"what do you guys think how the female brain works on this one?" She may be immature She may be insecure She may have very deep feelings for you and is afraid to "mess it up" She may have been cheating on her partner etc. WAY too many unknown variables (her age, her personality, the emotional setting how you met, etc.); TL;DR - You are looking too much into (consequently, should raise your development/quality of problems you worry about) && "Keep Moving Forward" ~ Meet The Robinsons

*perhaps include more substance to the post?? other wise baiting a poll-like thread lol* Yes......but to add more content.... - The "approach" can vary substantially but almost always implicit (she throws an alley-oop, all you have to do is dunk it) but Sometimes explicit (i.e. 2 days ago in the gym, I had a girl come and straight ask me if I was single/for my number). Masculine (energy)- Wants to Approach Feminine (energy)- Wants to be Approached Guys that want women to approach them are more aligned with femininity

If your looks check out (to any decent degree) AND you haven't gotten ANYTHING in 100 attempts, (as I just said in another post), reflect into your: "Status", Charisma, "Offerings" (of experiences/emotions). Everyone has different results but (imo) to go 0 for 100 means you must be doing something VERY wrong or completely uncalibrated for your environment

"My count" is in the double-digits and I've never had been "rejected" (or maybe I only shoot shots that would go in?....meh) Point is OP: Seems like you are slipping into a "beta/incel"-like mindset; imo, if you are being rejected consecutively with no sign of interest, you are doing something very wrong/your being is still missing something. This is extremely hard to diagnose through text on a forum but I would immediately recommend for you to reflect on: Your STATE (during your interactions), Your Charisma/Leadership (what are you offering to her and how is your delivery), and your physical appearance (obvious) Good luck bud

*basks in validation of my pet theories* >:D jk (kinda, mostly) Wish the best for you

I see. Ima philosophize & extrapolate this in my free time. Hm, "The Game". Person A: "I am valuable!" Person B: "Why?" Person A: "Because I said I am!" Person C: "Of course you are girl! Can I please take you out?! :D" Person B: .....strange.

I actually thought something similar last night (and even shed tears over it) "Death". It is "extremely normal" (pretty much expected) to cry over the loss of a close one. Right? Yes, the inverse is the case for strangers; Example case: Every single person ("stranger", acquaintance , etc.) that you met and will NEVER see again...may as well be dead to you.

"he's a bitch waiting to be fucked" LOL (but seriously, +1 to much of what you said) I picked that up INSTANTLY after clicking to a random timestamp . "The type of guy to hold his face after getting slapped" vibes

"And then to eliminate men from her consideration that don't recognize her as the prize." I have an idea of why this position is held....but for clarity and out of curiosity, can you elaborate your belief system/explanation/narrative of: "she is already the prize" ?

Biracial, black/white male mid 20s living in the SouthEast US at height 5'11 and dic.......I'll stop there

Uh, I could attest that perhaps a certain demographic of women are more sensitive to their age (specifically mid to late 20s? Understandable within the context of: Dating/Marriage, Fertility, and the taboo notion that their "sex market value blah blah" will decrease) but seem to "burst" out of that years down the road into a newfound sense of confidence/perspective/maturity Otherwise, at first glance, this video/channel looks like another "one of those" (manosphere, redpill, idealogical shallow bullshit rabbit holes that becomes VERY reinforcing and self-justifying......be careful "You find the results you are looking for")

These super broad questions are always icky to answer in a 1-directional sense but here goes:...... I don't know what horsesh*t some people in this thread on here might say but (What I would put forth) Top Qualities that would most likely "make him want to "stay" with you" (I would like to believe that I know what the f*** I am talking about): Beauty/Attractiveness/Sex Appeal/Aesthetics - Tho this is blatant, I'd like to highlight the paths of beauty outside of societal norms and appreciate the subjectivity of it. Also not just to your physical appearance but exert it all around you (i.e. Home design) Nuturing/Supportive energy (Ride or fu**ing die) Loyalty (again, emphasizing the "ride or die" theme) *cough* "Keep his balls empty" (seriously though lol) "Serve" HIM (this is where conventions such as cooking & cleaning come around, but especially the more nuanced and subtle things, some examples may be: playing with his hair as he's driving & moving his hand onto your thigh, marveling at him while he is working..or if he is just BEING) "Be the Trinity to his Neo" Bring the God out of him. Use your feminine discernment to keep him on his feet and always growing. Maintain your composure and know your self-worth. (Presuming your anything close to these pointers, it would be "his loss";' a good man can INSTANTLY determine a good woman I could keep going but a "Wife" will look for a husband and a Husband will look for a wife

"The biggest mistake an artist can make is paying attention to the audience" Artists - Does it for themself...for its own sake Business - Does it FOR "other", performance-based etc. As for your question ("should I try to make something else out of it, some kind of business, of even try and learn something else that could bea more relevant business? Is it necessary to life to feel fullfilled?")......as the (theoretical) business owner, its YOUR job to SELL US the WHY....not the other way around. So, NO, it is not "too late" for you. The question is: What are you going to do about it?

Furthermore: You are always teaching yourself, and you are always talking to yourself, you are always [*insert verb* ] to/with your yourself.

Bro, Leo literally made a f**king 3 and a half hour video SPECIFICALLY on Andrew Tate & corresponding philosophy

May the young guys understand this rather than have a brick wall fall on top of them

Bro, you are 19.......lol. "Chasing a date" at that age is...diminishing imo. You would be FAR better off "getting your shit together" (physique, sense of purpose/direction for your life, financial stability, etc.) than "chasing some kitty". I slept with multiple woman at 19 (all either explicitly/implicitly) escalated to dating and I never once "asked them out"; I was "doing me" and the shit just happened. TL;DR - Focus on yourself.

Observed: Social Anxiety & Overthinking. You should work on your inner dialogue man (how to talk to yourself); Wayyyy too nervous and logical about certain shit, for instance, no one gives a F**K about a petty 3 year age gap (25 vs 28) LMFAO. It's all about your ENERGY, your STATE. Have fun, be entertaining, "make someone's day", engage/initiate something with the girls who claim are smiling at you (even a f**king "WHATS UP!?! " would go a long way). But Kudos for creating this "log/journal"

though the topic is just about porn, I'd going to relevantly tie it with Sex/PMO with this: Begs an interesting (and unanswered) question: "Why should anyone bother?" (referring to the instant, free, and unlimited "access" that porn offers). In a binary forced response: I would say technically Porn IS unhealthy (within the context of Human Survival) because of its "zero-sum" like effects (example/analogy: Dessert, in isolation or moderation, its "not that bad", but if moved to a primary position, its clearly toxic and UNHEALTHY) Porn "replaces" procreation similar to how Junk food "replaces" Nutrition.

Book: https://a.co/d/8CvaLOD Post: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/the-cents-business-commandments-for-entrepreneurs.81090/ Podcast/Video: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/the-cents-business-commandments-for-entrepreneurs.81090/ That is literally millions of dollars "worth of game", take the wisdom and apply it. Its that simple, have fun

Immediate thoughts/Intuition: Dude is "still in Stage Orange" and is now transitioning to (what I would consider) toxic behaviors such as "courses"/masterminds/[other online guru shit] since he sold his MLM company and is now bored with that money and is "hungry for more". Typical quality (that I have noticed) is that these "gurus" will sometimes leverage their existing known business history (for Bet David it would be his MLM scheme....I mean business, for Iman G it would be his SMM agency, Grant CArdone & Real Estate, etc.) as "trust" then use these courses to multiple their existing wealth; almost a "pump & dump". Will you get "some value" from the course? Almost completely guaranteed? Then what's the catch??....You're almost certainly overpaying for the "value". TL;DR: Almost certainly not worth it, likely typical conventional wisdom/advice that you could find in a $10-$20 book but he is charging 500x as much for because he CAN (because of his personal branding/fanbase). Donate your money if you want lol Edit 1: Useful insight/wisdom, you should be particularly cautious of any individual who has made "a ton of money" (millions & millions of dollars, +8 to 9 figures) yes is still "chasing MONEY" (rather than developing an explicit product/service that for Good/The Collective) via "selling a COURSE"; 100% of instances that I have observed like this has always been some sort of: pyramid scheme/cash grab/pump & dump/etc. These Egos don't give a F**K about YOUR "success"/wellbeing or finances lol

"Because it feels good"

Reality has no problems other than the ones you create, good day.
