Last thing ill say is it can be a hamster wheel if you don't have the right intention. Why are you even doing it? If there isn't a spiritual or emotional motivation , then it's never going to make you happy. Youll have the hot gf, money and confidence but still feel uneasy. I have used personal development solely for spiritual development and the fruits of that have blown my mind. Opening to Love, God & your Power are, to me, what makes it all worth it.

wisdom Also, why not enjoy that hamster wheel , pick up 2 bad bitch mice on your way and get some phat ass cheese

And the problem here is.... ? Do you want to go back to being mediocre? Would you really rather have that been how your life turns out? It would eat away at you regardless of personal development knowledge. Fuck that, get the amazing looking girl, become a successful entrepreneur and rock that James Bond confidence with full cock and balls in hand. Personal Development makes it fun to have something to work for, a vision of your highest self. Wtf else is there to do? Go to your normal job with your reasonable confidence and ugly girlfriend, shoot me. Stop limiting yourself

I've always been a party animal so i feel it is pretty much out of my system, now at 28, the idea of clubbing makes me want to curl up and puke. I'd much rather hit the beach, do tantra or ecstatic dance, or just read a book. The people at clubs can be cool, but they can also be such pieces of shit I had this attitude once, but it never really works, very few people can pull off celibacy, eventually you will deeply crave a womens touch. Also, you don't have to do pick-up the way it's taught. People make is so complex, it's mostly just pump up stuff to motivate guys to talk to girls, i believe naturally you can just become good at it through practice, do it your own way. So many of these pick up artists are just narcissist douche bags with no authenticity or love in their hearts, most of them were not good with girls when young so fucking a bunch of women is like revenge, it doesn't open many hearts and heal many souls. It's actually quite lame and a huge distraction. Good news is there are tons of guys who get women and are feminine, some girls like it. Shit, where i live most of the guys are feminine and they get constant cuddles and attention from women. This whole idea of being a "masculine alpha dude" is old news and it's lame. Real alpha males are kind, intelligent and social

I think it's actually not a preference and guys are just not as "welcomed" socially. It's harder for men to be accepted in social circles. This is something i have been noticing recently, i don't think it's that men don't want the connection and socializing, we're all social animals, but women are just better at it and i believe social conditioning gives them a lot more support to have friends, be vulnerable etc. I also think there is a component of gender though, men find it a bit more pointless to just chat, while for women it's almost a form of medicine or meditation. Men want to be left alone a lot more. Also, sexuallly it's actually dangerous for women, especially attractive ones, to not have a little pack or crew, so survivally it makes more sense. I travel a lot and all the women i meet have a little group of friends eestablished within literally hours of getting to a place. it's impressive. Also, love the videos Leo, God is everywhere. I really enjoy clubbing and partying sober and just tripping out on it.

wow, looks good

@bloomer I see, appreciate the clarifications. You are talking more on a societal level. I guess i find it meaningless to get lost in that, but you raise valid points, all we can do is focus on ourselves and create the best life possible and be the best men possible. I disagree on the moving thing, some countries are improving and have a much better vibe then the psychosis going on in america. I never felt very patriotic or fit in there so leaving wasn't a big deal, other cultures have a very strong masculine/feminine polarity like brazil for example

I find myself a bit too entrenched in Leos work, i love it so much but i feel it's a bit obsessive. For example, the videos help me sleep and i listen to a video pretty much every night while dozing off. But i worry about the ideas getting put in my head, specifically around solipsism or the idea that my experience is the only and every thing that is happening. Sometimes this is extremely beautiful and feels true and other times it freaks me out and seems ridiculous. I feel a bit like im playing with fire. should i slow down with consuming this content? it's just everything else seems boring and false now. i can't even listen to 99% of the bullshit out there. michael sealey hypnosis and actualized.org is pretty much all i consume, granted i pretty much spend my whole day outside in nature and with people so i don't consume much content.

@bloomer I didnt read your whole post but you seem to be pretty brainwashed. It's okay, I used to think like this as well "We have no god. God is dead and all that jazz." Bullshit. God is never dead and you can always connect to your higher self and spirituality. This is some athiest nihilistic wimp shit to say. "We have no family. The family structure is under constant attack and is fucked," Bullshit. I have a very close family with tons of support and love. This totally depends on your family and if they are brainwashed. "We have no positive male role models. " Bullshit, you just have to find them. I do agree the mainstream ones like Tai Lopez, Joe Rogan, even David Goggins are pretty toxic "We have no country. We have this entho masochistic worldview where the west is evil and the root of the worlds ills." Then fucking move, that's what i did and i have a community and culture. I used to live in America, where i was raised. Now I actually am so unplugged from the psychosis of the west it's unbeleivably refreshing "We have no purpose, because we have none of the things that used to give us purpose." You are a breathing living human being, create purpose, there are infinite things to give your life purpose. Quit pouting

i'm still confused on your pov of "others", when i talk to a person is there a separate consciousness on the other end experiencing me? Hearing my words, having feelings, being affected? Leo do you believe that you are the only person having an actual experience? And your bubble of reality is the only thing that exists?

if im god and solipsism is true, then why doesn't everyone here just denounce the fact they are having an experience and consciousness? Or would that just ruin the game too quickly..

In Leos videos and most of what i read online, it seems like people think that it has to be done via creating some product or brand that provides you passive income. But what if you just hustle for 5-10 years and then live off the investments? Why is this path so frowned upon? Everything i research about it is mostly negative, and I think this 4% rule is bullshit. You have to be a total idiot to only get a 4% return on your nest egg yearly. At the moment, my average investment return is around 18%, granted i've only been investing for like 3 years. Anyway, I want to hear your guys take on building a nest egg, then coasting off the dividends, rather than trying to build a business from scratch which for some people is just not going happen. It's much easier for a person like me to just make a good amount of money in tech and saving my ass off til i can coast. Thanks

frank yang annoys the shit outta me

I want to keep going deeper on my path with psychedelics, however, I'm in a bit of a dark mind-space. I feel unstable and lost, i just got back from a 2 week ayahuasca retreat and it was challenging, not as healing as i had hoped. I'm also reading LSD and the mind of the universe, it's essentially about taking the path of psychedelics for spiritual growth. Which i find very inticing. I have been a meditator for 5 years and it just seems to not be getting me where i want to go, although i love meditation, so much. where-as psychedelics usually do. And they are so great at shaking up all those negative patterns. I want to take acid (2 hits) and just meditate because last time i did it was so healing. But i'm worried that if it's a bad trip ill be even worse off. My main issue i don't have a support group. I travel like a madman, spending less than a month in a country at a time, because i enjoy it, but it comes with a constant flux of people in and out of my life. no stable tribe or friend group.

I need to burn through Sex, Financial Independence, Travel and Friends However i hope to not "get over" these things, I hope i always have good sex, good friends, solid passive income and travel my whole life.

@Tancrede Pouyat Absolutely nothing wrong with meeting women via yoga, dance, special interest. In fact, that is probably much better than cold approaching since you have a mutual interest. The issue is most guys don't go socialize and do those things, which was a prime theme in Leos' video. Meeting women in these places is going to get you much higher quality picks than a club, so do that but you're still kinda cold approaching, you still need to state to these women that you find them attractive and flirt with them. It's not enough to just go to these classes and make friends with them, bc you'll get stuck in the friend zone and end up spinning your wheels. Some people may act like its' weird to hit on girls in yoga because it's spiritual but that's absolute bullshit, just do you and go after what you want, and if you have to step on some toes be okay with it. My advice is do both, but DEF don't drop trying to meet women via yoga, dance, etc, that's a fuckin bullseye!

@Jacob Morres I think you're misunderstanding. I am not labelling Heirarchies as bad , you seem to be doing that. Here's a simple example; Imagine that there is a company trying to slow down pollution, there is someone in the company, the CEO, who has studied plastic usage, proper recycling etc for years and knows exactly how to reduce this issue. So he presents his idea, then an intern, says "no, let's just do THIS" (insert horrible idea here) without the power dynamic, the CEOs idea is on the same level as the intern. In this situation having a power distribution is important. And the Intern can still be treated with respect and dignity but his idea gets rejected ultimately because the CEO is higher on the decision making ladder. And pollution goes down. Your point on racism is totally invalid. Racism isn't beneficial, ever, where heirearchies and distributions of power CAN BE, when used properly. Racism is definitely in our minds and psyche, as are heirarchies, but one is totally destructive and ignorant, another can be productive. The problem is when the CEO thinks he is better than the Intern in some absolute sense. But the Intern may have more mastery in meditation and in that arena he would have more say and power. @Leo Gura Solid, I'll take that into account. I typically don't test out different things like that (taps of shoulder, smile, etc) but it could be fun to try and fine tune it. I just worry that could get too "heady" also you need a ton of data points because some girl might hate being touched by a stranger and some might love it. Some may find a shoulder tap creepy another sexy, so it's hard to write "THIS is the perfect number of taps" Being in the body and at ease is always invaluable. Same with ridiculously strong eye contact. I think a large % of success goes to luck and energetic match as well. Some questions; How much honing of skills can go into it? You think you could ever get to a point where you're hitting 90% success? Like is that even possible? Also, what's the best way to gain skill, just observational experience? And what exactly are you observing? Her reactions? Also, do you do most of your pick up at clubs? Bc it's a totally different demographic with different results. What if you brought the same tactics to a yoga group for example?

@Jacob Morres Correct, in the grand scheme of reality, we are all equal. It'd be great if we could live that way, but maybe not. We live a world that lives by very different rules, and pretty much nobody has transcended the heirarchy mind set. It's embedded in our dna. "where do i stand compared to him?" It's actually not necessarily a bad thing, some situations require an "alpha" or leader to call shots and if everyone was acting like all their voices mattered equally, nothing would get accomplished. Politics, businesses, militaries, even spiritual circles. There needs to be some structure and distribution of power, which of course can't just be equal for obvious reasons. That's not to say everyone doesn't have their unique contribution and value. And people can always be respected and have high self-esteem even in these systems.

@Leo Gura Does it really get that technical, (2 or 3 taps on the shoulder, big or small smile, etc) I don't think there could be a formula for that, because what if one girl likes to be tapped twice and another likes it 3 times, and one girl thinks big smiles are cute and another creepy. Isn't it possible that you're just getting too technical at that point and it's actually fucking up your game?

This is literally my life lol and yeah it's pretty fucking dope, but you can get lost in it as well

Hey man, i know you've been through a lot of bullshit, clearly you have had to overcome some serious hurdles in life. And that takes strength. So props But in all honesty, you sound like a total victim whiner here. I read the previous comments and no one said anything that mean or "bad" to you, you're just hyper sensitive and ready to point out anyone that is making a comment on incels as a horrible person. Incels are losers by definition , i'm sorry. They should face the facts and use it to grow, or they will remain losers, and normal people will not lose any sleep over it. It's like a fat person who just gets mad at all the skinny people but never takes the day to look in the mirror and realize he's a fat fuck, who just needs to get over it and eat healthy. You complaining and freaking out on everyone does nothing for these incel people. they should feel like losers with their mysognism, lame online victim communities and porn addictions. Should we praise these people? Even @Flowerfaeirys comment wasn't that bad. She was just saying that when a guy is being needy or scared of her, it places her higher than him in the interaction. Imagine if you were standing in line at a store and someone in front of you just randomly said "take my spot" and then he started shining your shoes. You would probably feel above that person in some way. "Why is this guy kissing my ass so much? Does he have no self value?" Human interaction is typically some kind of this dynamic and shifts based on what is going on. But you flipped out on her and got all defensive about it. So just pointing out this might be a shadow for you, if you flip out on me, then you're more stubborn than you seem, but it's fine if you do. I genuinely don't give a fuck

i find myself so deterred from this, it's not that there aren't opportunities but i just would rather meditate or nap. but at the same time i need people and i've isolated myself way too much, it's starting to take a toll on my mental health any good, QUALITY books on socializing? Please none of that win friends and influence ppl bullshit

I think this topic and video is of utmost importance at this time. So just go jerk off and keep meditating bro, a lot of guys need this

Thank you, very insightful and helpful advice <3 @BipolarGrowth
