@Yimpa I once had a great girlfriend who in retrospect could have been a great life partner. But, I… at the same time she did great things… cooked, was smart, was very kind to me, loved spending time with me. But, I just didn’t want it. So, it’s okay to let things go if it’s not right even if they have many great traits.

Nope not on first date. If me spending money on you, without me knowing you is an important criteria for us dating I will not date you. I am happy to buy popcorn and tickets. The ride home… that to me is a new concept. Perhaps the more I talk about it the more it makes sense to me. But… also, it’s weird. You are totally fine to not like that aspect of me, but that’s fine. I don’t care and I’m not here to please you. I am a great guy, but I’m not investing 100+ dollars into every first date. We go for coffee, tea, or even dinner I’ll pay, but… I am not going to pay for you going home. At least, for now. First date, I’m looking to spend 20 dollars, there’s little investment between us both and we see if we are compatible. I don’t really want to date a high maintenance and expensive girl. Some guys will, but I’m not looking for that right now. Future dates, yeah I’d help you get home. We have a relationship developing. First date, nope. Note: I admit this recent date when this girl asked me to buy her an Uber took me by surprise and really turned me off. I don’t have a lot of dating experience as an adult which is important to state. Most of my dating comes from high school and early years of university. So… I’m growing and adjusting through experience and self reflection.

@Sugarcoat I don’t really understand what you are going through. But, harmonizing your mind body is likely to help. As is reading about someone who went through what you’re going through. But, also because I don’t understand I’m not gonna say anything further. Stop grasping and grasping. You exist. Just go about reality as it is. You aren’t crazy, but maybe dealing with high stress, anxiety and even OCD. Just relax.

@Danioover9000 Yeah, but it’s also contextual. I can’t remember who made the video. But, it showed very well how in the context of that election Trumps techniques were more effective. They stirred the emotions more powerfully than Hilary’s more intellectual approach.

Isn’t there a documentary on this idea?

@Sugarcoat That book is about someone who went through something similar I think. I under estimate Qigong as well… could be worth a try.

I think there is a good book called “collision with the infinite” which may help you I also wonder if Qigong would help you relax a bit…

Incredible book not for only seeing harsh truths about human nature, but how to overcome and use your own dark side. It’s an enjoyable read full of Fascinating short stories, and delicious psychological and personal development theory and applications.

This is the song I had I. Mind for this speech

“I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed. The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I will persist until I succeed. Henceforth, I will consider each day’s effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today. I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. I will persist until I succeed. I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows. I will persist until I succeed.

@Fluran Perhaps, I always side on caution. I one time tripped, and then shortly after spoke to a fellow tree planter who had been very negative and nasty. My presence healed and radically changed him. He just needed someone to listen in loving stillness and acceptance. My friend who witnessed it said “That was Epic”…. It was the change in perspective and my study of healing that did it. So, I can see it being useful. I just stress danger ⚠️ ⚠️ Because, it really can be dangerous physically and socially.

@Display_Name Danger ⚠️ “oh baby, just the tip” that’s how it starts next thing you know your at work doing a full break through!!! (Joking) but you should be cautious.

Only you low quality post

@OBEler Sure, you be liberal here and I’ll be conservative. using the most powerful psychedelic while socializing is stupid and dangerous. That’s what my opinion is, partially from some experience I have. Just considering its strength. It’s very dangerous. When it comes to psychedelic use and the social domain, especially… use extreme caution. In general using a psychedelic should have a bit a fear attached

Danger danger danger ⚠️ With your friends just laying on the floor drooling “haaaaaassa……….. haaaaaaaaaaa………haaaaaaaaaa” 5meo ain’t that kinda drug.

Dangerous and dumb ⚠️

@PenguinPablo No The greatest salesman in the world goes beyond sales, it’s worth reading. and, I will be in sales as j continue to build my own business.

@ted73104 I don’t think so but, how to spot it

@Princess Arabia Me

It’s about social calibration. So, you act stupid because you are emotionally intelligent

Yeah but thats not likely. I may be wrong, but, how can that thing change the chemistry in your brain?

Okay, but notice that being gay naturally occurs as well. Therefore it's natural. Not every member of a population needs to reproduce. There are some species that have population variances I am pretty sure. Plus, reproduction isn't the only thing that animals do. Even if a gay people don't reproduce... Women give birth to gay children... and will continue to... naturally. Even if it's a deviation... It's not unnatural, and that isn't really an argument that being gay is bad. Don't know, I have met many gay men in my life and they all seem pretty natural to me. Lot's of fun to spend time with. Some even HAVE KIDS. Biological kids. We have tall people, short people, smart people, dumb people, autistic people, gay people, straight people, all kinds of people. People people dancing on the people purple hat cheata print dancin on the people...

@Yimpa I think thats true. I guess, we can add the ability to work through things, practice difficult conversations, conscious communication, and the ability to self reflect. I think a good guy in dating is also a leader. He knows how to be masculine and lead. He has a healthy integrated masculinity.
