You would not believe the kinds of girls I attracted: worldclass tennis stars, actresses, models, etc. I went on a date with a girl who did all of Tony Robbins' marketing material.

Yeah, of course. Getting over your own excuses, fears, and insecurity is like 70% of getting good with girls. That's the hardest part. Yeah, your mind will trick you with every excuse it can muster to not go to a club and not talk to a girl. You have to be very motivated to start going out regularly. Yes, just do it. But you need a strong vision of why you're doing it and what you hope to get out of it. Otherwise there's no way you'll be motivated enough to push through the hard times. Of course if you have serious life problems holding you back, it's nice to solve those. Although you can find ways to do pickup without spending any money. At the very least you can go out twice a week on Fri and Sat. You can work and still do pickup at night or weekends.

All of them are valuable. Tyler's are great of course. You gotta sort through it all and see which ones resonate with you. When I started pickup I had a giant torrent of like every possible pickup teaching in the last 20 years. I studied the shit out of it for 100s of hours. I studied it harder than I studied calculus in college, LOL. And that was before RSD's best free YT material was fully released. That was like 8 years ago now. God, I'm getting old. A lot of great new pickup material has been released since then. I started out studying Mystery Method, LOL. I studied like 20 different teachers and coaches. All of it was useful, but RSD I liked the most because it was so brutally realistic and down-to-earth. I don't like fluff in my dating teachings.

I started at 26-27 in that position. I had a lot to learn. Yes, at that age you want to get started right away. It will get harder and harder the older you get. 24-25 is the perfect age to get into pickup. Although Covid-19 obviously killed it for the next year.

RSD did just that. Go find their archive of old YT videos. It's all there.

Street and day game is my fave. It works even better since there's almost zero competition. One of the best things I got from my 2000 approaches is that these days if I see a cute girl at Wholefoods, I can fairly effortlessly just walk up to her and walk away with her number. Once you get good enough, building state will not be so important. Especially during the day where you should be more low-key and normal. Once you get good at pickup, social circle will be like shooting fish in a barrel. It's so easy. Normal dating becomes so easy. Pickup in loud clubs is like Navy Seals training. If you can handle that you can handle anything. Of course there's a lot more to it than one law. And state transference is not about clowning around, it's about being grounded, chill, confident, happy, etc. rather than terrified or anxious to be near a girl. Your fear will transfer to her so fast. State transference is such a powerful principle. It even applies when you're talking to your girlfriend over the phone. Whatever mood you're in will quickly rub off onto her. It's important to understand this principle and use it to lead girls into positive states. Pickup gets very advanced and nuanced as you get a few years into it. There are hundreds of nuances to learn, but you cannot learn them unless you do 1000s of approaches. I could talk about the nuances of pickup for 20 hours straight to a newbie. I could talk for several hours just about the nuances of setting up the first date to make sure it's most successful. I spent dozens of hours just honing my first date process. Every part of your game needs to be finely-honed like knife: your dress, your grooming, the approach, the opener, body language, sub-communication, state, small talk, kino escalation, flirting, leading, asking screening questions, logistics, bouncing, managing her friends, managing her excuses, getting phone numbers, texting, setting up dates, isolation, closing, dealing with last minute resistance, foreplay, sex, etc. You do need a solid city for pickup. I highly recommend moving to big city. It's worth it.

I would look for a torrent of their entire old-school video catalogue. Not their paid material but their free YT videos. That stuff is GOLD. I'm sure it exists online somewhere. Well, that hardcore approach machine mentality is basically what you need to gain massive skills and results. It works in Europe and elsewhere of course. It works anywhere there are lots of women. But they also taught many fundamental inner game principles such as law of state transference, building up state, and much more. Those principles are crucial. You are not going to get good with attracting women without MASSIVE approach experience. You need to be approaching 1000s of women. Everything else is secondary. You will learn the details as you force yourself to approach. I approached something like 2000 women within a year. And that was still just the start of the learning process. I never got super good at it. But I got A LOT better than when I started. It's not about sleeping with 100s of women. You'll be lucky to get a small handful from those 2000 approaches. It's about honing your skills and inner game through massive exposure and experience. It's about building yourself up as a man. Any future girlfriend you have will appreciate the strength pickup has built in you for her. Pickup is like meditation. You must do it seriously to get results. It's one of the most challenging things you'll do in your life. But also one of the most rewarding.

If you haven't seen the HBO mini-series House Of Saddam, you should go watch it now. It's one of the best things HBO has ever produced, and shows you how stage Red functions. Here's a preview: And here's the actual live tape of the event: That's how unification of Purple happens under Red.

So Trump can just tweet whatever the hell he wants without repercussions? What if he tweeted, "Fuck the gays. Fuck the blacks." Twitter should just sit by and allow that? Line has to be drawn somewhere.

Awesome example! Love it

Sam Jackson's character arc in Pulp Fiction is going from Red gangster to stage Blue man of God. It's a nicely realistic arc. Many gangsters do in fact get converted to the "good life" by discovering stage Blue religion and renouncing their stage Red devilish ways.

There is a HUGE difference. Stage Orange is materialistic and hedonistic, but it is not ruthlessly violent, power-hungry, or impulsive. Orange is rational. Red is not. Stage Orange is your typical bank CEO. Stage Red is a Tony Soprano or Joe Pesci from Casino. The bank CEO might manipulate within business to make some big money but he will not stab you in the throat in the process. Stage Red will. You have to really appreciate the ruthlessness and impulsiveness of Red: Orange people do not behave like that.

This is not a thread about music.

@Epikur Hey! Stop making me insecure about my job.

Oh yeah? I did not know that. 100 years from now they'll split again over whether a robot can be a pastor.

You are talking about David Hawkins' scale?

It is possible to take their core techniques and leave behind everything else. That's basically what I did. Their core techniques are SOLID and they will get you laid. As for their juvenile ways and ideology, that you can just ignore. It's a good skill to learn to be able to cherrypick teachings, taking only those parts which you want.

There is SO MUCH dating material available online. Dig around and try various sources until you find what resonates with you. People require different teachers and styles, depending on their goals. If you want the most direct and hard dating advice, RSD is the best. If you want to sleep with the most and hottest women possible, RSD is the way. But for some guys that may be too hardcore.

You are so young, you got TONS of dating time left. You can date for decades into the future, so chill the fuck out. You don't need to be actively searching for a girlfriend every week like the world is coming to an end. LOL, yeah, OF COURSE! Getting rejected after a first date hurts like hell. There's no magic pill to avoid getting your hopes dashed and your heart broken. You suffer it and move on. This hurt feeling usually lasts for a week and then you get over it. Nothing is wrong with you at all. This is exactly how it works. If you want to be free of the cycle, then stop dating. Dating and relationships are fundamentally a cycle of highs and lows. You're NEVER going to find freedom or peace through them. Or, decide to ride the cycles and stomach the highs and lows. In dating and relationships, every joy will basically end up compensated by some heartbreak or hurt. There is no free lunch in dating/relationships. If you want stable joy, that can only be found within yourself. It cannot be gotten via others, since others are never stable.

Religion is a big factor. Northern Europe is more secular and so its government is not corrupted as much by stage Blue religious fundamentalism as American government is. Religious conservatism is holding back America's development in the same way that Islamic fundamentalism is holding back the Middle East. When people are too ideological, they don't make empirical decisions.

It's simple: because stage Blue Christianity IS under attack. It is becoming more and more of an untenable ideology to hold in the 21st century. Stage Blue Christians are correct in their fear that stage Blue Christianity is slowly dying and will soon die. You see Jesus as a radical leftist, but that is not how a stage Blue Christian sees Jesus. There are many different versions of Christianity. Don't assume that just because someone values Jesus that their worldview is the same as yours. Not at all. People don't see Jesus as he was, but as he fits into their worldview and personal needs. This has always been the case. We have no objective accounts of how Jesus actually was. It's all interpretations by people who admired him.

Yup And also he does not consider lying wrong or bad. He considers anything that helps him survive as good, so lies are good. He does not value truth in itself at all, the way you or I might. Nope Blind selfishness Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.

All true. But nevertheless God created itself. It is creating itself every minute. When you go to take a crap, there's God creating crap. One minute there is no crap, the next minute there is. Since everything is ONE, creation IS existence IS absolute IS eternal.
