Going to the gym has helped me realize that while we did have great memories and times together, she is not my ideal partner. She is not existentially nor psychologically grounded. My thing now is learning how to find a partner who has a love for philosophy and psychology.

Not sure if I understand. What is the adult response move here in this situation?

Have options.

Both. Mostly just trying to move on and find someone better. But I am not getting anywhere. I am 26 yo and time is running thin. I want to have more relationships in my youth so I can decide whether I want kids or not one day. Still not certain on that. Damn. How did that happen?

This is my first experience guys by the way. I am 26 yo with Aspergers Syndrome or ASD and ADHD. Not really sure how to deal with this. Appreciate any support.

Stop consuming nonsense Andrew Tate content.

There is no social backlash. People offered me alcohol and I said no. They offered me weed and said no. I still hung out with them and blew their minds with my magic tricks and dancing skills. I teach people that you can be high without drugs. It is also good for pre-selection because I don’t want friends who are substance abusers. Not interested in women who cannot vibe with me sober on the same level of consciousness. If you need drugs to have fun, something is wrong with your methods. The most spiritual thing you can do at a bar/club is being sober and non attached to drugs. Be the Buddha at the bar.

I agree and am the same way as Leo. Just respect yourself and achieve everything sober. Alcohol lowers your intelligence. I don’t understand why anybody drinks alcohol. It literally shrinks your brain.

In my experience, women like a guy that asks for consent and not just assumes and violates boundaries. I just say something simple like “is it okay if I kiss you right now?” If she says “no.” Then, I just say “no problem.” And then I move the heck on.

Good points. Glad I made a thread about it. What do you think Oregon should do differently? Portugal makes it where they can go to rehab, but if they do not go, then they will be charged with disobedience and will be moved to criminal system. All of these treatment facilities in Portugal are free so I am not sure how they are able to do that. The treatment facilities and healthcare in America are messed up. I am not sure what would fix it. They should have free counseling and rehab services for all. There is a high demand for those services though too, so I can see how it can be difficult.

I agree. I am an existential therapist and see the effects of drugs on people, as well as the limits of health care resources. I am not sure what my stance is on this issue. It all sounds good to legalize it all but am skeptical. Isn’t that logic you used the same that right wingers use to justify having guns? They say it’s so easy to get them from black market, so we might as well make them available to all. I am not against that, I just think drugs and guns need regulation. Some people could be buying drugs and not understand the risks in the same way people buy processed foods and don’t understand the risks. We cannot assume that people will give much thought and research into their decision-making nor make the best choices. That’s the cost of freedom.

I don’t think our healthcare industry is ready for that kind of change. I don’t think the majority of people are either.

It is not about the size of the brain but the right neural connections. Dolphins have bigger brains than humans, but humans on average are still more intelligent than dolphins. Why is that? One hypothesis is because humans have more cerebral capacity than dolphins. My theory is that intelligence is also associated with the body. The human body is more versatile and equipped for more intelligent things like hands to make things. A dolphin cannot make a 3D computer because it does not have the body to do so. But imagine if we gave dolphins artificial limbs to help them be able to have similar levels of intelligence as us. Dolphins are more intelligent in terms of not polluting the earth and being friendly towards each other. Whereas humans have struggles with just co-existing amongst each other. It really depends on how you define intelligence because it is so nuanced.

Yeah! It's amazing! I am just focusing on socializing and making friends. It takes the pressure off. I went up to a group of girls and got rejected, and it didn't matter. It's their loss and my gain. I made 2 new women friends and got their SnapChats.

So we are playing that game, huh? I have a PhD in detecting ratshit. I taught myself because universities are full of it.

Dogshit excuse. I am sure he called plenty of people in his spare time but you weren’t on the list of priorities. Time to move on or have undeniable proof that there is a change and a genuine apology. I wouldn’t expect any change.

This helped me to get out of my house, go to the drag show bar and make two new women friends. We had a great night at the dance club after. Thank you.

I am ready to start socializing more. I am wanting to work on talking to women and getting into “pick up.” By pick up, I don’t mean short term fun. I mean being able to attract many women and go on multiple dates and then choose the one I want. I live in a college town. I am 26 years old. I have had success with attracting women when it comes to me performing magic tricks for them. But I want to be able to do this through my cold reading and conversation skills. My main fear is talking to a woman but she has a boyfriend who is nearby. As a magician, I can do this easier because it is not obvious that I am “picking her up.” But without magic, I fear that when I talk to a woman, she may have a boyfriend and he may see me and try to kick my ass. I saw a beautiful woman walk into Aspen Coffee. I was going to try just to talk to her, but I noticed that she went to a guy who I presume to be her boyfriend. How do you guys go around this? I don’t want to get into any trouble.

What’s wrong with asking?

I would agree with that analysis then.

Please don’t derail the thread.

I can see how you thought the title suggested that. But you need to read my post. Please make sure you read my post and not just my title. Like you are saying, what do you expect if you just read the news headlines and not the articles? You will get an unenlightened brain. Also, nobody here is enlightened. Enlightenment doesn’t exist. If consciousness is infinite, then you will never reach the end. Notice how Leo always says I’ve reached a new level, a new level, a new level, a new level of understanding. That implies that he didn’t have a complete awakening before. There is no such thing as complete awakening or enlightenment.

Nobody said anything about flirting with others spouses. The thing is that you don’t know if a girl is taken until you ask. And yes, I am afraid of getting punched in the face. Do I deserve it? No. In my city, a guy got shot because he was just friends with a girl. The boyfriend thought she was cheating. This kinda stuff is ridiculous.

Leo is definitely an empiricist. He thinks our perceptions are absolute truth. He thinks rationality cannot be trusted but our senses can. At least that was his view when I talked to him about the veil of perception.

Damn. That truth bomb hit harder than Oppenheimer.
