Not sure about the desire to fit in. The vibe I got from these people is a desire to fight the mainstream and there is a sense of pride in doing so. But in a sense they are fitting in, just with the people that are fighting the system. Sure I would agree, that's why this is so tricky and not so obvious. That's the online world these days, polarization squared. Can you recommend any sources that have a fairly objective perspective on this Israel - Palestine issue. Hasan seems quite objective on the issue?

Nice thread, I've been thinking lately about what makes people attracted to ideologies like facism because an old friend of mine started going deep into these rabbit holes. I don't even know how respond to the stuff he sends me, mostly because I'm not educated on these issues - but even if I was, I don't think debating with him is going to make any difference. Your client is a great example that even if you're somewhat self-aware and open for change, it can still be a lot of work until you find the root of the problem instead of projecting it onto others. Let alone dealing with someone who will call you an 'NPC' just because you tell them to be more skeptical and careful when dealing with these ideas. This is what this friend sent me the other day, and he said, quote; "This is The Thruth word for word" But what I found weird about this video, is that I couldn't find a comment that agrees with Piers, so am I really an NPC? lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KICYv4O03CA&t=2s

I recently started fishing and now I'm triggered.

I love that Trump thinks there's life on Mars, even Joe was surprised by that statement lol

I wouldn't say it's horrible but I understand why it's looked down upon. Usually it takes less effort to build a business around your sexuality if you're good looking. But I'm not sure if that's even true considering there is probably too much competition in the webcam/OF industry.. And the future of AI in combination with VR/AR could make the competition even stronger.. I would say this is nasty lol ... Overall I don't care and I don't judge, but most people do. And if you're okay with that, go capitalize on it!

Actually there was a Yugoslav war in the 90's in which my country suffered a lot and it's still holding us back compared to the rest of the Europe

Because they've adopted the ideology of being helpless and think there is no hope in even trying.. They blame alpha males, women, social media etc. and they've build a huge community of people that feel the same.

He was not pushed by the media, quite the opposite. He was literally banned from all (social) media. What helped him push through is a high carisma (common with sociopaths) which made his videos 'shareable' and kept him on the surface.

I have only been with Latina escorts so my experience is limited, but from what I've seen they're much more warm and playful.. Usually we would play some reggaeton and dance instead of just going "right at it".. Dark skin, hair & eye colored girls were always my thing so it's just a preference.

Btw. If anyone is interested check out the model of Vultology which is basically a study of body language/facial expressions.. This is a video for TiNe or INTP which I think Leo is.. Check it out and see if this looks like Leo to you.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-vYc-uVsj4 Another great channel on Socionics https://www.youtube.com/@WorldSocionics

Never heard of this personality model, there are so many out there it seems.. I would say the Coleric fits me the most, reminds me of my MBTI type which is ENTJ Look into MBTI/Socionics, it's much more in depth

This a tricky one.. I know few people like that and from what I've seen, they never change no matter how much their financial situation improves. One of these guys was recently complaining how he had to pay most of the money to cover his fathers funeral and I was shocked that he used this situation and turned in into a talk about money.. So I think there is a deeper problem, he might have developed some trauma from the times when he had no money so now he's too careful about it and almost insecure. Try to bring this idea to him and see if he's open to the possibility that this might be the case or even therapy to work on this issue.. Generosity is a really masculine trait so I understand why you would get turned off by that, so give it some more time and in the meanwhile work on yourself to figure out if this would be a dealbreaker for you.

Well I can also make an argument that you as a guy that slept around & had his fun will also continue "window shopping" as you say it, because you will realize that conservative girls are not as 'fun' as the progressive ones and you will miss the wild sex & adventure that the more expericed women are able to provide..

You dont suck, but rather you quit before seeing results. Forget about step-by-step process, just make the first step - make a non-reversable decision that you are going to build a business no matter what and you will figure out your what your passion is along the way.. By making this thread you've made commitment to at least pick yourself up and make a first step, however small it will be.. Escorts are also illegal here in Croatia but I found a website with advice & reviews literally with a 2 min google search. There is a high possibility this will be true for your area as well. Most escorts I visited were so chill & openminded and I think this can help you shift your mindset in the right direction. Don't compare yourself to others but rather embrace your "fucked up" uniqueness.. Enjoy the struggle, can you do that? Can you try to approach the girl and enjoy the adrenaline rush that comes with going out of the boring comfort zone? I'm sure you can!

And also a survival tactic where a taller guy would be able to protect you more, which is not even true

What can be helpful is if you try to dance at home, make it a habit. This works for me because by default, Im not really in touch with my body or sensations so dancing can get me out of my head and turn my focus inward. Play your favourite music and just enjoy yourself, it would be weird if someone sees you but it's the same thing as talking to yourself lol

Most of them just want a guy that's taller then they are.. You're taller than the 'average women' so don't stress about it.

I know where you coming from and I'm in a similar situation, living in a small area where meeting new people on a daily basis is not an option. I personally haven't ever been so 'low' because of it, and even if I did and I shared my story that you can relate to - what good would this bring you? This would be like making a pity party that can maybe offer you some temporary relief, but in the long run it would keep you exactly where you're at. Try to work on some other things in your life like building a business, for me personally this takes so much time that I barely even have any left to think about girls (this can also be a problem so don't take it too far).. Build other non-romantic relationships with people, and if you already have friends - spend more time with them. One more thing which you might or might not be open to - look into escorts, it can release some of the pressure/sexual frustration. But at the same time work on moving to a larger populated city where you can meet girls by approaching.

First time that I heard about him, I see he's quite 'popular' on this forum so I gave this video a shot.. The funny thing is that he's constantly interupting himself just so tell his editor to put the whiteboard with course links in frame, at the end he tried to physically pull the whiteboard as close to him so it's visible from all angles lol It felt like I was watching a hour long sales pitch so this kind of ruined my first impression, I also got 'fake guru' vibes from him - my intuition might be wrong on this one tho' The thing he said about being in the moment and outcome independent I would agree, but this is not something groundbreaking as he presents it to be..

Schizophrenics usually don't think something is wrong with them so don't worry haha

It's okay to feel bad about anything but the questions is for how long? Because this feeling will over time turn into depression and resentment that builds up will make you turn to toxic ideologies. Nothing good about that will come about! I'm sure you also have some unfair advantages compared to other people, use them for your and other people benefit. It will make you feel good and most people will appreciate it.. You have to change your mindset, otherwise even if you do start getting results with girls not a thing will change about your overall wellbeing. I understand your POV and it's easier said than done, but look at these hurdles with a "challenge accepted" mindset.

I guess that initial spark that you get when you meet someone new can sometimes be so powerful. With all the benefits that you get from LTR, that spark is something that can 'force' people to infidelity. As for the 'empty feeling' you get after hookups, I kind of get what you mean but it's maybe more common with women, at least I would think so.. But I would assume my opinions on this would probably change as I get older and more mature. For the OP - I would just be direct about it on the 1st date, I usually do it over messages
