Emotional regulation is crucial for chess improvement. When you can't control your emotions, your judgment is clouded, leading to disastrous moves. If you want to improve, you must manage your feelings. This is due to the downward spiral principle. A bad move triggers an emotional response, causing you to make an even worse, impulsive move. This further worsens your position, leading to more bad moves and ultimately, a complete collapse. Beginners commonly fall into this downward spiral, and learning to overcome it is essential.

LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo 😙 😅 It does not hold back.

How Claude has answered this question if anyone's curious.

I used Claude to help understand the Dynamics here I think it it was interesting enough to show. I think this was the main feeling I have when reading this thread is people talking past each other.

Well done. If you follow Brian Johnson's routine he has a very solid morning exercise routine that's fairly high intensity. This would give you way more benefits than caffeine ever did in the morning and it will replace your caffeine routine.

If every man you came into contact with rejected you and gave you no dating opportunities you would go on youtube and seek advice on how to attract men. Can you see the false comparison being made?

You have the resources to do that?

@Princess Arabia @Emerald okay guys what advice would give to a men who is struggling to get a gf, maybe he's a virgin maybe lets say he's 22. What strategy should he use to be more attractive or find himself with a gf?

Why is it that women consistently find themselves in relationships with men who have bad character? Specifically when they're young and inexperienced or in some cases indefinitely.

naaa I get it, i just trying to make you look good in front of the truth seeking ladies. I misspoke I was trying to make it clear that you're not pushing for unhealthy teachings. My writing is not perfect. There has to be some way to bridge the gap so women can understand the teaching while going around to their agenda. lol

I know whatever you said on camera. On camera you're teaching people to have healthy relationships and to treat women correctly. I understand that you're a normal person that made 101 mistakes like everyone else, are you withholding critical information that you're actually a tyrant? lol No I don't think I know you. lol Am I allowed to think highly of you or is this against the Forum rules . Oh I understand it's because the only interest is in pure truth. My assumption is that you're overly focused on truth in relationships which is a super masculine thing and that tends to cause conflict. I did that a lot for a long time and then relaxed at some point with it all. Or your health problems cause emotional problems which cause conflict which cause issues like that. Or maybe i completely misinterpreted your very recent videos where you talked about these subjects.

Lmaoo I think the way to answer this question is experimenting and seeing if you feel good, you feel better and everything in life improves, and now you have a permanent erection representing the strength of an immortal body. 🦄

🤣 didn't Leo make a three-part series of Commandments men should follow whenever in the presence of woman? Honestly I know it's not a popular opinion but I do think because Leo has so much experience with this that he's mostly right. If you really want experience, dress up as a man and then go and approach a bunch of women and try to connect with these women yourself. A lot of women don't realize just how challenging that is. Especially when you have no idea how to socialize. Leo is very thoughtful in his relationships and a loving person overall, and he advocates for all this. It's just tricky teaching men that have no clue at all how to get results and then from there being in a healthy responsible relationship. Attraction is very primitive thing and when you talk about it out loud it sounds like misogyny and emotional manipulation in a unhealthy way. But really Leo is talking about healthy emotional manipulation ( if your girlfriend asks you if she looks fat, you always respond with no lol). He is always talking about the healthy representation of all of these topics, and how to have healthy relationships from beginning to end.

When a guy has Zero Charisma he looks autistic and socially unadded, is this someone you're attracted to? This is the general pattern of people who are uncalibrated because women are so sensitive to other people's emotions when you're un calibrated you're giving off the wrong emotions and now she is burdened with those emotions, making her feel uncomfortable. So Charisma is the opposite of that you're creating an environment of safety security and connection. When a guy is nervous a woman very easily can pick that up and it makes them feel uncomfortable. They might not know he's nervous but they can pick up on all the subtleties of tension that he's giving off. A uncalibrated person is creating a lot of tension with all the people around him.

Practice playing chess. Chess forces you to take your time before making a decision. By playing chess your practicing and reinforcing the neural pathways that pause and allow yourself to dwell on something before moving. So the board of a chess game is essentially a tool for various forms of habit training. There's many ways you could use the board for training patients is certainly one of them. Think of it like a gym, you go to gym to get big muscles while you could play chess to strengthen certain habits.

Nope your body has to do a lot of work to filter that shit out. And ashwagandha crosses the blood-brain barrier, it's not simply "food". lol Also taking B vitamins is a stimulant, that exhaust the system, so you need plenty of Immaculate sleep to compensate. Now let's scale that up to 100 random supplements. lmao

Shameless cash grab. I'm appalled they even released this homemade highschool film assignment\. But it is truly difficult to recreate the magic in the writing and production.

His philosophy is great, I wish he just wasn't telling everyone to take ashwagandha everyday. There was an episode recently where he injured his foot and it was affecting his sleep quality and you can clearly see that he was completely miserable and incapable of functioning normally without perfect sleep. I think his Immaculate sleep and exercise routine compensates for the heavy load of taking 100 supplements every morning.

You gotta be smart enough to avoid these men. It’s a skill. But you’re not gonna get it right all the time like you’re gonna be wrong before you figure it out. And there’s gonna be luck involved.

That’s actually a really great question and it happens a lot. The sex is enjoyable regardless if you think she’s genuinely beautiful or not, or if you were mostly lying. Because if for example, if she ask you if she looks fat in these clothes, the right answer is to lie because you love her, or your socially intelligent, and understand that a question purpose is to communicate an emotion and not autisticly communicating truth. Also You could love her and not think she’s beautiful. And so if you’re having sex with her, it’s because you’re in love with her. Normally when you’re in love with her and you enjoy having sex with her then you generally think she’s beautiful even if a different part of your brain think she she’s not. There’s many types of beauty. Or you don’t think she’s beautiful and your not in love with her and you’re just telling her she’s beautiful so you can have sex with her because men will enjoy sex regardless. Some men emotionally manipulate for good intentions and some do it for personal gain. And it’s always some mix of both and always some mix of selfishness and love. lol you could have sex with a man and not think he’s hot.

?? at no point did I say to pretend? If you’re having sex as a man and you say these things you don’t mean during sex then you don’t know how to have sex. Because in that scenario, you’re psychologically completely disconnected and out of the game and are functioning at a low state of sexual development. The right way to have sex is to be 100% invested into the moment to lose yourself in that moment in a very intense almost animalistic way (for a lack of a better word). And as a man from the male perspective, you should be looking at her like she’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen in a kind of mesmerized state. And this produces the most passionate highest quality sex. But this only works if she’s also completely hundred percent diving in to it and not resisting like most women do that are stuck in their head overthinking. Hold on maybe the word resisting can be misinterpreted. I mean, you know when women overthink and are not invested in the moment. When the man is fully invested and mesmerized into it, he intuitively behaves and acts in the most passionate way that women are stimulated by to the highest level. But I’m not talking about doing this on a first date… lol this is something that takes time and trust to build up.

@Conscious- this guy needs to get addicted to chess. Chess before chests, always. 👏

Oh, that’s true. I forgot about that one. 😂 I think the reason I was having a mindset of when you’re with someone short term versus long-term. You can’t tell them that you’re in love with them like the first time you have sex with them, but you could definitely tell them how beautiful they are and stimulate them in many other ways mentally. So in this way, I think the beauty aspect might be more primitive and primal than the love aspect?

The number one thing a woman wants to hear during sex is that she’s beautiful. While if you tell a man that he doesn’t care at all, what a man wants to be told is that he’s so good in bed. basically he wants to be complimented on his ability.
