What traits or characteristics are common in successful people? Like, let's define success as someone with very high income and social status, (not actor or sportsmen, please), a Harvey Specter like (or a female equivalent of him) person in my mind. So, what are the traits that are common in this type of people? Very high IQ and high Conscientiousness? Luck? or other traits that I don't know What traits or characteristics are common in successful people?

Just think of it. Women are wizards. They get wet without water, bleed without being injured, make boneless things hard, and bring new souls into this world from a portal between their legs… Pure magic!

Since the age of 2, about 98% of the people in my life have been women. From an early age I learned a shit ton that most guys learn about women as teens or young adults, and for that I will always be grateful. When I’m around women, I feel at home. I don’t feel judged because I don’t watch basketball or football, nor do I really ever feel like I’m being sized up or competed with. I can just sit back, relax and tell them why Jason Momoa is hotter than Henry Cavill. And yes, I’ve actually had that conversation several times. The answer is and always will be Momoa. Now, this isn’t me trying to say that women are better than men, not at all. Men are fucking amazing and I love being a man myself, but I truly, genuinely, with all of my heart, love the fuck out of women.

If one has a girlfriend and still watches porn ,is it considered cheating ? I know I want to have a girlfriend. But I don't wanna give up my porn habit for her . When you see someone doing something, or imagine yourself doing it .. your brain does not know the difference between reality and fiction. It should be treated as cheating. But many porn addicted men get defensive, feel guilty, and call women insecure prudes.

Same here .They didn’t teach us about same-sex relationships. I had to explore my gay side with a random dude who I met on the street. Here In India there is a lot of homosexuality going on and the government knows about It but doesn't do anything about it . Because the guys are sexually suppressed.so they end up having sex with each other . We had human reproduction taught as part of the biology syllabus back in 2013 when I was at high school . Although they taught us the ‘mechanics’ of the act, nothing was said about contraception or gay relationships. I learned about contraception a few years later, when I got myself into pornography I went to middle school in white, rich beachside town, full of kids who thought they were better than others because of the way they looked or dressed or because their parents’ divorce was not as bad as the alcoholism and marital issues of everyone else’s parents. But like I said They didn’t teach us about same-sex relationships. But i remember vividly: I was in a class in high school .. and the professor was teaching us Reproduction. I'd always been a bright biology student, kind of a teacher's favourite, which gave me the license to create all the ruckus I wanted in class. Sir was discussing spermatogenesis, and asked us if we had any doubts. Not sure how, but I ended up asking him how can we increase our sperm count ? . And The whole class burst into laughter. But wait there's more! This mischievous friend of mine answered the question before sir did. “Eat toor dal.” Not sure how legitimate that is. But the class sure was fun. Even sir couldn't stop laughing.

In this video some neuroscience experts claim that we don't have access to the real world as it is . "The thing in itself " as Kant calls it . We don't have access to that. But only our senses that give us a distorted filtered perception of reality behind the scenes. This is completely foolish and precisely backwards . All these first person experiences (colors.. Sounds.. Smells.. Etc) are NOT secondary to some underlying explanatory models that you imagine underneath them (photons light.. Frequency or math equation etc) these are just explanatory tools to help navigate the experience and create technology etc. But they are not the reality. The reality is the so called naked perception exactly as it is. And it's not other than exactly what it appears to be.

The "observable universe " is certainly finite, and indeed we know approximately how large it is. It’s very large ..literally incomprehensibly so to human intuition, in fact but still finite. Current cosmological evidence suggest the entire universe is isotropic, spatially flat, and infinite. One thing can be said for sure, what ever is out there is MIND BENDING All along we are trying to put bounds on infinity . Can't be done .

Let us suppose the universe is infinite in size. This is certainly possible given certain facts we know about the universe and its origin. It is often said that the universe started with the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. There is substantial evidence for this event. But you asked how it can be infinite? This gets into the realm of speculation but Einstein’s theories say that our universe is a manifold which is just a fancy word for a shape with certain mathematical properties. This theory admits that our universe could be just one part of a much larger cosmos, a bubble in a much larger cauldron so to speak. This is mathematically possible while there is no evidence for it. We cannot see into that outer cosmos by any known method. That outer cosmos would be outside of what is called the observable universe and thus not observable to us. Because of that the universe could be infinite but appear to us as finite

May i ask you in what context are you saying this? (To whom are you saying this or as a response to which post )?

Yes I agree. When you die ,the whole world will die with you. Eternity is a blink of an eye .

@Breakingthewall yeah, well, so we both are having an experience simultaneously and not that I will live your POV in a different lifetime?

So what's your opinion on other people being real vs imaginary ,which seems to be a trendy topic here in this forum ? Are you conscious that you are God? Are you conscious that you are the only one that exists? Or does other people have consciousness? What's new did this experience teach you?

Well..im not sure if want to marry . I want to be able to fuck as much diversity of women as possible. Being a single man is like being a free bird.

I haven't lived out a lot of sexual fantasies when I was younger, I had an extended phase when I would go to prostitutes and occasionally ask them what kinks they would like to offer and tried a lot of these. As for fantasies I have not really tried out, I can say thought about double penetration sex, maybe that is a fantasy I missed and it certainly not a thing I would suggest to my future wife.

@Razard86 We’re well into the realm of pure fantasy or science fiction or religious belief here! have a nice day ?

I'm not doubting for the sake of doubting. Although nothing is stopping me from doing that . Im a truth seeker .one of the hardest issues I'm facing in my journey is the question of death. And what comes after death . So I listen to anyone saying they know . You claimed to know. But was unable to provide evidence for your claim . Which actually supports my point. Reincarnation is a BELIEF. Like it or not . There is no reason to believe in it other than hopes and wishes. They make for very poor belief structures. It makes no sense to waste thought on things that are nothing more than imaginations for which there is no evidence or way to test. Maybe there is invisible undetectable magic man in the sky ruling the universe through physics we don’t know or understand, or maybe its a giant inflatable purple cow, or may its a trillion dust mites with collective brain on an undiscovered chocolate planet or maybe its a hazelnut planet with…..get the point? I don't want speculation. I want fucking facts . Because I'm fucking serious about this work .

@Razard86 you just changed the subject I'm not talking to a "myself " because I'm not schizophrenic. There isn't a me and a a myself to talk to . I'm talking to YOU. All I did was innocently asking for evidence of reincarnation. And you didn't provide one . You just came up with his idea that you gonna live the same situation from reversed positions .but I ask you HOW do you know that for certain? Because I don't have the same degree of certainty.

@Zigzag Idiot I am curious to know what sexual education looks like in your country. Where are you from? * Who or where do you get it from? * On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being bad and 5 being great), how would you qualify the sex ed in your country? * Does your government promote a nation wide plan or does it depend on non governmental institutions (NGO) schools, etc.? * Do you think the people who teach sexual education are properly trained? * Have you learned about sexual education from other sources? Books, videos, talking with people you trust? Which one contributed the most to your knowledge? * How do you feel talking about sexuality related topics with other people? * Have you ever heard of "Ideología de género" or "Gender Ideology"? If you have, what are your views on that? * If you don't have sexual education in your country, what elements in your opinion contribute to not having it? I am interested in all points of view . These bullet points are just possible guidelines to talk about the subject. You can answer any, all or none of them.

@Razard86 Many people, including notable philosophers, stridently believe that we can never know anything for certain. That sets a very high bar for certainty, which we operate every day of our lives. Are you certain the floor will support your weight? Not 100% certain, but close enough that you are willing to step forward before testing the floor first. Imagine having to test everything before proceeding with the desired action. So, perhaps we can lower the bar on certainty to match what works for us on an everyday basis, rather than adhering to an impractical, even impossible, degree of certainty that some insist on before declaring certainty. Regarding the rebirth fantasy..every version of an afterlife is a story of wishful thinking unsupported by hard evidence. Our certainty about any kind of afterlife including rebirth, or reincarnation, is nil, yet the story seems to provide a measure of comfort for those who are unsettled, unnerved by the prospect of the death of the body meaning lights out for consciousness, totally and forever. I get it; death is ugly, death is nasty; it looks really bad and smells even worse. Death means deep sadness, unbearable grief, inconsolable misery for those emotionally attached to the newly deceased. What harm can there be in the invention of stories of an afterlife? That is for you to decide.

I never claimed that I know what happens after death . In fact my recent awakening tells me that death doesn't even exist. Its something you are imagining. So nah ..you ain't everyone. There isn't a "everyone " .there is only YOU .if we want to be accurate. I don't know what happens after death .I only know that I'm eternal and will exist forever. But the details escape me . Am I gonna reincarnate as a cat ?as a frog? Go to other dimension? Same dimension?....all of that is unclear to me .

What's your proof for reincarnation?

I am the type of person who probably has the craziest, wildest fantasies you could imagine. Most people wouldn’t even see that probably my wildest one so far would be an encounter with a guy .And while I am in a relationship with a woman, and I adore her more than anything, I always was curious about a man's touch. I have never been with a man. I fantasize about being with someone who knows what they’re doing, who can guide, and make me feel good. Someone who understands my body. It’s hard for me to achieve intense and satisfying pleasure easily through normal sex . It’s mainly how I feel, and what I crave. I crave a gentle, expert touch, soft gentle skin, and slow sensual lovemaking So even if it isn’t the ‘’ dirtiest’’ fantasy for a lot of people, it’s dirty for me.

@Zigzag Idiot thanks . I think that sex education should be an integrated component of population education programs in every country of the world . The problem is 90% of teenagers begin their sexual lives with porn and masturbation. I know I did .there is also this whole demonisation of sex that runs amok in third world and Conservative countries. What do you think? Should we teach kids in school about their sexusliy ?

@Zigzag Idiot The idea of porn addiction comes from the fact that watching porn can induce certain biochemical responses that also occur during sex, when being loved or in love, and consuming large amounts of chocolate. Typically, if it sets in during a relationship, it stems from dissatisfaction in the relationship, so it wouldn't be very pleasant. However, if someone been using porn as a crutch , the challenge is more in showing the same feelings and endorphins can be obtained just as easily with the a real partner. This can take time and therapy, as porn is easily accessible and lacks any potential issues with confidence or body type. Someone who has acknowledged a psychological dependency usually has had multiple things push them to it, so the challenges in the relationship will stem from those traumas.

I think that history supports the claim that communism is impossible, although I would say that unsullied democracy is also impossible, and for the same reason. As soon as an institution is set up, be it a political system or religion, those at the top will work to cement their positions and create a gap between themselves and ordinary people. The extremes of communist thought embrace an over-authoritarian stance, just as the extremes of right-wing political thinking do too. Not that that puts either side 'in the right ..how could it? Extremism never benefited anyone, that I know of, regardless of the detailed nature of the extremism (Bolshevism, Fascism, etc). So my question is: is it reasonable to condemn communism because its extreme manifestations are unacceptable? After all, the same objections could (and should) be made concerning, as another example, unconstrained free-market American Capitalism, an extreme form of right-wing politics.
