Sounds great to me. I am all for it. You just won't find me shitting myself in a carton box.

The Matrix is the most overrated movie if all time. "What if all this us just not real?" Yeah what about it? I realized all that when I was 10 years old playing Sonic The Hedgehog on my 16 bit Sega. I was like: "Mmm what if all this is not real. What if all this is just a video game and I am just living a storyline". Like seriously people needed that movie to realize that? Like you can't come up with that yourself? It's not that profound.

So you want to live in your Mom and Dad's Matrix?

You are setting the bar very low. What do you want to do with your life?

Yeah well ok then, but don't be doing LSD around your parents. It's not rocket science to understand that's just not a smart thing to do. Also you are not getting laid, getting laid goes a whole lot easier when you got your own place. So it's a vicious circle. You think you are doing the easy thing by saving a little money, but you are actually making life much harder on your self. By staying with your parents you are not self-developing.

@SQAAD Also do you live with your parents and sister? You should be careful about what you do around your parents. Also handle your basics as a young guy. Living on yourself etc. Basically as a 18/19 Yeats old guy you should not be living with your parents imo.

@SQAAD Are you ever getting laid to begin with?

Sometimes they do it on purpose. It's a basic level shit test.

I was with the same girl from age 18 to 28. After that I was a player for like 6 or 7 years. I think being in a relationship gives you a great foundation to focus on your life purpose. I agree you that it gets hard to relate when you go overboard though. I think I had been so focussed on making cool shit happen until age 28 that I totally threw all the other things to the side. Things like chasing women, drinking, partying, etc. I think it's still a side to life that a man needs to have seen. If only to realize the ugly sides to life and relationships. If someone has never experience that, or they drifted too far away from that a long time ago, they tend to get a little smug. They actually start to believe that their house of cards (their life/relationship) is actually something real and solid that can't fail. Reality is that house of cards can collapse or be set on fire very easy at any time. In the end we got to balance out all out. All facets of life.

Swimming And hiking in moderation If you don't want to fuck up your joints. Also you ate a young guy now. If you let yourself go after 30 your joints will start to fucking hurt. Old injuries. I worked out hard in my late teens early twenties. Boxing, running, weightlifting. All hard on the joints. Then in my late twenties early thirties I got way out of shape + a bad diet. A bad lifestyle catches up with you. Not overnight, not in a week, not even a month or a year. But over the years it does. Especially after 30. Make sure you keep in shape.

Your new girl might suck a bowling ball trough a straw. That will make you forget that old girl real fast.

Couples can fight, I don't think there is anything wrong with that per se. What I found more disturbing though is that her mom disrespects you as well. Now it's not just between you and her. Now it is just open disrespect that has extended to the outside world. I have dealt with that as well in a past relationship, and although it bothered me, not until years later after that relationship do I fully realize how messed up that was. If your girl is not going to stick up for you towards other people then you got to let her go man.

Its just very different now. Nowadays it's pretty much expected that you follow a secondary education after Highschool. That's a lot of extra pressure. Before WW2 most people didn't go to college. Also a lot of work used to be manual labor. That and there was not all this junk food around. So people naturally were fit. Fit like hitting the gym 5 days a week fit. Also the whole dating g/relationship game was mapped out. People didn't date around usually. It was the church and the village that played match maker. And then people got married in their late teens/early twenties and divorce was taboo. So that whole thing was taken care of. That's just a few examples. If you just take the pressure of going to college and dating away from modern life that makes a huge difference. Life was harder back in the day, but in a lot of regards also a lot simpler.

@Shakazulu there is nothing to congratulate. A relationship is nothing to get all smug about. When you get to that point, please remember that.

@SageModeAustin She is your FWB but you want her to be more then your FWB right? In that case you should start calling things by their name and not call her your FWB.

I would engage with you but then I would be dumb ?

At first it was like that. It took going trough a lot of girls. And for a while having multiple girls in a rotation once. That whole process took a good 6 years. Now I am at the point where I know that if I choose to, I will have sex with a new girl starting from scratch within two weeks guaranteed, probably earlier. That knowledge is good enough for me to keep an abundance mindset. I don't capitalize on it be I could if I wanted to. That, and now I got a live in girlfriend I get even more choosing signals from women then before. It's funny how that works. Got to say though that the relationship has opened up a lot more time and stability to go to the gym, eat healthy, more focus for career etc, just generally more relaxed and rested. I lost over 20 lbs/10 kg since the beginning of the year, and straightened out some other stuff. Basically making me a higher value male since I got committed. Ironically. But to answer your question: Yeah starting out having a rotation can definitely work for you.

@noip This one is perfect for what you describe ?

Well that's self-improvement right there. When your heroes become your rivals that means you are playing in their league now.

Thanks

@Aldo Or maybe if you are conscious enough you would know better then to screw with Teal ?

@noip

Same gist, different wording.

@Pilgrim I think everyone stumbles over this bullshit sometime in their life. "I am not ready" "Let's take it slow" Or my favourite. " I have been hurt before". Well guess what: Everyone has been hurt before. Life can be tough. Get over it. If you find someone great to be with, then who fucking cares if you have been hurt before by some dumb fuck right? I would not entertain that bullshit. If you do you will get to see this shit: "Let's take it slow". Well how slow do you want to go? Because at some point you go so slow if you go any slower you go backwards. Bottom line is if he wanted to he would.

Lol. Julien Blanc is a legendary PUA. It's like saying what if you would play basketball 1 on 1 against LeBron James. Not too many people who can do that. Same thing if you want to try school Leo on metaphysical stuff. Kind if like pissing against the wind. I prefer to appreciate teachers for what they got to offer. Then you can mix and match your own. I am not going to admire a dolphin for climbing trees. One thing I got to say about Leo though, he has produced so much quality content over the years FOR FREE. You just don't see that level of content being offered for free anywhere else. That, and Leo has been keeping it raw and real. I don't necessarily vibe with all Leo's content or agree with all his views on every subject but he has always been doing his own thing. He has never sold out. You got to respect that.
