Some healthy takes on looksmaxxing

That's wild, thanks for sharing. I have couple questions though: Have you had any other spiritual practices before this? Or are you inclided towards mysticism by default your whole life? Because I think what you describe is unusual set of results after just couple months for a beginner. But maybe you're not a beginner. Do you practice other practices? Maybe some mindfulness meditation or something like that? Or just Kriya? And last question, what stack of Kriya exercises would you recommend to a beginner for his first couple months of practice? I am planning to also go into Kriya but with very little experience, I was thinking just focusing on Pranayamas for couple months only to integrate it and maybe feel my spine and the energy better, and then add additional practices if I feel like it like Mahamudra, Yoni Mudra, etc. Thanks again for sharing your story.

How do you manage having multiple girlfriends? Do they know about each other? How do you even find girls who are okay with that? Even having one girlfriend was sometimes pain in the ass, can't imagine more then one.

At the same time?

Do people really complain about not getting a girlfriend, or about not getting a kind of girl they want? Isn't most guy's issue just having a high standard? What would an incel say about that? Just watched the video, in the middle of it I was hoping it was AI Why the fuck do those people feed him with so much food after all that.

@jacknine119 Hey, fellow Georgian here, good luck with your venture. My friend also has a similar business, he does bike tours for tourists around the country, mostly in mountains. But it's a seasonal job, nobody wants biking tours in the winter, so it's mostly doable when the weather is good. He makes like 10-12k$ a season, not much. Do you plan to also have clients in winter time? Do you work mainly on Russians? There's so many of them around these days.

What's your day-to-day diet like? Like for 80-90% of the times, what do you eat? I try to lose weight while building muscle and here's what I eat: protein pancakes (protein powder, banana, egg) chicken breast + rice / buckwheat eggs cottage cheese tuna salad some fruit That's it basically. 1900-2000 calories and 160g protein. And on the weekends I might switch and bring in some variety, but still stay in these caloric range. What about you?

Finasteride famously has a wierd side-effect in some men that it affects libido and erections poorly. Would you take that risk? You'll need finasteride to be able to maintain transplanted hair as well.

So, not that great? IMDB reviews are pretty bad.

I've heared that finasteride (drug that keeps your hair on after transplant) messes up with erections and libido in general, but in small percentage of population I guess. A lot of guys take it though.

So Swedish pigs have tasty blood then I'll try it when I visit Sweden. What other Swedish dishes would you recommend?

That looks gross Is it tasty? Jesus, I just looked it up, it's literally pig's blood. 🤮 I thought the name was metaphorical.

Since that was my first and only girlfriend, after couple years I was kinda craving for different kind of experiences, like with other women. I wouldn't cheat, I would breakup much before that, but the craving and dissatisfcation was there. The mistake was on my part that I entered long-term relationship without much experience. Yeah as I think about it now, based on my current state and last experience, I'd also prefer short-term things for experience where both parties understand that this will not last forever. But again, as you mentioned, that framework is there and most people expect the relationship to fit that framework, but that doesn't really fit me at the moment. I also experienced that disconnection from time to time, but again, I'm not sure if relationships are the correct place to seek that intimate connection to things / people, maybe I should work on a spiritual phase of my life, which will allow me to have that kind of deep connection to everything, including people, and engage in intimate relationships from that place. That's still in question. At the moment my challenge is that I work full time (remotely with a good salary, but still), and other parts of my day is fully filled with activities that I think I need on my path the most at the moment, including some manual consciousness practices, building / honing my marketable skills to be on top of the market, reading / studying, working out, hanging out with family, stuff like that. There's just not enough room and energy to add relationship in the stack. But I think it's temporary, it's just a phase, which I think most of us need. Sometimes relationships are just distractions from the work you feel you need to do deep in your heart solo.

This has the same vibe This interviewer didn't expect this answer either.

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?

He's becoming a comedian.

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