It's not that.
The best guy in game who I ever met was a natural. He didn't even know about pickup. But he's better than RSD pickup coaches.
I tried teaching him some game concepts, like state. He said, "What's state?" I explained it to him, and he said, "Oh! I'm in state as soon as I get in my car!" This guy was a natural salesman. He could sell condoms to a nun.
He told me he hated his mother and didn't trust any women because she was a selfish bitch.
It's not about parents. It's about extroversion genetics.
If you look carefully, all the best pickup coaches are natural extroverts. That's the secret to game which they don't tell you. The introverts will never have as good game, no matter how much they practice. The more introverted you are the harder game will be for you. Your brain is just not wired for it. However, your brain is wired for other better things like contemplation.
Owen modeled his game after naturals. Then he sold everything he learned from naturals to chumps through RSD. I met the natural Owen modeled his game from. This is why Owen's game is not the best. His magic was not in game, it was in selling you desperate chumps. Owen is a marketing genius, not a game genius. With that said, I'm not saying his game is shit. So don't misunderstand me.
Now you understand the whole secret to RSD. Owen used his marketing genius to selling natural game to millions of desperate introverted guys. Not because he was great at game, but because he was great at marketing.
Ta-daaaa!

I don't trust any woman who finds me attractive

The core fundamentals of game that RSD teaches are valid. I've never said otherwise. Owen has done pioneering work in the field of "natural" game. His work back in the 2012 era was next-gen stuff.
You have to be more nuanced and careful.
Just because I have a few criticisms of Owen doesn't mean the fundamentals of RSD theory are wrong.
I'm sure Owen's game is good when he's in the zone. But you have to understand that Owen does more business than he does game. Owen's top shtick is running RSD. He's not out there purely gaming like Julian was in the early days. Owen has a business to run.
I know from insiders that Julien had a much higher lay count than Owen and Julien's game was much better. But again, this doesn't mean Owen isn't good at times or that his teaching are false.
You have to remember that Owen is/was a hard case newbie autistic introvert and pretty weird and socially awkward. Owen is not a natural and his game will never be as good as natural. The best PUAs are naturals.
I've met real naturals. True naturals are even better than professional PUAs. Professional PUAs are just aping naturals. I have a natural friend who knows nothing about pickup, but he's better than RSD coaches.
Jack Black is not a PUA. So relative to a PUA he doesn't get laid much, I would assume.
Again, looks STILL matter. Just because Jack Black is a charismatic beast does not mean he will get infinitely laid. It just means that he will get laid more than a whiny incel with zero frame.
I was just using Jack Black to demonstrate charisma. Of course Owen has charisma too and you could make a video of Owen's game and use it illustrate the same point. But I wanted an example that was outside pickup. This is an issue which transcends pickup. That's what I was trying to highlight. Guys get so stuck in gaming girls that they overlook something more fundamental.
I also used Jack Black because he's fat, short, and not good-looking.
My criticisms of Owen mostly come down to the immature aspects of pickup which I want to see him outgrow. And Jack Black is free of that, so I got nothing to criticize him for.
Yes, of course. And that's the gold in his teachings. I've never criticized him for that part.
Owen's 2012-ish RSD content is the foundations of game and I have always recommended it. If he hadn't deleted all his old YT videos, I would be linking them.
My criticisms are more about 2022 Owen vs 2012 Owen. Part of the criticism is that I expected Owen to outgrow some of this shit by now. But as I have said before, there's much you can learn from Owen and his work should be respected.

@Yali Fantasies.
You cannot even begin to comprehend how bad the suffering can get.

BS. These are clever excuses from facing Truth.
The entire notion of socializing is BS. How much fucking socializing will ever be enough for him?

Autistic people lack the intuitive awareness needed of other people's perspectives and they operate too much on logic and not enough on just vibes.
In order to socialize well you are not allowed to think, you must run spontenously off vibes and just be intuitive.
I retrained my mind to run off vibes and intuition without thoughts.

I see a handful of massive companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Tesla, etc using AI to become such massive monoplies that they buy up everyone and everything in the field of tech, sucking up tens of trillions of value while little people are left with crumbs.
That's the real danger.

Love? Good lord! This isn't love.
Girls take time to build investment in you. You are overly invested in her and she barely knows you exist. Because girls build investment through emotions and sex.
What you need to do is build your emotional connection with her. Not via text but in person. Make her feel some connection to you, to experience your masculine energy. And then ask her out for a drink.
The reason she isn't responding to your texts is because she lives in her own bubble and your texts are meaningless to her. She will start responding when she starts getting invested in you.
You are lucky she responds to your texts at all.
Ideally what you could do is set up some fun group social events and use text to invite her out. Not as a date, but a fun social event. Then you flirt with her and build up a connection. Then she will want to fuck you.

Theortically could be. But most likely a vain egomaniac with nothing better to do and using "art" as a rationalization.
Thing is, a serious artist would find bodybuilding far too limited of a medium. I find my Youtube videos are far too limited of a medium for my art.
I wouldn't call Arnold Schwarzeneggar an artist. He's doing something else.
Generally no.

That's definitely an absurd fantasy.
You don't need that. A girl will want to have sex with you by the 3rd date at the latest. And not just want, but need. She doesn't want you to court her for a month. As a man you should be assertive about what you know you want. She wants you to want her and to be confident in it, not wishy-washy. She is testing you to see how bad you want her.
Love is a thing that comes long after sex.

It's really basic.
A foot-long dick can't help you get girls simply because she doesn't know you have it. And if you tell her you have it, it sounds desperate and creepy so it actually works against you.

I appreciate all higher states of consciousness. Just gotta be careful not to get stuck in them.
1) I have experienced levels of consciousness which rendered all human spirituality teachings as ridiculous. This made me disillusioned with all human spiritual teachings, because they are all wrong in the end. I can't be bothered to take human spiritual teachings seriously any more because that illusion has been shattered for me. I place very little value in anything spiritual that humans say. That's just where I'm at. With that said, as you say, for everyday human life those teachings are still valuable. Because the consciousness I experienced is impractical and even dangerous and antithetical to human life.
2) Ironically, it's the teachers who I am critical of who sell you on the fantasy of being invincible, or reaching some final state. I've sufferred a lot and faced a lot of limitation, so I appreciate how limited the human experience is. What I see is that a lot of spiritual people are kidding themselves. They have brainwashed themsleves with spiritual ideas and fantasies. Because in truth they were never thinking critically about anything. They were just lapping up what some guru was telling them. And then they fused those fantasies with their legit higher states of consciousness, thereby locking in the fantasy. But eventually life will shatter those fantasies. But they probably won't tell you when that happens.

Look. Some people are hot and some are not. I didn't invent this system.
What politically correct term should we invent for ugly people which would not hurt their feelings?
Mating is a brutal system and it's not fair. Lots of feelings get hurt all around in this game.

The lesson is: girls have zero loyalty or care for you until sex, regardless of what they say.

You need to figure out your life purpose and career.
What are you passions?

David Sinclair, Harvard professor, longevity reseacher & author - best known for his appearances on Joe Rogan and several other podcasts - seems to be one of the new big snakeoil salesmen in the medical industry. I did not expect this kind of bullshitting from someone with his credentials, but there you have it.
Absolutely shocking:
 
 

That's a different matter.

Lol. I’ve been in 4 long-term relationships. I didnt know I abused the shit out of them 🤷🏼‍♀️

@r0ckyreed
Your OP is full of excuses and defense mechanisms to avoid growing yourself as a man.
Ironic when all this crap comes from that profile picture. Seems to be just a compensation.
”I know what I want. I want an assertive woman who knows what she wants and who doesn’t conform to the BS social norms and tradition of men always having to make the first move.”
No, you’re just too scared to be a man and approach the damn feminine girl.
Go out there and approach a 1000 girls. Then most of this bitching will be gone. And you’ll actually learn to enjoy the game.

This is just some BS story your mind invented.
There are literally a billion women in non-abusive relationships. No reason why you can't be one of them.

It was actually triggered by my awakenings. I had awakenings that gave me much deeper insight into how attraction works. Without the awakening I was not conscious enough to see it.
Boldness can take you far in life. But it's not everything.
Looks is also a complex issue. Someone might be short, but otherwise great looking, or tall and ugly. So you shouldn't over-simplify these things.
Look, this isn't science. Attraction is a nebulous thing. I don't have numerical scales of how it works.
You shouldn't be thinking so hard about this. It doesn't matter. You only need to think about going out and talking girls. If you start obsessing of your looks to his anal numerical degree then you will struggle to get laid, because all this thinking is antithetical to game.
You will never get clear-cut answers about attraction because it's a very messy, multi-factorial process. Dozens of factors go into making someone attractive. The more of those factors you have the higher your success rate becomes. Some of those factors you can control and some you can't. Don't worry about the ones you can't, worry about the ones you can.
The status only helps if it's something she can experience or see/feel. If you're the boss of your company and you go out to a bar, no girl there will know or care. So that will add nothing to your results. But if you're the boss of your company and you want to date your secretary, your higher position obviously helps you. Or if you go to the bar with 20 of your employees and they are all flocking around you, this makes you more attractive in the bar.
There are complex tradeoffs between status and ugliness. Obviously if you look like troll but have high status then you will get laid less then if you were high status and had great looks. But you will get laid more with high status than otherwise.
Less attractive people pair with each other because that's the best they can get. And many people just have low standards and willing to settle with someone who they are compatible with personality-wise and looks are not a big deal for them. Most people are not so looks-obsessed. In a sense, when we're talking about pickup, it's an very biased pursuit because pickup assumes you're into chasing hot girls. Most people in the world aren't doing that. They just settle for the first girl that is willing.

With awakening you are still stuck in a dream, but you are more conscious or lucid within it.
"Us" and "separate" are part of the dream. So is "death". Any notions of anything are part of the dream. So you can't really use any notion to ground the dream because all notions are part of the dream.

@Jehovah increases Don't overlook the value Owen offers. It's too easy to be cynical. You can learn a lot from Owen if you really want to grow.

I don't even know if I would call myself intermediate.
There are many variables involved: how often you go out, how long you stay out, how hard you hit it, your health, your logistics situation, time of the year, what city you live in, your skill level, your personality type, the quality of girls you're trying to pull, your ethics, luck, what your goals are, how much momentum you've built up, your emotional state, etc. So there's not going to be any clear number. It will vary a lot from guy to guy.
A bad month is zero.
But also, I don't measure my results based on quantity of girls I sleep with. That's a pretty foolish measure. I would rather sleep with 1 amazing girl than 10 below average ones. But even that is still not the right measure because the skills developed and life experiences gained are more important. I measure my results based on how much it grows me internally. This way if I have a month where I get zero girls, I still see it as part of my overall success and I don't quit. Whereas most guys would just quit.

It is, but I assume you don't got that, otherwise you won't be complaining about hot women.
But even if you got that, hot women have so many options that you will still struggle to sleep with any particular one just off your looks and game. Plenty of guys around who have good looks and game. It's not hard for hot women to meet such men.

Lol.
There is no such country. You are just blind to all the ugly girls in your country.
