Respect and valuing something aren’t always the same

I don’t know, both options seem to have a big downside for me. If a woman loved me but didn’t respect me I’d be unmasculine seeing her respect other guys more than me. If she respected me but didn’t love me I’d resent that she likes what I do not who I am. It also depends on the type of relationship. Friend, family, short term partner, long term partner.

1. That’s because they have status, social proof, and emotional connections. Also manipulation. 2. Sure, but the ones that do respect them don’t automatically want to sleep with them out of respect. Another example would be a professor or boss who they respect as an educator or colleague 3. Chasing validation and wanting fun isn’t the same as respect. If you see a girl who you don’t respect for whatever reason, like you think they’re unethical, unreliable, but she’s super hot and fun, you may still sleep with her, even if you wouldn’t many guys would, why would women be different?

That’s because the enlightened dude isn’t trying. The club promoter however has the job of trying to get women. Why do club promoters doing drugs help them get women? Because it numbers their self judgement and negative inner dialogue. The enlightened guy also has that naturally. When an enlightened guy tries he probably can do even better. Osho slept with hundreds of women. Its just that if you’re someone who put in the effort to become enlightened or became enlightened such material pursuits are probably of less interest.

The issue there isn’t sex is easy to get. It’s that they aren’t developing themselves or are still trying to use it to fill their emptiness or avoid confronting themselves. They likely behave like that because it was hard to get so they attached their self worth to it. Sex being hard to get is worse because now you’re spending all your time fixating on how to get sex instead of just viewing it as normal and self actualizing in other ways. Sex is easy to get for women yet that doesn’t result in women wrecking their lives in most cases, and if it does it’s usually some other issue.

“Women only love men they respect” or “women only sleep with men they respect” always seemed like nonsense to me. A woman can respect a wise old sage and not want to bang him. A woman can not respect some degenerate drug addled club promoter but sleep with him if she’s having fun A woman can love her husband due to their shared investment but not be attracted to him anymore if he became lame

Mark is the typical semi-natural guy who tried game but didn’t understand it so he just bashes it while saying his way is better but his way just has the issues game was supposed to correct or does the same thing as the game advice. I talked to someone who used to game with him and he said Mark did good because he had natural charisma and verbal wit. He’s also a tall white guy and even in the book basically admits he went after girls in his league. What he doesn’t get is just telling some guy without those natural skills who is talking to girls out of his league (either out of necessity, because his league is low, or ambition) to just be vulnerable and be himself is not going to work. If he just said the book was for complete beginners to take a minimalist approach to get early results, that’s fine, but he bashes the rest of the game movement and tells you to be happy when you plateau. The book has many examples where he bashes PUA advice but then later suggests the same thing but just in a more vague way, showing he didn’t understand that was the point of said advice. He also started this annoying trend

Get hormones checked. It may not be low testosterone. If it is low testosterone that is a health issue even aside from libido that needs to be addressed.

he always looked like that

If you’re not going to share it, this is a useless topic

I am sick of Mark Manson. He acts haughty and above everyone else, then gives the most basic no-brainer analysis and acts like it’s some profound wisdom but usually miss the actual issue entirely. He also constantly contradicts himself and has double standards but because he takes the non-controversial middle ground and tries to sound reasonable no one calls him out on it, but nothing he says is particularly useful as a result. I watched part of it, Mark won the debates but some of the manosphere guys did better than I thought they would. Still they’re defending a weak position and miss out on some lay ups to counter Marks points.

Practice weightlifting, yoga and metta meditation to ground yourself

I’m not quick to defend him, I just saw the full context of that video a while ago and what she said after and it was deceptive. I didn’t defend any of the other accusations because I am unaware of any evidence they are false.

That’s out of context, in the full video she asks him to hit her harder, she also later said she wasn’t abused, it’s a bdsm thing.

Then explain women who stay with deadbeat boyfriends and husbands for years

That is bad, you shouldn’t be getting recognized approaching people, you are doing it too much in too small an area
