Your original wording that sparked a response from me was "I want one thing to focus on. One 'high-yield technique', as Leo talks about in his video on the 3-step formula" and I the point I wanted to make was that this mindset is too narrow and shows a misunderstanding of how women's attraction works. If you asked that question: "I want one thing to focus on. One 'high-yield technique', as Leo talks about in his video on the 3-step formula" and I responded with "don't be too logical" that single answer alone will not make you attractive to girls, but it will help. It is part of a bigger process of building yourself into an attractive guy. Do you understand? Women are not attracted to men who are manipulating them using techniques and processes. There are techniques and processes for getting better with girls, but they are not as narrow as you would like them to be. It is a holistic process where you build yourself into an attractive man by building a life and personality that is valuable to a woman. You can construct theories like this in your head all day long, it aint gonna get you laid No one has said this. What I personally said was that you were being too logical in your approach to how women's attraction works, thinking about them like computers you can get specific output from if you give them specific input, or perform a specific technique in front of them. Women's attraction is not based on logic. It's intuitive and emotional.

"Not being logical" isn't going to make you attractive women on its own. It isn't a 'high yield technique.' It isn't a magic pill. Nor was I suggesting or implying that it was. Being too logical is just one of many mistakes that guys commonly make with women. It's one of the many things you can work on to turn yourself into a complete man that is attractive to lots of women.

Give some more concrete examples of the problems caused by the extreme left then. Ones that are on the same level of toxicity and atrocity as genocide, nationalism, terrorism, curb-stomping people for their skin colour, discrimination, segregation, pedophile rings etc. Of course there are problems with the left but in the whole it is progress for our society currently to move towards the left since we’ve been right biased since the inception of humanity Most of the time you see people talking about how bad the left is, or how the feminist SJW booger-men are out to destroy us, they are also the exact people who lose power with the progression of left wing ideology, which speaks volumes -
I want to agree but it’s not worth having this kind of argument with someone. The way to help people with such a mindset is to give them advice to get themselves out of their predicament, not berate them for it

You’re looking for a magic pill where no such thing exists. There is no single thing you can do to attract women. It doesn’t work like that. Women are attracted to who you are as a man, holistically. They aren’t attracted to techniques and ‘high yield’ tricks. You are viewing women like a computer. “If I do X, it will get Y result from women.” This is flawed at the core. You need to work on improving your emotionality and EQ to make progress. You’re being too logical

Personally I don’t find solo night game that hard. The hardest part is the judgement for being out in your own, but frankly the only time I’ve ever felt particularly judged for that was by club bouncers No one is judging you in a busy club unless you’re exceptionally obnoxious. You are free to experiment a lot more Whenever I feel scared or shy in a club I think about how few of the people I’ve met in clubs I’d actually recognise if I met them on the street now, or how few of them I even remember. Very very few, and that’s how they’ll all feel about you too unless you’re a top tier obnoxious arsehole A really good way to build a sociable state if you’re feeling shy is to talk to all the other guys who look kinda out of place or lonely. You’ll make them feel a lot better too, so it’s win win

Chances are if you have to say this, there's projection/judgement happening A lot of your posts are quite subtly placing yourself above others, with hints of judgement This is very flawed thinking. "I have no trauma and I'm not kinky therefore all kinks come from trauma"
-
I know but you've missed my point This entire style of graph appears useless. It conveys no information.

Honestly, there are bigger issues in the world than toxic feminism and extremely left wing ideology. It isn't really that big of an issue. There are always going to be extreme people in all political ideologies, and the right wing extreme is far worse than the left wing extreme. The worst examples you could come up with for the extreme left are fines for not obeying pronouns, male tax, and sending men to jail when they're accused without super concrete evidence. Yea, maybe these things are kinda dumb, but the right wing extreme wants things like genocide, segregation, eugenics and minimal tax for the absurdly wealthy. It isn't really comparable -
Dude that aint normal. I think I was like 14 the first time I looked at porn
-
I've seen similar graphs before and I have no idea what information this kind of graph is supposed to convey. Literally everything below the top X axis contributes nothing.

It really annoys me when I see people who want to have kids before they're at least 25 in Western countries. I'm a pretty neutral person on most political topics, but I feel strongly about people having kids when they're young. Having a kid before you have matured yourself is potentially ruining 3 lives. Your life, your partner's life and the child's life. I'd say no one in first world countries is ready to have a kid before 25. First world countries require a lot of time for you to sort out your own life. It's pretty difficult to have enough experience in your own life to bring a kid into this world and raise it to live a good life if you're not at least 25 or older. There are exceptions I'm sure, but that's a good general rule IMO. Personally I'm not planning on having kids until I'm 30. -
Even then, no one judges you as harshly as you think they are. Especially when everyone is drinking. Everyone is far more concerned with their own life than yours, just like you're far more concerned about your life than theirs.

I've worked with the guy before, he seems like a pretty decent guy, and pretty smart as well. Why do you think he's a moron?

What you interpret as narcissism in hot girls is likely just their mechanism for filtering out guys who they feel aren't worth their time. If you are shy and not that confident in yourself, a confident hot girl will just steamroll you. Those girls will probably end up with guys who don't treat them especially differently from regular girls and can handle their sass/confidence. The way you are thinking, putting them on a pedestal, does not serve you. Bear that in mind. And honestly, I kinda enjoy it when I see actual narcissism in attractive girls because it reminds me that no one is perfect. Everyone has flaws. In their case their flaw is their narcissism. There are also plenty of hot girls who aren't narcissistic, too. In fact, probably most of them. The narcissistic hot girls you may see on social media are not typically representative of girls in general. In my experience most girls are actually pretty insecure, even hot girls.

This might be part of the problem Girls don’t want a dude who’s life is chasing pussy 24/7. Get some other hobbies, work on other parts of your life, make it an interesting life, and go specifically get better with girls a few days a week
-
It always makes me laugh when I see guys call girls female in everyday contexts it's a tad cringey
-
Chill. the. motherfucking. hell. out. I know it's easier said than done. No one is judging you as harshly as you think they are. Everyone is far more concerned with their own lives than they are with yours. You know two people there. When you arrive go and talk to them. Let talking to them put you in a good frame of mind. As a group you'll end up talking to new people just by the nature of being at a party. If either of your friends are particularly sociable they'll probably do the heavy lifting for you Shitty attitude

Please don't do cold approach daygame at college. Your reputation will disintegrate. Talk to a few girls as you go about your day who you encounter naturally, but don't stand on the busiest street on campus and spam approach. Your reputation as the weird guy who does that will spread very very quickly. Why in the fuck would you even need cold approach at college? Make some friends, go to parties, go out to clubs. That's what college is for, that's how you meet girls at college.

It isn't disrespect, in most cases. And it isn't usually personal either. It's also not good to get upset when people disrespect you who you don't really know. You should probably be equally invested in these girls as they are in you i.e. not really at all at first. Why are you sending multiple follow messages to someone who doesn't answer? This is looks very needy. So does sending a big long spiel about how she needs to emotionally respect you. Girls don't respond well to that kind of thing because they see right through it. It isn't about you wanting respect, it's about you needing her attention and getting pissed off when she doesn't give you it. It creates way too much tension. Especially with someone you don't really know. It's actually quite disrespectful towards her if anything. You're putting a lot of unnatural pressure on her she doesn't really deserve.

As a guy you have to deal with girls flaking quite a bit. What is the best way to handle this? It used to really annoy me when I was quite lonely and didn't speak to that many girls. In fact it used to be one of the few things that would make my blood absolutely boil. But now that I can meet new girls consistently, it doesn't really bother me at all anymore. Of course it still happens and I would like advice on whether I should continue to talk to girls who are flaky and hard to pin down or just move on to other girls. Most common two examples of flakyness I encounter: We arrange date for a certain day/night. She agrees. I message night/day before for confirmation and then: Left on read Comes up with a legit excuse "Sorry I forgot" I suggest a day for a date. She says she doesn't know what days she'll be free next week and says "I'll message you and let you know what days I'm free". In my experience, girls who respond with "I'll let you know" have, not once in my entire life, ever let me know, lol. In my head there are two approaches I consider: Fuck it, I have too much respect for myself and my time to bother trying to deal with this, move on. I may as well keep chatting and try to set up another date, what have I got to lose? Maybe she'll be less fickle if I actually get her on a date, and perhaps we will get on really well together. What are your thoughts on handling this? Is it better to just cut losses and move on or keep playing?
-
This isn't about one girl in particular I don't really care about losing girls over text anymore. Obviously I would like to go on dates, but I don't care if things don't pan out because I know I can go out at weekends and get plenty of girls that way. You are kind of framing this like I'm needy, but I'm mostly past that stage now. I used to be very very needy. This is mostly about the logistics of getting dates with girls over text, because girls are typically flaky over text when they have such little investment in you. Perhaps a better way to frame this question would have been "how do you maximise chances of getting an actual date over text with a girl"
-
I've had girlfriends. And I wouldn't say I struggle with girls or anything. This is more of a logistics issue of whether it's worth my time pursuing girls that are kind of flaky and if there is ever any value in doing so, or if I should just say fuck it and move on. This sounds like a good approach, thanks.
