The thing is that, at least in my humble opinion, most people before COVID had very active lifestyles which is great and all but did not allow a lot for introspection, meditation, self-inquiry, etc, all the things which are good to develop for your own happinness/fulfillment. We are constantly running, chasing the next achievement, speding a lot of time with friends/family etc to the point where we forget to spend time with ourselves and to look inward. This is the biggest benefit of isolation imo, it is the chance to develop these aspects of yourself which due to modern society and survival chasing are really overlooked and underdeveloped. Of course this is temporary, after 1-2 years max you go back to normal life but i cannot say that this time was wasted. Just watching Leo's videos and thinking about them all by yourself already grows you quite a bit. Also ofc you can do the old fashioned thing and work a lot during your isolation to grow your business, or learn new practical skills to handle survival better like programming, langauge etc.

Ok, bad example. Still a person that smokes, drinks, does not work out, eats badly and is always stressed/overworked/lack of sleep will look worse than if he did not do those things. You cannot deny that. How much worse will depend on genetics, yes. Of course genetics should be taken into account. But with that logic why bother doing anything, anything in life has some genetic component to it which will make it easier for some and harder for others. Choosing not to smoke, not to drink a lot, not to eat badly, to exercise even 2-3 times per week (gym or running), to apply some basic skin care and anti aging products. These things honestly are not that hard to do, not doing them is an excuse imo. Fuck i am a guy with really really good youthful genetics (not saying it to brag or anything but im 23 and look like 19) and i still do most of these things just for own health and future vision (not smoking, drinking little, exercising, healthy eating, trying not to stress a lot, sleeping well etc). No excuses!

@Leo Gura Not just that man. Diet, skin care, exercising and being healthy overall (no binge drinking, smoking, heavy stress, lack of sleep etc) will slow down aging to some extent. I used celebreties as an extreme example.

That depends quite a bit on your tbh. It is true that girls mature earlier than guys but does not mean when you reach 30 your looks will plummit. A large part of that is how you take care of yourself on your 20s, if you do not drink a lot, do not smoke, eat well, exercise and do some basic skin care then it will go a long way. There are girls that look great even at 35 and some that do not. Concrete proof are celebreties which take insane care of their appearances and it really shows in how good they look given their age. I mean fuck, Kim kardashian is 40 and i doubt many of the guys here would not find her hot The same goes to guys tbh, self-care goes a long way when it comes to looking good as you age.

You can start today. Better late than never

I feel like feminism these days is trying more to make females equal to men but in terms of masculine values. So females can lead, be boss etc. Feminine qualities are still extremly underappreciated and feminism is not doing much on this regard. There is no fundamental reason why masculine qualities should be prevelant in our society more than feminine ones. Making females like men is not really solving the fundamental issue imo. There is no reason why things like social sciences or art should be above hard sciences. There is no reason why personal achievement and being traditionally "successful" should be more important than things like relationships or bonding. We have these days a monopoly of masculine qualities dominating all facets of life.

Two years in the grand scheme of things is not that much. And i am sure you already did things these 2 years, maybe not as much as you could but still. You can grow a LOT even in a socially isolated world created by COVID. Of course it is not ideal long term but it is what it is. Fuck, if someone puts me in sedentary confiement for 3 months, everyone would probably say they robbed me of 3 months of my life. Well i would use that time to meditate non stop and grow like a MF. Plus you can still be social and stuff even with COVID, like u can make friends and date.

@something_else Spot on!

Imagine 10 people in a big room, many of them are basically brothers with each other and they all got a gun pointed at each other's heads. They are equally fast so if one pulls the trigger probably that person along with everyone else will eventually die (maybe a few will survive but definetly not that agressor), i hope this analogy helps If you want a more proper explanation, google mutual assured destruction, it was a policy created by Eisenhower president to basically avoid nukes being used in warfare again.

EU is a great concept and i think one day it will be fully actualized but it will take quite some time. There are huge development differences between the countries, both morally and economically. In the next 50 years i see it happening though.

Keep moving forward...

@Hardkill They spend a shit lot of time watching tv shows and especially on social media. Video games and porn are more of a guy thing.

Why do you do it then? You already have decent skills socializing from your early years of pick up. Is there a specific reason you do it these days if you do not enjoy it?

Idk why watching Leo party and stuff touched me a bit, you see him more as a human rather an advanced teacher that is a floating head on a black screen in Youtube

@Preety_India Too advanced for this topic hehe

Orochimaru is stage red man

@K Ghoul Do most people there dislike or like their government? Curious

Honestly i am 23 years old and i can tell you that my generation is much less judgemental about this shit. A girl will not be judged that harshly anymore about sleeping around and stuff, especially around more liberal people. These days calling a girl a slut automatically makes you sexist. This assymetry between guys being good for fucking a lot and girls being bad is slowly being reduced. It does exist but i am sure a lot less than it did for your generation (we have like 13-15 year difference i think). I am talking here about western developed countries where we both live. In a stage blue country, it is a totally different story. Now of course if you are totally totally permiscious and sleep with like 100 guys before 25 then yes people will judge, but if a girl has a one night stand or friends with benefits or casually sleeps around is not judged that much.

May i ask why women have less difficulties finding a guy commiting to them compared to a guy getting laid? Even low quality ones. So why women's sexual agenda (to get a guy to commit to them) is usually more often satisfied than a guy's agenda (to get laid). And here i am not talking about quality. A guy usually struggles to attract or sleep with ANYTHING, meanwhile a girl always has some options for relationships but struggles to get the best ones. Why this assymetry, i never understood it. Ps: I am not talking about hermits here but more like "normies" including "introvert" normies.

@Leo Gura Do you ever do date lays or just same night pulls when you go to clubs? And you do daygame anymore?

Isn't a decent girl a better deal than a hot girl? This is so much shit tbh just for like 2-3 points of physical attractivness. I feel like it is better mentally for you to be dating a 6.5-7 than a 8 or 9.

Okay so i have noticed that whenever i am talking to a girl and another guy is also talking to her, either directly (same set) or indirectly (social circle stuff for example etc) and the guy is better looking than me i start to feel a bit outmatched. When it is just me and the girl talking i tend to block the idea that other people even exist but in general you will have multiple guys competing for the same girl, especially if the girl is somewhat decent. "This girl is being hit up by 3-4 other guys that look better than you, why should she choose you" is a thought i have sometimes when i am by myself reflecting. Basically i am intimidated by male competition. When it is just me and the girl, things are fine, i am quite confident and do my thing. When the idea that other guys are competing with me i tend to feel somewhat inferior and second doubt myself. Usually it is appearance that i feel insecure about because where i live most people are quite good looking (tall, blonde, good jaw etc) and i am more dark skinned, shorter (although muscular) and okayish decentish features but nothing crazy. Sometimes i am also intimidated if the other guys have more charisma or are more dominant than me although where i live that is not usually the issue. So what do i do to feel more confident about this? Should i just block the competition thoughts on my head 24/7 or? Any advice would be reccomended. I know some of you will say to be funny, confident etc but most guys from what i have seen are like that. Especially humour, everyone has it. I have barely met any guys in my life without a sense of humour. It is very hard to differentiate yourself with just humour. Keep in mind i am naturally introverted and low energy person (although quite decent social skills, and very high social intelligence).

I had this simple question At least around me i usually see that when a girl is pretty or hot, the guys she dates are usually above average looking. If guys personality is so important would not it make more sense for them to date the most assertive, confident and funny guys instead of the best looking guys?

Most of the people here are between 17-30 which means they will be more towards orange. Kinda hard to be solid green at 25
