Did your ophthalmologist not give you any sort of explanation or recommendations?

The key is to come from a place of relative strength, not weakness. A little bit of loneliness is okay. But don't give away your power. She wants to see you as your magnetic self, not some desperate guy begging for her to like you.

The horror

The same way as when you didn't know that.

We do, and we don't. Both are true depending on how you look at it.

@Leo Gura I am interested but I'm curious about the legality of it. How can it be fully legal?

Of course. But most guys are way underperforming on the attractive metric. So focus on that first.

If you're full of hate, you got more work to do.

If your social media presence is good and conveys the right qualities, yes. Otherwise you’re better off not having one at all.

Kimmel has been a consistent critic of Trump for a long time now. Not surprised.

You're free to try it your way. I think those who do will be disappointed in the results.

That is highly atypical.

Because having a strong a social circle is highly attractive for women. Especially if you appear to be a leader and people really respect you. You can get away without it. But you’re making things way harder on yourself. For a long-term relationship, it should feel like she is entering your world that you’ve set up. You’ve got friends, family, a good career, a philosophy on life and activities you enjoy. Or if you don’t have those things, then you’re actively working towards them.

Came close to marrying a woman I met through cold approach. A lot of the guys I was going out with at the time also found a long-term partner. It's definitely possible, but it took me a lot of approaches and social circle building. Getting laid is not enough. You can have surprisingly weak chemistry with a woman and still get laid. Quality relationships require more.

That changes things a lot. She would not be doing that unless there was at least still some interest on her end to continue things. Just build a little bit of rapport and then shoot your shot.

I'd say it's unlikely to go anywhere, but it's also pretty low risk. You could take a shot through IG. I'd probably start with commenting on her stories if she posts those, just to get some familiarity going again.

Be careful you don't dream yourself as a misogynist.

It's possible from the perspective of infinite consciousness. But pragmatically you wouldn't know how to do that. The dream just dreams. The ego is not in control.

@MoonLanding Yup. You are dreaming your girlfriend and all her ex boyfriends. You don’t remember doing it because you’re doing it right now! The dream is always in the present. Any past you are thinking of is being imagined right now.

This ^^^. Calling is underrated. Text is too easy to ignore.

I agree, you don't need to take a heavy hand at actively filtering for compliance. I'm not suggesting that. Just be your best self, lead and escalate. The filtering will happen naturally.

Meanwhile, here in America we elect our Bolsonaro president again

And even in this story, her asking to makeout could be seen as misleading. You might think "if she wants to buy me a shot and makeout, clearly we are going home together". But that's not what happened, and there's a good chance she wasn't serious about going any further. Strong interest can easily be fool's gold. Much better than flashy results is just consistent compliance. That's the true determinant.

If he survives, I will be shocked. That was a clean neck shot. The article made it sound like the bullet just nicked his neck.

I expect the frequency of events like this to increase.
