Dude USA sucks and you listed every reason. Zero culture. Pay to play. Why do I need a bunch of dork guy friends to get laid? I barely like even having friends in the first place. Europe is superior in every way. Especially Eastern Europe. Holy crap it’s literally a garden of women and all the hyper capitalist maxing shit and hoeflation is under control. It ain’t just the US dollar that’s inflated. USA is the new Asia or India where half the guys won’t ever pull cause they been priced out. The average girl in Russia would make any normie in the USA literally die just looking at her but in Russia she’s just a normal girl you have a good chance pulling if you shoot your shot with her and have some social skills. I sometimes miss being single… there’s always that draw. I sometimes do wanna go back god there so many fkn hot babes in Europe and they’re basically all in reach I need to stop talking about this. I’m gonna putt y’all on the drill and you all will blow it up making Instagram posts and ruin it, not you specifically but the royal you. but tbh politics and money is a huge barrier as well, Russia is safe for now. To be honest if you are wanting to go through a woman phase where you prioritize picking up women, you are literally wasting your time if you aren’t in Russia or Belarus. The only other exception being Colombia for Latinas but it’s overrun to hell. Everywhere else you’re playing a losing game. Russia is the ultimate sexmaxx for your life.

Apparent results after 3 months is possible but your overall physique and look can still be bad. It’s worth celebrating losing weight but your look can be very mid and not sexy at all. It takes probably 2 years to truly go all the way (assuming you’re skinny fat) to have an amazing physique and look, and that’s with 85% consistency at everything, proper exercise program, diet and rest. Depends a good bit on foundation and what you start with. People fold a lot of things in with losing weight. I like to give advice assuming the person reading it has a pretty crap hand and isn’t muscular at all. Basically need to do weight lifting program that accounts for physique, not just a strength training program but usually there will be the same exercises and programming from the strength training program in a body building one + certain accessories. The issue with getting info only from the strength training community is they don’t account for physique.

Go read some books

I listened to an interview by him ages ago. I don't remember when, may have been as far back as covid or right before it. He's sorta a nerdy guy so he leans into like the intellectual angle, Pushkin poet wisdom from literature archetype, this type stuff. He doesn't have the look to run a more standard normie game so he plays to his strengths. Not a bad thing cause there are indeed a lot of beautiful women into this type. I'd say if you're a nerd or introvert you may learn something from him.

I'm just saying be careful because it is actually a lot harder to lose that fat than you realize. It can take years to really build an incredible physique where you are jacked, put on like 10kg+ of muscle, and have some crazy body composition where you also did a cut properly and go down to like 15% bf. You will be eating in a surplus if you are strength training most of the time just to sustain the training and build the muscle. You will have a shit physique for a long with a beer gut doing strength training. It takes a ton of calories. I've seen a lot of guys go into strength training and look worse coming out of it than they did going in. It's very easy to get stuck as strong fat and realize you've had a very mid physique for years and wasted time lifting heavy shit when all you wanted was to look good with your shirt off. Just a warning, my advice is not one size fits all and I am not saying strength training is bad altogether. Don't blindly think cause you strength training and putting on weight that you're headed in the best direction towards the physique you want so you can pull women better.

Yeah, great points. I believe I wrote a couple very extensive posts on LoA and intentions here. There are a lot of perspectives on it but I believe a lot of what is shared on LoA in the mainstream self help is misunderstood. LoA comes fundamentally down to spiritual alignment and clarity, which is fogged by misaligned or false beliefs. You clear the way, you align and you choose intentions, but you have to let go of all expectations on the outcome because continually wanting something to be a certain way vs how it actually is can cause friction. Having slightly delusional belief in oneself can be also very helpful, playful self delusion in oneself is really powerful as long as it isn’t used as evidence for a trial against oneself when one doesn’t achieve a desired outcome or live up to expectations set beforehand. Choosing the natural next step in belief that is authentic but most impotently clearing what’s in the way from letting the sun shine through. Once you are right within, you must really observe what’s outward, really really really observe it and inquire on it. How does it work? What is shaping this? You aren’t going to LoA yourself into being a world class athlete if you are a cripple. You aren’t going to LoA yourself into floating if you sink naturally when in water. You have to really look at the world with a clear mind and understand, starting from within and then moving it outward. This does not mean you stubbornly believe you know how everything works because you know one way how something works. Open mindedness is needed in this process. When you align with the Tao and are living in Wu Wei and move this understanding starting from within then outward onto the relevant things you believe are aligned with your intentions such as certain actions or choices or things you believe are right to do, you’ll see that from the unknown things unfold aligned with your intentions. Not perfectly, sometimes they may not meet your expectations, sometimes they may far surpass them.

Honestly, no. I did it for years. Strength training and the general community (power lifting, Starting Strength, etc) around it leads back far more often than not to an extended caloric surplus which makes you look just as fat as you are strong and doesn't prioritize things for getting a better physique and lean. Don't get me wrong, strength training can take you places and fitness advice is by no means one size fits all. I've just seen more guys go the strength training path leave fat than actually look better, end up looking either kinda big/strong but also kinda fat and the general strength training community lacks games and swag, spending too much time around them will not make you an alpha viking, you will look like a middle aged fat guy who is strong. But if you goal is to have a great physique, look lean, and pull hot girls I would not go down the strength training path first. Way more likely you'll get fat and look like a burly redneck or at worst just mid but have alright numbers on a squat or bench press in the gym which does not get you into a woman's pants. Looking lean and having a great physique will.

Yeah, there is a margin of error. The thing is it isn't usually a big issue if you figured in all the variables and have some basic food/diet/macro knowledge. Weekly / monthly averages is what matters. Rule of thumb stuff like choosing grilled meats, the foods you choose, sauces you put on your stuff, it's important to know about each thing you eat and how it's prepared. A lot of it comes down to where you are located, what you choose to eat and what restaurants serve. I more or less know my environment pretty well and the food I encounter, which can either help or hurt you. Sometimes the path or least resistance goes in the the wrong direction so just by tracking food with AI shines a lot of awareness on all of it and all the habits and choices. Sometimes changes are connected to 2-3 other lifestyle things that need to be worked out first.

Ok I posted originally in this thread but I have to update my original advice because what I said is part right. I’ve been using Claude to track my calories and it’s excellent. Tell Claude you wanna lose weight, take photos of everything you eat and give him good descriptions of it. You have to log everything, literally everything you eat and drink with calories in it. He will help you set your daily intake and macros and estimate your sedimentary burn. I’ve lost several kilos since last April doing this. if you have any questions how to set this up, let me know and I can give you the prompt and help you get on track. The second part I wanna correct from my first response is you will feel better doing this. Your physique still won’t be great, you will still need to lift weights to build a physique you want, but losing weight and getting lean def helps with energy and it is an improvement that gathers momentum.

I don’t think it’s something you find over something you create. Relationships are a lot more simpler than people realize in their fundamentals but we bring a lot of our own hang ups and stubbornness into them which creates friction and dissatisfaction. You meet a girl, you decide if she checks enough of your boxes, you decide if any of the ways you are incompatible are deal breakers, and then from there you relate. You work on communication skills and relationship sorta acts as a medium toward you being authentic and in your flow and aligned with your spirit.

I’ll check his new book out

Why were you in court Leo?

It is just where people center their love so it def feels like the familiar is being challenged and their whole world is under attack when they perceive anything that is out of their control which changes it. It’s simultaneously also a less conscious experience. Switch out culture for identity and self expression and you have what the liberal has built their house with. You take that away for a liberal and it’s the same thing conservatives are doing now for them. But I think a distinction has to be made here about who is more honest with themselves.

Went down a bit of a Reddit hole on him and apparently it’s been well known he’s a creep for well over a decade. I remember a woman I knew mentioning him DM her. He’s a perv demon who would use meet and greets for meeting underage victims.

I don't think it really matters. Relationships go the distance as far as your communication skills are developed + how authentic/honest you are in flow, and even that could mean the relationship authentically ends, it's no guarantee at all. Dating a lot of people at once can also reflect scarcity based beliefs or an imbalance. It's time consuming to date lots of people. I think culture also plays a roll. Seems like in more romance cultures like Latin America they are sorta slightly more open and flexible with this and secure in a more extroverted open relationship type of dating before getting serious. From my lens I obviously would not take any girl seriously if she is still seeing an ex or something like this. That's also usually a scarcity based belief system at play since people who are usually in their flow let go and welcome with open arms the unknown (new). So that's just my perspective, nothing I'm saying here is absolute and it's different for everyone. I've heard of one woman who got divorced and met her new husband like a month later and they've been happily married for 20 years now. Just do what's authentic for you. Test what works for you against your belief system, the rules that govern relationships and their dynamics are largely arbitrary and as unpredictable as a rushing river.

People who yap about seed oils being bad (their entire pov is based on a few Instagram reels they saw)

Please note that none of what I’m saying is meant to be taken as another proving ground or carrot on a stick to chase after. I’m not saying there are areas of my life I wish were different nor that life doesn’t have a lot of responsibilities which can be challenging, sometimes some really really painful things happen in life. Feeling bad about something is not a mistake. It is not some defect and it isn’t evidence you haven’t grown or have had real spiritual insights. It’s a signal for looking inward, a return, an inner unfolding. From a certain perspective if you feel unhappy and see that as what you are wishing to escape because it’s painful I could see this sense of unhappiness as an absolute that drives everything but I’m saying look just a bit beyond that, the space between it. It’s absolutely possible to call on this space with every action and there is peace and joy in it when doing so.

You need to live with integrity. You need to honor your preferences and look for the girl who matches your preference or accept whichever girl you end up being with. Do not act surprised and be insecure when there are things about her you do not wish to accept when they were clearly communicated to you in various ways 95% of the time. Then when the other 5% of lack of experience or knowledge rears its head you go and blame her for your lack of experience and discernment. Obviously any girl who is 27, hot and with tattoos fucked some other guys. You do not need her to wear a sign over her head saying that. You either accept that and stop judging your own value based on someone else’s life and continue to see her or you honor your preference for a woman that is different and look for someone else who aligns with your preference.

Let’s break this down to the fundamentals. Unhappiness is an emotion. You are the creator of your emotions, not the victim of them. Emotion comes from belief / perception. So you feel unhappy is actually “I believe, I want, I think…” example: “ I feel unhappy because I believe I don’t have enough success in life.” <- this statement implies you need success to be one/whole/love which is untrue. If unhappiness is driving you it means you have a belief about reality that needs to be examined. It is not a flaw or a mistake nor a measuring stick of any kind of your worth or progress, feelings are perfectly imperfect. It is an internal alert system that is trying to reorient you with truth. That belief which you cloud with a feeling label needs to be tested against truth. Obviously there’s more I can add here and how to do this, there’s more lessons and depth I can go into here on this, but I’m just saying this in relation to the thesis of this thread. So if you feel a certain way which you then add the label of “unhappiness” I’d examine why you choose to create that unhappiness. Cease to do that, and see what’s left. Stop deluding yourself and lying to yourself. Deep down you know what a jewel you have within and the power and responsibility it comes with. You really think unhappiness is all that drives humans and without it we would sit and do nothing?
