Remember the entire purpose of why we are here is self-actualization, not group-actualization. Some statistics might have a stark truth to them but you shouldn't use it as a reason to distract yourself. It's not your job to fix society (unless that's your life purpose I guess, good luck). Work on yourself to be an exception to those numbers.

Am mod, can confirm this is my brain 24/7.

I don't know what your angle or assumption is with this question, but no personally I don't think there is anything like a soulmate or perfect partner. There are tons of people that are quite compatible with everyone, if you come across one and it feels right go for it. Don't let life pass you by it will be over before you know it.

The entire objective of Leo's channel and this forum is to break the rules, be exceptional, and defy conventional logic. Not sit around acting like a normie. If you want to be a normie though, be my guest.

There are literally billions of women out there, it's kind of a stupid waste of energy to categorize them and make judgements. You can find whoever you like if you wanted. Spend less time complaining and more time looking. You'll be happier.

A good leader gets their followers excited about a vision.

I don't understand how any of them are "unidentified"? They are flying right up to them with jets and have satellites and other high tech surveillance equipment pointed at them. A balloon can only be a few shapes.....

If she is clean they all mostly taste similar. You just gotta suck it up and do it. Somedays I'm not feeling it either. But it's my honor bound duty to get her off as a good man and boyfriend. Edit: Try spitting on it and getting it really sloppy. Your saliva should dilute the taste. Just be careful not to swallow so much fluid you can get a throat/mouth infection called thrush and it fucking sucks lol. Have a towel nearby if you are gonna do oral.

You gotta strike while the iron is hot or you will miss your chance. Just use your intuition.

Your first time having sex with any girl should be FUN - regardless if it's a one night stand or you're starting a potential relationship. The experience should be exhilarating and exciting for both of you. You're letting loose and exploring each others bodies for the first time, finding out what you both like (and don't like). The vibe should be playful, hedonistic, and lustful. You don't want to be romantic until later on (after meeting a 3-4 times, a month or two roughly) after you've got sexually comfortable with each other. Which means you are forming a sort of relationship, so to answer your question NO you don't want to be romantic with casual sex whatsoever. If you are romantic too soon a girl, it will kill the vibe. She will feel creeped out, that you're attached too early, and it puts too much pressure on her and the idea of the encounter and she'll flake out. I learned this the hard way when I was younger when I started having experiences with women. I was given the wrong impression and brainwashed by culture about how attraction works. VERY FEW women actually want romance early on, like 1/10. When they say they crave romance they are lying, but obviously unconscious that they are lying. Don't blame them it's not malicious, they are just conditioned with false ideas like everyone else. What they truly respond to and will get in bed for is a funny, playful guy to raise their energy level and make them interested in the spontaneous possibility of sex. I've been with nearly all age ranges now from 16 to 55. They all respond the same. It's what works. Period. DO NOT BE ROMANTIC unless you want to advance to girlfriend/boyfriend stage.

As I grow older, honestly I'm finding I respect people less and less. What people really mean when they say "treat everyone with respect" is; "be nice to people you don't know so you don't get off on the wrong foot". Just don't be a needless jerk, pretty simple. Respect from my point of view has to be earned. When I meet someone I don't know, it starts out at a neutral zero. Depending on how they behave, treat others, and as they reveal their values I will either start to respect them, or lack respect for them. My life has gone a lot better over the past 3 years - As I've stopped being as nice, started setting harder boundaries, and became more polarizing in my beliefs and attitudes. I've noticed people are starting to respect me a LOT more.

"Damage" is a stark way to put it. But I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of neurological pathway that is absent or didn't get activated growing up. Asexuality is an unusual thing. However humans are unusual. It's not impossible out of millions and millions of people you will have outliers, it's a guarantee actually.

This situation is the perfect example of how full of shit humans are. The dude could give away his entire fortune tomorrow and find the cure for cancer and people would STILL be on his case. "Why aren't you spending that money the way IIIII would spend it!" Jesus Christ

Of course they do. He is a senile, old, white, man, who is an establishment lifetime politician. The younger voters and activists coming into the fold who are increasingly influencing the Democratic party are going to want him out for the next cycle for someone more progressive and not as centrist. Everybody knows he was just a concession for stability because most people didn't want to chaos and stupidity of Trump for another 4 years. I want to say expect the unexpected, but I don't think Trump is going to have a lot of traction for 2024. It feels like that flame has burned out even on the right. I have a feeling it's going to be some new faces, and it will be interesting.

I am so lucky to live in such a geographically stable place. The natural disasters that happen in Canada are childs play compared to a lot of places in the world.

A Good Man does his best to be a steward of the world in his time here.

I'm against this balloon violence. They should have just left it up there. It was just Bing Chilling.

"If you don't have a plan for life, you'll become apart of someone else's plan."

lol what if a lot of things? Even if that did happen your best option for survival is to hide, or run away with as many people as you can take. Chances are the cops will probably shoot YOU too because of the chaos of the situation. I saw some meme a while ago poking a hole in the logic of people who fantasize over being a savior. If everyone has a gun they'll shoot the original shooter, then someone else will shoot that shooter, then they'll get shot by someone else thinking they're the shooter and so on until you're left with a lot of dead idiots who thought they were doing the right thing Most people cannot handle or get a chaotic situation like that under control effectively or reliably. Hell the police and military can barely do it that well and it's their day job. What chance does a Joe Schmoe have?

Don't get a gun. It's very existence in your control is the potential to contribute to senseless violence. You are only at risk of political violence if you go out rioting in the streets with all the other idiots.

It's only cold if the first thing you say is "you're cute, lets go out". Spending a few minutes to talk and ask questions is enough to let them know you're not a sociopath. If it's someone you know through school or work or whatever, then you get even MORE time to get acquainted so it's acceptable to ask them out. 95% of women don't have an issue with politely declining. Only 5% will make a "highly problematic" scene, and it's usually because the guy isn't aware of how he's coming off and if he is being appropriate or not.

Don't tell me that was a resentful no and you thought I was serious

I've done it all, and would recommend people drop apps completely. The technology is convenient but that's about it. In reality it's effect has been ironically been the OPPOSITE of what it was made for, it's stunted our ability to connect, not enhanced it. It's made people more shallow, bitter, entitled, and confused than ever. Just meet people in real life when you're out in the world working or doing stuff you like. If you see a girl that's cute. Literally walk up to her and ask her out, you'll know right away if there is chemistry. Instead of being led on through an app for a week to waste money and time on a date, only to find out you have no chemistry when you meet them. Online chit-chat means absolutely nothing.

Rebounding so soon is unhealthy. Have some sense and wait a month at least. Have the emotional intelligence to allow yourself to process things. You don't need to be perfectly ready for the next person, but at least have the decency to not drag baggage from your past relationship into the new one. If a girl can't help but bring up her ex or past relationships on a first date, that's an instant red flag to discourage me from wanting to see her again. I'm also strongly against getting back together with an ex. As a principle and rule I believe you should never do it. The relationship either works for life or it doesn't, there is no in-between. Once you lose that spark you should never consider them an option again. I am for remaining respectful friends though. The journey of life is to grow, process, and integrate experiences. In my opinion you can't do that properly trying to rekindle dead flames. It shows a lack of self-respect and giving into fear of moving forward into the unknown. It's like smoking or something else unhealthy to me. Do it if you want to, that's your freedom. But I don't want to hear you bitch about the consequences either.

Hmmm it's hard to say it depends on your goals and what you need. As an example I am a firefighter/EMR so I need to my body to work well, so I invest in the gym and eating good food even when it costs more. Putting money towards hobbies that can make you money one day is another, like art. This is something you have to use your imagination on. Money is a resource that touches nearly everything in life, so get creative and quirky. As for the family/debt/guilt thing, this is a good opportunity to become more of an individual. You can always pay them back someday, and probably will in ways that aren't financial. A good piece of advice is to remember you can only help others once you have already helped yourself and have your life together. If you are struggling and not in abundance yourself - how are you supposed to be generous with others? Sure you could give everything away and devout yourself like a monk, but you will only be able to do so much that way in our Western culture. You'll run out of emotional energy and resources rather quickly. Also appreciate parents generally want their kids to succeed and do well in life, which means doing what it takes to get them standing on their own two feet in the world. You don't have to feel indebted, feel gratitude!
