Befriending and learning from guys who are good at talking to girls is also really high leverage

Found this pretty nice video of a guy doing 100 approaches Got mostly no, but got a few yes, despite having low game lol
-
it's hard to say theres so many variables. Id need a ton of context to know what happened. Could be a personality mismatch, maybe a social cue missing, maybe something you could change in your grooming, maybe girl is in a single phase idk. part of it is a numbers game, part developing social and flirting skills, part working on your self esteem, part working on your general attractiveness
-
maybe good looks (face, height, body), fashion sense + grooming, $$ and field of work, status, social skills + charisma + ability to flirt, emotional availability
-
Yeah I notice this too. Even can happen when you get money, status, skill. Can float your ego. I think its like a hierarchical thinking in humans head I don't have a full solution, but personally doing contemplation on the importance of equality, and deconstructing hierachies and that nobody is higher or lower has helped me a lot I think that's actually an entering point into stage green ?

No tips but I appreciate you thinking outside the box to help your client. Really shows you're committed to figuring out solutions.

totally get why you want him to realize his mistake, and it's only fair that he puts in the work to fix things. But at the same time, you gotta remember that a good relationship needs respect and open communication. If he's really sorry and wants to make things right, he's gotta understand why what he did was wrong and actually do something to change And I get it, you might want him to feel bad about what he did, but holding onto that anger might end up doing more harm than good. It could get in the way of you moving on and healing from this and could dmg him too Just my 2c- Let him know how you're feeling and how his actions hurt you. If he seems genuinely sorry and willing to change, then decide if you want to give him another shot. But if he just brushes off your feelings or doesn't get why he was in the wrong, id bounce Sorry in adv if advice is unsolicited

My favorite: Big picture: Videos on self-love Spiral dynamics Practical/success: Power of asking questions Massive experience is king How to contemplate (with a journal) Mindfulness with labeling What is wisdom 65 principles on the good life Epistemology: Science series What if reality is nothing but perspective? Holism Content vs structure How ideology works What it means to go meta Understanding relativism Meta-learning: Learning = observation = making distinctions = behavior change Damn I just realized how much gold homie put out. Christ

@Danioover9000 yeah could see that. Unfortunately what gets viral are toxic versions of a pov, even for the left. Which is what op is reacting to actually -
@CARDOZZO i feel that. same with India. A lot of people think it's just poverty

@Danioover9000 I'd love to see a healthy, nuanced example of a conservative saying that tbh. I've not seen that type of critique yet. Ben Shapiro, classic popular conservative, for example has a lot of bigoted takes mixed in. I'm not sure how far you can get with that ideology https://glaad.org/gap/ben-shapiro/ -

I agree with that post but not this part, that it's the pov of the conservative. Ur like critiquing progressives from above but Many conservatives are against the movement as a whole, they'll point to one part of the movement as evidence of the movement being negative as a whole. Basically throwing the baby out with the bath water, lacking nuance, like OPs posts. It's like a blue vs yellow critique I guess -

@Boethius ? sheesh good post On top of that, gave me a great idea on how to turn theory into practice ? -

Ah i see I think a lot progress was made i do think a lot of progress can be made. I don't think cultural acceptance is here yet Gallup poll 2022 says that 30% of people don't support gay marriage in America. Now that's crazyy https://news.gallup.com/poll/1651/gay-lesbian-rights.aspx And acceptance just started very recently, maybe in the last 10 years. Things like internalized homophobia, that takes a long while for everyone to be on board. It doesn't heal so quick -
It's a good point I was the same before watching Leo's stuff Severely lacking awareness, consciousness, morals, a scientific bigot etc. lol With no passion for philosophy and introduction to these ideas I was just unconscious af. Guess the mainstream perspective still is quite undeveloped

Honestly this is a great journalling question You can probably just journal, how do I love myself and come up with answers For me, it comes up as being easy on myself and giving myself patience and grace Just saying I love you to myself works great too, and also talking to yourself kindly as you mentioned Another thing that might be worth mentioning is leo said in a video that you can literally fall in love with yourself. Thought that was pretty cool at least for me bc that's a potential healing goal we can have But great question, much needed for my contemplation session

Are you touching her weird?

What is that you dislike about LGTBQ? I'm just going off your comments of not liking pride month, not wanting it talked about it schools, not wanting there to be gay sex etc. Genuine question nothing srs -
What do you guys think are the most important principles when you want to attain mastery? No wrong answers

I'm no expert on drag queen culture, but - don't let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch Let's say you run into a few over-the-top feminists, that shouldn't make you go all anti-women's rights. Or if you see a couple of people breaking windows, it doesn't mean the whole fight for black rights is wrong. Same goes for the LGBTQ+ movement. If something sketchy pops up, don't turn your back on the whole community. These groups have had it rough, with society and even laws pushing them down. It's important to remember that and understand the challenges they're facing. That's why we have these movements Just remember, no movement is picture-perfect. Idk if youre american but if you've ever read about the civil rights movement in the 60s, you'll know it was a real mess. Violence, rioting, crazy ideas, hate groups. But the core of the movement was important to understand in that black people were heavily discriminated on and that needed severe systemic change So yeah there's the core need for the movement and then there are parts of the movement that you can not agree with. But it gets weeded out in the long run I think -

@StarStruck Another thing; Tbh I bet they're projecting; Christians have been indoctrinating children for thousands of years lolll in hundreds of ways, some extremely abusive Some fun facts on how christians indoctrinated [in relation to school systems]: In 1925, there was a Scopes "Monkey" Trial, John T. Scopes, a high school teacher, faced legal consequences for teaching evolution, a practice that was against Tennessee law (teaching Christian world view over science) Until 1962 supreme court case Engel v. Vitale, Christians put Bible teaching first thing in the morning until it was declared unconstitutional (for trying to mix church and school/state) Christians have had a serious role in not teaching proper sex education for hundreds of years Dozens more A conscious stance is still pro lgbt in schools. But not the bad parts. But the stance is rooted first in pro. Just to teach it in healthy ways And what's funny is that the pro lgbt crowd comes from undoing indoctrination from Christians Also this is not true "teach them how to twerk and perform sexual acts" -
1. I vote America but any western country works. I just like America because America is very inclusive and accepting of all cultures compared to other countries bc its a melting pot. Particularly cities though. Rural areas are diff 2. Hm I know one of the ways is you can do computer science and have a company sponsor you. There are also consulting companies that can get you work visas and they will take like 15% pay for a year or so Or come on a student visa for grad school then pick a stem field that lands good jobs so you can pay off the debt A lot of people do this you just need to do research on what others do

Best hm. There are a couple great ones I honestly think Success principles - jack Canfield is great. It's just very comprehensive and almost all of the principles are high quality And I also love, creative visualization Think and grow rich is also a staple
