I'm reading books on systems thinking and strategy. I'm not finished with this personal project but I discovered the value of deception within strategic thinking. To be fair, I wouldn't say I'm more naive than others. My brain is just very good at deception. This makes solving problems difficult. Especially if one has a strong victim ego. I was thinking about this: to defeat the enemy (deception) I need to learn how it works. I know Leo has some videos on it. I'm more interested in general theory of deception. Any good book recommendations?

Some real good stuff is coming out. I'm not really a paper book kind of guy. Almost have all my books in ePub unless there is no option. I have a small pocketbook but at the moment I'm in the market for a bigger e-book reader. There are some color e-readers out there but they are first generation and they are not that good. Ideal situation would be if my e-readers would sync up which means I'm stuck with Pocketbook and pocketbook is not great for pdfs.

So basically let your intuition do the work. Only consciousness work that is needed is to stay mindful of inner blocks and remove them. That is where the real work lies.

I'm 32 and when I flirt with 19 year old I feel the power imbalance. They think I'm 25 or something because of my health and vitality. I'm like "I'm better enjoy these young girls now that I look young". In couple of years I will probably get more grey hairs and look older. In that case I wouldn't fuck around with these young girls. It is not only age. It is also the esthetics imo.

They wouldn't know what to do with you. Probably take you to a prison. lmao.

Trump was a menace to the US. Biden will be a menace to the world.

Verbal part of game is tiny aspect of game. Focus on developing confidence and presence. I did that and opening a set will feel very different. Of course women care what you say but it is much more important that you send out the right non-verbal signals. Also don't focus on pickup but just on conversation as in human to human. If you do that, they can't reject you. If they are interested in talking to you could introduce some masculinity and see how she likes that.

what would medics do to help you?

Really? Why do you think women are picky? If they have sex with a stud who knocks her up and never wants to see her again, how is she going to provide for her child, and safety of herself and her kid(s) from random men?

Promiscuous would be a better word but it is too fancy for me.

I don't call them like that. English is not my first language and I couldn't find the appropriate word.

This is my exp too. Eventually the US dollar will collapse and they will say they were right all along.

Some women get turned on quicker than men: they are called sluts and they do exist. Nothing wrong with them. They have the right to exist too. There are not a lot of naturally born sluts because they got weeded out by natural selection.

@Eren Eeager if psychedelics is legal in your country, call 911.

Because those "saints" are just fools who talk in a certain way, so their followers can simp for them. They are wearing a mask. When the camera is off, I bet they don't talk in that way.

I learn well when I categorize knowledge. When I read a book I always see knowledge nuggets as something to store in my mental library. The trick is to categorize it as you gain it. Uncategorized knowledge is quickly forgotten in my case.

Kurds aren't the largest group without a country. There are many other ethnicities (in India) and elsewhere without a country.

Good one.

It is on the must read list: It is an amazing short book. Very well put together and the concepts in this book connect with the book Mindset from Carol Dweck. How I see mindsets is like this: according to your mindset you judge life experiences (such as successes, failures and effort). This book called "Tame your Gremlin" is focused more on your dark side. Your inner beast that a lot of people have a hard time taming. The book is basically focused making a distinction between your higher self (i.e higher observer of true self) and lower self (your Gremlin). It is a no nonsense book. I read it with two sits. It is a classic self-help style written book. Very reader friendly. I'm amazed it is not popular on this forum and elsewhere. 5/5.

How old are you?

@Thought Art @Thought Art thanks man, I will definitely pick up those 2 other books.

I have two big ones dangling.

@Roy that is true. Fear turns into excitement if you embrace it. I guess the only thing I worry (and thus not approach when I have the chance) about is my lack of smoothness, leaving too many empty spaces in the conversation and not leading. I think approaching a girl can be compared to dancing. Having couple of good moves that last couple of minutes is not enough. A good dancer is consistent for perhaps an hour. Last weeks I did do some approaches but this problem of not having a strong base is something I can't improve. If I just "be myself" as the popular advice goes I'm just silent and I think it comes off as boring. It doesn't work if you are trying to seduce for short term hookup. Girls want to have fun. Good vibes.

But there is Self, right? I thought "me" is just the universe.

My advice is to look for a nice guy, not the most attractive asshole that you might find attractive. About the gym: guys don't approach you because they have been told to leave women alone in the gym. If a woman wants to be approached by me in the gym, she has to give EXPLICIT signs that she is interested in me.
