@Michal__ Exactly, and the average return on Stocks is around 7-8% after inflation. It is not going to make you rich unless you pick the next Tesla (or Bitcoin ) which let's be real, is unlikely. 
Stocks / Crytpo / Precious Metals are long-term investments that shouldn't take up too much of your mind space unless you're day trading or actually working in the space in some form. 
Best way to build wealth is starting a business / career & THEN thinking about investing imo. 

It is a myth that girls at the club are "sluts". They are no more sluts than any other girl. All girls will have sex when emotionally stimulated in the right ways. Stop thinking you're special or above that.

Nah I don’t really see it as thieving, depending on what you’re specifically trading.  One person wants to sell stock in a given moment and one person wants to buy.
Although I wouldn’t recommend day trading however. There’s better things to do. Also most traders probably make less return than just investing in the S&P500. I personally only passively invest in ETFs. It’s the safest option and generally outperforms most people who try to “pick” stocks 

They are celebrities for a reason. They are attractive. That's the game. The game lies in their ability to attract.

Investing is a great way to build wealth, yes. 
If you want to have a career in these fields, if done right of course they can be high conscious, like pretty much anything. 
If you're just looking to invest, firstly, focus on creating a business / developing your career / LP to build wealth first, then from there you can invest the excess etc 
But, people always say I have X amount of $$ where shall I invest. 
I think you should firstly build your own income through Work / Business as that will make you free much faster than investing. Then from there set up your investment portfolio & carry on building wealth, when done right, you can certainly retire a millionaire. 
 

I didn't say that men shouldn't do pick up. That's a strawman. I would probably do some pick up if I were a man. 
I merely said that pick-up only works on a percentage of the the female population and that it's not universal.
But my deeper point is that the way that pick up presents female sexuality is a distortion... a workable distortion that can help men get laid. But it is still a distortion and should not be confused for accuracy. And this distortion gets in the way of deeper bonding experiences between men and women.
 

It's sort of like you're saying, don't practice piano because you're not perfect and natural at it.
Guys need a mechanism for getting better with women. Pickup is that mechanism. You can criticize it, but then you need to invent a better mechanism that actually works for guys.
The problem is that what women think will work for guys -- does not work! It's like telling a lion to eat tofu. Sounds nice in theory but doesn't work in practice because he's a lion.

How would you know that?
That's like saying the gym doesn't work for everyone.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
I have used pickup skills to create deep bonding experiences. Of course not everything is a deep bonding experience, nor should it be.
The average guy who has zero training will not know how to create deep bonding experiences. Which is your typical guy who you ladies complain about. He has no idea how to do deep sex or how to please you.
Getting good with women requires training for most men. And training comes with lots of failure and trial and error.

Of course it's possible. They just rarely want to. Women have little interest in sitting down and logically analyzing and deconstructing their attraction. Because it ruins the illusion.
Girls have a vague right-idea of what attracts them: humor, confidence, masculine energy, leadership, strength, dominance, charisma, social status, authenticity, etc. But they will not tell you how to create these things. They just expect you to naturally have it and never work to create it. They tend to think that if you work to create it you are doing something wrong, unnatural, and cheating. And that's because plenty of guys do fake those things to lure in women, and of course women hate that because they don't want the fake thing, they want the real thing. But they have no interest in knowing what it takes to create the real thing. They just know they want it. They don't care how the guys gets it. And they are not very tolerant or understanding of the guy's struggle/attempts to create it. The attempts are framed as fakery and cheating -- not genuine desire for growth. So when a guy fucks up the pickup, the girl doesn't think, "Oh, he's doing this to try to become a better man but he failed here", she thinks, "This guy is a fake creep loser trying to get in my pants. This is gross and horrible".
They want the sausage but they don't want to know how its made.

@machinegun Dude, when you got so little starting capital stocks are pointless.
If you want to generate serious money look into business, not stocks.
Your whole approach to money is wrong. You are looking for ways to leech money, when you should be looking for ways to become a massive value provider. If you want to become wealthy make yourself a massive value provider and don't even think about leeching value.

3 second rule: When you see a hot girl, count to three and start walking over to her even if you have no clue what you'll say.
Try a very authentic and natural opener like: "Excuse me. Hi. I just saw you 3 seconds ago and forced myself to come over her and talk to you. I didn't want to but I knew I had to."
Let your opener just be a straight narration of how you feel or think. And don't forget to fucking smile as you open.

Illusion is relative reality, parading as ultimate reality. It is still reality. This deserves to be honored, not dismissed. There is Mystery, and "we" will never solve it, because we are it.

I pussied out again & have this feeling of lingering self hatred. 
This has gone on for too long. 
I don't know what to do. Should I try find an accountability partner on this forum? Or is that me just not being independent & getting on with it. 
I only get chances to appraoch so often due a mix of factors. 
All the nootropics in the world won't work on your energy after pussying out, it depletes me inside. It's the "Loser effect".
Only so much game theory is useful. Ultimately if i'm gonna pussy oout all the game in the world is useless. I need to be a winner. 
I can't concentrate on my goals now, I hate being a pussy. I can't accept myself right now. 
My life & actions does not match my standards, it's too painful. 

Real estate keeps its value very well and even adjusts for inflation because everyone needs it. Crashes are temporary and nowhere near as bad as a BitCoin crash. A BitCoin crash would wipe out your investment in one week. Real estate will never do that. At most it crashes 20-30%, and then rebounds after a few years and such crashes happen once a decade or less.

There is real estate, stocks, etc.
If you want a solid investment look into real estate.

Race-IQ garbage is making genetic claims, not environmental or developmental ones. That's a key difference.

Don't confuse IQ with cognitive and moral development. These are very different things.

Pickup lines are meaningless. Pickup lines will not get you laid, don't waste your time on them.

If you got high looks, online dating will be shooting fish in a barrel.

Insightful interview about MAGA ideology:
 

Pumping and dumping. Supply is not an absolute thing. Supply and demand form a complex interconnected relationship.
If I can go on Facebook or YT and hype up BitCoin as the greatest thing ever, people start to buy it en masse, and this effectively manipulates the price by manipulating supply and demand. The absolute number of coins never needs to change for this manipulation to take place and lose you all your money.
In the end what affects you is not the absolute number of coins but their relative value to when you purchased and sold them. It doesn't matter what the underlying value is, if you purchase and sell at the wrong time you will lose money. And it's very easy to purchase and sell at the wrong times. So this idea that BitCoin is a "sure thing" is just a fantasy.

Seems like a good framework. Even though there is subjectivity, I think nearly everyone would agree about 5 pts of separation. For example, very few people would find a 3 more attractive than an 8 on that scale.

Life cannot exist without bias. Consider it what you will.

A man's looks are an important factor. But there is a range of consideration.
Now, I'm an average looking woman... maybe a 5 or 6. 
So, if a guy is between a 4 and a 6 looks-wise, I can become attracted to him. It doesn't necessarily mean that I will be attracted to him. That has to do with a multitude of other factors. But looks-wise, that's my range of ability to develop an attraction to someone.
If he is under a 4, then I am unlikely do develop an attraction to him because his looks would be underneath my range.
If he is over a 6, then I am unlikely to develop and attraction to him because he probably won't be excited by me or desire me, and that's a huge turn-off. I like to be the peacock of the relationship.
But when an attraction does set in for me, I really appreciate the way a guy looks because of the way I feel about him. A good-looking guy on his own doesn't do much for me. But if an attraction sets in, I just love the way the guy looks.
This is always the way it has worked for me.

Lmao -  just figured out the great physicist richard feynman learned some old school pickup back in his day. From Surely you’re joking Mr.feynman:
