I want to see how you are doing at 35-40. Only because youth can carry you hard, and at the above ages the body changes quite suddenly. I've done lots of diet changes to address Hashimoto's. At the moment I only eat meat, eggs, vegetables, black coffee and green tea. Some cottage cheese added in also. I feel amazing - but boy oh boy people cannot stand someone so disciplined around food. Even when you don't push anything on others.

I feel like I am witnessing the dialogue of my own mind when I attempt to shred up understanding and juice reality for more truth...

I was thinking on this and the process outlined. You would probably naturally screen out more mature woman by using force to orcastrate sex. But again I think the overall aim here is to obtain sex, and this will get in the way of that aim. The women who are inclined to sleeping with men who push would be naturally more likely to take risks - and be less mature. Also perhaps less self assured and able to advocate for themselves ( lower self esteem ) - due to many woman prioritizing harmony at the cost of sovereignty. Alcohol also lowers all natural inhibitions. Higher chances of crazy. I think if you slowed down as you say - you may be more likely to find a woman who would sleep with you, and be a long term prospect. But if the aim is sex I can see why you would use leverage and some measured force to jump the logistical issues. That push would be seen as a red flag to mature woman so naturally filter them out - which is what you want if the aim is sex only. It makes sense living close to a club or bar would help you pull successfully. I saw this living 10 or so minutes from the biggest mecca for indie bars and clubs during my 20s (in Melbourne).

@Leo Gura for sure - duly noted

Rofl post some animals n shit. Kittens and puppies. Sugar glider cuddle puddle But knowing Leo it will be like a lion vs a black mamba vs eagle survival face off

Yes, we see you lurking - invitation to play Come to have your worldview expanded (or contracted, should you so choose.... ) + stay for the BANTER

@Leo Gura Overall I really actually value these perspectives - I essentially went 40 years completely blind to the troubles men face, and the difficulties balancing their sexual desires with life in general. Because I see this from a female lens, I sometimes get tripped up digesting what is said when I am (as a woman) being pushed into a frame when it doesn't always apply. I think in a broader sense I want other women to realise the plights men face, so I want them to be able to listen without any knee-jerk reactions. Palatable truth I appreciate!

My intention isn't to try to undermine any of your points here - as I think they are valid. I ask for further nuance because there are many users reading this - and not just them - many, many lurkers who also read these forums. Your statements carry weight so naturally others listen. The burden of power. When you lump all of a gender or definition into a category you limit it. I think it is valid for me to point out more nuance is needed. You must admit your statement was black and white and without refinement could be viewed as myopic. It's not an excuse to push away this as 'If I have to state instances/nuances where this doesn't apply every time I would be here forever' when just ONE word 'most' changes the entire message of the statement. Precision. All I wished to do was prevent people from misinterpreting your statement. Nothing more.

No comment on the testing. I am saying there needs to be a distinction that this might be the case for most women in that environment. But not all

@Leo Gura Do you mean most women?

@OBEler I understand you - I'm not talking about anything you stated. I'm rapping on how the view of emotions can be twisted in strange ways. I don't think I'm a good example, I don't fit these distinctions very well. I am an atypical female

It's quite an insidious tactic - instead of head on addressing the argument, you attempt to paint emotion onto the opponent. Implying they are 'rationally compromised' because they are emotional. And therefore, wrong. It's a little ego game. A card users here try to play against one another I witness a lot. You know the person has no way to counter argue - so the next tactic is to discredit the source. @Xonas Pitfall Well said, I never considered these factors - it links very well back to the recent fake spirituality video Leo released.

You are completely correct here - the degree to which a woman places priority on safety is linked to past situations. Other reasons also, but history is big usually. Every woman is really different in that arena - with fears in different areas and depths. If you can create that safe space for her, she will be free to really engage in positive feminine expression without fear. Usually very attractive for men, and it feels great as a woman to be able to play within the containment of the safety a masculine individual can provide

But you do realize there are some women who value and are looking for truth.

Candid - everyone has been quite good (so far). I've lurked for many years and have seen snapshots of some caustic behavior. I think the forum improved before I was promoted. Time will tell 😈

@RendHeaven How old are you?

Haha I have those strange thought 'pickups' quite frequently. Similar to what you describe. I am quite familiar with how my thoughts arrive - how they span out sequentially. How glancing at objects triggers a new thought stream. How I got from this thought, to that thought, then onto the next etc rapid fire. So fast - like recalling a song. All the notes...thousands of notes and instrument tunes in a song. You can easily think of a song right, sing it in the mind? Thoughts, to me, are perceived in such a rapid manner. It's when I cannot figure out where the sequence that produced the thought originated from - that's a clue I picked it up. Almost as if I am perceiving a thought form. Its all very woo sounding because it cannot be empirically tested. The only way to confirm is to test the thought against reality. If they are congruent it confirms it. But then it's not a measure really as I am providing a subjective, internally perceived metric to compare reality against. I highly suspect I am getting cold reads of body language, tone and facial expression as these foreign thought forms are local and from individuals in my direct experience. I have a talent for reading others - especially if I have their baseline. I am a little witch voyeur watching people.. I notice things many people do not. So as much as I like to think it is woo - I bet I am somehow perceiving/feeling something real, triggering a thought and unable to bridge the gap of understanding This is why meditation is so important to me! To identify

There's been a shift from less communication to increased facilitation for sure

Does their need to be a feminine/masculine polarity attributed to the path? I just don't see the frame serving me personally.

I've done a lot of work with lucid dreams & hypnagogic states. During my process I worked out that laying completely still and focusing on breathing + resisting ALL urges to move assists greatly for inducing lucid dreaming. It seemed to me early on, my brain was running 'checks' to test if I was asleep by sending impulses to move the body. You can notice this when you are falling asleep for the night: you will toss, turn. Small shifts. Feet movements. Even physiological 'sighs' are a brain check. Lay completely still, and I mean completely. Resist every impulse to move as they arise. It works best on the floor with just a pillow to support your head. Music can also assist. 70% of the time this will trigger a lucid dream. Total control of what arises within the dream-state. Its very important you prepare yourself by isolating and working with any fear - any negativity. You will carry these elements of your ego into the state. Can't emphasise this enough.

There was such a big focus on the experience that attachments weren't a huge problem. I used to have a singular fixation on one person - but this was rooted in attachment issues believe it or not! There was a lot of overlap with hobbies - we were all artists, musicians etc. So, at the core of it was a unifying creative pursuit. That intense focus and creativity translated into the sort of love we each shared. The only real rules were 1) total honesty and 2) no one sleeps alone

@Xonas Pitfall It was a great experience. The dynamics change between partners a lot. A lot of checking in. A lot of really honest open communication. You cannot be immature or dishonest in any way. It will simply implode or one member will begin emotionally or mentally cracking due to a compromise in personal integrity. It helps I am not jealous. Nor Possessive. I do not compare myself to others. I am more interested in nurturing those around me, as this is the quickest way to facilitate my own growth. But I have always been this way. I don't know any other way to be... It ended due to one party passing away.

Poly can be successful. I've done it. But Aubrey and his crew are no way near yellow or turquoise for that matter. @Cocolove out of curiosity - have you watched the original podcast? You just can't be possessive or jealous. You can't be looking at the other person as an extension of ego. A possession. Or a thing to extract something from. I just don't think most people are there. I haven't met or even spoken to online to anyone capable of poly (in my assessment) since the original relationship I was in 5 years ago.

To my perception your post is a real-time work through and consolidation of an experience. I didn't read it as a shitpost - who are we to invalidate another beings experience? It is the interpretation that we discuss <3

I mean I like to think I am reasonably grounded - but I see fucken DMT entities, have had alien experiences. I even perceive thoughts that aren't my own picked up from outside sources - which I find verified in reality. I do not draw conclusions without a real knowing. But the strangeness and mystery is THERE. I think it is highly likely, prior to these historical figures, these light beings and profound experiences would have been viewed as ancestors. Which just points to perhaps consciousness enduring beyond death - conscious forms from the past that return from the absolute to provide a glimpse for us immersed in maya. 'Kinetic' consciousness returning to a 'potential' to be tapped into - the relative touching the absolute. With the technology of psychedelics - or just pure raw dogging meditation and contemplation. There is something to be learned from these figures of the past: the reality of being. They all sort of point to the same thing: that there is no greater mystery and wonder, awe and joy - than the NOW. And this is why we choose this experience. Wake up, remember...
