Mindfulness= Success in Dating? (Question for Leo...and others)

[emind]

So, I know this is going to seem extremely petty but it is something that I genuinely wonder and have experienced to a certain extent. Does having no attachments, and being fully present to immediate reality enhance your ability to attract people when dating? I can remember certain periods in my life wherein the presence that I had cultivated seemed to just overflow my own inner reality and translate into others, making girls magnetically attracted to me. Does this happen to you Leo? Or any of you guys? 

I feel this kind of screws up my consciousness work  though, because I feel like Im constantly fighting an internal battle between relinquishing sexual desire and subconsciously meditating for an ulterior purpose (getting laid). This is strange, but have any of you experienced it?

Yes it does help. Just being a more aware likable person helps

Authenticity is very attractive ?

@emind

Yes it can. You should be able to attract women without talking and without them having any idea who you are. That’s a purely energetic form of attraction. It won’t happen everytime, but if it’s not happening at all, your energy is off.

Yeah i got ego death on a street and was really comfortable outside and girls just stare at me without problem like some girls stare at you when you are with your girl...wondering whats that guy about....

@aurum Can I ask you something though. How do I keep myself from drawing my motivation to do consciousness work solely  from attracting women? Shouldnt meditation be done for the pursuit of truth, because its a good in itself? I feel like its a hidden motive that creeps up in my psyche. Has this happened to you? Like... you start meditation just to see results in your social interactions and stuff?

It's not that black or white.

In your case, the fact you even asked this question shows me that you're unlikely to fall into that particular trap.

For you, I would say consider all motivation to be good motivation. Even if it's not always "higher consciousness" or seems petty. Own all of your needs.
