@Eren Eeager The other Arab nations had a right to wipe out Israel after there was an agreement to split the land? I'd say it's more like Israel has a right to aggressively defend it's interests when there millions of it's neighbors that tried to wipe them out. The reason Israel stands is because it is superior to the countries in the region. When Israel loses that superiority it's game over. Can't make the same statement the other way around. There's more asymmetry to the conflict than lots of people here seem to want to admit

@Eren Eeager Don't forget the part where the surrounding Arab nations tried to wipe Israel off the map twice.

It takes two to tango. Hopefully there are some podcasters where both people bring out the best in each other.

@Zion Contemplate on why this moment as it is right now isn't heaven. Ask that question and see what arises. You will likely have emotions come up and then you can feel deeply into them and transcend them

@StarStruck Focus on healing your emotional issues around woman and yourself and then worry about dating and attracting woman. If you are an emotionally integrated human being you will have 0 issue with relationships

@StarStruck You are the one imposing on her when you approach. If you are going out of your way to bother someone you can't be surprised if they don't act perfectly towards you. I bet woman feel even worse than you when they are constantly approached by men they don't even value

Yeah this is a good point there are some places with a distinctively higher amount of attract woman. But when you consider soft factors outside of looks, like intelligence, class, consciousness then I think there will be a smaller number of woman that will stand out even amongst a group of attractive woman. Fundamentally you will end up with a limited number of exceptional woman, and there will be a similarly limited number of men capable of attracting them.

@Lyubov Let's flip it and think of woman. Do you agree there are a small number of woman who are incredibly attractive then the majority fall below that line to some degree. Who is going to end up with the small number of 9's and 10's walking around? What kind of men could attract them? Obviously it's not binary and there's lots of grey but obviously there is a hierarchy to desirability and dating. You can also think about it in business and success. How many man are capable of earning six figures or more? And how do you compare them to men who can't/don't earn that? There are lesser men and better men, whether you want to call it alpha and beta is getting nitpicky and misses the underlying truth

Dating a single mother seems like a raw deal. You will never be her top priority and you have to hope the children have excellent manners or you will have a mess on your hands that you can't even resolve. The worst is when woman act like it's not big deal and it shouldn't affect their desirability. @diamondpenguin What does it mean there are no alphas and beta etc? There are clearly a small number of men who are desirable to a lot of women, and also a lot of socially awkward immature men and everything in between

I'll record here if anything happens @Zeroguy Thank you for your tips

Hmm. I think woman here are more of understanding of living at home because Vancouver housing prices are so expensive. It's 2000 dollars a month for a 1bed room apartment. I have an entire basement suite to myself in a 3500sqft house. Thing is I only care about meditation and healing right now. All this stuff you are saying is stuff i'Cm going to do after I finish with my meditation and emotional healing. Crown chakra open and bliss flowing through body > Pursuing some random girl

@Zeroguy My mom bought a condo in the city, so in January I can live there if i want. It's a quality place. Yeah I guess I do need some interests. All i got is meditation. Do girls like the spiritual ego, I know some girls probably are really into zen dudes

@Zeroguy I got nothing. But overall I think I am very attractive. 6ft 4, very handsome face, and quiet personality at the least she might think it will be fun for summer fling/flirting

No she just started. And i'm not close enough with anyone I work with for it to be normal to send that kind of message. She clearly checked me out, looked me up and down, when I was waiting to check out. I am pretty well respected at my work, and there is literally 0 competition in terms of other people who may be interesting or interested so I can use that maybe. She works in different department but walks through near my area like 5-6 times during an 8 hour shift. I think she's a university student working summer job she had a sweater of place i went to law school. The thing is unless it works perfectly I wouldn't be bothered to pay the emotional cost. I am indifferent overall because I have faith in the process of meditation. I think I will have full summer for potential to approach her so we will see.

@Zeroguy There's a really cute girl at my work who was checking me out. But she works in a different department and Idk how to approach her without being awkward. I am working on integrating all parts of myself with focus on feelings during meditation. When I'm done with this I have no worry about attracting whatever I want

@Inva Show this convo to your wife. She will be really confident in her child's father. Find a teacher. You need guidance.

@Inva Go worry about your wife and kid. Not me and zero

@Zeroguy It got sad when he had a kid coming and acts like this. Imagine that being your father wow. God's problem, not mine.

@Inva I have no children and I have a rich family, I am doing just fine. When your child grows up think about how they will respond when they see their parent acting like this. You need serious help, luckily there is real path to healing and people with more patience than me to deal with people like you who are emotionally retarded.

@Inva Grow up. You have a kid coming and you're picking fights on a self help forum. Find a therapist or some kind of teacher and shut your mouth and listen and learn. If you don't change I feel sorry for your wife and kid

Very interesting

@Inva You have no idea what wisdom even means buddy. When you understand zero come back and say sorry. Who do you think you are? Don't tell me what to do. Block me if you are so fragile.
