My last breakup kind of disillusioned me about relationships, I thought I would derive more happiness and satisfaction out of it but in the end, especially after initial attraction wore off after years, I was a bit dissapointed, I was yearning being single again deep inside, but I was in denial about that. And since my last girlfriend was checking most of the points I'm looking for in a girl, and still I found relationship not that satisfying ultimately, I'm now taking a break from it all, getting my shit together in all the areas of life, that includes improving physical attractiveness, to not go off topic too much. I want to find meaning and satisfaction while single, alone, do Consciousness work in more hardcore ways to know myself better, realize root causes of my attachment issues. Not to even mention getting more fit and stuff like that. So to answer your question now, my ideal dating life would probably include some abundance and multiple partners (not simultaneously) to gain more experience dealing with the feminine side of the psyche, I don't want wife or kids so that filters many girls around my area because most want settling down, which I don't want to at this stage of my life.

@LordFall Good luck on your plan, sound exciting!

Are you doing that for them or for you? Honestly. Are you really improving your appearence to satisfy your partners or meet your needs?

What kind of science? Who did the tests and how? Also, can you even change those variables? So if that ratio is off for you, could you change that? And how?

I don't like how this looksmaxxing trend is becoming another cause for anxiety and psychological attachment in young guys, over-focusing on their looks and devoting their whole energy to overthinking every minor detail in their appearance, can that really be a source of satisfaction in life? Should we be focusing this much on this aspect? Sure, losing weight, building muscle, dressing up sharp, grooming, basic hygine, etc are all good, even a hair transplant, those things make you feel good about yourself. And I think that's the point, it's to boost your self-esteem and confidence. But obsessing about jawline? Doing unnecessary surgeries to change facial structure? Bone-smashing? Joining a community and ideology that promotes and positively views all this? Come on. And yeah, if you are fat smelly dude with a messy beard and spider-man tshirt, yeah, that should be changed, if we are talking about changing that to optimize yourself for dating more attractive women, I'm all for it.

Isn't taking care of your looks a no-brainer when it comes to dating? Losing weight, becoming fit, proper grooming, buying clothes that fit, fixing teeth maybe, etc. Why are we framing that as "looksmaxxing"? I don't like this idea of maxxing because what are you maxing towards? Some Clavicular ideal?

What kind of an addiction? How did that happen?

What do you think is more important in life, Awakening or development?

I liked it a lot, it's a really well crafted series. If you liked Predestination and time-travel theme in general, it's a must-watch.

@Leo Gura In the "Civilization Is More Intelligent Than You" clip, you mentioned that you don't like AI. What are your main criticisms of it? Do you dislike the technology itself, or is your issue with the way tech-bro CEOs portray LLMs as AGI?

Have you seen The Dark? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5753856/

Questioning oneself and one's intelligence itself assumes an above average abilities and self-awareness, which is in question in the first place. Proper education would help fixing that issue. Also helping people grow up in their developmental levels. But there's lots of factors that come into play when it comes to the reasons why most people aren't able to do either of those.
