Incorrect (IMO). They actually are the same. The problem is most men don't have high attraction skills, it has little do with status. Status helps sure, let's not deny that, but it's not the core of attraction. If all men built their attraction skills, then it would be similar to your example of women (that men will just see a woman as hot for her being hot and not need to compare her to a fat or ugly woman) you see what. I am saying? Women would just see a man as hot becuase the guy is being attractive without needing to compare him to other guys, also if he DIDN'T have attraction skills, she wouldn't see him as hot and it wouldn't matter if there were other guys around. Similar to how we see a woman and know if she is hot or not no matter who else is around her. But even that i would challenge too, because if you were on a desert island with a fat ugly girl in a few weeks she would start looking like Jessica Alba.

This is actually something i've begun to question. I think it's akin to the black pill ideology that women "only want a rich, tall, ripped guy" which just isn't true. Attraction is a skill that can be developed, and when it's all said and done that is what matters. There are guys with tons of money and status who are basically incels and guys who are dead broke but have massive attraction skills. I live in Bali, it's full of ripped rich entreprenuers and lots of the women here see them as corny and girlier than they are. Is there usually a correlation betwen status and sex? Yes, but that is likely because someone who gains status is already displaying the major pillars of attraction - dominance, confidence, frame, security, etc, so it's more like "high status guys get laid not because of their status but because who they are, which also results in status." But this idea that status alone is super attractive can be challenged. There's been many examples i've seen in my own life recently in Bali where I go to some Villa party with 2 girls and the guy throwing the party is shooting his shot (and missing) with one of the girls i came with only for her to leave with me. Or like last night i went to World Cup watch party and was hanging out with the hot Dutch girl that the guy who literally organized the party and was DJing for it was trying to get with. My point is that if you can develop serious attraction skills you can skip all the stupid backwoods ways that guys use to get chicks, like throwing parties, gaining status, making money, imo this is all kinda lame because most of them are just doing it to meet chicks, then the day hits where they realized they lived their whole life around trying to impress women. If you just act in a powerful manner for no reason other than you decided that you are a high value powerful man (regardless of your money, freinds, job, or looks) and changed your whole self concept and show this in your voice, eye contact and playfulness when talking to women you will get more results than the dude organizing parties and shit just to be seen.

That's a solid insight actually, he wants his ego and idea to live on, not his body, so in the most mind fuck-y way he is doing that by using "keep my body alive" to get famous.

i guarantee he's going to die earlier than most people because of all this nuerotic shit he is doing- life is counter intuitive like that

Never trusted this dude

I'll add emotional stability, having worked through all your traumas and shadow stuff, but also not getting lost in that world

I truly believe that in life if you are in good health and have drive, you can manifest and create whatever you want with enough hard work and discipline. The question isn't whether or not that's possible, but what actually are the proper things to work towards in life. I feel like most people just go for unconscious programming without questioning it much, this channel has helped me get clear on what the proper things to desire in life are. I also notice a lot of online views are conflicting regarding this question, many seem to place high import on money, but typically making a lot of money, like "fuck you" level money requires a ton of emotional and time investment that could be used for other things like spirituality, understanding, rest, contemplation, yoga, excercise, dating, etc. On the other hand many spiritual teachers just say go all in on awakening and Being, but this is too simple an answer imo. Here are the things i think are actually worth working towards in life: -Quality social relationships (4/5 good close friends) (building this) -Dating and Attraction Skills -Sexual skill and mastery, being able to have great sex and be an incredible lover -Social skills and confidence -Speaking, thinking, and articulation skills -Awareness, knowing your true nature as Nothing (Who am I?) -Consciousness, becoming conscious of reality and metaphysical questions -Pursing mastery in a domain in life -Knowledge and understanding , reading 100s of books and creating a nueral map of how things interrelate -Moving up spiral dynamics (development, mastery, growth) -Learning what you Authentically want without societies influence (ie- do I want kids, marriage, career, house, etc) -Financial independence, not being tied to anyone or dependent, able to walk away from anyone or any situation -Strength, flexibility, endurance, power, skill, hitting the gym and having a healthy and ripped physique -Being able to fight/defend yourself -Having fun expereinces, partying, dancing, laughing, not being too serious or a robot -Finding and fulfilling your life purpose -Creating a body of creative work -Having clean habits, like meditation, yoga, walks in nature and mastering getting rid of detrimental ones like porn. coffee, booze, scrolling -Having a calm energy and stable nervous system -Getting high quality coaching on skills you want to learn What else?

I think it can be a useful metric early on because to get laid you have be doing something right, unless you're just banging ugly girls (even then), you have to be charsimatic, centered, masculine, able to lead, fun, have courage, and be good with people to get someone in bed. Not saying it is the ultimate truth but there is a correlation between body count and social skills and probably success in general i would guess. Again, not a fact, but correlation. Also, you can learn a lot about different styles, energies, and vibes in sex. If you've only had say 6 sexual partners, your view of what's possible and what you might resonate with is quite limited. And i don't mean in just a way of trying new things out with the same person, women have quite a range of sexual expression and energies which you only discover through sex. Overall i think it teaches you a lot, but wearing it like some badge for your ego is pretty cringe. I also think it does something to you, as a man it changes you in a fundamental way. You sleep with 100+ women that's going to change you in potent ways that otherwise couldn't happen.

I don't know, i think anyone willing to sell their bodies and sexuality for money (especially when they don't really need to) is fundamentally pretty fucked up. I will give this a listen though, i'm sure he has some insights

This.... I feel the whole "marrying myself" thing comes from narcissism and insecurity... people say things like "I deserve only someone who loves me as much as I love me." Without thinking about how they can actually be a high value and good partner, it's all about judging and expecting the world of others who have the honor of being in your amazing presence. Cool, have fun being sexless and alone

However i will say, I live in Bali, and it is packed with beautiful women- in fact i've never seen anything like it, my gym club looks like a fucking Victoria Secret bikini haul. There is certainly competition and lots of the men their have their shit together, but still it's quite evened out and a good ratio, i've been having success

More for us I guess (the Men who actually have balls)

Who would've thought doing a bunch of drugs leads to bad things happening in your life. Wish him the best, but people simply don't respect their minds or the power of substances enough, shit is no joke. You guys with your psychedelics are no exception

I've heard that this is the reason it can actually help with things like porn, alcohol, caffeine, and gambling addiction becuase it tampers with your reward system, which is good for cutting out those bad habits or at best creating a riff so you get a few months free enough to stop yourself, but also i worry that it would also tamper with rewards you get from intimacy, life purpose, excercise, and meditation.

That's why i find it so silly when people say they are holding off on conciousness work while they pursue material reality. Its' like "yeah, i prefer to suffer and remain ignorant during my peak cognitive and vital years." Then there is this idea that at age 50 or 60 they are magically going to have all this free time and energy to do long intensive meditation retreats like bro at that age your biggest goals will be an afternoon nap and daily excercise. Also, the mind will be so deeply rutted into it's ways that changing anything will require 10X the work and effort. That said, for the record, Ralston is no late bloomer, he had his first enlightenment in his 20s and spend his whole life pursuing consciousness.
