If game is being used on me, why wouldn't I know what it is. I don't understand your second sentence. After a certain age, men cannot just rely on game to get women as much, not as much as when he was much younger. Even if you still have game after 50+ you will need more than that.

What do you mean by this

That's right, and if she gets mad, in this case, then that's a psychologically imbalanced woman because getting mad at a man for complying with your wishes, whether you meant the "no/stop" or not, went from a fantasy to a whole other level. So, it's always best to stop whether it's a soft or hard no and wait for her gestures to continue, which should come lovingly if she really wants you. In the past, I've had guys ask me if I wanted them to stop without me even saying I wanted them to because that's just the type of guys they were. They sensed I had issues with intercourse where my shit wouldn't accept them easily and would tense up, but I wanted them to and they continued with caution until I finally relaxed enough for penetration. Having no kids, that shit is tight and contracts back to homeostasis (lol) after a while of not having sex. Was that too much info. I get lost in translation sometimes.

What's a hard no vs a soft no. NO! STOP! and no, please stop.... Is there a hard yes vs a soft yes.

Why does he have to push forward if he's not ready. Seems like it's an obligation for men to be always be ready even if they would rather wait. I'm only saying this because you said "faster than you".

It depends in how you feel. Do you think you have exhausted the pick-up scene. Are you ready now to settle down. If you are, I suggest making space energetically for that. Meaning, don't think about having multiple women, don't meet women with the intention of just sleeping with her with hopes of starting a relationship. Either leaving that option open to start with, without sexual intent initially or going out with the intention in mind of finding a serious partner. Intention is the key, but not necessary to initially talk to women. Don't limit it to special places because you might be blocking a potential long-term partner because of your biases to where you might meet her. It can happen anywhere, even though specific places of common interests may be a plus. Open your heart and leave the past behind and start anew and try not to use the past to determine the future if you're trying to change the person you once were and trying to become a new one. While you are out doing normal day-to day activities is best to keep an eye out, instead of going out specifically to try to find a long-term partner. Talk to women and don't rule any out unless you are breaking specific boundaries you have set for yourself. These are just my suggestions.

Me too. I have a watch later list, an important watch list, a watch now list, a watch occasionally list, all types of lists I never watch because there are always other present things to watch. I need to have a 'watch my to watches list". Lol

@Scholarthank you for that detailed explanation. It is what is needed to clear up a lot of confusion. If we can begin to understand this and see it for what it is, suffering would cease to exist, apparently.

It's a figure of speech. You know when you say, "stop the madness" at a joke or say "get out", in response to someone's shocking statement. I didn't mean it literally; that's why I put the "lol" to make you realize I wasn't being literal, just an expression.

Lol. You need to stop. Not my type, though, but his teachings are.

I understand this. We can't just go around telling people with severe mental issues that it's all in their head. They would need some serious CONSCIOUS counseling for this; but also, as a person on the Spiritual path, it can be very useful in our own lives to try to understand and embody some of these metaphysical teachings and to recognize that we sometimes don't have to go around advising or telling people about these teachings as such, because embodying the teachings has it's own effect Universally. Our internal change can affect the people around us and theirs the people around them and can cause a chain reaction, and then maybe resulting in the decline of mental instability or having other significant effects. All that is required, sometimes to impact many, is one person to make the switch. So I find it very important to me to try and understand the implications of what these teachings represent or the underlying message or the direction it is steering me towards to reduce the amount of self-deception the mind is so capable of.

I just love it when the greats debate.

You are separating the material/physical from the metaphysical/unseen, when one is dependent on the other. Matter comes from mind. Materialistically speaking, sure it APPEARS and seems as if we're in control and metaphysically speaking is where all the appearances are appearing from. Using the body to take action and for movement to occur also requires bodily organs which are cognitively used such as the hands and feet which are being controlled by the brain which demonstrates the interconnectedness between the manual and the mental. So there's no escaping the unity of it all. So in order to come to any analysis we would have to break it all down, and in this case realize the connection of it all, that one thing depends on another, and it can be broken down all the way where every distinction collapses.

I can tell you have a high level of EQ and a natural way of using your discerning skills. Knowledge isn't power. Discernment of knowledge is more powerful and that's what lacking here. Just an observation and I can also observe it within myself at times and realized it after the fact so this is not to say I'm immune. Some of these men don't understand what it means to lead, what is a healthy masculine trait versus insecurity and egotism and the differences between the genders when it comes to dating and that it's not about being aggressive as a man and submissive or docile as a woman for the masculine/feminine polarity to work.

Sadly, these teachings can be so misinterpreted, misused, convenient when needed to display sarcasm, used as a weapon and turn into a Religion where we just pick the pieces out that serves our agenda and discard the rest without trying to understand the bigger picture. By your statement about prison being imaginary, then this Forum is too, so who are you talking to and why are you here. These are rhetorical questions that doesn't need to be answered because I'm just trying to make a point.

?It's all connected.

If you take a body building woman and a man weighing 100lbs who is flimsy and weak, who do you think will overpower who. Always is not the case in this respect.

Words of affirmations are making you vibrate on a certain frequency which then attracts certain thoughts to you. You are not consciously thinking those thoughts, you don't know what your next thought will be, thoughts are just arising. You are attracting thoughts and depending on your awareness level and state of consciousness those thoughts will follow a pattern. The body is being led by the mind. I dare you do something without thought first and I dare you to know your next thought. Your organs are being controlled by the subconscious mind. You cannot beat your own heart nor are you making yourself pee. It's all just happening. Our true nature is Awareness anyway, so we're just aware of what's happening. The Ego mind likes to think it's in control but it's not and can never be because it's all stories and illusory.

Sometimes we disagree, but I can say, to me, you're making a lot of sense here on this thread.

The discernment of the information given in the latter part of this thread is so off. The context of how certain words are being interpreted, IMO, is what's causing a lot of this conflict. There's a difference between directly challenging someone and someone being perceived as a challenge. If a very feminine woman was being admired by a man and he was interested in getting to know her but it wasn't easy to either get her number, wasn't easy to get her in bed, wasn't easy for her to open up her intimate life details to him, I mean there are so many ways this "non bossy" feminine, non-confrontational woman could be a challenge. That's what the use of the word challenge meant in this context. Also, when it was noted that a strong masculine man attracting a strong feminine woman and "conflict" may arise, it wasn't being suggested that fights and arguments would occur. In this sense it meant for example, it could probably be a conflict of interest if both parties had different beliefs about how a family should be raised, maybe attachment styles, different love languages, conflicting ways in the dynamics of the relationship as opposed to maybe a less masculine nan with a less feminine woman and this is just an example being used for contextual purposes. I mean, I could keep going on about the ways in which the opposing sides were being misunderstood. @Sinceritywas giving some very valid points and was just being misunderstood because the words used were taken differently from how it was meant. And even in the cases where it wasn't, the answers weren't coming from a place of understanding but from a place of defense and barriers.

That's not necessarily the case. It depends on what YT sees you're interested in. The type of content. I get a lot of "long" video recommendations which are in the same category of my watched ones and these videos are from popular channels and known Influencers like Kurt Jaimungal from Theories of Everything, Lewis howes, Tom Bilyeu and Lisa Bilyeu, The Next Level Soul Podcast, Jay Shetty Podcast, amongst others. These have millions of views and subscribers. These kinds of content are not for "fly-by-the-night" kind of watchers and Leo's content isn't, even though his channel is of a different "breed" and more advanced when it comes to metaphysical stuff. Youtube will still recommend his channel to the right or suitable people. The algorithm isn't just picking out shorter content, it is suited to your individual preference and taste and lots of people are getting into this field more and more.

You're speaking about Oil Pulling (I believe, as I don't know), but Oil Pulling is when you put some kind of oil as in Coconut, Olive or Sesame can also be used, but Coconut is highly suggested, in your mouth and swoosh it around for 5-20minutes then spit out. I've done it with coconut oil, and I do see the difference. But I still brush my teeth afterwards as it's not a substitute for brushing. Please don't brush your teeth for 20 minutes at a time every day as this amount of time will surely erode your enamel quickly and is way too aggressive on the teeth. 2 minutes or so is enough. Coconut Oil can whiten teeth, yes, so does, turmeric, basil, strawberries and the use of baking soda sparingly, amongst other things found in nature, but you don't want to use baking soda everyday as it is very abrasive.

I see you're playing it safe like I am. Don't want to mislead anyone as I'm still learning as I go. Somethings I have direct experience in, some intuitive knowing, some intellectual, some from videos, some audio books, some I put the pieces together, some channeling, some automatic writing, some guessing, some from higher Self, some Ego, some from the ocean, some the sea, the birds, but one thing I do know for sure is that I'm breathing. Put all that together that's enough to know that I AM THAT I AM.

You're not controlling the body, the mind is, and you're not even controlling the mind. Thoughts are just happening. So, I guess that just means you have no control. You're a puppet. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
