@Joshe Which AI model did you use for that screenshot? It's well formatted

Really good context. He was an online author and she found his work funny which lead to them communicating and then eventually getting married. Demonstrating some kind of competence or value online is one of the most reliable ways to cast a wide net and get long term ROI in dating so makes sense. People have touched on the emotional safety/bond aspect which is true as well but also another key interesting thing is with the way biotech is looking right now this guy might very well be walking in 10 years and they'll be a normal couple with a crazy badass story. Perhaps the universe knows what its doing

@Lyubov Agreed, this mirrors the red pill stages of grief : anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Focusing on the bad parts of how unactractive you are is basically anger/depression stage and what makes up black pill thinking. @Princess Arabia Yes acceptance of pain is one of the biggest ways to relieve it. You seem to imply that it's useless to build anything outside of that though. @Tenebroso You seem to be stuck in the black pill stage of anger, empower yourself brother. @Hojo For sure looking to escape the pain of life through a woman will never work long term. Only spirituality and purpose truly help in my experience and women are your companions on the way.

MBTI TypeP(Type) INTP35% INTJ30% ENTP20% ENTJ15% You're on the right track in using AI to expand on the model. It has a lot of potential for self-exploration especially in analyzing our thousands of posts here. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna use it to flesh out my life purpose more.

Yeah it makes sense for it to be based in powerlessness. I like this meditation here that focuses on love and kindness towards yourself and others. I found it healing for me

It’s a great time to be a philosopher. Read books, talk with AI and make videos about it. Hard to monetize in the short term but plenty of people figure it out in different ways.

That makes sense thank you for sharing. I have a lot of hope in AI and AI agents in helping solve things like this through logging and shifting through data that humans end up giving up on. Harsh example is apparently there are hundreds of thousands of rape kits that go unchecked due to lack of manpower.

@Lyubov Do you have a YouTube channel or where do you post your videos? Curious to see

I mean sure you can find ways to not think about it and in times when I was mostly working on myself and my purpose I didn’t think about it too much(although fapped a lot) but perhaps an even deeper question is why would you go through that? Perhaps the deeper growth if you’re a 32 year old virgin is learning how to get laid? @Someone here You can have much deeper and satisfying sex if you want to then come and done lol

I would do exactly the exact opposite of meditation all day and try to lose the ego. I would triple down on the passion/business, make a lot of money and look into the new advances in medicine/biotech. It's the best decade in human history to have chronic illness. Pretty good chance that in 10 years you're cured in good shape and with your money in order right in time to enjoy the "devil's fools gold". Also this part isn't directed to you but this whole forum and the men in it, I hope you realize that "being above" becoming a high status and attractive man is the fool's gold. What's harder in life, overcoming all your mental blocks finding focus and offering value to thousands if not millions in the marketplace to become rich or sitting in your room telling yourself that it doesn't matter and you're God you don't need to try? The reason attractive women like fit guys with their shit together is it screens out the weak men that can't/won't do it. And this is in good times, wait til the world goes to chaos and then the virtue of being a strong man will become even more needed.

Well you're gonna wanna start with financial independence as that's the umbrella condition for the freedom that's gonna allow you to achieve all the rest. How's your money situation?

I would spend at least 10-100 hours researching it. I would avoid crypto if you're a low risk type of guy but I'd say the broader stock market is risky as well. At least put 10% in Bitcoin even if you're gonna go full S&P500/Index funds, it has too much potential upside in the near future to be avoided.

I feel like number 3 is most powerful here. Seeking God is gonna give you a hard limit because well we come from God so most of the point of life is to experience duality and competition and the "basic desires."

@Emerald That's a good point. A lot of dating issues come from a lack of dating strategy vs being too low value. Meaning that if you socialize weekly and are open to connection it'll be a lot easier to meet a compatible partner vs being on internet forums and inevitably getting isolated and eventually jaded from the process.

I'm inclined to meditate because it helps with emotional regulation which helps in my survival in day to day basis and connect me more to my spiritual self which is my "infinite survival" so I don't really even understand the foundation of your question. Seems pretty self explanatory to me. Makes me connect with everything is gonna be okay.

Go to meet events to meet men that are more aligned with your goals like for me I really like business, crypto and philosophical meetups for more intellectual discussions as the average men just talk about culture and random nonsense in my books as an INTP. Then you can also create your own communities and social circle over time and curate your own crowd.

I think unless something major happens(like ASI/AGI coming out and overtaking humanity in the next 2 years) I think it's pretty guaranteed that we are indeed there. China is pretty committed to invading Taiwan and the US can't really let that happen otherwise China will overtake them in global dominance and slowly but surely make them irrelvant. Phenomenal podcast on it.

Having a overly negative to Mamdani is pretty much a litmus test for being a corrupt piece of shit

@integral You can't do TA on this, the cycle has changed. Institutional buyers have changed the game, it's not mostly retail now.

Sure why not, I’m working a blue collar labor job right now and it’s helping ground me from my idealistic and unrealistic ideas that I’m not responsible enough to actualize yet. Also if you’re really stage yellow you can navigate those environments without getting super triggered like stage green people will.

@PurpleTree You would think the first one. America has to take pretty drastic actions to retain its current global dominance otherwise in the next 5 years it’ll be overtaken by China. You would think they’ll use all kinds of financial manipulation and conflict building to stop that from happening.

Like the Gandhi quote where we have enough on the planet for what we all need but not enough for what we all want. Gotta find realistic win-win solutions to fix that and not fall into utopian thinking. I think AI/Metaverse can be part of the solution. Soon enough we’ll have an alternate universe that’s even more realistic than the real world where you’ll be able to indulge all your base needs of power, sex, control, etc without affecting the rest of us.

That’s good news, let’s get a new socialist wave coming to America. Corrupt capitalists pretending they’re the only reasonable ones around are getting really boring.

@Someone here Where did you get all those ideas? Plenty of porn actors love their jobs and plenty of them get into it not in circumstances of poverty. I know a girl who just graduated from the best school in Canada and then became a stripper. Just likes the freedom of expression and lifestyle and of course money from it. I don’t think you can back up most of these points with any statistics. Also plenty of porn is not studio porn but couples filming themselves fucking or people masturbating so that skirts around the ethicalness issue.

I guess you’re arguing for a more hedonistic and selfish lifestyle for short term gratification? Outside of wanting wellbeing for others those setups don’t usually stand the test of time although some do.
