Yes I would say there definitely are pros and cons to it. I’m married now but I in the past I prioritized introvert living and focusing on things other than relationships. I think the cliche word of “balance” is important here.

I’ve been to many countries and done some off the path traveling, spending weeks riding buses up the coast. Also been to some pretty damn touristic cities and places. I’ve found you kinda need a balance between both because some places that get zero tourists are boring and get nothing for a reason. There’s not much to do there and the nature is not as astounding as some better known places. What I try to do is research a bit before and feel it out. I make sure it’s a place actually worth going to. I’m in Russia now and honestly there’s a lot of cities and places here that are kinda boring… they have maybe like one statue or one thing worth seeing there but a lot of time and money to get there. I’m trying to get the best bang for my buck between fun/adventure/nature/etc but all the places that are amazing all around will have some degree of tourism. I heard Thailand has a ton of amazing stuff and gets a lot of tourists but it’s still possible to avoid the crowds and annoying people if you do some research, avoid gringo hostels and resorts.

Not just for that but the wider perspective on traveling, relating, people, culture and the world. It can really help expand consciousness and women are just one nice aspect of it. If you believe relating to women and traveling can widen your perspective on life, grow you and raise consciousness then I would highly suggest it. Women are just one of the many pieces of the whole that make it worthwhile.

Yes that can work. I do agree niching is important, authenticity as well. Sometimes it’s better to catch a few where it will likely work out than having a bigger reach and interest but more girls to sift through. I think where you are located plays a big role too. Some cities don’t have intellectuals. For example, what your niche is would be more of a struggle to build in a city like Rio de Janeiro where they have poor education and don’t value these things, but you would easily get 100 matches in a weekend in a European city. Leo’s perspective is largely Vegas… I visited Vegas and to be honest it has a more Dubai Miami vibe to it and a more mainstream Hollywood athletic look is what’s in vogue there. @Leo Gura you got to travel more bro. Leave the country, go digital nomad for a years. You got the money and literally the perfect job for it but you stay in Vegas... There are different girls in Europe and Asia and no it’s not the same girls that go as tourists to Vegas. I honestly couldn’t imagine building a dating life in Vegas being rewarding after so many years. Go out and see the world. It will def give you a different perspective on women and you will get a lot of matches in different cities.

Those “upfront costs” for photos is pretty damn big though keep in mind. It’s a glow up, getting into shape, getting money and living a genuinely interesting lifestyle. A normie selling car insurance and with a stable job with average looks and high quality studio photos will still get subpar results. You have to be truly stunning in some way to stand out online.

You gotta have the most perfect photos for online dating to really work, overcome the volume issue and get plenty of matches. Not just photo quality or technically sound photos which are now easier than ever to get due to iPhones, but actually look the part. Not like a normie. Amazing fashion. Not overweight. You have to turn heads in your photos. Work on your body and lifestyle. If you’re a bit chubby you can hide in much better in colder countries and it’s less of an issue. Any place where a beach or summer weather is a big part of the lifestyle of the city it’s important to get into shape. And in addition to all this they make men pay. So even if you have a free account and excellent photos and look incredible, jacked. Like you could be an influencer or something… you’re still going to not match with all the top girls as much as you need to in order to have the volume to get a substantial amount of dates. You will be paying for boosts and gold and whatnot.

Fair enough, but I wanted to bury those numbers. It's like if I bragged about holding the world record for picking up the most trash off the ground and putting it in my mouth. This guy's claimed number needs to be perceived the same way, but his subs probably think he's banging models. It's not a feat nor does the effort deserve respect. It's weird. and you know he did some creepy and shadey shit to supposedly get there if he even had the amount of energy and drive to and one can only imagine the smell. I even read about this guy and literally half his colleagues say he hired a bunch of escorts too and is an alcoholic. In reality, guys actually building a decent lifestyle and getting beautiful women do not pull close to those numbers, not even a percentage. I live in Russia and am married now and dated quite a few women here before, got very well accustomed to beautiful women, I know the numbers here. You do not pull 4-5 beauties consistently a month anywhere as a healthy normie, at least not consistently. It's unsustainable.

I mean you are basically talking about a sex addict? And I have met 1-2 guys like that in eastern Europe who had some cash and were able to build their life around PUA and no they did not regularly pull beautiful women. Most beautiful quality women can instantly smell out weirdos or anything defective about a person. These guys pulled but many of their pulls were of questionable standards. Rapey men. They were dipping into MILFS, alternative looking girls, drug users, talking to underage girls, etc. You have to realize that reality does not reward that belief system. You do not get quality sex and quality partners by having a shitty belief system. Your post is misleading. Any quality guy would pass on most of the women those guys pull.

The normie who pulls the most is that guy who is in decent physical shape (looks good with his shirt off), extroverted, has something going on in his life and is just chill and sweet and goes to tons of raves or parties and has a sorta extrovert surfer lifestyle. Pussy whisperer. Those guys get laid, and it's really they just ride one wave (one beautiful woman at a time) and always are able to call their ex up or have some situation ship they bounce from one to the other every 3-6 months, and the girl they will be banging will be HOT. There aren't a bunch of former incels running around pounding 4-5 hot women a week, it doesn't exist. This is an old as hell fantasy sold to you by RSD for 2010. Doesn't exist for most guys doing well with women because it energetically isn't sustainable. The only guys who have like women lining up to fuck are celebrities or like local celebrities, really really exceptionally rare guys and it's not game getting them laid.

Dude it is not... you honestly sound a bit delusional. I've was in the field a long time and I've spent a ton of time around guys associated with pick up who were "top of their game" and after with tons of guys who don't even participate in this corny cope of a pastime and don't even know what pick up is but are normal socially acclimated guys who pull on their own without talking to guys on the internet... many guys I met including millionaires, business owners , etc. Been out with all of them. Most guys including coaches are lucky to pull at most a couple times a month and the lifestyle ends up catching up to them. No normie is going to have 4-5 beautiful women interested in sleeping in him per month. You should consider yourself S-tier if you always have a beautiful friend with benefits or ex girlfriend to call up, nut no you aint pulling 5 baddies a month as a normie. You have drank the PUA coolaid. And even if you do pull someone beautiful you're going to maximize your time with that person since this is how life funnels you into putting effort and energy into what you have invested in. The only guys who are basically fucking beautiful women like they have them on tap are guys who are exceptionally rich, handsom eand extroverted. You know that porn guy Jason Luv? A guy like that. Even if you're a normie and a cool guy and got a decent lifestyle you wont come close to 10% of what he gets. I would say a realistic and achievable goal for a normie with a decent career is to always have access to a beuatiful woman for sex and not have to face a dryspell.

99.9% of guys in PUA including coaches don't have close to even 100 with women of a nice appearance (they are on the right end of the bellcurve if they even have 25-50+). That is extrovert local celebrity numbers, athletes, guys who own a nightclub, etc. Not PUA and def not the majority of scamming coaches.

I think you basically answered your own question. I think people will believe all sorts of stuff but not stop to question why they do it. The word evil is tricky to use. On one hand I very much want to call some people evil, simultaneously I know taking this perspective ultimately limits my perspective. I am comfortable using this word to make judgments of peoples' actions. I believe people choose what they choose to do with the info and perspective they have at the time and that life is a learning process. Many people come from different backgrounds, many different situations you or I wouldn't fully understand since we may come from places entirely different. I think recognizing this isn't a flaw but just reality. That idea that there are evil humans and them some ideal or perfect world the way reality should be isn't ultimately helpful for living life. There are people who will make decisions we can see as cruel and are authentic for us to label as things we do not wish to have in our lives and community and world. Does that change reality? Maybe not always, we can't control everything and everyone. We can make peace with reality though and accept it for what it is, we can drop judgements, we can BE what we believe is right and true, live it.

Trump really lacks foresight. He really is the quintessential lessons for Americans that a complete moron can be president if he can gather enough sheep bellow him with fear. You would think if he was rational he would have stayed out of the spotlight but it’s quite clear he doesn’t work like that. He ran on releasing the Epstein files then does a 180… it’s insane what he’s been able to get away with.

He's so useless

He’s just so wildly delusional and out of touch. He said those weird human robots he builds will somehow end poverty (paraphrasing). Bro it’s the economic systems and rules you live by which is the problem 😭 He really thinks he’s this like chosen tech messiah that will lead humanity into some tech utopia… I have no doubt his ketamine trips are fueling these beliefs.
