    Maybe that is why sprinters are so jacked? :P

    I'm not sedentary btw 😆

    Elite sprinters quite often squat 500-600lb. That takes an enormous amount of hard work under the squat rack. Usually they train with front squats or similar variations. Idk if they do SSB SQ’s but those are kind of similar to front squats but with way less (but still quite a lot of) technique involved.

    And btw that’s actually way more beside the point because sprinters train like 10 hours a week minimum and get jacked as a mere almost insignificant (in relation to the work that went into their competitive sprinting goals) side effect of that (not just that but a lot of other work), but that side effect would not be available to anyone who isn’t literally a competitive sprinter themselves — the time it would take would be absolutely preposterous.

    I mean some people do train like gymnasts because they want big biceps like gymnasts. It’s also dumb though since they could just directly expose the biceps to intensity+volume+frequency (the only reason the gymnasts are getting bigger biceps in the first place, albeit 100% coincidentally) and get results 20x faster.

    In other words, imagine how much sprinting one would have to do to get jacked. It’s about the same amount a competitive sprinter does, in addition to all their other work. So if you want to get jacked (which would signal the body to produce more testosterone), do it, but sprinting would clearly be an incredibly time-inefficient method for that.

    @The0Self Ok, now let's say I also want to optimize testosterone levels. Does that lean more in favor of incline treadmill walking or sprints?

    Neither would affect it much, but either would help if you’re sedentary. So I myself (if I were anywhere near sedentary) would not choose sprints, since the other option is far lower impact. Testosterone is very hard to significantly increase without resistance training of the sort that involves increased muscle mass over time (i.e. damn hard work) as the body responds with that to avoid future injury, as that’s when testosterone is actually, to the body, signaled as “needed.”

    Try calling her.

    Little unorthodox, but it’s been known to work ime. Generally, non-in-person communication should serve one and only one purpose though — setting a meetup.

    What works better is usually simply texting, but IF you’ve gone more than 2 days without any text (or otherwise) contact, calling is actually a good option, if not the best option.

    Good job for mentioning that Yimpa.

    I usually have fun on my dates. When I go home, on the other hand, and just know that no matter how good i think it all went (with a lot of laughter, kissing etc.) she most likely doesn't want to see me again and definitely not sleep with me. That's hell. Out of all the 60-70 girls I've gone out with, I've only slept with one who I didn't sleep with on the first date. In my experience it's absolutely not worth asking for a second date if nothing sexual happens on the first.

    Respectfully, you don’t have the experience to make that judgement call. Tons of girls have a 3 date rule and unless you’re very smooth and in the flow you might not get them horny enough to break it. Once you’re confident that you already got the girl it can be better than half of girls closing on first date even if you’re average and not that experienced. Closer to 80% when you’re very experienced. Even if you’re perfect, at least 1-2 out of 10 girls will not agree to sex on first date.

    It's mainly because I don't want to play.
    Btw, seeing a girl who was into me walking away or avoiding me because she found someone else makes me want to vomit, even if it's my fault (my will?). I don't know exactly why at the moment.

     

    I don't want a game, I don't want to fornicate, I'm not interested.

    It’s because you’re scared. Don’t worry about girls now, just focus on kindness and strength.

    Just for cardiovascular health? You’re overthinking it. Incline treadmill walking — very easy on the joints; you’ll thank yourself when you’re 70. Hit target heart rate for desired time. A good starting point is probably 140bpm for 30min. Something like 8-12° incline at 2.8-3.6mph. Listen to whatever on airpods, or not. Higher HR will produce more adaptations but the stimulus to fatigue ratio is a lot lower the higher you go past 140-145bpm, which would be fine if it’s all the exercise you’re doing, but since resistance training is far more beneficial anyway (not that you shouldn’t do both cardio and weights/calisthenics), you might want to spare some fatigue reserves for that. I wouldn’t go below 130bpm though, because even though the s/f will be ultra high, the adaptations will be quite slow.

    Todd V (who seems to have a pretty high standing on this forum)

    🤣 

    Stop!

    My sides! 🤣 😣 😩 

    Seriously though… That hurts to be reminded of that. Holy crap. I know he gets traction among unsuspecting people, but I’ve avoided actually helping his victims because 1. it’s just too painful, and 2. they generally don’t listen.

    Listen very carefully:

    Be fun and lighthearted and very not-serious. Say whatever comes to mind. Do not worry about the possibility that anything could possibly go wrong — to do otherwise would be serious… Serious = pussy repellant. Showcase what’s awesome about you in passing without appearing try hard. Most importantly: sexualize from the very beginning (e.g. any time she says today was hard or long, obviously turn that sexual; smile and confidently say “oh do you like it when it’s hard/long?” :) etc). Mindset: Assume that someone told you before the date that they talked to her, and she’s definitely fucking you tonight.

    If she won’t fuck you, you didn’t get her horny enough to break her rule — many have a 3 date rule before sex, so don’t worry if all you get is a kiss or even an attempted kiss or kiss/makeout/bj. By the 4th though, may want to ensure you’re dating other girls because most will sleep with you on date 1 or at least 2.

    If you fuck extremely well, that should be quite a bit of fuel for your confidence. You should be fucking extremely well. Research how to fuck better. Stimulate g spot and clit at same time — one with each hand. Go to fucking town with you dick and your whole body, with her whole entire body. Different speeds; make her cum in multiple positions. Communicate — if she likes when you bite or squeeze her nipples, or anything else, keep doing some of that. Girls want passionate, awesome guys.

    It depends.  Some guys will sperg out, or talk about things that aren't going to move it forward.  You should generally stick to "chick crack" topics imo.

    What you say pretty much doesn’t matter. How you say it, on the other hand… And to get that part right you have to be in the flow, and if you’re calibrating what you say before the fact, the girl will not get great vibes. If you’re not calibrating what you say before you say it, you will definitely be moving it forward. If you are calibrating what you say before you say it, you’ll be scared and probably won’t move it forward.

    @The0Self That's why i dont like puas in general looking to understand women and see what it works to get resaults so if sleeping with other guys will make your resaults skyrocket to the moon you telling me you would do it 😅

    While game is about understanding yourself and no matter of resaults you stand on your manhood from that resaults come or not,who cares since most important thing is to worship yourself and keep your own integrity...

    The point of the post wasn’t to get guys to understand how to get laid, it was to perhaps get someone off the path of getting weirder and weirder by only getting their info from sources that will invariably do that to them. It would probably be best to just do spiritual practice and have an inner tap of confidence anyway.

    They all teach game 50% good 50% garbage that has nothing to do with it

    Not true at all man. With some sources you undoubtedly get worse results than with others. The key to understanding which ones work is to understand women, and that’s why mynonleatherlife (and talking to lots of women who respect you) is so valuable.

    Maybe take Mystery off the list then. It was a very quick list. It’s still fine without him 🤣 — the last time I looked at anything of his was a decade ago but it did help me at the time even when I was very inexperienced. I never follow anything to a t anyway and of course if something sounds obviously dumb (and you have the experience to tell whether it’s wrong or not, for you) then you should ignore it.

    How do we learn good game?

    Remembering to always remain dignified no matter how you are rejected, practice, being a decent person, being strong, understanding that rejection doesn’t matter, being good at sex, and looking at the right source material— examples off the top of my head:

    Kezia Noble

    Mynonleatherlife

    Ross Jeffries

    Mystery

    John Anthony Lifestyle

    Playing with Fire (to some degree)

    Paul Janka

    Much more too, you just probably won’t recognize it until you have some experience.

    Problem is with cult dynamics many will be totally unwilling to actually start learning how shit actually works. They think RSD or worse (redpill) know what’s up (a broken clock is right sometimes though so of course just because someone is saying shit you already know to be true, doesn’t mean they understand the whole game). And I’m not going to spend any time trying to unweave any cultish magnetism someone may have toward cultish characters.

    I wish it were that simple, but it isn't.

    Sure, you can point to any particular individual purveyor of an approach as a scammer, but the ideas themselves are popular for a reason.

    And that reason is BLUE-PILL culture (i.e. normie mainstream culture) which is at least as much of a scam (and really, probably even more.)

    So we can't in isolation just declare that those guys are scammers without addressing the scam inherent in blue-pill culture.

    Because JUST BE YOURSELF doesn't really work if you have no skills, no self-worth, and no understanding of the realities of intersexual dynamics either.

    The problem isn't that redpill is completely without basis per se; it's that it takes an imbalanced approach, neglecting important facets of game, life, etc.

    I’m not saying you can’t learn game really well. Just not from any redpill community people (even though a broken clock is still right sometimes).

    Most girls in western societies already know about game so knowing game may backfire on you more than it will help you because you will look manipulative.

     

    Do you have any idea just how much women hope that the guy who just hit on her actually has good game? And how much they’re usually subsequently disappointed?

    You have a good point, so you should at least congratulate yourself for discovering the basic flaw in some of the more lopsided models of intersexual dynamics.

    The problem with the Andrew Tate/Fresh and Fit kind of model is that it relies disproportionately (if not entirely) on OBJECTIVE/external value.

    If you're over 6 feet: check

    If you make over $100k/yr.: check

    If you have huge muscles: check

    In other words, these are externally measureable things that SUPPOSEDLY ensure your success with women.

    To tie this in with your post on self-worth, the problem with that type of approach is that it doesn't address SUBJECTIVE value.

    In other words, you can check all these boxes...and still feel like a piece of shit.

    Because you're not addressing something more fundamental -- what are my subjective values and how am I living upto them?  

    Am I treating myself as someone who is worthy? And what does that mean as far as specifics of my life?

    What some people seem not to understand is that the Andrew Tate approach is TRY-HARD game.  It is trying to fill a bucket with a hole in the bottom.

    That hole is SUBJECTIVE (internal) value.

    I hope everyone here realizes the Tate’s and F&F and redpill and blackpill (and even most of RSD) are simply scammers spewing nonsense (as far as game goes), though that’s probably too much to ask.

    You’d have better luck with LOA and Metta, as in for game 🤣 

    If you assume what you want is a foregone conclusion, and understand that relatively few girls will actually be compatible with you, the game is not likely to break you. If on the other hand you put your faith in teachers like Owen Cook and the Tates, you will suffer. A lot.
