Barbarian Number 8

@Spiral ....-but!...I am _not_ bitter.... hehe

@TheSomeBody Since you ask, I think that a girlfriend is not for you at this point in time. The possibility should be considered. It is kind of funny that other people tryies to convince you about the "why". That desire should come from self not from somebody who sells you the idea...... I am bit suprised that noone havent tryied to sell you a boyfriend or sheep yet.

Zero. Haven´t found one yet. Sometimes it is like Brontosaurus-fishing. There is no way on earth that you are prepared for that that body belonged to that head.....and those demands that the add had on you. In Sweden fat unemployed masculine rude negative boring low educated selfentitled selfobsorbed fragile egos badly tatooed&pierced singlemothers with mentalproblemS have fantastic demands on their subdued "desired" mate. Why the demands?---Beacuse they are worth it.....it is also labeled "fake-feminism". I do think that most men are signing up for dating, whilst alot of girls are signing up for attention and praise/worship. However, should you be a collector of pics of girls doing the duckface and filtering the s**t out of their pic...online dating is a goldmine! In Asia it is much easier and actually fun.

The problem is not progress. The problem is "envy". To envy someone versus being inspired by someone seems to be the polaropposites. It would make your progress faster and more successful if you drew inspiration by someone. ...or!?....wait......considering that there is people who draws energy from negativity to propell them forward in life......envy could be the best "fuel" for you? Hmmm....maybe we should consider how you usally go about to succeed in life and manage obsticles? Sith or Jedi? You could be hmmm

@Girzo I am by nature a very careful (might be a wrong translation of "försiktig") person. I like to judge the effects on a person that I actually know. The results of people I have never met do matter, but not much in this matter. I have seen people before and after some time of different druguse, and that makes me fear it. My mind is sacred. If I saw a successful outcome, it would baffle me and I would have to recalculate the matter. The simple answear and most likely one would be: no.

Yes. But dealing with the source of it is better. Good luck!

@Jedd You got no muuuneeeyy.....tatoos is not your priority....money is. Maybe you should cover your basic needs and security before starting to paint yourself? Tatoos is not a purpose. They are just ink. Why do you not know this? I am confused. I meet alot of broke deptridden cheaply tatooed people who looks like bums and cannot get a job. They fail basic math, dont spend more than you earn. I sometimes wonder what those tatoos really means.

@Andre Quinonez They are planning to give you their business. You could make a living of it and have music as your hobby. If you leave, can they maintain the business or is all their efforts lost? Can you survive by yourself with only your music in the capital? What is most likely and realitygrounded...living of the business or the music?

-Haha that´s funny! At first I thought that "why not just keep the toads as pets"....but _then_ I saw the genius in it!.......when high as f....toads are much more difficult to catch than snails....

@Girzo No I have not. That is an answear. Maybe I should define a timeframe for expected show of failure? 10 years from first drug use. I am probably a paradox in opinoin, beacuse I think that smoking weed is/can be a good thing for painrelief and treating some mental illnesses. However, I do think that it comes with a price. Ja, considering your friend....I am glad it had a positive outcome. Ofcourse there is another aspect to take into consideration. Should the "reward" be in the now or in the future? Is both possible? Example..: Chemicly Enlightened as f now and just f upped later. Give it another two cents!

@DaveB Time is your friend. Grandmothers tend to be old........ Avoid the rest. See how and if the develop.

I am surrounded by them. Better blend in.

Hellå Slade! I liked that you added the "to you"-part, since I believe that varies from person to person. Like what is beauty? I would consider somebody kind, happy, minimalist, calm, curious, focused, exploring, mature, selfmotivated, constructive, considerate, respectful and capable of original thinking and not a lemming....to be advanced. Your question is really good, beacuse it made me start to write down positive adjektives. So consider my list a first draft. Would you mind giving me your list? I hope to pick some good things of it. May I ask you why you consider drugs? Have you watched Leos clips about drugs? I am open to the idea that he might find out something good. But he also got quite the toolbox that most people dont have. I am curious about his experiment, althou I am pessimistic about the outcome. He seems like a good person, but it is for selfish reasons that I dont want him to fry his brain. He have taught me alot of useful things and I want more.

That was pathetic. A true looser mindset. That mindset is poison. ...soo..if "bad-genetics-people" don´t get to have the one they want...how come there is sooo many of them? There is much to learn from that clip. Mostley bout oneself. It is however difficult to respond to the clip if person and thought/thesis is not seperated. He seems to be a nice likable dude, but I strongly disagree with his discussionpoint.

@Hardkill Money can solve that problem.

Right now I want to taste a nice peach and a nice sets of melons and a firm applebm to. It goes well with my longtime goal of exploring and experiencing the world. I am simple. ...and think that one gets flavor from mixing high consious goals with hardcoded ones.

The exploring part was good advice....the use of chemicals ideá less so. I have yet to meet an advanced person who did drugs. They always seems to end up as wrecks and former tragycomical shadows of someone they used to or could have been. But...that might be your path and you might succed at it...in one way or another.

@Ray Hello Ray! I have never made a visionboard and seeing that you have a very popular thread, I thought it good to ask you. What is the thinking behind it? Goal? Strategy? How do one pick the pictures? There seem to be alot of pictures about other thinkers...and Yoda (that was funny btw ). How do one use the visionboard? Thank You in advance for the answear!

Men are visiual. Consider the amount of grooming and deciving aids a woman can choose from and compare it to a mans. Money talks. Even in Sweden that can be noticed.

Sometimes it is a good thing to take advice from people that seen and done both perspectives. Sure, one can construct all kinds of logical mazes and add value&PC beliefs to anything. ....but.....looking att Mr. Sadhguru....I really doubt that he lived the life of a player. Sure, I can see the appeal of somebody who failed in a certain area, that they desired, to need somebody to tell them that it was a good thing. I could be a good thing, but it also could be a weak ego protecting itself. There is a saying: "One persons garbage is another persons gold".......maybe the journey of life should be personalized? Rather then judged and determined by other people, whom try to make you live their life? So banging alot of kittens might be the right thing for some and having bad hairgrooming and a smelly loincloth is the right thing for someone else.

Hello people! Since you are also into selfdevelopment, I wonder how you, as a "Thinker", go about to meet ladies with the intent to form a longterm relationship? I don´t like or manage the barscene with the loud music and dude-bros very well. It bores me and I don´t like drunk people. When looking at dating sites; everybody says that they spend a lot of time at the gym, and still they use a dating site....sooo...I guess the gym is a bad place to meet people too? I like to meet somebody that is into selfimprovment and a conscious deliberate life. Where are these people in female form to be found??? I thought that university at Psychology studies would be a good place to look. -Holy shiet NO I went there just to find somebody and figured Psychology would be a nice complement to selfactualization also. I was dissaponted over the shallow/inmature kind of people there and Psychology....welll...lets say it was not usefull. So I am out of idéas and would like to hear your thoughts in the matter. Thank You very much for Your input!

@blacksapp -Ja, it does. Also grooming and scent are hugely important. They are very sensitive to brandnames, not necessarily in actual writing like the blatant DG thou. I do 3 styles: The longtime "TEVA-traveller", Adidas&SOC, H&M man.

@rothko I think that most people who are actually bald/balding got a problem with it. It seems that hair signals virility and youth. Without it one is doomed to a life with TV-dinners and lavender-lotion. One I know of took a wellknowned treatment and had some regrow success, but...at the cost of a failing libido. Whats the point of "being attractive" but not able to performe? Kind of a conundrum? Strangely enough I actually prefer no hair. It mesh well with my minimalist lifestyle. Also I like the feeling of it. I am not sure that women actually find it unattractive. They usually seems to find it intriguing and are very tactile. I guess it is the stark contrast to their own lush long hair that fascinates them. Some friends of mine work in violent professions and they all have shaved heads and their "alpha-status" only seems enhanced by it. I do think that you have a good point about "worldly desires and all that". It may be a sign of a temporary sage to be bald. We will have to ask about Leo´s point of view

...-Just something that I have noticed.....selfdeveloping people tend to be bald..... ......monks are bald...Leo is bald...I am bald....are you bald? Is it a "thing"? Is it a sideeffect of minimalism? Would fuzz on top mean that one is vain?

@Jamesc Why not? Not all enlightened people lives in a cave without plumbing. Some lives near a pizzeria and work for a living.
