Lol, tell this to starving children in poor countries. if you eat only an apple a day for a long period of time you'll starve to death. Let alone build any muscle.

I'm curious to see if Honey changes their business model after this. I think if a business like Honey legitimately do what they advertise and scour the web for the best coupon possible, then they deserve some reward for that. But it turns out they aren't finding you the best coupons most of the time, and they're stealing affiliate revenue even when they can't find you a coupon. Which is extremely scummy and greedy. If they do what they advertise they'll make a lot less money, but at least it's somewhat legit. I don't see how else they can recover from this tbh.

The pics of me that have made the biggest difference to how many matches I got were: A photo of me holding a giant rat, in combination with a bio like "Yea, I'm holding a giant rat. It's a long story". It got a lot of girls to message me asking me why I was holding probably the biggest rat they'd ever seen A selfie I took of me and a group of 7 people I went camping with at sunset in great lighting. This works well because it creates such a cool, chill and relaxed vibe, and also subtly makes me look confident in front of a group because I'm the one taking the selfie A photo of me on top of a mountain at sunset with messy af hair. Kinda similar to the camping one, it creates a cool adventurous and slightly rugged vibe These all work so well because they are naturally occurring situations where you want someone to take a photo. They aren't staged photos specifically taken for online dating. It also helps a lot if your photos give off a specific vibe. A lot of online dating photos are very boring, even if the guy looks good, because the photos don't convey any emotion at all. I can't stress enough how big of a difference having interesting hobbies will make to your online dating results. Even just going on some hikes and getting your friends to take cool photos of you is probably the easiest way to get a decent photo. If you solo hike, find a cool spot with good lighting, prop your phone up and start recording video and just sit/stand in front of it, relax, try some poses, look around etc. for a few minutes. Then at the end, scroll through your video and you'll almost certainly have some good frames in there to use. If you have a phone with optical zoom, use it. It'll make your proportions look much more true to life.

She's 15, don't expect coherent and well written thoughts. When I was her age I got dragged by the balls into the depths of anti-SJW content by YouTube's algorithm and If you'd asked me to justify any of the woman hating opinions I had then I would have probably written similar garbage.

Mine is not low and I'm still cripplingly socially anxious sometimes. High body count doesn't make you instantly confident.

If not in the regular conservative manner, then how? There aren't that many ways to regulate sex beyond the ways that conservatives have been doing for thousands of years.

@Medhansh Well done for having the courage to do what you're doing, it's very hard. However, are there places you can go out and do nightgame in Mumbai? Like nightclubs or something? Trying to meet women at random public places during the day is like hitting your head against a wall, most of the time. I'd say going out at night is a much better option. It's counterintuitive, if you are anxious or shy, you want to go to the busiest and most sociable places you can to meet people. Because this is where people are most open to chatting to strangers. Daygame has a very fundamental problem in that when you spam approach, most girls are asking themselves something along the lines of "why is this guy approaching women at a train station, if he was really worth my time he wouldn't need to do this."

@Nilsi You can put together a good enough outfit just from stuff you find in Uniqlo if you know what you're doing. You don't need to go anywhere special to get good looking clothes. It's worth spending good money on jackets, shoes and maybe accessories. Anything else just buy cheap stuff that fits from Uniqlo or other similar stores.

If you learn to have fun and make friends while you are out solo, the whole thing becomes a lot easier. If you go out just to lurk on your own at the side of a club and pick out women to approach, you're probably not going to have a lot of success. This is for many reasons, but the two major ones are that you get stuck in your own head and women can sense that you don't belong here. The better approach is to go out and make lots of friends at the place you go to. Find a new group of people to hang out with, dance with, and have fun with. This will make your approaches feel much more natural, maybe even effortless. Because you are naturally introduced to a lot of different people by being a part of a social group. You should also push yourself to approach women too, but you'll find it's much easier when you are able to make a new group of friends for the night.

Bundle getting better with girls into building your social skills. They're quite similar skillsets. Focus on building up a social life where you are somewhat naturally finding yourself in mixed gender places and push yourself to chat to the women there.

I'd recommend not viewing this as learning game, so much as improving/enhancing your social skills in general. IMO it's a healthier way to view it. In some sense it's the same thing but you aren't associating yourself with all of the negative stigma around game and pickup, of which there is a lot. Just focus on having something social going on in your life at the very least every single weekend, ideally on a bunch of weeknights too. Get a group of mates to go out with on weekends, and fill your weeknights up with activities like yoga classes, martial arts, sports, clubs, meetups, etc. It doesn't have to be about getting laid at the start, it helps a lot to have a solid social foundation which you can build upon. The momentum comes from being sociable in general, not just talking to girls.

With fashion I feel like you should get the basics down before you start experimenting with weirder stuff. Could you pull these pink shoes off? Yes, probably. But the confidence and outfit matching skills you need to do it are the kind of thing you should build up with classic solid outfits/pieces first.

I have sympathy for you. Relentlessly fighting with the trauma ghosts in your head every day must be very tiring

You can’t objectively decide. You can’t figure it out. The rules are very wish-washy and depend heavily on circumstances. It’s mostly an intuitive sense. Hence why practice is kind of the only way to calibrate yourself socially. Talking to lots of people and being in lots of different social environments is kind of the only way to calibrate yourself.

Because your question is somewhat flawed to begin with and doesn’t really have an answer. Asking “who decides what social calibration is” is like asking “who decides that human beings have to work”, or “who decides that money has value” There is not really an answer to any of these questions. There is no “who”. There is no individual or group of people that actively decide any of this. Work, money, and socialisation are just emergent properties of living in a complex human society.
