I def like ur conclusion if ur already seen as an attractive guy, then it will only help you. If ur trying to compensate then it wont work. Most girls expect it so i feel like if you dont pay it hurts you For me, I hate the idea of it, like im expected to because im a "man". The whole gender role thing is a turn off I end up paying for it because i feel like i dont have a choice (it literally pisses them off if i dont ☠️). But ive also found girls that are chill and do not care if i dont pay. So yeah def i try to focus on finding the latter I dated a girl once where i legitimately forgot my credit card and she paid for it "happily", and we went on several more dates. Another time i forgot my wallet in the car and she snarkily was like "dont worry ill pay for it" but her tone was like yeah we are not seeing each other after this.

yeah trump is burning its relations with the rest of the world. temu hitler as they call it

@oldhandle trump recently said in response to the files to persecute bill clinton and not him recently lol

Is this the end of rome

I always found it very degenerate growing up. Had this gut feeling that it was very weird. Always stayed away from it personally. Glad i did

okay but let me challenge you with this. how much of sweden's issues are actually due to mass migration and how much of the problems are a scapegoat on migrants? i wonder precisely that breakdown because i tend to notice that there is a lot of scapegoating, misdirected outrage and lots of misinformation that goes around

@Never_give_up yeah i would say a lot of aspects of it are fun. Esp when i get into flow during the workout. Lots of pain but "who cares thats the point" i think

When i lift heavy i love the pain. It means im growing and getting better. Theres a positive association with it in my mind and i actually crave the progressive overload. Sort of like this lmao

I found theres a specific strong bodily feeling for my intuition that I notice in my gut and body. Overtime ive needed to learn to differentiate that from fear

Bro not conservative. successful people lol. Conservative or not

no advice but i relate in a lot of ways sometimes suffering really makes us crave success and power. as much as we dont want to admit

pro tip: you can upload a normal pic of you and have it create a professional photo for linkedin. i got a pretty good one. gg professional photographers

Thats tough. Maybe you can search for books and material of successful heroin recoveries and share that info with them. And also provide them options for recovery like centers/therapy etc. Ultimately they need to go through the therapy themselves but providing the infrastructure in a low resistance way can help them go through it Theres prob also books on how to help someone with heroin addiction that u can pull insight from

You'd be surprised. I've had some conversations where I helped move the needle with some people. Usually their ideology is really baked and there is like 50 philosophies that their ideology is based on but you can probably help with a couple here or there

. dr k has a lot of good wisdom though i've learned a lot. prob just take what you like and discard what you dont imo.

It's both imo, you go for the mass appeal (in my perspective (money+looks+game) because most girls like this. And then you niche down with your own unique flair and pick the girls that you like If you don't got the former you can barely even do the latter

I agree. But in my experience human connection alone doesnt get you far. You will get a near 0 connections on dating apps (💀) and girls won't look at you It's almost impossible just to rely on human connection alone. I think red pill has a lot of truth as well, maxing that stuff really does give you way more opportunity

There is a lot of truth to that. Human connection can transcend a lot of those preconceived notions that we have

at the very least this does poke a hole in the "preferences" argument? certain guys get extraordinary results on dating apps

@Emerald how come in dating apps, the men you describe only see tumbleweed

Well in terms of confidence, assertiveness, ambition. I found a lot of these traits can be quite learnable ime, no? Or did u mean smth else

@r0ckyreed where did you come from? Was it a rural or suburb area? I think that when you jump areas your algorithm refreshes temporarily and it shows up on people's feeds more often

So the 5'4 skinny no clout minimum wage softbois are the real alphas. Damn what am I doing i think the pov of a conventionally unmasculine guy is missing here. A lot of guys go into that stuff bc they dont get girls. Now ppl are saying that is enough to get girls

College courses have a lot of strong eye opening fundamentals

@zazen it definitely could be partially merit based versus being race based. But for some studies like for guaging differences in callback rates with similar variables (like same resume, same companies, similar application timing with only the name changed), it seems pretty clear (like the previous study i linked) Another one like this: "The ethnic name groups were less likely to receive follow up questions or invitations to meet as compared to the white name group." https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/104583246 Knowledge is "woke" lol.
