Just looking for some support fellas We went on one date, had a good time. Went back to her place and were very close to having sex but she was adamant about waiting (we teased each other though etc). Next day great vibes, she sent pics to me she took on our hang. The following days we chatted, she used my tune in her social media post and we had an overall "connection-type" communication going. She went away on a work trip, I went away to my home country for a week (she said she wished I could bring her). But after these three weeks when I'm back in town she says she recently met another guy, must have been literally during the week I was away. And she wants to see where things go with him instead. Dafuq. Not heartbroken but guessing what should I learn from this?

@Applegarden8 Thanks for the tips, luckily I'm meeting others as well. Was just surprised that she ditched me so quickly

@meta_male Yeah that's a fair point that they often speak with what they feel in the moment, which can shift.

@ExplorerMystic I didn't create any fantasies, brother. But yes even if she comes back she's done in my mind:)

@Leo Gura Hell we even briefly used our hands on each other the first time we did hang, but she was adamant.

@Leo Gura haha we were gonna meet once more before I left and I swear to god we would have had sex that time🤦‍♂️ But I needed to get a costume for a party so couldn't make it. No regrets though I pushed it as far as I possibly could when we did hang. That said, upcoming dates I will try to be savvy about actually getting to the point of having sex and know that this can otherwise happen. I swear I thought this one was in the bag before she ditched me.

Ronnie Coleman.. won Mr Olympia many times and only worked out 45min-1h per day.

@Leo Gura The implosion was so strong that many considered it unlikely to find any remains.

Currently reading this amazing book by the american doctor, who treats the optimization of longevity as a "sport". What strikes me is the importance of physical exercise for health and longevity. Being lowest 25% of population of Vo2max vs highest 25% of population Vo2max increases all cause mortality by something like 400%. Many jaw dropping facts like that throughout the book, and many concrete tips for putting longevity into practice. Anyone else reading it?

@Finlay Amazing, how did they move? I have seen one. It looked like a slow, very visible satellite/light-point. all of a sudden it changed direction somewhat and flew away at a speed higher than that of a shooting star - gone across the sky in a second or so.

@Leo Gura Here on earth any multi cellular organism will let single cells die when they fulfilled their purpose. Maybe these aliens and craft are like "single cells" of the greater alien civilization-"hyper organism". If crashing fits their larger picture/plan - why not?

@PurpleTree The stories I read from others with BPD family members, and some of the symptoms seem to fit.

I suspect my mother might have borderline personality disorder. Any people here on the forum with parents/family with diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder? What were your experiences like?

@Schizophonia So what's your preferred way to pursue health / fitness personally?

@Leo Gura What a shame! Extremely valuable resource.

@Thittato Could be. But let me make an analogy: A parrot can learn to sing melodies and speak, but these sounds mean something else for a parrot than for us humans. A human would interpret what the parrot is singing in a human way. Similarly in the case of an AI: We interpret an AI output (what it writes, draws, etc) with our human mind, but the AI's own "sense" / "perception" when making these outputs mean something entirely different for it. Effectively the AI "lives" in a different world than us, and will never actually "percieve" a humanity to kill or as you say "shake off".

This AI would perceive reality in a completely different way than any human would. Why do we assume it would even have any concept of a humanity to kill?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Leo Gura What do you mean people haven't experienced it?

@Thought Art Because we feel like soulmates. We love each other, understand each other and we felt like the love of each others' lives until this thing became our reality.

Long story short: Me and my GF have been together since mid 2021. In the beginning our sexual life and connection was good, but around Dec 2021 I realized an issue which I posted about on the forum. I can't make her cum, while with my earlier GF's I have always got them off well and had more sexual flow between us. I got the advice from @Leo Gura that this might be a 'her'-issue but to try and to lead her into relaxing deeply with me, and to try the Magic Wand (a sex toy) while if that doesn't work to consider leaving her. Since then I figured out that she most probably has 'Anorgasmia'. These issues went on and led to confusion and frustration for me, I felt there was no way to really make her 'let go' fully with me sexually. She didn't experience this as an issue but I did. After a while I got frustrated so I kinda stopped wanting to have sex with her, more easily lost my lust and sometimes even had arguments about or sexual habits. She felt judged many times and lost sexual trust for me. At this point she says that the thought of being intimate with me instantly puts her body into stress/anxiety and she really doesn't know if we can fix this anymore, we are close to breaking up. She is still attracted to me she says, we still love each other a lot but the thought of sex isn't fun anymore. I still believe we can fix this, because in the beginning we had a great sexual connection and we both loved it. We had good sex like 1-2 months ago so I know we can have it, so maybe we can get into a positive groove again and become playful about it, and rebuild the trust? How could we go about building up the sexual trust between us and make it playful again? Is it possible? BTW This is the old topic from Dec 2021

@integral This is gold, thank you.

We all have our "quirks". Don't worry, just don't act out on any urges toward children.

@Leo Gura Another aspect is at what age you are doing your training. Young children learn certain things dramatically deeper and quicker, sometimes essentially turning someone 'gifted' into a legit freak of nature.
