lol, how do you know? And I'm not a big Peterson fan, but he is or was a practicing psychologist. He did earn the degree. You did not.

so Sam Harris is god as well then. Its a moot point.

Maybe you can legally call yourself a psychologist but it certainly is misleading. To become a clinical psychologist, you will need an undergraduate degree (four to five years of college) plus a doctorate degree (four to seven years of graduate school). For this specialty area, most people will spend between eight to 12 years in higher education

but, that's a title you gave yourself then too. And again Sam Harris did not give himself the title neuroscientist.

and philosophy is not the same as psychology.

well that's fine, but Sam Harris is technically a legit neuroscientist, he didn't give himself the title.

Leo, your twitter page says you're a psychologist, do you have a degree in psychology and have you actually practiced it?

also, has he been off meditating so much that he didn't get the memo that casual homophobia is not cool?

he's totally using straight up pickup advice which he claims to be against now. I don't think he's someone to take advice from on this subject. I get the feeling that the bullying tone he is speaking in is more the voice in his own head. It sounds like he didn't really get laid or have relationships till his mid or late 20s, and then he just did by using pickup techniques. Girls can smell it when your trying to use some technique like that...mostly I feel like you need to stop over thinking all of it. Dating is supposed to be fun for both people involved. You're supposed to just hang out to determine if theres chemistry. Honestly Leo here sounds like a douchy horny little boy. I don't know how he possibly has relationships if he acts like this. I've been pretty successful with girls since my teens and I always totally ignored all that pick up shit. Its better that way if you ask me.

a good way to not sound needy and obsessed is, don't spend hours and hours studying pickup dating theory.

treat sex like it's nothing only if you want empty sex.

why not, he's throwing shade all over the poor kid who asked the question.

Leo still sounds like a little boy the way he's talking in this thread.

none of that stuff matters if the girl likes you. I've done all of that stuff, made every "mistake" in the so-called dating book, and still gotten the girl. nobody has perfect dating game, the girl doesn't, you don't need to. Its exhausting trying to play by all the rules. Just relax.
