Overly Stage Orange, overly materialistic, too much of that sleazy marketing mindset, lack of ethics, never teaches importance of ethics, misogynistic, exploitative of women, horrible politics supporting guys like Trump, Musk, Tate, anti-vaxx, misunderstanding of psychedelics, etc, etc.

That's not a good question because the bottleneck for game is having enough girls available to approach.
The point of Vegas is that Vegas allows you to do endless approaches like you could not do in any other place. Vegas has an insane volume of stunning girls like nowhere else. Vegas is pure abudance. Most cities are pretty scarce with too few girls with approaching and too few opportunities.

Drive around the residential suburbs of Vegas. Don't just stay on The Strip. The Strip is for tourists, locals hardly go there. You want to see the real, residential parts of Vegas like Summerlin.
Also you need to visit other US cities to compare. Your decision is really informed by having a half dozen cities to compare from direct experience.
Also, at your age, you don't need to know which city to settle down in. You can live in many cities before making that decision. Live in Vegas for a year and then you can move elsewhere.
A 19yo is not settling down anywhere. Explore the globe as much as you can.

Killing yourself because capitalism is unfair?
We live in objectively the most fair and easiest society of the last 10,000 years.
You are so lucky to be born into such an easy life.
Stop blaming the system and start working the system to create and reap value.
You can start a business and make money. You can be creative and make money. Nothing is really stopping you but lack of ambition.

Even if you look like Owen, if you socialize constantly, as he does, you will get plently laid.
The magic key is really just massive socialization, nothing fancy. You don't even need skills if you socialize all the time.

Vegas is not a good place for dating, it is the best place for hardcore practice. Every weekend is a free bootcamp in pure hardcore game. You won't get that kind of XP boost anywhere else.
In Vegas you can game round the clock, from dusk till dawn, 7 nights a week, spring through fall. But winter sucks here. Don't game here in the winter.

1) He was very immature, vain, and narcissistic to begin with.
2) He has bipolar disorder. So he had mental illness to begin with.
Combining that with psychedelics is obviously dangerous. He ignored all the warnings I gave him and he was on DMT daily.

@Leo Gura by being a corrupt swindler and taking advantage of everyone to use them for his personal gain, how else? lol

The most disgusting part of this story is finding out Diddy has a billion dollars. Lol. For what??

Seems rather extreme. It doesn't make sense unless you are insanely passionate about pickup.
Hot girls can be found in most big cities.
Vegas is quite expensive for an outsider. Clubs here cost $120/night, not even counting alcohol.
If you got a big budget and a bunch of time on your hands, you could do it. But I wouldn't recommend this to just a regular guy trying to learn dating.
If you want hardcore pickup for a few months, yeah, Vegas is king for that. But make sure you come here between April to September.
Do not come to Vegas Nov-March. It is slow. Vegas is very seasonal. The crazy game is May-August. You can plan a May-August immersion.

The notion that one needs science to be an effective gym-rat is a joke.
Squat
Benchpress
Shoulder press
Deadlift
Rows
Curls
There's all the science you need to get swole.
And of course steroids.

Do you ever get rejected for being too attractive? I swear to God, girls think they can't keep you, and so they reject you. Obviously you just met her on the street and had a conversation, obviously you're a womanizer type that do this type of stuff with many women. ‎That's why good game isn't just about being as attractive as possible, truth is most girls, including the hottest ones, are insecure as hell. Therefore you should calibrate your game to your target effectively, without being way over the board charismatic, natural and seductive.

@Schizophoniait is hard to recognize autism, if you have autism yourself........ hence the condition

This is not a correct attitude.
There is much to learn from even shady people. Especially when it comes to skills like dating, marketing, sales, business, investing, leadership, communication, self-defense, etc.
I easily learn from everyone. I learned a lot from Owen and I clearly see all his flaws. No problem.
Of course I am able to do that because of my deep epistemic foundations and commitment to truth. Without that, yeah, people get lost. But if you study my work seriously it will innoculate you against Owen-style corruption.
I can still learn new things from Owen in the Stage Orange domain he specializes in, because he has so much experience in it, more than me.
Learn from everyone. Trust no one.

You ARE Infinity. Right behind your eyes, and Everywhere.
There is no sadness at all. If you understood Infinity you would have zero negative feelings.
I could shoot myself in the head and it will be all Good. Because I am so conscious of Infinity.
Evil does not exist. Only Good. Your understanding is just lacking. Your understanding is not clear. Keep clarifying it until nothing negative remains.

If you met Hitler for a coffee he would be a well-mannered likeable guy.

@Annoynymous Very good share! Everyone needs to see this documentary. Those sneaky fucks.
The cleverness of devilry always amazes me. It's like God is an infinitely sneaky fox. Always finding new ways to outfox himself.
The best kind of devilry cloaks itself in the name of God and goodness. It's so audaciously selfish that it manages to go full-circle and fly under the radar. Until it gets exposed by the light of awareness.
The reason stage Blue can be so dangerous is because it has no doubt whatsoever that whatever its doing is God's will and for the good of all. But in reality it's a Trojan horse for the ego's survival agenda.
"Jesus + Nothing" of course means that if you practice any spirituality other than theirs, you'll be made nothing.

None of this is biology. This is just some limiting bullshit narrative your mind concocted because you are insecure.
I know a 5'4" black dude who's my wing in Vegas who gets threesomes and white girls sucking his dick in the bathroom within 20 minutes of meeting him.
My other wing is Mexican and he gets laid no problem.

Look, every finite avatar of God is selfish as fuck. It's just a matter of degree.

Around 8 months ago I broke up with my first serious girlfriend.
After 1,5-2 years of a mixed back of beauty, connection, growth, suffering and dissatisfaction, it became clear that we were not compatible. Different values, life paths, desires, lifestyles. Bridging the gap through settling became increasingly painful. And so things ended.
Ever since the relationship ended, it has been a path of discovery of what I truly want.
Starting off with the vision to surround myself with five girls to experience abundance and gain confidence/healing in sexuality.. turned out to be exhausting.
Dropping that idea and kind of letting happen what happen…
To now having made the decision to open myself up to a deeper connection with a partner.
Throughout this journey, one thing has stayed the same. I’ve been acting from a way higher standard of integrity then before. Integrity with my inner wisdom. Integrity with my standards. Integrity with honesty and truth. Integrity with what I know is right.
For example:
One girl who I had a short casual relationship with started to indicate she was looking for something monogamous. At that point I did not want to be monogamous with her. There was honest and open communication and I encouraged her to let our relationship go.
A few dates in with a smoking hot girl, I started to see that if we were to enter any further, it would be the same dynamic as with my ex. It was basically the same situation as with my ex. Attraction, connection, but different values, mindset, life path. I decided not to text her again and delete her contact.
One girl I saw met up with for two times, but found out a guy I semi knew had been dating her for a while. Long story short, I had the opportunity to go for it, but decided after communicating with him openly to not pursue it and give their situation a chance.
There are a few more examples, but these illustrate the point well.
All good, great, nice, good stuff. This was all good for a while, taking it slow and all that.
However, now I’ve gotten to the point where I’m getting seriously thirsty. My body and soul are craving for connection. It’s becoming increasingly painful not to act on those desires.
On top of this, I’ve been investing a lot of time and energy in my life purpose. Therefore it has been challenging to even create the space to pursue my desires.
What triggered this post, is the fact that yesterday I went to an ecstatic dance. Great place to meet some stage green/yellow girls btw. Anyhow, there was this ridiculously beautiful girl who I ended up dancing and connecting with. Looking into her eyes was breathtaking… the presence, the radiance, the confidence. After we connected, I literally had to go lay down for 10 minutes to let my body process the energy. Now, 24 hours later, I can still feel her presence.
So yeah.. here I am, young man thirsty for connection.
Part of me believes that if I keep acting with integrity it will ‘pay off’.
Then again, the cravings are getting stronger and they are starting to manifest also in moments of being down and lonely in a way they were not before.
Just felt like writing about this, but am open to any advice.

Hehe, yeah, getting lots of sex requires low integrity. People with high integrity don't have lots of sex.
Now you know why integrity is so rare.
Integrity ain't free.

My life is infinitely better with no interaction with my narcissistic, belligerent, abusive father, who brings misery to everyone he spends time with.

My life is infinitely sadder with no or less interaction with my caring, kind mother, who never deserved the end she got, stuck indoors in a bed or chair after decades of helping everyone around her.

My grandfather had a dry, sarcastic humor and we argued sometimes, but he was somewhat of a father figure to me and someone I miss having in my life.
My brother does opiates; he's a charismatic, kind person unless he needs his dose, then he'll manipulate anyone and everyone to get it. So I see him but don't go out of my way to get entangled in his life.
There is no answer to your question, other than it is what it is to you.

The only reason I spoke to him is because he lied to me that he was going to kill himself. I spoke to him to save his life.

These kinda videos are exactly what Connor wants. He's just an online attention whore who will do anything for clicks.
Once you understand that, then there's no more puzzlement about his odd and ridiculous behavior.
The real story here is how social media culture enables this kind behavior with sick incentives.
The solution is to stop giving attention to people who do things purely for online attention. Not to give them more attention. But the social media sickness goes so deep that the people who cover Connor's antics are also fishing for clicks by milking drama. So here we are.
While all this is happening no one is actually realizing they are God. Such are the workings of Maya.

That's a very tricky issue. There cannot a guarantee of correctness. There is no formula for being right.
Criticism is often wrong or partial or misguided. And I am guilty of that if I'm not super careful.
With Trump it's just so obvious he is pure corruption. With most people it's less obvious.
The more epistemology and consciousness work you do, the better you will become at judging character and seeing corruption accurately.
You have to be careful that your criticism is fair and doesn't strawman or come from ego.
You will notice that I am pretty good at steelmanning perspectives before criticizing them. I can steelman almost any perspective. I can steelman Hitler. That is because I actually care about understanding others. I don't just demonize Trump, I actually care about understanding his state of mind.
A commitment to genuine understanding of perspective is the key to avoiding the criticism trap. Understand before you criticize.
