I've got this energy buzzing in my chest and belly. It feels funny, similar to the energy of love, yet it isn't. For the majority of my recent life, like the past 5 years or so, this energy has been completely absent unless I'm triggered or in love with someone. It feels like I've been dead that whole time, and now I'm alive! I'm brought back to life. It has not been there, that's for sure. So, I wasn't unaware of it. It simply wasn't there, but now it is. And today is the first day. It's not a fearful energy, nor a loving one. Just raw & pure energy. Power for Will. I've been robbed of my willpower for such a long time, and I have missed it so much. I haven't been able to be properly disciplined during that whole time. It was just me, the weak me, neurotically fighting in vain with all my strength against the big stream, or surrendering and being swept away. I was stuck between either of the two extremes. I couldn't handle both. I couldn't find balance or the middle way. Until Now! I was nobody, and Now I am somebody! Was there a blockage? And did it finally open? I don't know. It is still a small kindle, and I don't want it to be put out. The feeling is still not overwhelming, although I want it to be. I want this energy to grow more and more everyday. I want to nurture it, and keep feeding it. It's teasing, and I like to tease. It feels good, neutrally good. So natural! It feels like Life!

If it's not a reward, then withholding it is a punishment at least. Think about it from the perspective of an unattractive guy that wants to have sex. He's nice and everything so he presents no threats whatsoever, but he's still unattractive. How do you fix that? Does he not deserve having sex? Should he just bite the bullet and stay a virgin forever? Or should he become aggressive and an asshole? What are you suggesting exactly? A "nice guy" cannot change overnight, it takes practice. And so here we are.

And this is your imaginary account lol? Unless you want to remove them, what's the difference?

May I ask why do you want the old account?

Don't make wisdom an ideology. There's no difference between the wise and the fool except in your mind.

Communication.

@Hulia Sorry, I don't participate in online surveys

Be honest, but don't be gross. If you don't want a serious relationship, don't lie and say that you want one. Be clear about your intentions, but also be smart about the packaging.

@Hulia Nah, I just want to differentiate myself from Trump as much as I can lol.

Wanna trade? ??

@Hulia After reading the replies here, I'm thinking to myself: Why even bother lol? Let them discover how attraction works on their own, cuz in reality, nobody's advice is gonna teach them anything. The teachings themselves are the obstacle, and whatever you say will be interpreted to a logical mechanical process in their minds, so it's rather pointless imo.

Sure, that's what enlightenment is for. Of course, the word enlightenment is also an umbrella for many other things, such as: Shadow Work & Emotional Healing (Inner Child Work). Self-esteem work. Exposure therapy. The Sedona method, compatible with Shadow Work. Journaling, very important, ime. Shamanic/Holotropic Breathing. Psychedelics, I haven't tried them personally, but some people suggest that they have healing powers. Practicing self-love, as in taking care of yourself and putting yourself before others. Improving boundaries.

Can you elaborate more on what exactly you're taking into consideration and I'm missing? Cuz I think making a video is a positive gesture too, since it can motivate others to do the same, or more.

Dude! She cried and hugged him out of pure love probably because no one else loved her like that before. At the very least, he made a positive impact on her.

No

@Karmadhi Nobody said there aren't challenges. You can't get laid if you don't approach. People with poor personal skills cannot approach, and therefore cannot get laid. Doesn't matter the context. If you choose the pick-up route, you will have to approach and develop confidence and charisma in order to be attractive. The same challenge you will face in social life. You have to go and talk to the girl that you like in order to get her. If you have no confidence in yourself, you won't succeed either way. Nor you should wait for her to approach you and confess her attraction towards you. There are things that you can't learn except from experience. whatever advice Leo or anyone else gives you, it won't change your life unless you apply it in practice. You can't get laid telepathically. And you have to be willing to accept rejection. Just go out and meet people, and you will get laid. It's guaranteed.

@Karmadhi That's not quite correct. Don't make a victim mentality out of Leo's advice. When Leo talks about his pick-up experience, he's specifically talking about the context of going out and meeting girls through the cold approach method. This is very different from, and does not apply if you keep a circle of friends. If you have social connections, you won't need to make hundreds of approaches, rather just a few. You will be recognized by your community, so your achievements will speak for you. You'll just need to be there and talk. Pick up is not the only way to get laid. In fact, it's probably the least efficient way. Actual social connections are a lot better and guaranteed to work, and it's a lot faster. But the challenges are similar.

Because they have radically different values than him. There's a story about a magical river that once you drink from its water, you become insane. People started drinking from it and gradually everyone became insane, until there was no one sane there except the wisest man amongst them. He was very careful and didn't drink. He thought that being sane would be better. He even thought that his life would improve if everyone was insane, because they would not know how to think properly, and so they would naturally follow his wisdom. But you know what happened? There's two different scenarios: They demonized him and killed him eventually. They left him alone, but then he became isolated and felt lonely. Either way, he became insane eventually, because ,,,,, drum rolls ,,,,, Being sane amongst the insane is insanity.

@Raphael I don't know what you mean by the word absolute within this context. I'm saying that if you're hungry, recognize that you're hungry. Don't lie to yourself and others and fake fullness. Similarly if you're intelligent, recognize that you are more intelligent and developed than the average person, at least in certain areas. This recognition may not seem significant at first, but it's very empowering, and counter-intuitively liberating.

@Karmadhi Actually she's making a very valid point here. You don't have to force yourself to fit into the "alpha" archetype in order to become attractive. You can be introverted and attractive. A lot of girls vibe with that kind of guys. But you have to have a good career and good education etc... because otherwise what do you have? Even you would not want to date yourself if you're just an introverted loser. So having your survival figured out is key. Once your survival is figured out, you won't have much trouble with getting laid. But before that, you will struggle a lot, unless you are a PUA. So that's where pick-up advice can be helpful.

I agree ??

@Hulia The BTS wear make-up. So there.

You aren't discussing with tier two minds, so naturally that should be the norm. People at tier one value survival/ideology, not being/truth. They cannot comprehend what being is or how to value it. Hell! They don't even recognize that they value survival. They're completely blind to their identity, so you shouldn't be surprised.

Because in a sense, you are, actually.
