You should start going to college parties. It's a lot easier to build attraction in really sociable environments like that.

I'm not taking away your right to have opinions, I'm just pointing out that you have no experience with what you are talking about confidently. That is a perfectly valid criticism.

I agree with you on redpill for the most part, I just think you're also a bit naïve. There are nuggets of truth to redpill, but the ideology and a lot of the theory is toxic. A lot of what women tell you they're attracted to and what they actually go for in guys is quite different. You will find that out when you actually try to attract girls instead of just talking to them casually. As a guy it helps you a lot to have some of the 'alpha' traits redpill preaches, as well as the sensitivity and vulnerability that you're talking about. Women like men who have both. It's hard to build attraction with only sensitivity and vulnerability, but those traits are much better for building long term relationships once you've already established attraction.

It's an important point when you are presenting yourself as an authority on women and dating.

I said this already, but I feel like most people would benefit more from having some no-self or non-dual experiences before they start going into all the higher level stuff Leo is talking about. If you haven't even had no-self experiences or understand non-duality, how are you hoping to properly experience something like god consciousness or alien love or whatever without deluding yourself? Leo did a ton of basic spirituality before reaching the levels he is talking about now. Even if they are true, almost everyone hasn't gone through the basic stages first.

What do you do to meet girls? Where do you normally go?

If someone is spouting tons of direct racism, hate speech, nazi support etc. or if someone is a pedophile, essentially everyone agrees they should be cancelled/banned/prevented from spreading their ideas So at some point there is a line that can be crossed where almost everyone collectively decides that someone should not be allowed to continue posting online. Mostly what you're talking about is just a disagreement over where that line should be, because everyone thinks it should be somewhere different. But the line always has to be somewhere or social media becomes a toxic mess. So when someone says they want to cancel cancel-culture I imagine they mean that they want the line to be further to the right than it is currently, they don't want to abolish the line all together.

Hot girls are usually experts at curating their image, so you end up seeing a far more glamorous view of their lives on social media compared to reality. Yea, there are a few who make money off their looks on social media etc. but companies rarely hire incompetent girls just because they're hot. Maybe it gives them an advantage, but it's not like they can just walk into jobs with absolutely zero experience/training, be incompetent, and get away with it for a long time. Interestingly, I read recently that women who are in charge of hiring often have a fairly strong bias against women who they think are more attractive than them. Which makes sense because I could certainly that happening with guys as well.

Last I remember you'd never dated or been in a relationship, though.

The problem is it sounds very bizarre and weird to most people. It reads kinda culty even though I don’t think it is. Most people haven’t even had basic no-self experiences, let alone anything to do with alien consciousness. Like even you went through a lot of progression with more traditional forms of spirituality before moving into more advanced concepts like this, perhaps that’s a necessary progression for most people? Once I have sorted out the material parts of my life my plan is to focus on more traditional spirituality like no-self and non-duality because it feels like that’s an important step to pass through before I’d be open minded enough to start thinking about god consciousness or alien consciousness

In truth my actual viewpoint is closer to yours. I don't think anyone should be denied the opportunity to purse their true identity, I think young people with gender dysphoria should be given extensive care, attention, therapy and helped in every way possible. I'm not anti-trans I was just playing devils advocate and empathising a bit with the conservative world view instead of just outright calling them bigots. I did frame it quite aggressively towards you which might explain why you were so aggressive back, I probably shouldn't have done that, sorry Even if you think they're all bigots, it can be helpful to try and understand their viewpoint instead of just dismissing them and trying to beat them into submission. You won't change anyone's mind like that, you'll just make them defensive. Especially conservative minded people Their concerns are based in wanting to preserve traditions and avoid making changes that irreversibly damage society. That's the core of the conservative world view. I can see it isn't a completely unwise position even if I don't agree with it. It is very possible that widespread messing with identity and gender could have unforeseen consequences even if we don't know what they are yet. In the long term I still think it's a necessary step for us to take as it is clearly an important issue for many with gender dysphoria that needs to be addressed

You keep ignoring it when this particular point is made in this thread: Being cautious about fucking with gender/identity is not an unwise position. There could be unforeseen consequences of promoting trans ideas so heavily to young people. It could seriously fuck up their identity. Transitioning to a new gender should not be something that is considered so lightly because it causes radical and irreversible changes to a person, physically and mentally. And it may have unforeseen consequences for those kids who are not even trans in the first place but essentially get indoctrinated into that worldview. ^This is the conservative position for non-bigoted conservatives. Some are just bigoted, sure, but not all. The conservative position is based around being cautious of changing the status quo because rapid change can be dangerous, and cause more damage than it fixes.

This is just wrong. Girls lose interest for all sorts of reasons, mostly boredom. Women get attracted to men who can both prioritise her wellbeing and understand what they can selfishly get away with. Being able to read that the girl wants to be kissed but not having to ask her permission and just kissing her whenever you feel like it is extremely attractive

No, because domestic post is almost never inspected in Western countries, so the chances of what you ordered getting caught is almost zero. International post is inspected extremely thoroughly by comparison.

I mean a guy can do all of those things too for the same results. Replace makeup with a nice wardrobe/haircut/style. I've seen guys go from a 4 to a 7 just by getting a better haircut + beard Some people seriously struggle to lose weight for reasons that aren't really in their control. Women also have a lot of hormones that affect weight gain and mood too, which makes it harder. Also, a lot of attraction in women's bodies is about proportion. You can have girls who weigh more but look more attractive than skinnier girls because their proportions are just genetically better. At the end of the day you've still got to take off your makeup and look in the mirror, or be seen by your partner.

Generally you should avoid stuff you buy crossing international borders. If you can order it domestically, you always should.

See my earlier post. Short answer: An average male would need to ejaculate 4.6 million times to deplete the amount of testosterone he produces in a single day.

@Danioover9000 To be clear I think there are emotional reasons for nofap being good and beneficial for an individual, for some it’s the right choice. I only chimed in here because the argument of losing energy/nutrients/testosterone through masturbation is silly and quite easily debunked with a little bit of science and biology.

I’m pointing out you said this again because I think it identifies a heavy amount of bias and unjustified over-confidence in your thinking. With that in mind, would you like to provide some links this time?

@Someone here From some rudimentary research, the average man produces 7mg of testosterone a day. An average ejaculation contains 30ng/100ml of testosterone. An average ejaculation is 5ml. That means there is around 1.5 NANOgrams of testosterone in each ejaculation. You would need to ejaculate 4.6 million times just to use up all the testosterone you produce in a SINGLE DAY. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2883142/ https://moreplatesmoredates.com/how-many-milligrams-of-testosterone-do-men-naturally-produce/

I don't think it's redpill that commodifies people. People commodify each other regardless of whether redpill exists or not. It is very difficult to pick out exactly what your point/criticism is here, I'm sorry.

What does this even mean? This is literally, completely, meaningless. Even your main point is not even really that clear. Dating shouldn't be a marketplace, is that what you are suggesting?

This is such a good way to humble yourself. Your mind is really good at deluding you about how good you are at something when you don't have any great examples of what's possible surrounding you. For example if you had asked me if I was a good software engineer when I graduated uni, I'd have said yes. Now that I work as one around some with 10+ years of experience, I know that I'm still just starting my journey.

I just remember it being a bit weird. Like I could see what they were going for, but it just didn't work for me.

Yea I've done that and it works quite well, depends on the girl a bit though. Some girls might find that weird if you don't judge it right or say it with the right energy. Another thing I've done is say "Come on, lets go find a quiet spot somewhere around here and make out." If she follows you, then you know she's fine with it.
