Actually, it's the other way round.

This is spot on.

On it.

@Natasha Tori Maru I'm open to hear what other mods think. It would also be interesting to hear what the two girls think about their photos having been posted online here, maybe @Husseinisdoingfine can ask them and provide feedback. Sure, it's a learning experience, but also a missed chance for the forum to show real standards. Waiting for reports isn't leadership...

@Natasha Tori Maru Solid policy. So photos in sexual context are fine unless proven non-consensual? Are you saying I could open a thread called "All the trophies I fucked, big milestone for me" (I'll make sure I won't show any nipples in photos)? See how absurd that sounds?

Nobody called anyone cringe. If you’re posting here, you’re an adult and accountable for your decisions. Text is fine, sharing your milestones is fine, but the underlying issue got ignored. Even worse, the mod stayed silent. Cheering on is easy, cleaning up a mess later not so much. Posting photos of people without their consent – especially in sexual context – just makes this forum look cheap.

Not caring doesn’t make it ethical. You also don’t care about work or moving out, doesn’t make it noble. In some countries posting faces without consent is an offence. It wasn't just random travel stories, he posted them in a thread about cold approaching, nightlife and how-to-get-laid-advice, which drags these women into a sexual context they most likely didn't consent to. Also it makes them look like objects: "Look what I (almost) pulled." Is this personal development or just rationalizing whatever’s convenient? @Husseinisdoingfine The photos were awkward, didn't look like they knew they were being photographed, which just adds to the creepiness.

@Schizophonia You don't post photos of strangers, period. @Husseinisdoingfine Good call on taking them down.

This thread is creepy af.

Yeah, they're still working on the better version. An apprentice did mine, so I don't have an official serial number, just says 80085. Exactly. If you had the chill back then she wouldn't even have been attracted to you in the first place. Makes me wonder: Is there ever a relationship where you can settle down...or is it just mirror after mirror, lesson after lesson? If so, I hope the Latina series drops soon.

Lmao, she was surprised to see a dude just flowing with life.

Nah she's younger....they did change that. It does help. And I always found I treated women like sisters. Play with them, tease them, annoy them. They love it. Also, smooth move with the festival girls. Though, I'm more reserved around other women when I'm seeing someone. I literally feel no urge to interact with other women. Seems like the cost of staying stuck is way higher for you. You're paying for it everyday already.

I swear you are my half-a-decade-older clone. True. I’ve been in relationships where I kept focusing more and more on her red flags...but I had mine too. Unfortunately, I only realised in hindsight. For me, what matters is whether the connection drains me or strengthens me. That tells me more than a checklist.

Yes I agree, but pickup is probably the fastest approach to "get good" with women, way to burn through karma plus gain other valuable skills along the way. Sometimes I forget having a sister helped me not be awkward around women, which is why pickup always felt questionable to me. In my circles it’s always the single-child guys who have no idea how to interact with women. @czar24 That crash aftermath looks nasty. Maybe it happened because riding a scooter already makes you look silly, like taking a toilet for a spin @Leo Gura @theleelajoker

Instructions unclear, boiled cold water to 6969 degrees and burnt my anima, then tattooed the Bugatti logo on my forehead with a cigar.

Most people have several of them, it's a stupid list. Do you want to take relationship advice from someone who isolates himself?

@Schizophonia What you study? You could easily work and study in the french part of Switzerland and make some good money 😏

How do you survive without a job in France btw? There must be some type of work you can do in your town? Petrol station, checkout etc. Might be less isolating? Just a thought.

I've gone through several relationships, sometimes even tried again after breaking up because I couldn't make up my mind about what's missing. What I learnt: the missing part doesn't just magically disappear. Getting back together only feels beautiful in imagination, not in reality. Yeah I can imagine. Grief is brutal. Nothing can ease it except time.

Sounds like you got stuck in something that confirms your "I'm not wanted" belief..? So even when you try you're not met with enthusiasm and your subconscious takes that as proof that you're just another number. And if she's asexual then there never was real desire reflected back at you anyway. There are some pathetic little humans out there, you don't come across like one, bro. She'd want that simply for the same reason you do too...

Why are you not meeting enough you think?

Having been on both sides of that struggle I honestly don't know, sometimes neither decision feels clean. Love isn't always enough if the weight keeps dragging you down. Real question is, is it temporary or permanent?

It sounds like you reject the parts that might actually balance you. Why not stop theorizing and lean fully into the side you're most drawn to? See what happens when you stop trying to solve it in your head.

Misses the point. If someone’s going slow in the fast lane they shouldn’t even be there. I’ll tailgate until they move, it’s called traffic flow. Safe driving isn’t just keeping distance, it’s knowing where you belong on the road. How to train that into people's heads?

Along what journey...cold approach? I do that sometimes. But more often it's a girl giving me a signal and me not acting on it cause I literally don't feel the urge. Feels more like some mental block than lack of skill.
