Tease her about a imaginary need for a rebound?

Try to spend 25-50% of your income after tax. It’s good for the economy. Remember! You don’t get rich from saving.

Must say, I’m a bit skeptical. How does this play out in practice?

Some place warm, beach could be a great non-drinking opportunity.

Doing an actively you really enjoy and with people who really enjoy it as well makes this sort of thing waaaaaay easier. I don’t like dancing for instance so clubs aren’t a good match for me. No wants to hang out with the bored guy.

Tldr: it’s a difficult and complex issue. If you tax the rich, they often leave for greener pastures. If they stay they care less about making money especially if you take more than half. Which creates fewer jobs and less prosperity. Furthermore it promotes tax evasion. Lastly they are powerful and influential which makes it more difficult to ‘go against’ them.

That is what happens when men want the affection of women. As oppose to the respect and approval of their follow man. The latter leads to the former anyway.

The opposite of conservative is progressive. Conservatives typically are quite liberal. Liberal and conservative are both right wing. While stage yellow is right wing it’s technically more similar to stage green progressivism/socialism than some stage blue conservativism.

It’s completely fine as long as you‘re clear in your voice that’s it not actually friendship you’re after.

The average woman will leave the average man. Who cares? Just don’t be the average man and you’ll be fine. It’s not even difficult. Here is my three step program to be top 80% 1. Have a job. 2. Don’t consume porn. 3. Don’t play video games.

Do you agree or disagree with the videos message? Haven’t seen it, but I’m guess I won’t agree.

@aurum As a Swedish person I’m amazed that I didn’t know this was a think. Guess you learn something every day. I suppose the thai don’t call it a Thai massage either.

I typically hang out with the girl’s friend(s). They are waiting and so am I after all.

No, some are quite tasty actually.

I’m 26. Got friends, a pretty good job, eating alright, doing alright with the opposite sex. Family situation is alright. However, life’s boring. I’m not enjoying anything anymore. Got no libido, no interest in socializing. Alcohol or similar drugs don’t interests me. I’m not spending time on social media or watching porn either. Life is just meh, dull and repetitive. I lost about how to change it.

@something_else A programmer and a software engineer are two different professions. That may have been your point however

I’m all for it.

Back in the day, I lost my virginity thru these sorts of apps. That was many years ago. I am however a good looking guy and never struggled with girls.

What’s your life like? Or rather how to you currently spend your day. And what do you want more specifically? Friends?

@gettoefl I would be wary of not consider something that comes from within a belief. Regardless of whether or not it’s true. It is easy to misunderstand the truth and thus hold false beliefs. There is nothing wrong with holding spiritual beliefs. Bonus points if the happens to actually reflect reality. And even if the don’t but make you happy thats great to.

It potentially hurts someone’s feelings and that’s mean.

Girls struggle on average less in social situations. They have more friends in general. The dating aspect isn’t something that I would consider that impactful.

One thing that goes a long way with girls is honestly trying. Not just with them, but with every aspect to your life. Workout and eat healthy food. Wear nice and clean clothes. Mix it up, don’t wear the same thing two days in a row. Get your shit together and girls will be more attracted to you. You’ll probably end up more successful whatever you do for a living also because people can tell when someone don’t care. Some things are really shallow but you also feel more confident by doing them. It’s not actually about the new shirt you’re wearing today, it’s caring that matters.

Not read it (since I’m a guy) but perhaps Dear Lover by David Deida could do the trick. Although it’s quite sexual in nature.

A dangerous thing to do. It’s really hit or miss. Depending on how you do it and how she is as a person.
