Actually the moral high ground is important in this case because now most of the civilized world and history itself will be against Russia for its barbarism.
Even if Putin wins Ukraine he will lose the long-term game of raising Russia's prestige and influence in the world -- which a great nation must have to be great. You cannot bully your way into greatness and love.
Putin's turning his back on the West is going to hold Russia back.

What you do in this situation is you talk to more girls.
A big part of dating/pickup is screening out girls who are not a good match for you. Just because she is hot doesn't mean it's a good match.
If a girl leaves you because you refuse her drink, that is not a girl you should be interested in sleeping with.
The lesson here for you is not about how to get such girls go stay. The lesson is to screen them out yourself.
YOU should be screening her, instead she screened you. This is your mistake. Learn to SCREEN girls.

Frame here would be: age doesn't even matter. Older girls want dick as much as if not more than younger ones.
A girl in her 40s still wants a man who will make her feel like a girl again. It's not about your age, it's about how girly you make her feel.

This is SOLID.
For more details see my video: How To Have Amazing Sex

Dude, if a girl is interested in fucking you she'd also be interested in dating you. It's a matter of logistics in many cases. Sometimes the girl is just in town for the weekend so dating is not viable.
If you can get models to sleep with you, you can certainly get them to date you. Not all of them of course. But it also works in reverse! Plenty of girls will date you who will not do a one night stand with you. If fact, most of your lays will come from dates, not ONSs.
A lot of girls have rules they set for themselves about not doing ONSs. So in a sense ONSs are harder than dating.
It's hard to pull consistently every week, it's much easier to set up 3 dates a week.

In this case make yourself into an amazing and exceptional guy who brings a lot of value to the table.
Have a life purpose, have a good career, have your finances in order, be well educated, be spiritual, know how to give her amazing sex, know how to build deep intimacy, be in good shape, have a nice wardrobe, have a cool social circle of friends, have a cool house/condo, have some cool hobbies like travel or photography, be well-groomed.
That above is basically every girl's dream bf/husband.
But really, if you just learn to give her deep emotional sex that will be enough for her to think you're amazing and get addicted to you. Deep emotional sex is the way into her heart. The rest is window-dressing.

The frame is:
My body is my temple, why would I pollute it with poison?
My other frame is:
Alcohol is for children. Adults do DMT.
- - - - -
When I see someone drinking I look at them like at an ignorant child.

Of course girls will have sex with them if given the opportunity.
When you give a girl no other way to decide but based on looks, of course she will pick the best looking guy she can find.
But girls are not walking around hunting down the best looking guys to sleep with. That's not how girls get attracted in real life.

Mystical experiences of God's Love will certainly help with that.
Fundamentally you're angry because you didn't get the love you feel you deserved. Denial of love lead to hurt which lead to anger.

Drinks are fine, but you need to have drinks in a location where you can bounce around to multiple venues. My fave 1st date location is an outdoor shopping mall area, with cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, ice cream, park with trees and benches, scenery, etc.
Then you bounce around between those. Try to do more walking than sitting in a booth. Walking lets you escalate easier.
As far as conversation goes, you're just being too logical and boring. The core of game is learning emotional, nonlogical ways of talking to girls.
Also, if you are not sexually attracted to her you shouldn't be dating her. Follow your dick on this. Stop setting up dates with girls you wouldn't sleep with. This is a waste of your and her time.
Law Of State Transference: whatever you feel she will feel. If you don't feel excited neither will she. You need to be sexually excited by her. Then ride this excitement to bed.

Don't speak to her or text with her for a few weeks. Let her come to you. Let her initiate otherwise you come off needy/desperate.
You can also ask her to define what needing space means in her mind.
Also, if you're making out with girls you should be closing. Otherwise hold off the makeout. It can be awkward to make out and then not close, leaving an odd situation for later.
Make a distinction between a kiss vs a heavy makeout. Keep the heavy makeouts for when you feel the logistics are suitable to close. If not, deny her the makeout and tease her with short kisses. This is more classy, otherwise she may feel slutty.

What is she gonna ask?
"Are you a virgin?"
or, "How many girls have you slept with?"
Girls don't ask such questions. And if a girl ever asks you how many girls you've slept with, you say something like, "669".
YOU are the man, YOU control the frame.

Frame control is like 50% of verbal game.

Just gotta find a girl who is not so insecure and who understands that porn is to be expected for guys.
Also set the frame early that you watch porn and that this is just business as usual for you. It shouldn't come as a surprise to her.
You shouldn't be brutally explicit with women. You gotta learn how to set certain frames though in implicit ways, so she isn't surprised.
Then again, you should tell her that you jerk off to her too sometimes. This is pretty natural for me. Usually this makes them feel flattered.
One way to set the frame here is to ask her early on what kind of porn she likes, and then naturally she will ask you what kind you like. From this convo it should be implicitly clear to her that you watch porn.

That's the devil of pickup.
There is a tradeoff between growing with relationships vs growing your game.
If you seriously want to build your game you have to say no to relationships for at least a few years. But then again, if you find an awesome girl, it may be worth it to do a relationship.
I am not telling you what to do. The choice is yours. But the combo of a really well-matched and pretty girl is rare, so don't throw that away when you stumble upon it.

Of course normal dating will yield more relationships. But also normal dating is very low volume. You get a date once in a blue moon.
If you want to do normie dating, go ahead. But you will be in such scarcity, so needy, and the quality of girls you get will be meh, and when your girl breaks up with you, you will want to kill yourself because you know you will not get a new one for years.
It also depends on how social you are. If you're highly social without doing pickup, then you will naturally have decent dating opportunities. But most guys are not that social so they are screwed.
You have to decide how much abundance you want in your life. Most guys sleep with less than 10 girls in their entire life and the quality is meh. You also have to decide how high of quality of girl you want. If your standards are very low then you can be much more lazy about this whole thing.
It's also a question of how good do you want to be with girls? How much do you want to grow yourself as a man? Normal dating doesn't really grow you because it's too infrequent and random.
Your neediness for a girl's love will turn off most girls and make them run away from you towards a guy who doesn't give a shit. So even those few girls you manage to date once in a blue moon, they will likely lose attraction for you and break your heart because you're going to be the biggest classic "nice guy".

Sure, of course feeling unloved is a way deeper issue than sex. And sex alone may not even solve it.
Yes, there are some guys who have been abused by parents or grew up not receiving sufficient love. These guys need a lot of inner work beyond getting laid.
But also, I think most guys just need to learn how to get laid and get a loving girlfriend. This will auto-correct many problems. If problems still remain after that then they can do some deeper inner work on that. But the deeper inner work is not gonna help a guy who hasn't gotten laid in years. There is an order of operations here, and I don't like it when I hear people telling guys who haven't gotten laid in years to "stop thinking about sex and focus on finding love". That's BS. The sex must be handled first. Guys require sex. This is like food. Get yourself fed, then see what problems remain. Sex is the gateway to love in this case. Once you start getting laid you will feel like a brand new man.

Ahahahahahaha....
If you were clever you could have used this moment to deflect and also entrench your frame with a response like: "I was thinking about your mom." And then move on to another conversation topic. You don't have to engage girls in conversation topics which don't lead anywhere good. If she asks you who you fantasize about when you jerk off, you don't have to tell her. Which is not to say you lie to her. You just say, "Don't fill your mind with such things." and then change topics. Don't let girls lead conversations in lose-lose directions.
You should already know if your girl is too insecure to handle such a conversation.
For example, if my girl asks me to take her to the strip club and I sense that she's not secure enough to handle it, I will say NO. Because nothing good will come from that. A girl only gets to go to a strip club with me if she demonstrates that she can handle it. Many girls can't. Some girls can't even handle going to a nightclub with me. I once took an old ex gf to a Vegas nightclub and she ran out of there after 15 minutes crying. Because she was too insecure to handle the competition. I learned my lesson: I should have known she was too insecure to handle it and just refused to take her. BTW, it was her idea to go to the nightclub. I should have said NO. Because I knew she had insecurity issues.
A Vegas nightclub will make a lot of average girls feel insecure and unworthy.
Your girl is just too entitled and insecure.
You tell her you were jerking off to some pornstar as if you don't even think twice about it.
Your girl just sounds inexperienced with guys. She doesn't understand how guys work. Of course you jerk off to other girls. Of course. You and 4 billion other guys.
If she protests about this, you tell her that you would rather be inside her, but if she's unavailable you are willing to settle for porn. You're doing her a favor here by not bothering her with your horniness. She also needs to understand that you have a high sex drive and you're going to use it, either on her or elsewhere.
But again, this is about proper framing. She should sense from the moment she meets you that you're a sexual tyrannosaur. There should be no doubt in her mind that you have a high sex drive and that you own it and use it. Then it's her job to satisfy you if she wants to keep you. Again, this is not said explicitly, this is sub-communicated by setting the player frame vs the boyfriend frame. Of course you can still be her boyfriend and be committed to her, but she has to know that she is taming a player here, not some dickless chump, and that you are doing her a huge favor by going exclusive with her and that she should respect that rather than getting all spoiled and whiny with you about something as trivial as porn.
Setting frames in critical for your relationships to go well. Your girl must have proper expectations about you. Once these frames are set early on, they are very difficult to reset. So learn to set them correctly right off the bat.

Give it some time and you feel forget about.
Awakening strips life of all meaning. Because all meaning is a fabrication and a function of survival.
Yes, life feels empty without meaning because it is empty.

The answer to that question is the heart of game. The answer cannot be told to you, you must learn it by doing it.
There isn't any algorithmic way to follow up. You must be so in the zone that you say whatever comes to your mind and amuses you, and whatever matches your sexual intent towards the girl you are speaking to. In other words, your follow-up cannot be some canned lines, it must be genuine and improvisational.
Usually the best follow-up is not interview style questions but just fun shit-talking.
Here's an example:
A girl is walking out of the restroom at the club. I tap her on the shoulder, smile, and say, "I love you." She gives me a face like she is turned off. I calibrate to that and say, "Hey, come here a second. Did you just take a giant shit in there? That turns me on. You should go back in there and take a video of yourself taking a giant shit and send it to me." I say this in way where it's obvious I'm teasing her. Her face changes, now she's interested in talking to me. So I pull her in physically and talk with her about other random stupid shit. This is not a routine I run. This is a spontaneous response generated on-the-fly to a particular situation.
Basically, your conversations have to be fun and random. Nothing serious. Nothing logical. Mostly it's flirting and shit-talk.
Your follow up has to be congruent with how you feel in the moment and your intent towards her. For example, if I see a girl I really like, I might just walk up to her, take her by the hand, and say, "OMG, you are fucking adorable. Come here..." and give her a genuine hug. Then stare in her eyes and hold her by the waist.  This is not done as some "routine" or planned line. It's a fully authentic expression of my attraction towards her, specifically her, in that moment. It's calibrated to her and to my own internal state. I am also reading her face and body to gauge how open she is to me. If she recoils, I will back off. If she is open then I will escalate further. The verbals comes spontaneously, not pre-meditated.
Your follow ups have to be improvisational. This is the hardest and most important part of game to learn. You learn it by lots of trail and error.
A good way to practice this is to open with a very simple opener and then force yourself not to ask her any questions and instead make statements about her. Talk to her without needing her to give you material. Also, you need to come from a fun, positive, emotional state, not a logical state. So put yourself into the proper state first before talking.
When you are in the right state, verbals become effortless and fun. When you are in the wrong state, your verbals are logical and awful.

Yes, exactly.
Yes, of course. That's what a psychedelic trip is. You think of demons and then they start to materialize on your carpet.
In one of my early mushroom trips I started to think that my room resembles an ancient Indian palace a bit, and pretty soon my room turned into an ancient Indian palace.
But normally the human mind is not powerful enough to override outer seeing, because if it was, you'd call that going insane. People who can do that are locked up in mental hospitals and given anti-psychotic drugs. Or they are mystics living in caves.
See, if you started to think that your mom was a rubber yellow duck so deeply that she turned into one, you'd think you'd gone batshit crazy. But actually, you're just employing the power of God's mind to create its own reality. Nothing crazy about it.

The ego IS mental images and thoughts.
The source of all thoughts and mental images is Infinity or God.
Yes, that's what the ego is for, to control things.
Whatever practices help to dissolve ego. Even something like a cold shower can help with that. But ultimately awakening is necessary.

1) Approaching and getting blown out
2) Shit talking with wings
3) Dancing & listening to good music
4) DMT
5) Going out consistently, building up momentum
6) Getting present and enjoying the environment, getting very calm in my body
7) Not thinking. Stop planning your approaches, stop thinking about "What am I going to say?"
8) Using funny, obnoxious, and absurd lines like: "Hi, I'm a douche bag. You should meet me." And in general just inventing new funny things to say to girls.

Pretty close.
Well, you are imagining that right now.
The way to resolve this matter is you become absolutely conscious and you see what remains. This issue cannot be answered from the finite human consciousness that most people are stuck in.
You can become absolutely conscious that NOW is the only thing which is True.
NOW is an absolute. Past and future are imaginary and relative.

Don't waste time trying to invent clever openers. The opener is irrelevant.
"Hey! Stop. I wanted to meet you real quick. What's your name?" is basically your universal opener.
The words of your opener is not what gets you the girl.
Observational openers tend to work best. For example: "Hey, girl in the black dress. I wanted to meet you real quick."
