Don't project your worldview onto others. You're only hurting yourself. Part of personal development is realizing the bubbles of perspective you hold and dissolving them with new ideas. If 90% of guys suck with women, why are most of them getting laid? While you have a minority of guys hanging out with other guys (lol), having to learn pick-up? If you described what pick-up is to the good looking guy that's already doing good with women, they will laugh in your face. They won't comprehend why someone would need to do it. Careful not to become an NPC repeating talking points from YouTubers.

I never said anything about not talking to women. If you are socialized properly growing up, you talk to more than enough women to not be a retard around them. The problem is if you're a hermit in your youth and get addicted to video games and screens like a lot of kids these days it stunts your development. So by the time they graduate and don't get handed girls to socialize with they don't know what to do anymore. Technology is damaging our ability to socialize properly. Idk how many women I've approached or conversed with. Maybe 500, or 1000? You have to realize Leo's advocation for "approaching thousands of women" is a freak statistical outlier and unrealistic for most regular people. Nobody has time to design their life around that. Unless you really want to go ahead. Most guys could probably get a girlfriend they like or have sex with the number of girls they want doing only a quarter of that. You don't need to be James Bond to convince a girl to be with you. There are 8 billion humans, it's not rocket science. That kind of grinding is only necessary for the most degenerate basement lurkers that dug themselves a really deep hole.

That quote is all wrong. Guys who are "naturally" good with women are exactly that, natural. They never had to approach thousands of women, or practice lol. They were born smooth, or at the very least were lucky and had a good environment and role models growing up. For the same reason someone might be born athletic, or tall. Some people just get gifted certain things. Others have to deliberately work to get the same results. I sat beside my friend Leanne in high school math. Math was so easy to her she barely had to spend any time learning or studying it, yet it took me 4x as long to grasp the same concepts and equations. So I had to ask her for help constantly. I'm grateful she obliged so much or I probably would have failed haha. It's just random chance she was naturally good at math and I wasn't. So I had to do extra to "catch up". It's the same thing with learning pick-up, you are putting in extra work to catch up to guys who have success with women.

Comedy and a sense of humor is one of the best tools you could have in life to help take things lightly and create enjoyment where it might not be clear. Being serious too often will bring you to an early grave. I work in emergency services and comedy and dark humor can be helpful for twisting bleak things around, if just for a moment.

If I was you I'd give it my best shot, but don't keep banging your head on the wall for years on end if he doesn't come through. Remember it's not your job to "fix" him. You gotta live your own life too. Sometimes the best thing to do is lead by example, and maybe the sheep will notice you and break out of their spell.

You think so? I'm sure if he had the right people in his life they'd tell him to stop going on talk shows and saying he loves the Nazis lol. That's what friends are for after all.

He needs to go back to hanging out with Jay-Z more. Dude became a billionaire and married the finest pussy on Earth (Beyonce), yet you don't see him going clinically insane and unhinged despite his accomplishments. Kanye will be in a padded room soon lmao.

The connection between Red and Blue on Spiral Dynamics is a really interesting one. There is almost a weird switch being flipped from, "I am a scumbag who will break the rules." to "I hate people who break the rules." You can see the light bulb go on for criminals that actually reform and clean up their life, they start to see why their selfishness was bad and why rules exist in the first place. It's kind of amazing how those two worlds of psychological development are so close together. Then you have cops who put on the mask of following rules and working for Blue, but they have one foot still in the door of Red and will abuse their position for person gain. Example: Prison guards profiting off selling contraband to inmates. @Leo Gura I'm wondering if you could share a thought on this. I've always found the gap between these 2 stages the most difficult to grasp on SD.

Riveting story bruh

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy obviously. Graduation has some great songs but a lot of water as well.

Just rock that shit. Don't be ashamed of your masculinity. Establish dominance.

@Danioover9000 @Ulax the song is "Paranoid" encase the title isn't showing up in the link either. It must be blocked in certain countries. No idea why YouTube does that, just a glaring oversight from a billion dollar company I guess. They can't find their keyboards under the stacks of bills.

Unrelated non-outrage opinion - 808s & Heartbreak is easily his 2nd best album. It's underrated af and every song is a lowkey banger. He shows his more sentimental thoughtful side, without oversaturating the album with his trademark obnoxious arrogance I am God crap. What also makes it impressive is it's probably the only time in my life I've heard auto-tune sound good, but appropriate for the quality of the music. This is my personal favorite. I recommend everyone give the album a careful listen again and lmk what you think.

Trump does quantum accounting - he's simultaneously rich and poor depending on what forms he's filling out.

What do you mean by problems? Actual problems, or just thoughts that are being conjured up by your mind? I also started a downwards slope in the same timeline as you. What helped me was realizing not to take life so damn seriously. Life feels better to live if you are light and not carrying a bunch of bullshit.

I'm guessing he probably got the 6-6-6 decoration because; 1. It looks tight. 2. It's fun to troll people who actually take that stuff seriously. Think about how amusing that must be to hide subtle Easter eggs in the background of videos and have morons pulling their hair out over it. I would certainly get a kick out of it Well, amusing unless you are the moron of course.

My advice would be to say no and see each other less often before you leave. You'll have more time in between to ground yourself and be realistic, and when the time comes to split it won't hurt as much. It's like weening yourself off a drug. They may feel good in the moment, but ultimately unhealthy long term and not a sustainable habit. So is the case with some relationships.

I am not a blind defender of Leo. I criticize quite a bit. I've argued with him plenty in my post history, all there for free to view! I just think this particular accusation is extra dumb and conspiratorial. It doesn't even make sense. Let's say Leo was an actual pedophile, why would he KNOWINGLY oust himself by branding with such a sketchy logo? While you're struggling to come up with a convincing answer to that question, you might feel a slight tingle in your head. That is the feeling of your brain rotting while pondering such a stupid fucking thing. Edit: It's the same thing as progressives getting triggered for people using the OK symbol with their hands, saying it's a dog whistle for white power. No, there is nothing to it. You've giving your headspace around rent free

lmao I love how there has to be an explanation. Not just an explanation, an in depth meaningful one at that. Couldn't it just have possibly been - like any other reason someone ends up picking a logo? Because it looks cool.

lol no they don't. The entire process of trying to get with women is manipulation of some kind, including using honesty. There is nothing pure about it. If they wanted purity you'd be able to walk up to them and say, "I want to fuck you and put a baby inside you some day." but 999/1000 times you'd get a sexual harassment charge for that You have to go through a gauntlet of social games and "manipulations" before that sentence is even slightly palatable.

It's a good advantage if you want to spawn a lot of humans, but if you want people to be happy and produce a more quality civilization, then arranged marriages suck.

Yea that channel is binge worthy. There is something strangely comforting about it, that no matter how rough life may seem, at least I'm not so stupid to have a led throwing fight with the police.

4 nights? That's an expensive investment to get laid lol. Maybe just book 1 or 2 nights, a weekend is plenty of time to have fun. Don't put too much pressure on her she won't like it. As for the sensitive parts, I don't know what advice to give other than relax and breathe. A condom should help numb a lot and make you last longer. Really though just enjoy the experience and don't make such a huge deal out of it. There is a first time for everything! DO NOT use a spray or viagra or anything that will fuck with the natural function of your body. You are overthinking it and will ruin your own experience with so much tampering. Even if you cum early don't act all defeated and sad. Tell her you want to cuddle and watch a movie for a while, then you'll go for round 2. If you are gonna have the night together, you don't have to rush.

Oh my god, a women approached you and asked you out which is the equivalent of sighting a unicorn and here you are questioning the shit out of it lol. This is probably the only time in your entire life a woman will approach you and ask you out. Be happy man, go on the date and see what happens!

This all seems too volatile for you to make any serious commitments. I hope you keep your head on straight. Keep your plans with your career and moving. Honestly just have fun with her while you're still here, and be mindful about where your attachments are and pull them back a bit. Also don't let her get any more attached. This entire experience should be a temporary thing for you. Be ready to move on when the time comes, and be happy it happened. Be realistic. If she divorced once it's extremely likely she'd do it again (not saying you'll get married but you know what I mean). Loyal, trustworthy women don't look to upgrade after such a serious commitment. It's an obvious sign she does what is convenient for her without considering the consequences it has on others.
