EXACTLY! That is the key insight which nobody grasps!
You are incapable of understanding reality because nature is holding a gun to your head and you are too threatened and distracted.
It's not about luxury, it's about selfishness vs selflessness. You are too fucking selfish to understand reality. And from this one thing come ALL of your problems.

I'm a lone wolf type guy so I avoid these issues simply by keep to myself and following my life purpose.
If someone is being an ass to you, leave their company. If it's a boss or coworker, then that's more challenging but that's basically turning into workplace harassment. You should be able to speak to HR about that and get them to stop. If it's a friend, change friends. If it's a family member, move away from your family or confront them about it. If it's happening at school, just ignore the person and stay away from them.

@Inliytened1 Honestly ask yourself: Was Kirk shot because the shooter heard a leftist calling Kirk a fascist on the internet? Or was Kirk shot because he said bigoted and inflammatory things which offended and outraged the shooter?
Who has been stoking the culture war for the last 10 years for viral clicks?

The sad thing is that most leftist pundits have more empathy for Charlie Kirk's death than Donald Trump does. And yet MAGA are so stupid they actually think Trump has empathy for their own. He doesn't. He doesn't give a fuck that Kirk was killed other than as an opportunity to blame the left and agrandise himself.

It adds up.
Charlie has said so many racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and regressive things, with such aggressive ignorance and arrogance, that out of tens of millions of viewers, one of them is bound to have a mental illness and hold a grudge.
What most normies do not understand is that if you have 1+ million YouTube subcribers and you speak on controversial topics, you are guaranteed to get death threats. We all get them. It's only a matter of time until one of them is acted upon. The more hateful things one says, the bigger the odds become. Every hateful or bigoted statement pissed off one extra psycho person who might decide to act out.
Also, Charlie was directly involved in getting Trump elected. He wasn't just a pundit, he was the chief MAGA vote recruiter. His entire agenda is putting MAGA in power. Of course some unhinged viewer will want revenge for that.

A hunter can easily make that shot.
He was probably aiming for the head, not the neck.
You can go practice that shot out in the woods for a week and you will perfect it.
The dude who did it was not so pro. He allowed his face on the cameras. He will definitely be caught now.
A pro would have used a much better disguise so his face was fully covered.
This guy didn't even wear a covid face mask. Such an oversight. He could have worn a bigger hat and covid mask and wig. Then he would never be found.

You can just explicitly hit on girls as long as you're in a location where it is socially acceptable. For example, you can just say, "Omg, you are sexy as fuck, girl." But you have to say it in a non-needy and matter-of-fact way, and you cannot just leave it there to hang, you must splice it into the middle of a conversation and quickly move on with the rest of the conversation. You must say it as an aside.
Like you could be talking to her about her dogs, and in the middle of that you put your hand on her shoulder and say, "Omg, you are sexy as fuck, girl", and continue talking about her dogs as though you didn't even just hit on her. This requires some tact and skill to pull off, but it works really well once you master it. This skill lets you turn social interactions into romantic ones while still maintaining an air of "just being social".
Really, the most effective way to get girls is using the "just being social" method, but sprinkling in intent and flirtation. This way you slip past the defenses and you can even do it in front of her friends without triggering their defenses. You can even do this in front of her mom and it will work. The "just being social" frame buys you A LOT of leeway and good will. The trick here is to not fall into the friendzone. So you have to maintain sexual intent without being explicit about it.

So i have started talking to girls and so far i have went out with 3 of them on a 1-1 setting. However i have noticed that i struggle with sexualization and flirting when the meeting is not clearly a date. 1 of the girls i met was clearly into me and with her flirting was effortless. It was very easy and it came natural to me to flirt then with the others. The girls looks have nothing to do with this. It is just that if their attitude towards me is more platonic or neutral, if i am unsure that they even see me romantically i struggle to flirt and sexualize.
I am talking here about flirting, not about being fun and playful. I can act fun and playful with all girls. Making them laugh, being goofy, not overly logical etc is no issue.  However flirting and sexualization is something that i can only do comfrotably if i know the girl is into me somewhat. Also if the girl acts in a very neutral way, i struggle to change the frame into a flirty/sexual frame. Imagine trying to flirt with a church girl, that is the way it feels to me. I think it is totally in my head since i can flirt much more easily with girls that i know are somewhat into me. 
Any advice/help?

I find it hilarious that people now are doing surprised Pikachu face that Trump is a monster.

@oldhandle No not you. Just in general.
Conservatives have no shame. I've already surrendered to that reality.

Sounds silly.
My guess is it was some pro-Palestinian activist seeking revenge for Charlie's 100% pro-Zionist views.
As I said before, the atrocities in Gaza will cause terrorism in America for generations to come. I think this is the first major case of that.
Just practically, Charlie would have done 40 years of new propaganda had he lived. So it is a setback for the right. It will not be so easy for them to replace him. He was a huge leader on their side and he played a big role in winning elections for MAGA. He swung elections.
But even so, killing him was wrong. We can't kill people just for having ideology we disagree with. That is not democracy.
I think this is quite different. Trump was shot at but lived. So it wasn't a big deal.
I've already seen frightening levels of radicalization and demonization of the left and Dems as evil for causing this.

I came on this forum in 2018 as a 16 year old. I was broke, sleeping on a mattress on the floor with my siblings (family of 7) in Bulgaria. 
I am now a millionaire in NYC, helping my parents and paying my sister's education. And this ain't even the fucking start. 
I have been on and off the forum over the years, but I always circle back to Leo's work. All of it is real. 
Take this shit serious. Drop the bullshit. 

When your political opponents are killed it can arouse mixed emotional reactions. This is natural. On the one hand you feel empathy for the murder, on the other hand you can feel a sick glee that someone heinous got his comeuppance.
The mind is not always a positive empathy machine. Complex, confliciting emotions can rise. The important thing is to stay mindful of them.

He was a propagandist. That is not respectable.
When a right-winger says "free speech", he means "free speech for me".

Do not overlook that feelings and the feminine approach has its own kind of truth that your masculine mode fails to see. This is a nuanced issue. It is not as simple as "women don't care about truth but men do. Facts don't care about your feels, bitch!". No. Something deeper is being said.

God help you if you tell a woman there's anything wrong with her.
Haha 

Sex is over rated. The older you get the more you realise it. I actually find it quite repulsive a lot of the time.

What are people's opinion on this?
I am currently a 21 year old male, who has never ever even kissed a girl let alone became close enough to actually have sex with one.  
At this point, all I want to do is just lose my virginity to someone, as I don't think I am quite ready for a girlfriend yet as I am currently just trying to focus on myself and my own life and goals. 
But I would like to experience what sex is like, and can't see myself having sex with a girl I know (as I don't know any girls that would ever have sex with me), and I don't have the skills currently to go out and pickup girls.
So yeah... do you think I should go through with it and just get an escort for the night and fulfil this part of me?

@rnd if you're like a 31yr old virgin you may  as well get it over with if if would make you any less anxious around grills. 
Otherwise just lower your standards for s GF and explore sexuallity sitht her. 
 

It's just pathetic.
Rather than developing yourself into an attractive man you are paying to remain unattractive.

Yeah, he is fake as tits.
Typical problem with the Stage Orange self-help slop industry.

I don't particularly even care that liberals are organizing against MAGA and fighting fire with fire. I'm not some fool who expects politics to be squeaky clean. I still consider establishment Dems allies. I still consider Pakman, Destiny, BTC, and Kamala Harris allies. Centrists are needed to defeat MAGA. Realistically Dems need dark money to defeat MAGA because MAGA are ruthless barbarians who will stop at nothing to corrupt society.
My blog post was about a larger issue about how easily social media influencers can and will be corrupted going forward. My points are never about some one political issue like defeating Trump.
The issue is that this money and influence will be used to create biased propaganda that poisons the epistemic ecosystem. So my concern is about the ecosystem, not defeating Trump. Although of course I want to defeat Trump too.
If all I cared about was politics, I wouldn't mind this Chorus thing because it can help win elections. But I don't like epistemic cost.

That's just an opener to clearly establish a sexual frame. I don't really consider it a compliment or qualification. It's just a way to let her know you are talking to her for dating purposes.
Ideally you would avoid complimenting physical features period. But if there is something you genuinely like about her which is a bit less obvious, focus on that. Stuff that is not overtly sexual like eyes, face, smile, freckles, tattoos, hair, nails, piercings, jewelry, smell, etc.
Once she's really into you and sleeps with you, then you can compliment her on stuff like her ass, tits, nipples, pussy, how she sucks your dick, etc and she will love it.
Yes, energy is a good one. Vibe. Femininity. Passion. Enthusiasm. Submissiveness. Fashion sense. Maturity. Wisdom. Intelligence. Spiritual connection. Intuitiveness. Special skills she has like cooking. Cool hobbies. Adventurousness. Health-consciousness. The way she kisses. etc.
Of course ideally your compliments are as authentic and genuine as possible. This is pretty easy. Just look for features about her you genuinely like and then tell her about it. If you are seriously attracted to a girl there should be stuff about her you genuinely love besides her ass and tits.
All those openers will work. What really matters is your vibe and sub-communication behind the openers and how you carry on the conversation afterwards. The verbals of the opener are truly irrelevant.

Complementing a hot girl on her beauty is preaching to the choir. She already knows she's hot. She's been told that her whole life by everyone. It's like complimenting a billionaire for being rich. It comes off so cringe. Jeff Bezos does not need you to compliment him on his wealth.
I would never compliment a hot girl on her looks. It just makes you look like a desperate chump.
This sounds good in theory but in practice hot girls get hit on a lot more than average girls. They literally have dozens of guys orbiting them, desperate to get in their pants. This notion that hot girls rarely get approached because they are too intimidating is a fairytale. Guys are not stupid. They target the hottest girls first. Not all guys are struggling Incels. Plenty of guys got natural game.
1) Stop trying to flatter girls. Especially hot ones.
2) Stop complimenting girls on their appearance and compliment on their unique traits and personality.

Way too broad of a generalization. Hot girls can be bitchy because they get hit on a lot. But they can also be sweet. You're not going to predict it. Girls' moods change every day. Stop over-analyzing and just approach the ones you like. Get some hard blowouts.
