San Diego. I think if anywhere here is interested in a long-term relationship, this is an underrated city. Large population, good nightlife, health conscious, family values, beautiful weather, spiritual friendly, and relatively easy access to LA, Vegas or even Mexico. Cons: it's expensive as hell for most people.

Fair enough. But I'm going to guess those were all very platonic interactions. This was the first time you showed some serious intent and put pressure on her to make a choice about you. No that is not an assumption. It does not work. If your ex responded positively that way, that was luck. It will not work in the vast majority of situations, even with women who would have liked you eventually. Exactly like your co-worker. You can do what you want, but in my opinion you are shooting yourself in the foot putting so much pressure on her immediately.

@TheGod The more valuable lesson here might be that women just need time to warm up to you. You dumped way too much intent, too fast on your opener. That will never work 99% of time. Not even because she might not like you, but because she literally knows nothing about you at that point. Don’t get me wrong, I understand when you’re nervous it can actually be easier to just put all your cards on the table like that. It’s better you did the approach than nothing, as evidenced by the fact it still worked out. But it’s still way too much pressure, too soon for any woman to reasonably make a decision on. The best thing you did was that you took down the pressure and kept talking to her. She actually helped you out by giving you an excuse.

Okay, have fun.

Why not drop a bowling ball on your foot? There's an entire world of pain to explore. Deconstruct your need for an unfractured foot.

Assuming they are still sexual at all, there would be limits. That is not the point of deconstruction. Human life is not about infinite possibilities. Human life is extremely constrained.

That's because sexual orientation is not a function of development. If opening up to bisexuality has been powerful for you, great. I'm happy for you. But I would not confuse that for Tier 2 development. They are not the same.

Too far. Pansexuality has nothing to do with Tier 2 or advanced spirituality. Your sexual orientation is temperament, not development.

@Zenterus I'm with you on the daygame hate train. It's usually way too indirect and filled with social obstacles.

You just need experience and to observe what you actually respond to vs what you don't. Watch yourself like a scientist.

I've been focused on launching a project where I will be teaching Tier 2 masculinity and relationships. There's essentially no one else teaching this, so I'm excited about it. I will probably post more about it on the forum soon. It will be very niche, but very powerful for the right people.

Yes it's very strange. I find that survival tends to answer a lot of these question for you, whether you like it or not. The fact you want to survive at all means certain decisions are already made. You probably need money, to take care of your health, have some human relationships, etc. Basic things really. Some sort of art or creative project can also be meaningful. And of course pursuing deeper understanding of God, truth, life and consciousness.

Good take. In general, people tend to underestimate all the bullshit that comes with being a professional musician.

That doesn't sound right to me. The content itself was weak. That's not the fault of the reader. I will look at the above video though and see if it's better.

What is the purpose of this thread? This is a mixed gender space, not a male locker room. Feels disrespectful.
