worth it?Sure, they give you some feedback, but it's pretty weak stuff. You should already know most of your sticking points by analyzing your own sets.
Bootcamps are very low value. You are better off just finding a couple of solid wings. You will learn more from your wings in a few weeks than from a bootcamp.
To me, seeing more in-field and new in-field is almost always worth it. But if you've seen a ton of in-field already then maybe not.
I find that I learn the best from watching solid in-field.
There's not really any special information in game. It's about fine-tuning your game in small ways. All of it adds up over the years. There's no magic pill, just a bunch of 1%-5% improvements that stack up.
$300 for HotSeat is a pretty good deal if you've never seen it. I saw it live back in 2012 and was happy to pay $300 for it. This at home version is newer and you get the benefit of being able to rewatch it at home. I wish I had that back in 2012.
The biggest downside is that it tends to be flashy game, which is actually not the best game. It's made to look more interesting for viewers to watch than it is solid game. But it's good to try some flash game just to see how much you can get away with. It expands your range. Just don't get lost in being so flashy. The best game is more chill and normal.

How to find wings in your city?There should be tons of wings in Toronto. It's a great city for game.

Is Owen’s Hot Seat at Home worth it?I find watching in-field way more effective than a bootcamp. Bootcamps are pretty bad value. All that happens on a bootcamp is you are told to approach.
The HotSeat really opens your mind to what is possible in game. Although much of it is flash game. But still, even seeing flash game is good to grow some balls.

What do you guys think of tinder?
What do you guys think of tinder?There are plenty of social mechanisms now, more than there have ever been in history. Social media and the internet actually makes it easier than ever to find these as well. You just have to actually go out and do them.
College/uni is a great example. You can either be the type who sits in their room all day or you can be the type to join a bunch of different societies/clubs and meet a ton of people. I was the type that sat in my room all day and now I can see how dumb that was. But even after college/uni, there are literally endless social activities you can go and join. Go and travel the world if you really want to meet a bunch of people.
People still go to bars all the time. People still go to clubs. Clubs are fucking packed. Bars are fucking packed. The jiu jitsu classes I go to are fucking packed. There are 20k+ people in the average uni/college here who basically party in real life every day of the week. That chart shows that more people than ever meet in bars and clubs now too. 61% of long term relationships (in the US, in other countries I suspect it's substantially higher) still meet through non-online methods. I suspect the rate of short-term or casual relationships that occur from real life socialisation is really high too.
People still socialise in real life
I can't really think of any social mechanisms that have been removed. I think a more likely frame is that in the past those who were naturally less social did not have any options at all to satisfy social desire other than to get over it and learn socialise. Now the internet gives those people a way to get social stimulation from their couch, but as it turns out that laziness has costs, especially for guys, as their sexual value hinges on social skill. I don't really know if society or dating apps are to blame for that. You're right that they don't help, but they're also not as big of a problem as you make them out to be.
Think of it like this, if we banned dating apps, do you think the percentage of dudes not getting laid would go down substantially?

Clubs are bad for health and other activities
Clubs are bad for health and other activitiesClubs close by 2am in most cities. Which isn't that late.
Obviously don't drink at all.
Vegas clubs do screw up your sleep schedule. You gotta live on Vegas-time here.
In most normal cities you can collect a bunch of phone numbers by 1am. Then head home to sleep.
Learning pickup certainly consumes a lot of time and energy. It's a serious investment with serious payoffs.

People who do not use the word "God" are full of shit!
People who do not use the word "God" are full of shit!To be honest, plenty of so-called awake people do not know what God is. Because they are not conscious enough.
Not using the word God or Love is problematic because it shows me they still don't get it. Many Buddhist and Neo-Avaita types are guilty of this.
But Spira is not one of them.

No girls likes you because you haven't even presented yourself to a girl. How can she like you when you sit at home all day???
This isn't rocket science.

Is inner game everything? And are these claims realistic?
Is inner game everything? And are these claims realistic?Yes, I understand that method.
I have heard that some very advanced guys boil their game down to this: you basically go to a club and quickly compliance test every girl until you find one who is very compliant and down. You spend most of your time just screening for logistics rather than getting all fancy with your verbals. You don't waste time running long sets for 30+ mins. Instead you quickly test girls out for 5 mins to see how down they are. If she isn't down, you eject and move to the next. This may be the most efficient mechanical way of getting laid.
I think there is some truth to this, but it's not entirely true.
I think attraction is a factor. But of course attraction can be generated with solid game.
I think if you limit your game to just pure compliance testing that's too mechanical.
Then again, I am not some master at game. It can also be hard to know which PUA coach to trust. They're not exactly trust-worthy or objective people. They tend tend to be scummy and dishonest.
Yes, it is hard to test stuff like that.
In practice, most guys who are really good with game also have fairly good looks, which creates a killer combo. And then it become very difficult to know which is doing the heavy lifting in the interaction.
Looks are certainly a factor. Online game proves this conclusively. Now in-person game is very different, but still you would be a fool to assume that the #1 factor in online is completely nullified with game. Game can get you far, but you cannot game your way into a girl's pants if she is simply not attracted to you physically at all.
Sometimes you run very solid game but the girl is just not interested. This is pretty common actually. The key is just to move on to another girl who is.
It's hard to say. I would say he's got a pretty dashing look. But he's not some jacked, tall, muscular, big-jawed dude. He does not fit the classic jock or Chad stereotype. But I would say he's well above average.
He is extremely charismatic and charming, and has insane verbal game.
He's a lesser known pickup coach. I'm not going to name him.
To be fair, his theory is that girls do not have a type. He believes if his game is good enough any girl will sleep with him regardless of type. Be believes the girl will backwards-rationalize that he is her type after she sleeps with him.
I'm not sure if that's true. I'm just telling you his mindset. It's hard to measure these things objectively.
I'm open to the idea that girls don't really have a type. But I think some girls simply won't be attracted to you physically, and you should therefore move on to other girls.
In my own experience I've noticed that Asian girls are more easily attracted to me than other kinds of girls. This suggests that type does play a factor. Then again, it's hard to measure this objectively.
No, his game is a lot more charming, charismatic, and verbal. It's not so mechanical as just compliance testing.

How to get let in clubs solo
How to get let in clubs soloEven those girls are still going to get attracted at an emotional not a logical level.
And obviously we are generalizing. Not even all girls like dick. The exceptions demonstrate the rule.
Even the emotional guys are still logical relative to girls. Consider that gender is more fundamental than personality type. Female cats still go into heat and want to be fucked. This dynamic is way more primal than personality type or even humanness.

Nootropics Mega-Thread
Nootropics Mega-ThreadWhen I take my stack, it is certainly no mere placedo. It's VERY noticable. Modafinil is especially very noticable.
Armodafinil is nuts for me.
And sulbutiamine seems to be the second most noticable for me.
It can be hard to notice each supplement in isolation but easier when they are stacked and synergize.
