I just watched the video. How does it help you with your goal to get better with women? Is it just like, "Haha. Yeah, women are delusional." while feeling validated and everything else stays the same. Or does it actually concretely help you meet women?

That's been my experience too that it's a continuation of other non-sexual forms of communication.

Yes, that's an important point. Men tend to like to feel like they're having a powerful positive effect towards their partner. So, open emotional expression shows him his impact on you. And there's also the vicarious enjoyment of experiencing a woman who's in touch with her emotions and body.

He's said so himself that he doesn't have a wife or children.

Definitely 100% bad faith from the beginning... but more convincing back then. Also, that's surprising that these Jubilee videos are actually doing something positive. I had always chalked them up to just being a way to "both sides" some really cut and dried issue. Like, I would only be slightly surprised to see a Jubilee video that's like "Child murderers versus Parents" where both sides share the "merits" of their arguments. But it's good to know that this format is actually exposing the weaknesses and inconsistencies of the paradigms that these right wing pundits operate off of. Perhaps this format really does throw some light on the realities of what these pundits believe, for political normies. -
There's more to it than that. Remember... there is good and bad sex... and both involve penetration and going back and forth. Good sex is more like a communicative dance. And it usually takes a while to learn how to stay in sync with one another... and to keep the communication going throughout the experience. And there's a learning curve that newbies (male and female) have to go through to get to that point.

My experience has been that mature men tend to want a woman who is roughly on the same page as them, sexually and otherwise. And men who are over a certain age who are all about virginity just come across like they never quite grew up. This may be something that you're not tuned into as a guy in his early 20s. But it's important to be aware of how it's perceived by adult women and adult society in general. But the main issue with what you're posting here is that you're making these posts off of random conjectures when you haven't even had sex yourself. And it's not a problem that you haven't had sex yet, in itself. There is no shame in being a virgin. Lots of guys your age are in the same boat. But you should recognize that you really don't even know what you're going to like yet. All you have is fantasies. And those fantasies may not be all they're cracked up to be in actuality. For example, when I was fantasizing before I lost my virginity, I thought that I was going to be into 69ing and BDSM switching with all the ropes and accouterments. (I just thought the BDSM look was sexy, so it had become short-hand for sex) And I had my first serious boyfriend what I was 16 who I lost my virginity to. And I lived with him and his family until I moved away for college at 18. So, over the course of about a year and half living together, we tried out a lot of things sexually... including those fantasies. And I was really surprised to find that those things I'd been fantasizing about, just didn't do it for me. First off, 69ing is super annoying because trying give and receive at the same time is awkward and no one can surrender to the receiving because there is a responsibility to keep giving. I don't see why anyone likes it at all. And the BDSM thing just didn't do much for me. It was cool looking... but it didn't push any buttons. And then, things that I hadn't fantasized or even thought about before did do it for me. Like I was surprised at how much I liked the feeling of skin-to-skin contact. I hadn't even considered that I might enjoy the more vanilla or cuddly parts of sex because they weren't part of my pop culture/porn education about sex... and they didn't seem as interesting as other more "flashy" sexual acts. Point being, you don't even know what you like yet.... let alone other men your age... let alone fully grown mature men.

Yes, that's a great point. It has to be without agenda... as agenda and manipulation is going into Masculine energy. But if she just shares her feelings with no expectations that is her in the Feminine. And it tends to draw a man in toward her.
-
I don't believe that the majority of full grown men would agree that a virgin is more attractive or interesting to have sex with. The reality is that virgins (male and female) are inexperienced and will tend to fumble around in the bedroom. That's why the first sexual experience is usually very mutually awkward. But I can understand how a lad who is also a virgin himself might prefer a virgin woman... as both parties will be going in blind to the experience and he won't feel as much insecurity or pressure to perform well at something he himself has no experience in.

Yes, all sources that I've read from or listened to have been in agreement about which chakras are associated with which polarity. I haven't heard anyone stating otherwise in the 12 or 13 years that I've known information about chakras. Same thing with the colors of the chakras and what facet of experience they're associated with.. The sources have been quite consistent about what each chakra relates to. And there is a lot of consistency between all sorts of archetypal systems to characterize that which is Masculine as higher and non-physical and to characterize the Feminine as lower and physical. It's even a thing in American sign language to do the female signs lower and male signs higher. So... very consistent in, not just the chakra system... but in most systems of human meaning. But while there has been consistency in the use of the model, of course most people don't relate to the chakra system in a deep way. Most people relate to it at face value... unless someone dives very deeply into the topic. For me, I've read a couple books on the topic, and I've watched quite a few videos on the topic over the years. But it's more of a passing knowledge. And the way I've used it has been mostly just another archetypal system of meaning that I use to cross-reference with other archetypal systems to tease out the meaning of symbols in dreams, synchronicities, and stories. But I was doing some Kundalini yoga about a decade ago. And I certainly experienced energy up the spine... just not evidently organized into vortexes.

You're reading too much sincerity into his public statements. Any waffling he does is to give off the vibe of nuanced intellectual professor-type who is moderate, open-minded, and willing to admit he doesn't know and question everything, so that he can bring up "thought experiments" about (his) fringe political takes with plausible deniability and the veneer of "just asking questions" in the eyes of political normies. So, he knows he can be more effective at that goal if he never takes a solid position on anything... but rather generally hints in the direction of the ideology he wants to plant the seeds for by getting others to open themselves up to questioning everything... even the meaning of basic words. It's been his game the entire time. So, of course he was never going to directly admit to being Christian... as that is part of the worldview he's trying to usher everyone into. And he has to keep that 'hush hush' as to not scare away the normies. But now, he's just gotten a lot worse at playing the game that he's been playing for the past decade. So, it just comes across like he has no position at all... in a deliberately obtuse way. But he definitely has an ideology... and a really closed sense of what's right. The waffling and uncertainty is and has always been just a dog and pony show. The dog and pony show of "Who can say what I believe?" just isn't as convincing anymore. -

Jordan Peterson has ALWAYS been pulling this trick of... "Say something that sounds complex and intellectual... and endlessly obfuscate what you really mean and avoid taking a stance in order to maintain mainstream appeal. And do this by dog whistling for far-right talking points under the guise of being a neutral moderate intellectual that's being open-minded and 'considering all perspectives'... in order to grease the wheels to send normies further down the far-right pipeline towards more openly extreme voices." And many have recognized this from the very beginning with him. But he fooled many. It seems to me that, after his opiate addiction, he lost several steps. So, now he can't do the obfuscation convincingly anymore. And now, it's glaringly obvious to the average person that all he does is gish gallop all over the place and engage in intellectual dishonesty by means of splitting hairs and endlessly questioning the definition of words. -

I don't know a ton about Ralston. I read his "Book of Not Knowing" which was really quite brilliant and helpful for emptying your cup. And I've watched a few of his videos... but not many. In the little bit that I know of him, he seems fine... but I don't know him well enough to even know the criticisms. -
Leo might not be the best person to ask because he doesn't have a wife or children. But the best thing you can do is to open yourself up to deeper connection with a woman... and develop a healthy social circle that includes both women and men. That is probably going to be your best bet for developing deep friendship and connection with a woman, which is the basis of longterm pair-bonding. So, I'd imagine that you might be in a position where you've never had a girlfriend because you haven't been socializing with women... or perhaps you haven't been socializing enough in general. To remedy this, you'll want to get a lot more social.
