"You're all so arrogant and self-asserting", he said in an arrogant and self-asserting manner

I've used it a few times, but I've found there are some issues with it: You still see posts from the user you've ignored if they're quoted by someone else It's very easy to just override the ignore function because every post from an ignored person has a little button to show it. Sometimes that entices me to give the benefit of the doubt to someone I've ignored You still see people replying to ignored users The first and last points aren't really solvable I suppose, but maybe there is some configuration available to fix the middle one? I like the ignore function but it doesn't totally isolate you from users you want to ignore. It's a start I suppose

@lxlichael People can fuck whoever they want to and however often they want to. You can fuck a lot of different people in a high consciousness way, and you can also have only long term relationships in an extremely low consciousness way. Realistically if you are a guy who prioritises sex quite highly, you're going to need to have sex with quite a lot of girls in order to find out what you enjoy the most, and to find a girl who you are sexually compatible with. It's very possible to do that in a high consciousness way. Women should do the same. And, for a lot of guys, they need experience before they'll be able to attract the girl that they would be most satisfied with settling down with. What is the point of marriage? I don't wanna marry, I'd rather just settle down with a girl without needing to get the government and the legal system to force me to stay together with her.

I’ve done both of these. Or just talk to people in the queue and go in with them. That works pretty well too

Oh, one advantage with techno places (again in the UK) is that they are usually welcoming to people going solo I've noticed. So there's that. You can buy a ticket online beforehand and show up on your own and they'll still welcome you happily if you aren't creepy. Bouncers seem like dickheads far less at techno venues in general. Whereas if you go to a normal club here you will almost certainly not get in solo no matter how friendly you seem, and the bouncers are often total dickheads.

I’d like to see what it’s like there actually. I think it’d be cool. There are places here were the ratio is pretty even but it’s usually either the more exclusive or harder to get into clubs or the most popular non-techno clubs

I’ve noticed techno-specific clubs tend to have a much higher ratio of guys to girls, at least in the UK. In normal clubs here by 3am the dance floor is filled with couples making out, grinding etc. but in techno clubs here I see maybe one or two couples doing that on the whole dance floor. Often by 3am it’s approaching 80-90% guys So in terms of actually meeting girls who are down, normal clubs are probably better I also feel like people in techno clubs (again, in the UK) are less friendly and more cliquey overall, and it’s much easier to find people who are really up themselves But I’ve met girls in both types of clubs

Actually what you are often doing is writing lots of words without really fundamentally making any points at all. I’m actually impressed how well you are able to do that. I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not either. It is definitely a very effective tactic for trolling people and dragging them into messy arguments.

I say this in every thread you make but the only reason you care so much about this now is because it directly affects you as an artist. People have been having their economic value extracted and monopolised by corporations since you were born. People have been losing their jobs to technological progress since you were born. Suggesting we draw the line at art and content creation is just very biased and selfish of you. Realistically this is a technology that will change the world just like factory automation and robotics have in the past, but you’re sticking your heels in the mud and saying it’s evil because rather than adapt you want to continue doing things the way you always have. Are there issues with AI and copyright? Absolutely. But rather than talk about how those could be solved you just dismiss the whole technology as harmful and imply we shouldn’t ever use it. You’re in literally the exact the same position as a 1960s factory worker who’s job is threatened by a company producing robots. If you can’t see that bias within you there’s no point in trying to discuss anything with you

Spot the irony haha

Idk, as a guy you just don't stick in a girl's mind at all if you aren't mentally stimulating to her. It's pretty hard to do that in a few texts. Maybe if you met her in person and made a great impression it's different, but even then... Girls forget about most guys very easily You can balance the odds a bit by building some connection over text in the days before whatever date you've setup That's a good idea. I have done this a few times when I cba trying to talk to a girl who is flakey. I wouldn't say the success rate was especially good for me however

It's very rare that a girl I don't build a reasonable connection with over text first wants to go on a date with me

I mean generally girls who are interested put effort into texts as well. If a girl is giving me almost nothing to work with over text I move on because it's not worth the time and effort to try and squeeze water from a stone. Or rather than leaving them on read I'll just ask them out and take a more direct approach. It's worked a few times for me. You basically want to learn how to express yourself authentically, interestingly and naturally over text like you do in real life too so that conversations flow and feel natural + interesting over text as well.

I find Bumble is way worse in terms of match rate where I live. I'm lucky to get a match a week on it. But then when I was in London for a few days I got like 20 in two days which was crazy, while on Tinder there my matches dropped to zero. Meanwhile where I live I can normally maybe get 2-3 matches a day on Tinder if I'm not too picky. Dating apps are weird man. It's very tough to reason about them. I think Tinder loses some popularity in big cities like London because almost every second profile is some fucker who's 6 thousand miles away using passport and you can't hide those users from your feed with the distance settings.

The girl just coming out saying it was consensual is not final. She could easily have been pressured or bribed into saying that. And if this is what he's willing to do on camera, what do you think he does off camera? Does he strike you as the type of person who would stop when a girl thinks that it's gone too far and wants to stop? The girl's voices in both videos also seem to sound quite defeated. They don't sound like they want to be there of their own accord.

It is. I see some people including Leo say that you should aim to make texting a sideline activity at the start and keep it to the bear minimum, just use it to set up dates. But in almost every circumstance I try to use that approach it backfires, most of the time girls want to see that you can actually be fun over text/message nowadays

I've had a pretty identical experience to you. I got some results from dating apps but not anything exceptional. My adivce is just to leave them running in the background but not pay all that much attention. Get a decent profile, let the app run, swipe to your limit once a day and forget about it the rest of the time. Then use going out as the time when you know you can actually meet and talk to high quality girls consistently

Improving your dating/social life stuff is weird. The learning curve is really non-linear and you barely realise you’re learning or changing. It has lots of ups and downs that can make it very hard to see an overall trend in growth. But as a good rule if you’re not satisfied with your dating life then keep trying to improve it. There’s no way to know whether it’s your genetic limit or you’re just stuck on something minor that you can fix

Greta is so fucking savage, oh my god

You absolutely can. Especially if alcohol is involved, it’s late into a night and you are confident. I’ve done it before. I’ve seen guys who are nothing special in looks do it. I assume it’s possible without these things too, if you are skilled enough and know how to present yourself attractively as a guy, and also know how to read signals from a girl Having said that I think the scepticism that you give RSD for stuff like that is well placed. They have a lot to gain by faking it and not a whole lot of risk either. I also can’t stand Owen’s new content, it feels so grifty and manipulative

I feel like it’s a good thing to experiment with when you’re younger. Having a phase where you are pretty careless and get all the partying out of your system is maybe not a bad thing, as long as you are careful enough to not really fuck yourself over Bad diet as a whole is probably much worse for your body than alcohol

You have no idea whether something like this is a year away or 100 years away. It’s very very tough to estimate For example lots of people estimated that it would take 10+ years for an AI to be super-human at Go a few years back and that record was smashed in far far less time

Not if you force it, most likely. Some people are naturally asexual and for them it may work.

I feel like you’ll have more luck picking like one or two things as New Year’s resolutions and really focusing hard on those. Setting one single day when you’re going to turn your life around is very hard on you

What a random year to pick? Lmao
