@ROOBIO I struggled/ struggle with game too. I am ENTP. Which is sort of an ambivert. I find it hard to work out what I actually disagree with in pick up and how much is just me wanting attraction to work in a way differently than it does. But i dont know, i haven't done pickup properly for more than 4/5 months at a time. I made some significant progress, but not that much so i can't really speak that well on the subject. I did notice that I stopped seeing women as so special the more i did pick up last time. There would be women who stood out to me, but women as a whole became less mythical lol. I'm sort of back to that mythicalising now again cos i haven't been gaming. I'm thinking of giving it another serious go again soon.

Can practice self-amusing. Like do stuff to make yourself laugh in conversation. Rather than trying to make other person laugh. Can make it lighter and more enjoyable. If you don't really like that style, can just focus on self-engagement. Notice when you start getting bored/ drained by conversation and try to switch to topics that you are interested in.

Thanks Errr I do a mix. Cos I'm in cybersecurity training at the moment, and my trainings use various virtual machines to teach linux. Currently have used Ubuntu, and Debian. Might be using some kali soon when I learn more about ethical hacking! I've only done basic ethical hacking so far but each time has been a thrill. That's cool you donate too btw.

Linux being free is mental. I only tried it recently for the first time, and its epic.

Nope

Great perspectives bro. Its great to have people on the forum who have really done a lot of great work in stage orange. Without strong stage orange development people really get into a lot of cope. Myself included. Being able to reliably climb skill trees is so key. I find it actually pretty useful to think in terms of video game ranks when it comes to skill trees. If you in copper (i play siege and that is the bottom rank), you need to find a ladder to bronze. Then a ladder to silver. Etc etc. People do get delulu and think that because they cant get laid in copper that the game is pointless. But really you gotta focus on climbing to that next rank. Its like a copper saying the game is too hard when they immediately play in a champ lobby. I get it though. Limiting beliefs and emotions can feel like facts, and you can get debufs from failure. I think once you climb one skill tree from being poor to being good, then your mind can really open up, and you get a roadmap on how to get good. For example, maybe you realise getting coaching is meta. Before that its understandable to have a lot of limiting beliefs and struggle to progress. Thats why its useful for parents to help their kids climb at least one skill tree growing up, i.e. theatre, sports etc. Otherwise, its easy to make an identity about not being the type of person who is able to be good at skilled things.

I know some pick up dudes who swear by his stuff

I actually agree with Peterson's response to the hypothetical. Also, i remember my legal philosophy tutor at university telling me that you can't just answer yes or no to questions. You need to say 'it depends' and define terms. So, there are people with expertise who also answer philosophical questions like he does.

Lmao

We are doing humble brags here. That is okay.

Niceeee. Time for some humble brags Proud that I: - Read war and Peace, - Went to one of best universities in the world - Was my university boxing captain. - Took full notes on two Yale online courses (France since 1871 and Intro to Political Philosophy) - Reached Gold V in Siege 6 (video game)

Bro you said most "most women are ruined" and then two sentence later said "The best you can do is just play the hypergamy curve". So I implied you were saying that because they have traits that make them low in romantic attractiveness they are ruined.

Banning prostitution is too much government overreach imo

Women's worth isn't dependent on what dudes find attractive dude.

LMAO

@Alexop I sort of agree. Makes sense that with more choice and less forced dependence women would be able to be better selective. But there is also a fair amount of bias, and emotional displacement occurring from various groups of women to men. Its not black or white. Just see anyone who says "Men are trash". If that were true, then some dude who has been in a coma since 4 years old is also trash. Which is obviously ridiculous. So obviously there is some level of distortion going on. But also if this were true that the singledom of men is caused by women seeking good men, then why would scumbags still be getting lots of girls? The sociopathic bully at my high school was getting all sorts of action lol. Also, good men did exist 70 years ago. Not every dude was shit. I don't see why people or yourself make such black or white statements, it needlessly takes credibility away from a valuable and honourable message. Feminism has been a very noble and valuable movement in many ways.

err that was all i had to say lol

Big issue is that most women's sexual attraction to corrupt men means that non-corruption literally gets naturally selected out.

That ignores the positives though. What about people who train martial arts to overcome ptsd so as to feel empowered. That sounds pretty conscious to me. Black or white takes are rarely right

calling himself alpha male and his wife beta female sounds very likely red pill inspired to me. To be fair, your chosen claim of "There are no example of known redpill ideological motivated killings and only a handful of incel / blackpill ones." is gonna be a pretty hard one to defend. Just takes one example to disprove it.

Fair points

Interested in doing the provoked urine test as per recommended in Leo's heavy metal vid. But not sure where to get it from in UK. Many thanks

relax pal

Its an asymmetry because female to male atheletes don't have a massive advantage over cisgender dudes. Contrast that with the male to female atheletes and cisgender women
