Re-read your earlier posts. You talk like your anecdotal experience is objective and applies to everyone. That is what irritates people.

Whoever wrote this is definitely a virgin

I agree. But culture change is very difficult to force. I hope to god the US can make it, but it does not seem likely even in the near to mid-distant future

I mean, congrats man. But the fact you have to ask this is a little concerning.......

Backed up by science? OK, show me the science behind 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7. The others in here are valid points. I have no problem with you reporting your own experience of problems with masturbation. What annoys me is when you present your own experience like it is fact and applies to everyone, when that is not the case.

So salty, lol

Just stop dude. If you take two days to recover from ejaculating, there's something biologically atypical about you. It's not normal. If you feel guilty about jerking off, that's because of brainwashing from culture or content that you consume. It's sexual repression. Jerking off does not consume lots of energy that you need to recover. Your body produces semen 24/7 at a fairly constant rate, whether or not you ejaculate. And the calorie count of semen is almost negligible, so you're not losing energy when it leaves your body.

Because she’s still just a women, who you will need to build chemistry with if you want her to feel safe and enjoy having sex with you. Or you have to pay her enough not to care

The problem is that there are already so many of them There are more guns than people in the US, thats absolutely nuts. How do you get rid of nearly 350 million guns?

Like I said, I disagree more with the framing and dramatisation of it. What I said was that it is an over-dramatisation, not that his point was totally invalid This snippet in particular. It is nowhere near as bad as this: Yea, mainstream media is left biased, and often demonise pickup, especially traditional daygame where you approach girls randomly on the street 40 times a day But they are not trying to campaign for it to be considered harassment whenever a guy approaches a woman, and the framing of ‘the feminists in the media’ is rarely a healthy one. It’s a very dramatic ‘us vs them’ frame I hope that has clarified why I made my initial comment

Hahahahaha

Oh, yea of course. I can’t really advise you on dating there, it sounds like a fucking nightmare

No, I go solo, which can actually be a bit of a nightmare sometimes. I'd like to get some clubbing partners too, but I'm awful at making friends, lol. It's weird, when I'm out I can be ultra social and talk to tons of people, but actually building and maintaining longer term friendships with people is something I'm absolute dogshit at

The UK

Dude, if you’re at university now is the fucking time I’d sacrifice three of my toes to be back at uni At least in my country there is no better time of life to get laid easily than uni

It certainly happens I can think of two times in particular where I threw Hail Mary requests at girls that worked out. Both of them were outside clubs after I’d had a really shitty night and was basically just thinking “fuck it, what’s the worst that can happen” I pretty much said “let’s go fuck” but worded less directly, in kind of a teasing way. But it was still very clear what I meant, and very direct In one case I went and talked to a girl, just like two or three fairly standard questions like “how was your night” and then out of nowhere I threw in “Wanna come help me fulfil a fantasy” and she just laughed and started following me But that was pure dumb luck, and anyone selling you a course based around this kind of system is preying on your fantasy to be able to fuck a girl with minimal effort. It’s the pickup equivalent of marketing a get rich quick scheme What has been more realistic in my experience is some pretty innocent (but obviously engaging) conversation at the start but conveying lots of sexuality through body language and eye contact. If she responds well to that and she’s flirting back start ramping it up from there and seeing how sexual she is comfortable being This is kind of my goto strategy in clubs which is pretty sexual but not really EXPLICIT per se

I agree with most of what you said, it’s certainly framed in a healthier way than the guy who I quoted previously What is an absolute over-dramatisation is the “the feminists control the media and they are coming to get us” mindset

This is exactly what I was thinking reading this Look dude, I’m pretty sure you want sex. You said yourself you wanted it super bad when you were younger If those desires go unsatisfied it’s not healthy for you as a man, don’t repress your sexuality

This gave me a great laugh, especially the entire left side of the graph

You are probably far more extroverted than average and that’s why you think there’s no such thing as state For introverted people it takes time for us to ramp up into extroversion and get out of our heads That isn’t a belief. What you’re doing by saying there’s no such thing as state is basically equivalent to saying “just be extroverted dude” State is just another word for mood, and if you don’t believe that your mood affects how well you socialise, especially for introverts, then you are totally deluded

When you have an off day, just give yourself the most basic of tasks and let yourself feel good about completing them If it comes to Friday night and I feel tired and feel like shit, I set my limit as low as going out and just talking to like three girls, sometimes even one if my mind is being an absolute dick with resistance Ironically I’ve often ended up being more charismatic and gotten better results on those nights, because after my goal is complete I know I’m free to just dick around, have fun and be authentic and that ends up being way more attractive

It doesn't matter how you got there. Your belief is currently "I'm too healthy to attract girls" which is absolutely a belief that sooths your ego from rejection. Ironically, this is an unhealthy mindset Of course you can. Empathy, care, and kindness are deeper traits. They are valuable later in a relationship. You need other traits that initially attract girls, like a girl's appearance attracts you. Those traits are basically anything that sparks an emotional response in girls. I gave you a good list in my last post. The thing is that it isn't really always that toxic to do those things. Sometimes it absolutely is, but sometimes it's necessary. The times I've ghosted a girl have been because I haven't felt like talking to her anymore cos the vibe just wasn't there, or she went cold on me first, or something else happened that made me lose interest. Girls do the same Being willing to walk away is an attractive trait. Doing it intentionally to manipulate is fairly toxic, but sometimes it is authentic and the non-toxic option.

Oh I missed this, sorry ? The order of your images was weird, might be a mobile thing. Ignore my last post, none of that applies lmao You actually didn’t do so bad here, that was quite funny to read, if she has a sense of humour she prob took it well, she knows she’s pretty Just try and set up a casual date now, ask if she wants to go for coffee or drinks. If she’s interested she’ll agree, if not move on

You’re not setting a great frame. You’re complimenting her and fawning over her, placing yourself below her She even told you, she knows she’s pretty. She doesn’t need to hear that from you in the first few messages Try and be funny or cheeky, then try and set up an in-person date. That’s what you try do with texting for the most part UNLESS she seems super into texting and you guys have good chemistry over text. Since you’re on the younger side like me, it’s really common now for girls to want to text back and forward quite a bit if there’s good chemistry. But you always wanna be moving towards an in-person date

You could memorise an entire dictionary with mnemonic techniques like a memory palace or method of loci I’m sure there was a dude who didn’t speak French but won a French scrabble tournament by literally just memorising all the legal French Scrabble words
