Damn, that's pretty lit.

@Leo Gura If the world's most successful people are lost in delusion, why is this necessarily "bad"? If they are living very successful, happy lives but are cut off from "truth" because of their endless success - why is this necessarily inferior to living a life of truth? Why would someone in this situation want to break out of the delusions and seek truth - what would be in it for them?

Yeah that part was stupid, but everybody has blind spots. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Did you watch the whole video? To be honest I didn't really understand a lot of the technical stuff he was talking about, maybe some of it is right and some of it is wrong - but what I DID notice was the underlying philosophy behind everything he was saying. The whole model he was describing seems to be rooted in a philosophy that is much more in tune with the way that reality works according to spiritual teachings - balance, oneness, etc. For instance, the periodic wave of elements he describes basically says that all of the elements are actually the same one substance but it is being perceived in different ways. Here's my understanding of the whole 1x1=2 thing. Obviously, yes 1x1=1 in our current mathematical system. But he is arguing that this entire system is based in bad fundamentals that don't align with the natural balance of the universe. So what he's saying is that we should create a new system with different fundamentals - and this will allow us to do things that were not possible under the old paradigm.

Yes, I think that is how the universe that we are currently experiencing operates. We are drawn towards the light - we are playing the game of finding our way back to the light. But here's an interesting perspective I've been pondering recently. Imagine that there is another universe that operates in the exact opposite way to what you described. A universe in which the goal of the "game" is to move towards the darkness.

Maybe everyone can do it, but it just comes more naturally to some people. Like, if you spent a lot of time training yourself to do it, maybe you'd eventually be able to do it.

While I realize that Owen sometimes exaggerates things, I think he does this to reach people that are stuck in a deep hole of apathy, to help them jolt out of that state and take action. Also, he doesn't claim that looks don't matter. I've definitely heard him say that looks matter, just not to the extent that people think they do. I've also heard him talk about how his looks do hurt him but he makes up for it with good "game" - because he can't win if he's playing in the same "lane" as the conventionally attractive guys, he creates his own lane and wins in that - that is the core of his "game". Isn't this very similar to what you are saying?

But how do you know this though? Unless you know him personally, it seems like you're just guessing.

The issue is they put the shorts right in front of your face so it's tempting to click on them. It's like if you go to a restaurant and don't order the ice cream but the waiter comes and puts ice cream on your table right in front of you anyway. You are more likely to eat it because it's right there. I found that once I disabled YouTube shorts, I stopped watching them completely. Out of sight, out of mind.

Here is how to remove YouTube shorts on iOS: Go into your YouTube app and there will be 4 YouTube shorts showing up on the homepage. Click on the 3 dots and click "not interested" - do this on all 4 of the shorts, so that all of them are gone. When you refresh the page, the shorts will be gone. Even if you close out the app and open it again, the shorts will be gone.

Great job dude, keep it up! It's cool that you've decided to not go out specifically to daygame anymore, and instead just approach if you see a girl that inspires you as you move throughout your day. I think when first starting out with daygame, it's important to specifically go out and approach a lot of girls to get the reps in - that's exactly what I did too. But now that you know that you can do it, you can take a more natural approach and only approach girls who you genuinely feel inspired to approach. In general, I've found that these approaches tend to be better too because they are coming from a more authentic place.

Baggy pants are back in trend right now.

Looks similar to the alien in this video from 12 years ago -

There's no magic time. Just do what works best for you.

I understand why you feel that way because I'm in a similar situation - I've approached probably thousands of girls over the course of the past several years - way more than most men will ever do - and while I have come close a handful of times, I still haven't really gotten ANY results. Which is so fucking frustrating. But what keeps me going is the inner growth I've had. I keep getting thrown down onto the ground but each time I get back up, I'm stronger than I was before. Every now and then I get a little bit depressed and I'll have to process some strong emotions that come up. But that's just part of the journey. Just keep on going!!!
