By definition everyone cannot escape wage slavery. It is not possible at a collective level. But it is possible for you at an individual level. Not everyone can be a millionaire, but you can if you want it bad enough.

Lol. John knows nothing about me or my game. He talks shit about everyone as part of his marketing strategy. It's toxic. His approach to marketing himself is the same as his approach to gaming girls. Like I said before, a low integrity PUA is going to not just treat girls badly, he will treat everyone in a manipulative way, especially his clients and customers. He's gaming you with the same integrity he games girls. I was not known in the community at all because I was a nobody, there was nothing noteworthy about my game, and I never made any claims about my skills or results. This whole dick measuring contest about who has the best game is childish. All that matters is that you are improving your game. You can learn valuable lessons from all the instructors. You can also acquire many toxic ideas and habits if you're not careful. There is nothing more creepy than having your wingmen imprisoned for rape and yourself having rape accusations brought to court. Next to that I am a saint. Remember, I am not a pickup coach and I never was. So don't compare me to those type of guys. I was critical of the pickup community from the day I learned about pickup. Obviously much of it is low consciousness and toxic stuff sourced from deep trauma and lack of spiritual development. Be careful who you learn from. Their integrity, or lack thereof, will rub off on you. Have I done some flashy game? Sure. Have I turned girls off? Of course. That's all part of learning game. Flashy game is not solid game. I explained this in my How To Get Laid videos. But exploring flash is valuable nonetheless. Knowing how to do a bit of flash at the right time is very effective. People also have different styles of game. And much of what is considered flash is also just part of self-amusement and warming up. Sometimes I will say something silly or outrageous just to blow up a set and put myself into a playful mood. Keep in mind that all my game was done sober. Most of John's game was done drunk while he was gaming in Vegas. He says he quit drinking now -- which is great if true -- but that's after 10 years of drunk game. The majority of his supposed lay count is drunk game. I had to build my state from zero each night. So did Owen.

Dude, you have no clue how deep in the hole Owen started out. He was an autistic suicidal hard case. He has come far given his starting point. You take this shit for granted, as if mastering game is easy. Owen's forte is not getting girls, it's leading lazy guys like you. Owen spends most of his time running a business, not in the clubs.

Julian has a very high lay count from what I heard and amazing game. That's why Owen made him his main sidekick.

Cherrypicking good infield is easy. It says nothing about consistency of closing. If you cherrypicked my best sets, I would look like the best in the world. Sure, but that doesn't say much because 99% of guys can't even do an approach, let alone pull and close. All the infield is heavily cherrypicked. A flashy approach is not a close. An hour long set is not a close. And even a pull is not a close.

It's obvious he never had it. You'd have to be a fool to think that Owen gets laid massively.

A bit, not much. I never winged with him, just saw him out at the clubs a lot back in 2013 in Vegas. But I have friends who winged with him and the rumors aren't great. Not getting into that. To be clear, my game was never great. I'm not some pickup instructor and I am not structuring my life to maximize lays. Learning to pull and close consistently is way harder than you imagine. People and girls especially tend to assume it is easy. It's not easy at all unless you are a master.

I always identified more with American culture than Russian culture. Don't let your "home" culture gaslight you. Follow what you like. Culture is all just a construction anyway. You shouldn't take culture seriously. It's a joke invented by chimps.

I don't doubt JA's game skills. I've seen him pull hot girls. But there is more to life than game. Owen never claimed to have great game. It's pretty obvious that Owen's value was never in having the best game but in higher topics.

Very nice!

You should be working on raising your value every day for the rest of your life. Pretty soon you will be in the top 1% of guys and you will be so unique and valuable, no one will be able to compete with you. This is not for girls, this is for you. The girl just gets to feel the glow of your inherent awesomeness. This is not about girls! This is about self-actualization! Ground your confidence in self-actualization and self-realization. Put your nose to the grindstone. Other guys are irrelevant. Actualize yourself.

This is not a matter of trusting Owen. Carefully consider his perspective, running it through your own critical thinking, wisdom, and Tier 2 understanding. Sort the signal from the noise. There is always a lot of signal in Owen's talks.

Owen's teachings are over JA's head. Owen is not teaching you how to get laid, he's teaching something higher. Be careful dismissing Owen so easily. He is a serious intellect despite whatever shortcomings and biases. Owen is one of the few PUAs that thinks deeply about reality. 2 of JA's wings are in prison for 10 years for gang-raping drunk girls in Vegas. JA is so sketchy he was too sketchy to work for RSD in its heyday.

Just excuses your mind invents to not approach. If it's not guards, it will be boyfriends, if not boyfriends, then an endless list of other excuses. Stop believing your lying mind. Nothing remotely illegal in approaching.

@Irina Wolf Sounds like you need to work on developing relaxation skills and letting go skills. See my video: Body Awareness Sedona Method could help you. Body relaxation practices could help you. Meditation could help you. Psychedelics could help you.

Psychedelics

This is absurd. You can easily make DMT and it doesn't matter where it came from.

Tough titty.

Of course. Whereness is imaginary. You cannot apply the notion of whereness to consciousness because consciousness imagines whereness. For the same reason you cannot apply the notion of thingness to consciousness.

Content/context is just another silly duality.

Looking for some "ideal teacher" is the trap. Humans will always be full of shit, so go straight to the Source.

You can work to get a well-paying job, move out from your parents, and then pursue art afterwards by saving up money and enrolling in a school. Your LP requires long-term strategy. You won't necessarily be able to do it right off the bat. I had to work in online marketing for 3-4 years (which I hated) to make the money to fund my LP. Stop blindly obeying your parents. They have no idea what is best for you. You don't have to do anything they say. Just get a job and move out and stop letting them dictate your life. If you care about your LP you will not let anyone dictate you.

Why would you work every day to stay alive if you were not biased against death?

OMG! *facepalm*
