@Runtz I don't think I've done 2000 cold approach sets. Making an analogy to chess - playing chess is having fun, analyzing your games is where the growth happens. Of course you can build skill with brute-forcing it, but that's not so efficient. balance 20% theory and then go and do massive action - but try and make it nuanced. Check how different openers mean different reactions and sets and outcome of sets and how some are just plain bad. Rejection doesn't mean the girl rejected you - she rejected the way you played. Never take the rejections personally. Doesn't mean you won't cry though. But if you are willing to go through it, of course you're gonna make it. The problem though is that I believe you need to work on your inner game before approaching girls. It can be hard and harsh and having a negative mindset going into it not only means that it will feed your confirmation bias, learned helplessness and maladaptive attribution styles, but that you will bring in the rejection with you. It's a vicious circle.

@Eternal Unity I am just concerned about the medication you're taking because it's way more harmful than helpful. I cannot preach that over the internet though, it would be too irresponsible. Please research the history and social context of neuroleptics and their mechanisms of action. I've had multiple clinically relevant struggles and episodes (psychosis and hypomania) and I "recovered" (nothing to recover from, it comes and it goes just like everything) naturally. Wish you the best!!!!!!!!

@WelcometoReality the "actual disorder" doesn't exist all part of life also, to anyone reading this who hasn't had any psych experience, never share spirituality stuff with them. you will immediately be declared delusional and/or schizo. also, never willfully hospitalise yourself unless you're suicidal and there is no other option left. you will regret it because of the forced medication and inhumane treatment. on the other hand, it might just be what you need (and you might meet the love of your life there ) I'm sorry for what you went through @Eternal Unity. My trust was broken enough before having my first psychosis and mystical experience that I didn't open up to anyone so I wasn't "treated" as much. @Windappreciator Work on your ignorance. Have you been in a psych ward?

The entire premise of TRP gender dynamics is that females capitalise on their attraction in their youth and then settle down when older and their attraction capital is waning - which is what makes a lot of men feel cucked when they contemplate this.

Cheating means breaking the boundaries of your intimate partner. You cheat on the relationship if you agreed to a certain loyalty - in this case, sexual fidelity. Cheating usually implies hiding or lying about the fact that you're doing it.

Okay, let me know how you feel when your future gf gets ravaged by a couple of guys cause it "just happened" and "she loves you but the urge was too strong"

July 2021 - what do I need to know about July and focus on during this month, etc? I do these spreads at the start of a month by myself, but since you offered and it's a Thoth deck I'd be very glad if you opened them for me

Cohabitating in an "open relationship"? Whoops. What have you done heh. Good thing you can actually walk away though. Next time try not to put yourself in a situation where you need to assert your boundaries overtly. and whatever you do, don't issue ultimatums. powerless move. Best of luck in your love life!

No sex in the first 90 days of reboot is usually advised because it's easy to slip back to fapping and watching porn after having sex (eg chaser effect). I don't think it matters - if you set your mind to quit then it will happen eventually.

I'm trying to get into yoga. If you have more beautiful videos like this which are at the same time instructive, please share.

well this specific thing kind of comes full-circle

Quality post, thanks. What do you think about posting this on /r/TheRedPill and seeing what happens? About hypergamy : I still hold the belief that hypergamy is innate to the female gender, and not just a contextual mating strategy. I haven't deeply contemplated the differences between men and women, but I strongly feel that first of all, there are differences. Masculinity and femininity is an age-old duality, with even some factorial analyses of language regarding individual differences have masculinity/femininity as an emerging factor. In our own experience we can find numerous ways in which men and women differ. Why isn't it possible that a certain sex has an innate mating strategy? Let's question this deeply - I also hold some limiting beliefs (or maybe they aren't) regarding this (eg that a woman cannot love the same way a man can (while men look for motherly love, hence misogyny and resentment)) The point of your post is weakened by the fact that your first arguments about TRP aren't disproving the concepts - just pointing out that they are relative. TRP is full of absurdities and to me it seems that the concept of hypergamy is actually one of the kernels of the theory. The Rational Male can be thrown in the bin solely because of the fact that it is 100% reliant on Evo-Psych while at the same time being unscientific. But the pick-up community, from which TRP arose, along with all its wisdom, is indispensable.

I'm gonna need your help on here. I've searched through the forums and haven't found any resources for this question. I don't have that much knowledge pertaining to business, marketing etc. I would love to start a discussion on said topic or even brainstorm with you what a Green business really means and entails. If you have any resources to share, please do. I want to start a business that is visionary, that is benefitting society, pushing it towards greater consciousness and promoting my deepest values. I consider myself at least 75% into Stage Green. I have some interesting insights on this topic, since I've been brainstorming on this for the past few days : Green people will actually give you so much more support if you stand for a cause they believe in (their identities are so much more intertwined with some ideals and their egos still strong which give them way more emotional energy to support causes) in turn making the "business" (at this point the term is misleading) flourish way easier than an Orange one. that's one nugget, I got some more, lets get the discussion rolling. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts, and please share some resources (videos, books) about this because I'm practically clueless.

@Yarco Thanks for the great insights. My emerging green friend recently turned vegan so I'm catching up on the lingo and soaking in the culture. I guess I could "pander" to Greens as a way of bootstrapping the business, but the goal form of the business would be to turn into a brand-cause. In the meantime, it would make the Green clients aware of their Green patterns. I wouldn't consider this pandering as a way of exploitation, change my mind if you think it is, since my business would actually fight for some of the above-mentioned causes. I have no motives in exploiting people for personal profit, even though I haven't achieved financial independence. Profit would either go into realising my vision or into charity. I'm not going to market up prices. 5-10% would go off from the original price. I have come to the conclusion that business shouldn't even be profit-based, and that counter-intuitively it will profit because of that. If you contribute, naturally people will want to contribute to you as well.

No, but this one and I had a more intense connection, which is probably why I started expressing in that way. I wouldn't ever really even feel compelled to do it with someone I don't have a connection with. This one felt intense though. Also pretty man-to-woman. I really don't know what to think about that behavior.

Hey, mentioning the manhood stuff, I have a question. My previous relationship made me "pretend" to be shy a lot, not only as a habit, but more as kind of a character trait even. eg. Yesterday I was talking to some girl I just met and everything's going great and at one point in the convo I was implying some future interaction and she responded to that with "Oh, so you would like to (this part is hard to translate, but the most important part of the meaning is the seeing each other often part) associate with me?" which, given the whole context, makes it kind of an intimate question, she didn't even phrase it in a shit test kind of way, she was just genuinely curious imo. My reply to that was me looking away in a playful manner, pretending to be shy and struck denying my intentions, in a very feminine kind of way. Would that be considered a break of my masculine frame? Because I didn't break the act and just say "Yes." afterward, which I reckon would balance it out perfectly, or even any of the usual responses to a shit-test. I'm just kind of more like this because my ex acted like this a lot and I picked it up completely from her. I just wonder whether it's off-putting in retrospect. Does it devalue you, or make you out to be perceived as more childish, etc. I have plenty of masculinity to back it up though, but I also gravitate towards the androgyne playfulness.

@aurum why not both

@Seemore Sounds like mania and psychosis. All good and all part of the path and the human experience as well. No worries Please be easy on yourself. I wish you the absolute best. Don't strain your body too much, get good sleep, eat well. Consider that you're manic or psychotic and if you think it's true, remind yourself of it so you can ride it better. Both go away by themselves, but if you forget that you're in a different state than u usually are u might do something stupid, happened to me almost every time. You need a retreat-ish kind of situation. A couple of days to just chill and do nothing. Don't forget that break-ups are rough mentally. Also living like you do in such a state can be fucked. I'm writing this cause I just want you to ride these states the best way possible. You maintained your coherence in this post even though it's a big chunk of text so I don't worry about you. Lots of love, please send me a PM whenever.

I deduce that the aim of your meditation is to raise your consciousness overall. Vision and hearing are two huge parts of experience - having earplugs and keeping your eyes closed is practicing under different and "easier" circumstances. No wonder you can't maintain awareness post-meditation relative to formal sitting.

@Nomad13 fear of death. as others said, literally no reason not to be a donor. look into that selfishness and work with it.

It's way better when life punches you in the face and propels you into something better imagine no punches.

@Hello from Russia hehe best sex is the one that doesn't end i do have wet dreams from time to time

21. PM me whenever. I feel qualified for that - 2019-2020 I had an over 1 year streak of semen retention and nofap while also having frequent sex.

You sound younger. Are you good with girls? The whole point of the NoFap movement is to propel people who are stuck and sapped, basement dwellers and the complete opposite, inspire a change in their lives. The pinnacle of nofapping is the 90 day hardmode reboot, which usually ends up in finding a girlfriend and having sex. I think you should aim for the same goal. Set a 90 day milestone, do some hardcore personal development, then hit the market Don't repress the energy. Also, being attached to something is completely human, and trying not to be attached is even more neurotic. Awareness alone is curative. Best of luck. You sound like you have an amazing life in front of yourself
