Absolutely, if you live in a safe environment and can focus on the small things, those things get better. Sweden and Switzerland are great examples. Both are high on the spiral. Neither has been at war for the last 200 years. Both are is naturally multicultural and have been so for a very long time.(Sweden has Sami and Finnish peoples)(Swiss have french, german Italians). Both are safe from natural disasters. Both have great trade opportunities due to their location. -
Nice guys are like juice, they ruin your health but you still think you should be consuming it Long story short, don’t consume juice, it’s mostly just natural sugar. Smoothies are the healthy alternative.

@Nichts Personal development.

I’ve done a shorter PD online course, however not related to pick up. I found It useful, however I was given an opportunity to beta test it and therefor access it for free. 3k is a bit much, an advantage of the price is that you’ll really take what you hear/feed back seriously. Best of luck either way.

Suffer until nothing in normal life can even remotely compare.

My mothers new "boyfriend" is the pinnacle of nice. On the one hand, he is constantly late (and disrespectful timewise) and on the other tries to buy our approval by buying candy or offering compliments, constantly. I find his company awful and try to avoid him like the plague. Why? Because it feels so incredibly dishonest and manipulative, furthermore I have no respect for him. I, on the other hand, have only given him a single compliment for the last 6 months and I haven't bought him anything. The only reason I show him respect is for my mother's sake. Now, why does he do this? Is he malicious and tries to take from us? No, he just wants what everyone wants, to be approved and be liked by others. However, he makes a crucial mistake in how to achieve this. He believes that the way to get the others approval is to be nice to them and some degree this works, however only with children. Let a kid use your shovel in the sandbox and they'll like you. As adults, we don't want to be friends with people who are just nice to us. We might want to keep them around for free stuff or because we are desperate. Now you might say, well I am honestly nice and don't do it to make people like me. While that's probably an honest belief but notice how we are taught to be nice to others at a young age. It becomes a subconscious behaviour that we internalize to maintain social success from an early age. So how to change in practice? Don't be nice to people for no apparent reason, someones in big trouble, sure help them out. People want to you carry their bag for you when they could just carry it themself, don't. You see a pretty girl, don't tell her she is pretty, she has heard that a million times before. You meet a new person, don't ask for things you don't care about like their name. You get the picture. Apply this to new people you meet.

I'd avoid having a relationship with her.

@Shakazulu who told you that?

Being more masculine or a alpha male is not something you should strive for. Should you strive to more more feminine? No, you should try to best the best version of yourself.

Yup. Seems like a unhealthy relationship.

If you are getting friend zoned you’re not being clear enough from the start. You have 3 options. 1. Be clear about wanting to be in a relationship/sex. Not by saying it but by flirting/teasing her. 2. Be vague and probably end up getting friend zoned. 3. Honestly want to be friends. Oddly enough this often leads to her wanting more (ime).

You guy's should definitely pick chill options, that people don't hate to much. Even if you really like let's say Bernie, you'll need a lot of votes including Republican votes and I have a feeling they're skeptical when it comes to socialism. Imagine you get some meh guy/girl that doesn't do much good or bad, it's definitely worth it compared to what you got now. Picking Joe Biden is also really risky. Furthermore going slooooow is the way to go when it comes to a big change like going social democratic, why? To prevent backlash and making mistakes that result in you abandoning the whole thing.

If you’d like to share the texting conversation with us, we can give you more specific pointers. If you do make sure to blur out names.

I’ve noticed that girls that are really into you from the start are the once that you get somewhere with. You don’t charm girls via just texting. When I say really into you I mean they’ll wanna met up within the first few messages and often give random compliments.

Lets say you meet a guy, he is your type and he, like you, haven’t done the deed. Regardless of what happens you’ll never meet him again. Here is what I think is going to happen. You’re not going to embarrass yourself and even if you do, he probably wouldn’t notice. For guys losing their virginity is a huge deal and he’ll be as nervous as you are. Furthermore let’s just say you won’t have much time to embarrass yourself. It’s probably going to be a pretty lame experience since it’s his first time, so you wouldn’t “lose” control. Once you get the ball started it gets easier(I mean that metaphorically)

Does having sex once make you a chad?

People make mistakes, yes it sucks but they learn from them. You have made your thoughts clear and that’s all you should do. She will have to suffer enough until she realises his unsuitability herself. By taking drastic action you do her a disservice.

@Conscious life For some people it is. Depends on culture, gender and religions beliefs.

Being able to text well isn’t crucial however is a nice addition if the rest of you social skills are on point. I can offer some tips and tricks. 1. It’s almost never a good idea to text someone because your are bored or lonely. Like asking randomly asking how/what someone is doing. 2. Smilies are a useful addition to express emotions. However using them in almost every text feels dishonest. 3. Girls especially often write loooong texts, be it friend or romantic interest, responding to these texts briefly is generally not the best option. 4. Guys are often more to the point and often prefer if you are. However jokes are greatly appropriated. 5. Don’t get drunk and text your exes actually avoid texting in general when under the influence of drugs.

Girls thought of me as a fuckboy in uni. Semantics aside, it’s fine as long as you’re not coming off as annoying or predatory. I even avoided approaching unknown girls like the plague. In other words it’s all about how you do it. There nothing wrong with going up and chatting with a girl at a party for a minute or two. Staying for 10 minutes when she is clearly not interested is something else. My approach to getting (something) with girls is all about the long game. It’s feels more natural for me and you get to know her in different situations. So let’s say you go up to chat with her for a few minutes. You don’t need to get anything from the situation. No number, no girl going back to your place. However hopefully you’ve made a good impression and had a fun conversation (from your own point of view) She’ll probably recognise you at uni afterwards. If she’s interested maybe she’ll give you a wave or at least a smile. Things tend to go well from there one way or another. Sidenote, while this approach is safer it’s important that you don’t go up to like six girls each party. It’s preferable to take a chance in natural situations as possible. Say you are buying a drink and some girl is queuing for drink next to you. Furthermore I used parties as a example, you can approach girls in other situations also if you feel that would be appropriate. Don’t text girls in the evening or when drunk. Or simply to ask her what/how she is doing.

Multitasking is really bad for you, don't do that.

Something basic, some of his old vids. Nothing advanced or remotely spiritual.

Nope. I wouldn't want to date a girl who would break up with me because something "better" became available. I naturally wouldn't want a girl who cheat either. Also bothersome boyfriends are not really worth sex. Not to mention the bad karma.
