Treating women like disposable objects and basing your life around that. It's classic foolishness.

Seems like the NewsWeek expose destroyed him: https://www.newsweek.com/pick-artist-sold-sex-audios-targeted-teen-girls-using-major-tech-firms-1648461

That actually demonstrates skillful means.

Arnold did not con his way into success. The dude is a workhorse. I have read various bios of him.

Big con-man vibes from him. He is gaming guys more than he is gaming girls. The grift is to sell guys on the player lifestyle -- which is faked.

Yeah, DMT is on another level. The more you trip the easier it becomes to handle deep trips. Of course it will be shocking a first. Yes, of course. Most of my deep trips these days are super blissful and just pure love. It took a lot of work to reach that point. You get use to the scariness. That's the whole trick. There's not a good answer other than doing lots of spiritual work. Just lower your dose. There will always be a dose at which you can freak yourself out. So take less. It's not going to be as sharp as vaped DMT, more smooth and drawn out. Just the rapid onset of vaped DMT can be terrifying if you take a big dose. LOWER YOUR DOSE and continue tripping.

Look, the reality is that there is a sexual marketplace. Every actor in this marketplace is trying to maximize value. This being the case, of course the highest value actors will tend to hook up with other high value actors. If you got no game and low social value, then yeah, your looks matter more because you got little else of value to offer. For looks not to matter so much you gotta develop either game or social value. Ideally both. The real question here is: How much value are you bringing to the negotiating table as a man? This value can take many different forms, from status to friends to leadership skills to spiritual connection to looks. When people hook up through dating apps they are basically sorting themselves by looks.

You really can't if you find the girl amazing. Or, you could if you are seeing a bunch of other girls at once. But this isn't necessarily a good thing. It's natural to fall for a girl you really like. Of course you will get somewhat needy. That's okay as long as she reciprocates. The key is to make her also fall for you. Sometimes you're just not going to know why a girl did what she did. There could be many hidden factors at play which you will never know. It sounds like the thing you could have done better was to indicate your romantic intentions towards her earlier on and escalated in a smoother way. This seems to have taken her by surprise. You want to practice man-woman communication so that it's obvious to her that if she ends up alone with you, sex will naturally happen. There shouldn't be doubts in her mind about your romantic intentions towards her. And then you gotta learn smooth physical escalation. Going straight to a make out is not the way. You have to gradually seduce her with physical touch. But anyways, it is rather odd that she wanted to leave. Most girls would not do that at such a late stage. I mean, you could just ask her why she got cold-feet.

THIS!

Be careful, there is a dark side to pickup which is easy to get sucked into. You have to be very careful not to get lost in pickup and the toxicity and ego that can come with it. The more successful you become the more ego develops around it.

That is the work. I would say most of them are shallow and lost people. It's a pity. So much wasted potential. Many of them drink. Some don't. Drugs I haven't seen used by PUAs so much.

I would rather just say what I wanna say.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary wealth depends on his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair Here's why billionaires should be taxed more: Because a society with huge wealth inequality becomes fundamentally undemocratic, unhealthy, and eats itself alive Billionaires should be taxed more for the same reason cancer cells should be checked by the immune system. A billionaire saying to tax him less is like a cancer cell saying, "Control my reproduction less, I will do great things."

Definitely a scam.

Ummm... No.

Forecasting the future is a fool's game. Stop caring what others are up to and do what you know you gotta do to build a great life. While others are whining and raving, you are patiently working on your LP and yourself. I broke out of wage slavery in 2008-2009, in the middle of the worst economic crises of our lifetime. People were whining and raving, I was working hard and making a bunch of money. There is enormous opportunity to be seized in any era or world situation. You are not a statistic. Don't treat yourself as one.

I doubt it. His father was an abusive alcoholic I believe and Owen was a weed dealer, so he made a strict policy never to take drugs himself because he saw how it destroyed people. This actually holds him back today with his anti-psychedelic stance. He would grow a lot from taking them, but refuses to.

Actually you can see hot girls with average looking guys fairly commonly. Which shows you that looks aren't as important as you think. When you see short guys, fat guys, bald guys, skinny guys, asian guys, black guys, etc pulling a lot, you will realize it's not the looks so much. Get some wings who aren't so great looking but pull consistently. This will blow your limiting beliefs apart.

The bottom line is, you need to gain enough mastery over your emotional state such that you feel good and solid most nights out. Gaming from a depressed state is not really gonna work. Fix your depression. Controlling your state is like the biggest aspect of inner game. Everything else hinges on it. You need to become a generally happy, go-lucky guy who doesn't easily get ungrounded. Work on enjoying and loving going out and socializing with new people. This is the gold.

In this case you're not really gaming, you're venting. I mean, go ahead and try it, but don't expect to get laid from it. Broken man game sorta assumes you got some baseline of game already built up that you can lean on.

Be careful. High likelihood you will come off creepy saying that unless it's really authentic and spontaneous. The point is that you want to develop the ability to improvise lines like that on-the-fly. Not pre-meditated. The frame is this: I feel like shit, but I'm still gonna blatantly hit on you. If you do it from that frame it will be funny. This one is not for newbies. You still need to have a core confidence to pull that off. Remember, 90% of your game should be friendly-chill, not weird gamey lines. But it's a great skill to learn to be funny even when you feel like shit. "Don't come too close to me. God hates me."

"You will be my shoulder to cry on tonight. But also I might make out with you. Just sayin..." "I'm gonna use your panties to wipe the tears from my eyes." Get creative with it. Sky's the limit. Amuse yourself and blow sets up. It's better than sitting at home crying. You shouldn't try to fake being broken though. This is not a technique you use when you're feeling normal.

There is no mechanism! It's absolutely DIRECT. Impossibly direct. If you can verbalize it, it isn't direct.

You fully own it. Like this: "Hi, I'm Leo. I want to fucking kill myself. Oh, you're kinda cute... Maybe I won't kill myself for a few hours longer . Where you from? No! I'm a broken man. You shouldn't even be talking to me. I will corrupt you. You will know what hell feels like. So, anyway... how do you know your friend there? I have no friends. I destroyed them all. That bitch cheated on me! But maybe you could replace her. Are you a good cook?" You're still being funny, but you lace it with genuine bitterness. Basically you just run your game despite feeling like shit and you are honest about your emotional turmoil. Like: "I don't even want to talk to your right now. But here I am."

Lol It just means you go out and approach even if you feel like shit emotionally. Girl cheated on you and destroyed your heart? Shut up and go out and approach! Feeling suicidal? Shut up and go out and approach!
