Who cares?? It’s still better than rich people hoarding their money

What? I don’t see your logic here I don’t think. As far as I can see you’re basically saying all charity is bad because the image it gives can be abused. Well duh, but just because some of it can be used for evil doesn’t mean the entire concept of charity is bad

Yea but that’s actually better than those 1000 people not getting the surgery this kind of shit exposes the flaws in American healthcare where your healthcare is actually just hoping to god you can get funded on GoFundMe or be lucky enough to have a charity help you thats the real evil

What? How can you frame a guy paying for 1000 people’s surgery as a negative thing? The only way I can see it as a negative is that the people shouldn’t have to fucking pay for it to begin with. But they were unlucky enough to be born into the world’s only first world country that makes them pay for it

You woulnd't be calling me gigachad if you saw my spindly twig arms and legs and my concave chest

You could say that the efficiency with which the nazis killed the jews and other minorities was pure art, but no one says that because it was an awful event and you shouldn't give it any positive attention at all. It's the same with Andrew Tate, if you start trying to appreciate him and see him for anything other than a massive conman it does not reflect well on you

It's just another personality test. People get hooked on categorical personality tests like MBTI and Enneagram and this alpha/beta stuff. Notice how you don't see people get hooked on something like Big 5 as much even though it's objectively far better. It's because it doesn't give you a neat little box to place yourself and others within.

Haha, thank you

Fuck it, figure I may as well, what's the worst that can happen

He got arrested for it in my city lmao I'm actually not surprised, hardcore daygame seems like the kind of behaviour that you'd get a lot of shit for here

I mean who's complaining about making it appear bigger than it is The entire industry of fashion is designed to make you perceptively more good looking than you are, it's not a unique concept

It's an illusion, it makes it perceptively bigger

Social anxiety is weird. You can heal your social anxiety completely in certain situations and still have it really bad in other situations. I can go into a loud club and talk to everyone I meet but I can't hold a conversation with my local barista without getting filled with anxiety. So even if you can use mindfulness to quell anxiety overall (which I'd say you absolutely can, it gives you a sense that no matter what happens you'll be OK and allows you to have enough peace of mind to access that when you're anxious) there will likely still be situations that need more direct work to address.

Neither did you apparently

It doesn't matter if you're autistic or not, at least not unless you're really autistic to the point where you need lots and lots of support. If that were the case you'd have been picked up on it a long time ago. You can improve your social skills, I've basically spent the last two years focusing pretty heavily on it.

@Devin I think you may be trolling. If not, god help you.

This thinking is the issue. Some people actually are victims. I think I've been exceptionally privileged and I don't feel like a victim in most parts of my life. Maybe you feel the same. But if you were born into a battery elements mine in the Congo or if you had to get poisoned at work every day dissolving computer parts to recover the gold just to make enough to eat, you may feel differently. Statements like "life is so easy, just exist bro" are somewhat insensitive towards others who may not have it as easy as you.

My point was simply that you can't just say "oh life's so easy" because for many people it isn't. Even in Western countries.

What if I'm an 8-year-old enslaved cobalt miner in the Congo?

If you’re going for jobs at big companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc. right now then no. They’re all firing a fuck ton of people right now. But there are sooo many startups doing great right now that haven’t been affected by that, plenty of them are hiring. It’s still one of the easiest fields to get a job in if you have some basic credentials or a portfolio

Programming is the best one for it. I’m a programmer. There are tons of chill remote startups out there which will be relaxed about where you work from

Digital nomad is another option. Work for a chill remote tech company that lets you travel a lot and work while you do it. Im going to Nepal for a month and a half next month and working while I’m out there

The reason I believed it initially was because of this video here that I posted earlier in the thread where he admits to scamming lonely guys very directly. It has the same "I'm scamming people and getting away with it" energy as the deep fake one so it was somewhat believable. I actually couldn't tell that the voice was any different, it just seemed too dumb of a thing for even him to say after a bit of thought.

My best friend in school was a mentally unstable, 5ft5 Bangladeshi guy from a low-income family. He got laid like 5x more than me when we went off to uni. He had an entitled alpha energy and exceptional social skills (basically, he had great game) that made him amazing with women. I always think about him when I hear people talk about how personality doesn't matter. He's the epitome of personality getting you further with girls than looks and money. I don't doubt that those things you list play a part, but I think you undervalue the role your charisma and personality play. Women go for guys who stimulate emotion within them. Having money or good looks is one way to do that, but having game is another.

If anything you'll get charged with harassment. You're not going to get charged with sexual assault for talking to a girl, at least not unless you start talking about your giant throbbing dick in front of her. If you give off good vibes you're not putting any stress on a girl. Humans are social creatures, most of us enjoy a friendly and stimulating conversation. And 9 times out of 10 if you piss a girl off you can just apologise, say you're sorry for bothering her and both of you move on with your life. Guys who are shy often project that shyness onto others and assume that everyone must be shy and hate talking to people, but it's simply not true. You realise that daygame can literally be just having a conversation with a girl you happen to encounter in your daily life? Most people with fairly sociable lives are meeting new people every single day. A significant chunk of couples probably met through daygame without even realising that's what happened. Healthy, confident guys will go and talk to girls they find attractive and want to get to know all the time. I'm playing devils advocate here because to an extent I agree, I don't think daygame is great. At least not the kind where you go to your local high street at 11am on a Saturday and approach every girl you see. But it's healthy to be able to see a girl you're attracted to as you go about your day and be able to strike up some kind of conversation with her. Lots of couples meet this way. Personally I prefer just going out to clubs because it doesn't feel like a chore and you can be way more direct because it's a more naturally sociable environment.
