So is the west and russia. Everyone got involved in that war in 1 way or another. USA is by far the biggest reason Iraq is a mess today. How many sanctions did USA get when they invaded Iraq? Just to be clear, I am not saying Iran is good but that the international community has double standards when the west does something bad compared to non west doing something bad.

Yes and it also killed 2000 palestinians, half civilians in response to 50 of their soldiers being killed in 2014. Such nice humane government they are . It reminds me of Nazi policies during the second world war where for every 1 german soldiers killed by resistance, they killed 100 civilians in response. You see similar numbers here. It is not accident. Well if you take 90 percent of their land what do you expect. See a map of evolution of land between israel and palestine through the decades and you can easily see the colonization slowly happening.

If Israel treated Palestinians humanely for last 70 years this would not happen in first place. It is a consequence of decades of bullying, bombings, taking land and ethnic cleansing. Check in 2014. 30 or something israeli soldiers dead compared to 2000 in gaza (more than half civilian). If this does not show you something is off, I do not know what will. I am against killing civilians in general and Hamas is fucked up but I totally understand where they are coming from given their conditions, upbringings etc.

Israel bombs civilians in purpose and cuts down water supplies. They are even worse than Russians which the west always condemns for war crimes. They said "free our hostages and we will give water again to 2 million civilians trapped in Gaza". How is that not a war crime I do not understand. How is that most dying in Gaza bombings are civilians and a crazy number of childreen. If they got such advanced precise weapons' they would keep it to a minimum but they do not care. You got many reports from there saying they bomb indiscriminately. I can assure you if Russia did to Palestine what Israel does they would get 10 times more shit. Since you have studied russian conflict well, can you tell me why Russia gets way more shit from the international community than Israel does?

How many sanctions have been put on Israel like they have been put on Iran or Russia? Iran is not even killing anyone and is more sanctioned. How many Israeli leaders or military have been trialed for war crimes? Saying "this is bad" in TikTok is not the same as actual punitive measures being taken against a country. Look at how much non western countries get punished when they do anything slightly "bad" and compare it with Israel. Heck how is that Iran is more sanctioned than Israel baffles me in itself. I dont see them invading nor killing anyone. How is that Saudi Arabia can behead 20 of its own citizens openly and nobody talks about "human rights" but when it comes to Iran they are the first to be vocal about it. The double standards are immense here.

I come from a pro israel country but honestly how can someone support Israel? It makes 0 sense to me. Of course terrorism is bad but the way they have treated Palestinians for over 70 years is just awful. What do you expect? How come their constant war crimes are always ignored while one time that it happens to them everyone looses their shit? I saw in 2014 there were like 2000 Palestinians dead, more than half civilians, compared to 50 Israeli soldiers. It shows how UN and all these international world organizations really turn a blind eye to Israel and give it favourable treatment. We have yet to evolve to a true objective wordily institutions. Right now it is as if the Supreme Court turns a blind eye when it is a powerful politican being trialed

Hello Personally I consider myself relatively liberal, especially when it comes to topics like taxation, economy, socialism, multiculturalism etc. I live in a very very liberal city in Western Europe which is quite diverse in both ideas and origins of people. Personally I also have many conservative friends, some quite religious and even though I often do not agree with their worldviews I tend to respect it and take it for what it is, not hating nor demonizing it. Leo's work and spiral dynamics has helped a lot with that (Thank you Leo ). However, I have noticed that Liberals, especially hardcore liberals tend to be extremely judgmental and harsh whenever they meet someone that does not have their liberal worldview. They will name call, judge, demonize and overall act very immaturely when someone thinks in a more conservative way than them. I know a very liberal and smart guy that once was talking to a friend of mine who is somewhat religious. The topic of homosexuality came up and my religious friend tended to say he does not support it but they should just do them. The liberal guy immediately flipped, saying "If you do not support them openly then you are against them and that makes you a bad person". Also he got quite emotional (he is not homosexual himself). If liberals tend to be more mature, developed, higher consciousness then how is it they tend to act in such a childish emotional way. I have had a lot of discussions with both hardcore liberals and hardcore conservatives and I have noticed that even though I tend to agree with liberals more often, when it comes to maturity in debates, conservatives tend to actually be more mature and grounded. They name call less, get less emotional and are less likely to stop talking to you even if you heavily disagree with their worldview. Overall their attitude is more mature even if you do not agree with them on a content level. Note: I always am talking about educated and relatively honest and good people here. All examples in my life involve such people since I met most in university.

Thing is most guys do not want to do 1000 approaches when 95% of guys do not and are fine. That is like saying you need to eat 500 calories a day to loose weight when most do with eating 2000. It makes you feel like there is something wrong with you and you are not good enough. Which is why game tends to attract people with issues (autism, lack of social skills, traumatic past etc). A healthy guy does not need to spam approach 1000 girls. A high value guy does not need to do 1000 approaches, he just lives his life talks to girls and girls are into him.

Point is that it is not always possible to sleep with a Ukrainian girl as quickly and easily as with an American girl because they give way more resistance. So it is not always doable in every situation. It depends a lot on the girl. Some girls need 4-5 dates to sleep with and nothing you can do to change it. Even if you manage to coerce her to do it faster she will probably have massive buyer remorse, feel like a total slut and not want to see you after. Since American and Westernized girls tend not to have such views on sex, they will not take 5 dates and still want to see you after even if you do it on first date.

You do show intent, you ask her out, talk to her, kiss her etc. The thing is that in liberal countries sex is not a big deal for girls and they have it easily if they are attracted but that is not every girl. Where I live it has people from all over the world and it is crazy how differently sex is perceived by girls based on their upbringing. For some girls hooking up with a guy they like is a no brainer while for others they need many dates, they feel ashamed about it and if you are too pushy for it she will probably stop talking to you. I know girls that did not have sex with their partner until they got together. So it depends a lot. I notice that Leo and some people here have a big bias towards liberal sexually open girls that sleep easily with guys when that is not all girls. I remember John Anthony who is a pro PUA saying that in Ukraine it would take him multiple dates just to get a kiss because girls are so conservative there meanwhile in USA he got laid on first date usually.

I know many girls that liked a guy and were invested in him even before sex because they saw him as high value. The "she does not care about you before sex" only applies if you are lower value than her naturally.

Telling a guy to be sociopathically detached and treat girls like you give 0 shit about them is kinda doing that though. I am honestly disappointed by your dating advice considering how much I look up to you as a person. Hanging out with players corrupts your perception, I noticed it in myself a bit. Maybe you should hang out with some successful guys with girls that are not man whores, maybe it will change your perception about it. Ps: I am not saying to be needy just not overly detached.

I know plenty of girls where the guy did show interest and they hit it off well. Are you talking about only hot girl dynamic or all girls? Is this mindset necessary with average looking girls? I know many couples where the girl saw the guy as high value and wanted his attention and everything. I feel like this is necessary only if you are lower value than her naturally and need to compensate by playing these games. If you are as physically attractive as her, got as many friends, more ambitious, make more money, are in better shape and more confident than her, you think you still need to do all this ? Dont you find that extremely toxic to need to talk to 10 girls at once and be sociopathically detached from all of them? I mean if this is what it takes to get girls no wonder modern dating is so fucked up. What about having a life outside the girl so you are not needy instead of needing to talk to 10 girls at once? I know girls that do not sleep with someone before they kinda get together. Does this principle apply to them too?

I am not talking about bullying or saying hateful things. Even stuff like "Men are more logical and women are more emotional" will get you labeled as a sexist. Or "Asians are quite hardworking" can get you labeled as a racist. Like these petty things where they take something neutral and make it seem like it is so bad. Of course if you say hateful stuff and insult others then it makes sense.

You can meet people through many ways. Work, social circle, events, conferences, parties, gatherings etc. Just being social makes u meet a lot. I honestly do not think cold approach is needed unless you want to get hot girls in large quantities. It is like entrepreneurship, it helps a ton to become rich but you can still live comfortably with a 9-5 job. If you are not happy with your results give it a shot, otherwise ignore it. Getting a top notch tinder profile (I assume you look at least decent since girls approach you), will help you a ton more than cold approach. I know a guy who did like 300 daygame approaches with barely any results then he tried tinder and is slaying there (he is normal looking too). Just get platinum, good professional pictures where you MUST show good dominant sub communication and improve your texting.

The idea that "if a girl is not your girlfriend until she sleeps with you" is very very western liberal biased. I know MANY girls from conservative countries that only did it with their partner months after they got together. It can lead guys to loose girls if they push sex too much as some girls take it super slowly and have horrible associations with having sex too fast. Some girls dont care. So culture plays a role. I say it because I am someone from a conservative society living in a western city and the difference is enormous.

Hello everyone Today for the first time I took a high dose of magic shrooms and did a guided tour. It was in a dark room with a friend guiding me and helping At the height of the trip I saw butterflies. I focused on the butterfly and the butterfly opened its mouth and got closer to me. I felt strong emotions and I also opened my mouth. Opening the mouth allowed me to feel it deeper. The emotions (I think it was love) was so strong that my mouth could not physically open any more to receive more of it, my whole body felt limited in how much it could take. Then I saw the body get dismantled violently and slowly disappear. Afterwards I was just one with the butterfly and felt insane strong emotions with tears flowing down my face. This lasted for maybe 10 seconds. There was just being, no thinking, no body, just pure emotion. My face was soaking wet after from the tears. I never experienced anything like this before, I did 1 year ago a shroom trip but it was way way weaker. A second time when the butterfly opened its mouth, I saw my body get physically streched and expanded. During the whole trip I was barely thinking, I did not need to think. I just felt and intuitively communicated. My mind was totally shut down, logic was gone. I am trying to make sense of it. I assume the emotion was love because it felt beautiful and powerful. The tears were of happiness not sadness. What did I experience exactly if you guys have spiritual terms for it?

Is there a conversion? So 1 gram of mushrooms is equivalent to X of truffles? What would be 15 grams of truffles worth in mushrooms so I have a vague idea.

I tend to be very harsh and demanding on myself so that would make sense.

I took 15 grams of magic truffles because the first time I took 10 grams and although i felt some stuff, it was not that powerful. I think I have high natural tolerance because also weed barely works on me unless it is a high strong dose. . However it was not traumatizing at all, very beautiful and profound I would say. I feel like I temporarily went outside the matrix Knowing all the theory about this stuff and having some lighter psychedelics experiences helped make sense of it.

It felt like that, I did not know it was possible to experience it with shrooms, though DMT was required to go that deep. Now I feel a lot less insecure, anxious and overall more calm. My goal is to try to integrate what I felt in my daily life and work towards achieving similar things (although way weaker) through my daily meditation practice. We will see in the future. I am reading that butterfly is a spirit animal that is about "transformation", which is interesting because I am trying to expand my personality and work towards finding my true authentic self. I assume this is "been here done that" for you at this point but wanted to thank you for opening me up to the possibility of experiencing these things. Thank you

I always see butterflies, it is a theme with me. However what I felt was so profound I do not have words for it. The emotion was so intense that my body got dismemberer in order be able to feel all of the emotion, it basically transcended the body and even the mind. Face covered with tears, it was beautiful. I am still shocked about it. Was it god s love I experienced? Is that what love with capital L is? Sorry for asking so much but I am still wondering about the whole thing. Could you please elaborate? I am not familiar with the term.

The difference is that guys and society is quite empathetic, understanding and not demonizing of a girl s period. Meanwhile for men sturggles regarding this stuff there is 0 empathy and you get demonized when you try to improve (pickup for example). Why would a girl even be angry if you try to improve yourself by talking to a lot of girls? I did it with some female friends about daygame and they were super supportive about it. Of course if you start explaining them technical details of what attracts them it does indeed not go well. Just the act of going out and talking to girls I think should not be demonized.

Does not that put too much importance into looks? If she talks to you for 2 minutes all she sees is your looks and maybe a bit of your body language, tonality and base confidence. You even said it yourself in one of your old videos that in order to see someone s full personality it takes a bit of time, not possible in 3 minutes.

There are many things here you need to take into account: 1. Have you maximized your appearance? Gym and fashion would be your best friends here alongside good groming and even hair transplant if you need it (cannot tell). Looks are not the most important thing but they definitely make a difference, do not listen to PUA guys that think its just about your game. 2. Do you have hang ups from your past? Deep trauma or inner issues? Limiting beliefs? Work on those on top of going out. 3. Try daygame. Maybe your natural personality is better suited for it. At least that is the case for me and many people I know. Maybe you are a natural fish that is trying to swim in the desert. It does not work as well for him as swimming in the sea does. Maybe daygame is your sea. 4. Try to do social stuff also. Go to meetups, gatherings, events etc and talk to everyone. Social circle is way more powerful than cold approach and it is how most guys get their partners. You will not get laid massively for it but you can defiantly find a partner from it. 5. Persistence of course but you seem to have that in check which is very nice since it is the hardest thing. 6. Getting coaching is not bad per say but first of all I would avoid RSD guys and just focus on learning some basic principles and applying it. Once you have good experience you can hire someone to see you and fine tune details but most of the work is you doing it and self reflecting. Leos videos should be all the theory you need. 7. I have met PUA guys that do get girls sometimes but I ALWAYS notice that the ones that actually do well are really chill, natural and pleasant to talk to even as buddies. Meanwhile the ones that struggle, even if they do get laid have this weird over analytical almost autistic vibe around them which I find weird as fuck to be honest. If that is you try to change it. Just be yourself (cringe but it is mandatory). Final question: Why are you doing pickup? What are your reasons and motivations? Is there a deeper meaning behind it for you?
