LOOL Intense pulse light would be an interesting hobby ahahahaha. Nice tho! I like soccer too. My team is Chelsea.

Haha its Indian cricket league! Best cricket league in the world.

I eat snack bar, and some chicken bites for breakfast, with a coffee. For lunch, I am trying to have a chocolate Huel drink, and a relaxing drink. Dinner maybe a sandwich from the shop. Weekends I am a bit of a degenerate when it comes to my diet though hahaha. I laugh but it is important that i get a handle on it.

My team are RCB. Am curious if anyone else follows lol?

I get what you're saying bro. Makes sense. But I really want to make clear that I'm not suggesting you do that. I really don't have the success in this area to be giving out advice, besides some very basic stuff. Makes sense to me logically tho what you say. Wings REALLY helped me get started approaching too. Though, I was watching Leo's how to get laid video last night. And he did advise that if you are someone who is socially anxious, like with most people, that basic social stuff should be the first step. Rather than going from basementmaxxing to some club haha!

Haha fairs. I guess I was being too generalised in my comment. I might try that out actually. I've been struggling to get myself to give it another go. I tried one of Todd V's challenges around not being the first to break eye contact if you lock eyes with a girl when out and about. But have struggled to find a next step that isn't too daunting. But i dunno, i probably just need to get wings lol.

I get you. I was just making the argument that pickup is useful advice for a minority of men. But is too difficult to be a solution for most men.

Gang gang

I'd say yes, but with two exceptions. Firstly, it just sort of skips the beginner social skills stage. For example, most pickup doesn't start with you going to the local meetup and just practising making friends with others who are also there to make friends. It starts with you going to some bar that can be hella intimidating as a noob lol. And the social skills needed to have good interactions are higher. Its like learning swimming by your dad chucking you into the deep end of the swimming pool lol. Secondly, its all fixated around making you have social skills that help make sex from cold approach more likely. Things like relationships and friendship social skills are not included much. But i dont want to speak too much on this subject. I have struggled a lot with pickup in the past, have done maybe 10 months total of it consistently and am still low on the skill tree. So i dont want to mislead.

Pickup can be great. But i don't see it as a solution to men's dating issues. Its way too difficult to be a reasonable solution that will help most struggling dudes out. Its good for the minority of dudes who are willing/ able to put in the high effort and strategy to really transform their dating lives. Basic social skills help is a better form of general solution I'd say.

Yeah but there is a difference between the type of person who is persuaded by evidence such as in the Epstein files situation, and someone persuaded by the mere existence of a dark possibility, i.e. 9/11 inside job. Yes there is an element of inaccurate pre-judgment from the mainstream when it comes to conspiracy theories. It is wrong to dismiss things as impossible just because they sound outlandish. Conditional probability makes outlandish events very likely. However, it is also inaccurate to jump to conspiratorial conclusions when other possibilities also exist. Conspiracy theorists who make correct guesses about things are still guessing. For example, those who much earlier guessed what Epstein was doing. A reasonable person will take the dark possibility seriously but will not jump to it as a certainty.

LMAO

@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.
