@Annoynymous I never heard of red pill until this forum. I may be mistaken, but most seem angry towards women. They say a lot of angry things. Guess they can't get a women, so they are mad. I think they think an alpha male is aggressive, which isn't necessarily the case and can be a big turn off.

Look, they have been married 25 years, she's getting 1/2 the assets, how is that divorce rape? That's the law when a marriage dissolves. Also, he has another woman waiting in the wings that, per the article, he will marry when his and her (she's married too) divorce's are final. He isn't some kind of victim of his wife's actions, if that's where you were going with this. Not according to the article you posted at least.

They push the issue, to an uncomfortable level, of trying to be completely alone with you, prior to any real date of any kind or after one date. Big red flag (ie, let's just go back to my place or your place, etc). Also, they don't want to spend any money on you. They don't take you out to meet their friends. If you do take the bait and are alone with them, then be careful how far you go, if you don't want to get used. Not to mention, its incredibly dangerous for a woman to be completely alone with a man they don't know at all, if you know what I mean. Making them wait a month, at least, was my moto. If they won't wait, then they aren't looking for a serious girlfriend, they are looking for a hook-up.

What is she, a dog? A little respect for other human beings please.

Oh for crying out loud! ? Obviously, it's not love, but infatuation. However you could at least have good intentions, like wanting a date or get coffee to get to know her. Since you just want to use her for a fuck hopefully she will see through your BS and...run...fast. There are call-girls and websites to hook-up for sex, for that sorta thing, ya know. And guys wonder why good/quality girls are picky and give them a hard time (or the smart ones at least). Its because of exactly what you said, "you just want to fuck her", then drop her like a hot potato I'm sure. I doubt that's appealing to the normal woman.

@Meditationdude Are you the senses? No Are you the eyes that see? No Are you the mind in which things are seen? No Or can you see the mind? (Ie, thoughts) Are you the the witness to these things? Yes, you are the witness. So, who is "I"?

It was offensive. It's been hidden.

Haha?

@Shin hmm, interesting. Even if you just do it every other day? That's in moderation to me.

Hehe, never thought I'd see men so excited to not masturbate anymore I personally don't think masturbation in moderation is a big deal. Just my 2 cents. @Serotoninluv Great post.

@VeganAwake You needed knocked off your high horse Also, stop insinuating you are speaking to ppl that know or have realized, less than you.

Calming the mind is part of preparing it for Self-realization. I understand what your talking about. I see that. No need, I don't consider you a messiah. Hmm, not too long ago you posted a post on open forum, referenced me in it, it was sooo inappropriate it had to be hidden by mods. So, I don't believe you.

@blankisomeone ((Hugs)) ❤

Yes. You are preaching in many posts just on this thread, imo. Preaching to me is talking "at" ppl thinking you are absolutely right and not open to discussion. My opinion, is you are speaking neo-advaita (no practice) and to me it's not helpful and you didn't answer one single question I asked you. I don't think you answered @Nahm questions either. Which further makes me question your advice to others. I don't doubt that you "think" you are right, but you may need to rethink it. If you are trying to help others, then know that everyone's path is different and many need to meditate (clears/calms the mind), do Self-inquiry and neti-neti, concentration upon the Self (I am), study of ancient scripture, spiritual teachings....its all valuable.

Here comes the personal attack, then your spiritual ego puffing itself up, because you didn't like me questioning you.

You don't think Self- inquiry is a useful practice for Self-realization? If you knew nothing of awakening or enlightenment and didn't do practices, then how would you turn within? Would that even make sense to you, if someone just told you to turn within? Wouldn't you think they were talking of thoughts, feelings and emotions? How are they to see that the little "me" is illusion without spiritual teachings or practice, such as neti-neti, Self- inquiry, etc? What your preaching is very neo-advaita, emphasizing the direct recognition of the non-existence of the "I" or "ego," without the need of preparatory practice. Telling ppl caught in the experiential world that they are illusory, or that nothing can be done to attain enlightenment is not helpful.

@EddieEddie1995 ?? ...Normally, monkey mind (thought) will continue. Just know its mind stuff and not...you.

Nice. It's one reason why ppl do extreme sports . The monkey mind usually shuts up, even if there's lots of screaming. ?

There is an opioid epidemic here in the US. Sooo many ppl are dying, specifically from heroin overdoses that child services can't find enough foster homes for the orphaned children. My friends 18 yr old son died of heroin OD the first time trying it. Also, a girl that was in my nursing class was found dead a year later with a heroin needle in her arm in her bathroom. My point is, ppl from good families, smart ppl, ppl that should know better are trying this stuff and dying. So, don't..try...it.

Yes, I know. I could name a few names, but that would be rude of me. ? I think pointing it out to them, as they complain, is important for them to look inward as to why they are doing it? I think it's a self defense mechanism of some sort. Sort of like, I can't get a GF, so I'll just talk shit about them, so I won't want one so much.
