Perhaps in part. I have a different perspective. I think it comes back to parts of our psyche getting traumatised in childhood, and then staying in those traumatised states beyond that state being useful. When challenged, these people may have a better experience of life. However, the same parts that were traumatised remain traumatised, and the mental health 'disorder' (I prefer adaptation) continues to fester. Reality is still percieved through the lens of trauma. However, people are now better at meeting their needs within that trauma paradigm. However, to my mind, the real game to play is to get out of that trauma paradigm. Otherwise, imo, you are simply playing a rigged game.

@Thought Art Good luck dude. Ye I agree with @Bob Seeker. RSD stuff still has a lot of value tho imo.

I think so. Think it can be a great experience! And really reshape your view of the world and your relationship to it. As well as a tonne of fun. However, I think it can also be escapism. I know someone who spent their 20s and 30s using it in part to runaway from their home life. I think a depth psychotherapy would of been better. So, I reckon as long as someone doesn't use travel as their sole means of healing, it can be great. Its a bit like doing pick up. It can be awesome. However, its important to keep in mind that it won't fix people's inner issues.

Dude I'm literally just replying to your replies to me. Didn't mean to trigger you

I agree these are not Viking times. However, the objectification is still present.

I don't understand

Im honoured

I'd look into working to resolve unconscious conflicts you might hold. It might be there is an child like part in you that is frightened of being successful. So, it might be that you are actually in the exact position part of you wants to be in. A depth psychotherapy might help you. Another thing might be that you are neurodivergent in some way.

I will add tho, I think there is a gap in the way Leo teaches pickup. I think it can be damaging for really traumatised dudes to get into pickup. They need a depth psychotherapy first, imo.

I disagree. However, the impetus is usually a subtle one, imo. Here's a way it could work. You are socialised to believe you are good enough if you achieve X. You are socialised to believe that getting girls as a guy is a way of getting X. So, you come to view girls as a means of achieving X. As a means of fulfilling your needs. Women thus become objectified. However, on another note, its a brutal cycle, because its a pure stage orange paradigm re acquiring fulfilment. Because, Materialism (alone) will not bring fulfilment/ happiness.

I'd say that is because it threatens your core beliefs about your relationship to reality, and the way you've been socially conditioned.

Okay dude, keep sipping your copium. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

You'll continue to unnecessarily suffer until you realise all parts of yourself are demanding of love, respect and protection

My dude, this is a perfect situation for practicing. Go work on self-amusing. You don't want to sleep with these people, so just go practice socialising without having an agenda.

I tend to think: emotionally repressed.

@PurpleTree I think they' suffer economically a lot. There country is built upon corruption. Take out the corruption and you gut the system.

Today in: My propaganda is better than yours

can't wait for leo to drop a lookmaxing video

Here's my perspective atm. Overcome your traumas. Associate with healthy people. Leave toxic life circumstance and people. Make an earning doing something you like, and helps other people. Maintain physical health.

If you approach 1000 girls but every approach you literally vomit on the girls, you aren't gonna get laid. You learn the theory, and apply the theory via deliberate practice, then you get results.

I didn't mean the opposite. The impetus to become a player is projected by society in subtle ways. I.e. movies, marketing.

Ye dude, I reckon all these guys have mental health issues. You become obsessed with status and hierarchies as a result of trauma, and a society that tells you that you can only get your needs met by being a player. Leo's vid on PUA is useful. All these guys are stuck in the idea that materialism will fulfil you. They need depth psychotherapy or meds (if they have adhd)

The IFS institute are the main IFS therapist/ practioner trainers. They have three levels of training. The most trained being level 3, and least trained being level 1.
