I don't think it's necessarily a lack of empathy. The more I'm trying to have conscious relationships and invest in them, the more I realize how much of a pain in the ass they are. I can definitely sympathize with not wanting to get involved in relationships at all, and seeing humans as mostly unconscious selfish fucks, though that's still a perspective I'm not willing to take personally.

He is definitely not dumb or a con artist, and as far as learning what it means to be an "alpha male," he is definitely an authority, that can be taken seriously. Obviously this is a very narrow specialization and I don't think you should listen to that guy, outside the context of doing some kind of shadow/integration work.

I don't think a "high-value individual" would go out just for the sake of chatting up girls. If you happen to run into a cute girl, by all means, run your game, but I find it hard to justify going out of my way, just for the off chance, that I run into a girl I like. It depends on how bad you situation is I guess. If you're completely clueless, that may be a good investment of your time regardless.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I think I'm a little naive when it comes to sun exposure. I've been going all summer without sunscreen and I'm pretty baked, but I haven't had any real sunburn - is this just me being stupid, or is it fine as long as you're not burning yourself?

I'm aware I'm strawmanning you, but I would rather have a nuanced serious discussion about this, than just some cliché "let's all be nice to each other" (although, that's mostly where I'm at as well, in terms of practical solutions lol).

It's not so easy as just being kind and gentle. What you are imagining is basically "Game B," and if you follow the dialogue around it at all, you know that it's fucking tricky to pull off. Some naive communist fantasy won't cut it.

Maybe. From my experience, ESFPs and ENFPs are what I'm looking for in a girl, and anything xNTx is what I'm looking for in a buddy. Of course, this is only a rough orientation. I'm not going out there and assessing people's types, before I start opening up to them.

I'm 100% certain, that I'm an INTP. I know some people that took the test and came out ESFJ, and they are the most vanilla people I know. I can't seem to find any way of opening up to these people, and I'm not going to play their little conformist games to please them. Maybe this has nothing to do with their type, but I can only go off the reference experiences I've had.

I thought so too. ESFJs bore me to death, and they usually think I'm a psychopath lol

This is an interesting conversation about having sex work as your life purpose. Also - why not? If you are creative and conscious about this, I think it can be an amazing life purpose.

Im trying to become a conscious leader and since I'm a pretty cerebral kind of guy, I take the approach of becoming a philosopher; I'm specifically working on understanding social psychology, sociology, political theory, economic theory, game theory, complex systems theory, history, ancient philosophy, epistemology, mythology, religion, rhetoric, marketing, social skills, thinking and deciding, technology, developmental psychology, body language (and many more sub-branches of these general themes). It's an overwhelming task, and I'm not sure what the best way to approach this is, but it's so rewarding to see how all this studying, contemplating and embodying my wisdom is slowly shaping me into what I want to become.

I'm positively not gay and I've given myself prostate orgasms before. I'm not hugely into it, but it's definitely not something you have to be gay for to enjoy. I used to talk shit to a buddy of mine who was into ass play, but once you loosen up a bit, and don't take yourself too seriously, it's a nice thing to have in your repertoire.

LOL I met two people recently that I would both type as ESFPs, and I fucking love being with them. Maybe they are ESFJs as you said, I'm not an expert, they just gave me the vibe of being ESFP. But idk about this being a mismatch. Even when I consider an ESFP in the abstract, that's the kind of person I want to go on an adventure with. I'm definitely an INTP though. EDIT: I just read the article and it says ESFP is my best match. I knew it

That's just pure pragmatism. All the beauty and depth of these works will be lost on you, if you just read a summary. This is the equivalent of just accepting a mathematical formula at face value, without doing the derivation yourself. You may be able to use the formula, but you won't understand mathematics this way.

You don't understand what I'm talking about. Evolution is way more primordial and fundamental than history. These processes have been there long before humans even existed.

These dynamics precede society and social norms millions of years. You can look at it from a sociocultural perspective, and the conclusion will be different. I'm just offering one perspective here.

Because then your son's wont get pussy and your genes won't spread.

What a woman wants from an evolutionary perspective is a loyal man and player sons, and the surest way to get player sons, is by having a reformed player as a man.

From a selfish gene/evolutionary biology perspective, the player will inherit his player genes to his offspring, who in turn will pregnate lots of women and inherit their mother's genes to their offspring. So the woman spreads her genes as much as possible, while also having a man that provides for her offspring.

I'm an INTP and I love spending time with ESFPs. The amount of energy and good vibes that these people can tap into always amazes me. I love going out with them. They are like a magnet for new people and opportunities, while I have the wits and good judgement, that helps us navigate the chaos and make the right decisions. I also feel like we bring out the best in each other - while they will do their thing out there and drag me along by the hand, I can use my creativity and wisdom to make them see the world with new eyes. I just love this duo.

How do you plan on surviving when it's freezing outside? Assuming you have really thought this through all the way and don't see any alternative path, at least travel to India and join some kind of ashram or spiritual community. There you will at least get some shelter, food and be able to pursue your spirituality (which will be the only worthwhile thing left at that point). This seems pretty fucking naive to me overall though, and I would strongly urge you to consider your alternatives.

I love this one.

If you want to do this the commerical way, you will pay at least 2k for transportation and 2-5k for rooms. You can cut this significantly, if you are comfortable with hitchhiking, carsharing, couch surfing etc. I don't know why you would want to travel through Europe during that time of the year though. The weather will be awful and there won't be nearly as much action, as during the summer. Also, three months in Europe will probably bore you to death, if you're travelling alone (especially during that time of the year). Don't let me discourage you, I just don't want you to be disappointed.

Dall-E is pretty cool as well (pro tip: anything with DMT in it will look awesome XD).

Why choose? Set up your life in a way where you can enjoy both. I'm currently traveling around visiting all my friends and partying a lot, and it's fucking amazing, but I'm also looking forward to being alone and working on my life purpose again. I love the dialectic between both ends, it really makes you appreciate things more. I used to live basically like a hermit for 4 years, and it was amazing in a sense, but there was also always something missing. Nowadays I like to just go out once a week and have some fun and enjoy myself and then come back to my work with a clear head. I don't think I ever want to go back to either extreme, socializing is a lot of fun, but doing serious work is also fucking meaningful, for me at least.
