no i found them all in the real world in real life

i lost all my shitty friends, was alone for a bit, and now i have amazing friends and a real tribe. its invaluable and took some time to build, but so much better than being around toxic people who just drink, jerk off, and watch sports. my advice is to find people in tantra , yoga, meditation, plant medicine communities, that's where the dope people r at

I went to a Ralston retreat, i did 2 of them back to back, was very insightful and also very difficult.

i just say "you doing/saying this made me feel (this) in my body"

I won't deny that younger women are more attractive physically and enrgetically, but i also meet a ton of older women who have really aged into their femininity beautifully with deeper wisdom that a young woman just doesn't have. its like a fine wine It depends on how they age in my opinion, many older women i meet (30+) do have a sense of bitterness and disagreeability towards men, they've just been through too much bullshit with guys so maybe it's justified. But to me, the godesses are the older women who recognize the beauty in the dance of feminine and masculine without this chip on the shoulder and the ability to still drop into her feminine surrender and flow.

@Space Lizard That might be true in terms of material things, but what about mental fortitude and spiritual growth? What if your main goal is to build your highest self? Which is an infinite venture, and I'm not saying perfect, I'm saying a fully authentic, fully loved, version of yourself. I think it's all intertwined, getting the hot girl, being an entreprenuer (if that's what you want) is just a path to building the person you want to be. It takes a certain person to get the hot high quality girl and run their own business (fact) You may get older, but I don't think you need to "decline" neccesarily, I mean your body will function well (if you're healthy) up until about 65-70, then sure you won't be able to do the physical activities you used to, but by then you should have built yourself up so well spiritually that you are ready to dwindle down and surrender to the end. Actually this philosophy always works, that's a limiting belief. As long as you are breathing you can strengthen and improve your soul. I think it's good to be humble, but also not to be passive

this is just as judgey as "chimpery and pissing their life away" Also i have never once in personal development heard anyone say that starting a family is pissing away life... ? Where are you getting this? Usually that phrase is said about doing drugs, drinking, video games, porn, being a victim, being a sheep

<3

Last thing ill say is it can be a hamster wheel if you don't have the right intention. Why are you even doing it? If there isn't a spiritual or emotional motivation , then it's never going to make you happy. Youll have the hot gf, money and confidence but still feel uneasy. I have used personal development solely for spiritual development and the fruits of that have blown my mind. Opening to Love, God & your Power are, to me, what makes it all worth it.

wisdom Also, why not enjoy that hamster wheel , pick up 2 bad bitch mice on your way and get some phat ass cheese

And the problem here is.... ? Do you want to go back to being mediocre? Would you really rather have that been how your life turns out? It would eat away at you regardless of personal development knowledge. Fuck that, get the amazing looking girl, become a successful entrepreneur and rock that James Bond confidence with full cock and balls in hand. Personal Development makes it fun to have something to work for, a vision of your highest self. Wtf else is there to do? Go to your normal job with your reasonable confidence and ugly girlfriend, shoot me. Stop limiting yourself

I've always been a party animal so i feel it is pretty much out of my system, now at 28, the idea of clubbing makes me want to curl up and puke. I'd much rather hit the beach, do tantra or ecstatic dance, or just read a book. The people at clubs can be cool, but they can also be such pieces of shit I had this attitude once, but it never really works, very few people can pull off celibacy, eventually you will deeply crave a womens touch. Also, you don't have to do pick-up the way it's taught. People make is so complex, it's mostly just pump up stuff to motivate guys to talk to girls, i believe naturally you can just become good at it through practice, do it your own way. So many of these pick up artists are just narcissist douche bags with no authenticity or love in their hearts, most of them were not good with girls when young so fucking a bunch of women is like revenge, it doesn't open many hearts and heal many souls. It's actually quite lame and a huge distraction. Good news is there are tons of guys who get women and are feminine, some girls like it. Shit, where i live most of the guys are feminine and they get constant cuddles and attention from women. This whole idea of being a "masculine alpha dude" is old news and it's lame. Real alpha males are kind, intelligent and social

I think it's actually not a preference and guys are just not as "welcomed" socially. It's harder for men to be accepted in social circles. This is something i have been noticing recently, i don't think it's that men don't want the connection and socializing, we're all social animals, but women are just better at it and i believe social conditioning gives them a lot more support to have friends, be vulnerable etc. I also think there is a component of gender though, men find it a bit more pointless to just chat, while for women it's almost a form of medicine or meditation. Men want to be left alone a lot more. Also, sexuallly it's actually dangerous for women, especially attractive ones, to not have a little pack or crew, so survivally it makes more sense. I travel a lot and all the women i meet have a little group of friends eestablished within literally hours of getting to a place. it's impressive. Also, love the videos Leo, God is everywhere. I really enjoy clubbing and partying sober and just tripping out on it.

wow, looks good

@bloomer I see, appreciate the clarifications. You are talking more on a societal level. I guess i find it meaningless to get lost in that, but you raise valid points, all we can do is focus on ourselves and create the best life possible and be the best men possible. I disagree on the moving thing, some countries are improving and have a much better vibe then the psychosis going on in america. I never felt very patriotic or fit in there so leaving wasn't a big deal, other cultures have a very strong masculine/feminine polarity like brazil for example

I find myself a bit too entrenched in Leos work, i love it so much but i feel it's a bit obsessive. For example, the videos help me sleep and i listen to a video pretty much every night while dozing off. But i worry about the ideas getting put in my head, specifically around solipsism or the idea that my experience is the only and every thing that is happening. Sometimes this is extremely beautiful and feels true and other times it freaks me out and seems ridiculous. I feel a bit like im playing with fire. should i slow down with consuming this content? it's just everything else seems boring and false now. i can't even listen to 99% of the bullshit out there. michael sealey hypnosis and actualized.org is pretty much all i consume, granted i pretty much spend my whole day outside in nature and with people so i don't consume much content.

@bloomer I didnt read your whole post but you seem to be pretty brainwashed. It's okay, I used to think like this as well "We have no god. God is dead and all that jazz." Bullshit. God is never dead and you can always connect to your higher self and spirituality. This is some athiest nihilistic wimp shit to say. "We have no family. The family structure is under constant attack and is fucked," Bullshit. I have a very close family with tons of support and love. This totally depends on your family and if they are brainwashed. "We have no positive male role models. " Bullshit, you just have to find them. I do agree the mainstream ones like Tai Lopez, Joe Rogan, even David Goggins are pretty toxic "We have no country. We have this entho masochistic worldview where the west is evil and the root of the worlds ills." Then fucking move, that's what i did and i have a community and culture. I used to live in America, where i was raised. Now I actually am so unplugged from the psychosis of the west it's unbeleivably refreshing "We have no purpose, because we have none of the things that used to give us purpose." You are a breathing living human being, create purpose, there are infinite things to give your life purpose. Quit pouting

i'm still confused on your pov of "others", when i talk to a person is there a separate consciousness on the other end experiencing me? Hearing my words, having feelings, being affected? Leo do you believe that you are the only person having an actual experience? And your bubble of reality is the only thing that exists?

if im god and solipsism is true, then why doesn't everyone here just denounce the fact they are having an experience and consciousness? Or would that just ruin the game too quickly..

In Leos videos and most of what i read online, it seems like people think that it has to be done via creating some product or brand that provides you passive income. But what if you just hustle for 5-10 years and then live off the investments? Why is this path so frowned upon? Everything i research about it is mostly negative, and I think this 4% rule is bullshit. You have to be a total idiot to only get a 4% return on your nest egg yearly. At the moment, my average investment return is around 18%, granted i've only been investing for like 3 years. Anyway, I want to hear your guys take on building a nest egg, then coasting off the dividends, rather than trying to build a business from scratch which for some people is just not going happen. It's much easier for a person like me to just make a good amount of money in tech and saving my ass off til i can coast. Thanks

frank yang annoys the shit outta me

I want to keep going deeper on my path with psychedelics, however, I'm in a bit of a dark mind-space. I feel unstable and lost, i just got back from a 2 week ayahuasca retreat and it was challenging, not as healing as i had hoped. I'm also reading LSD and the mind of the universe, it's essentially about taking the path of psychedelics for spiritual growth. Which i find very inticing. I have been a meditator for 5 years and it just seems to not be getting me where i want to go, although i love meditation, so much. where-as psychedelics usually do. And they are so great at shaking up all those negative patterns. I want to take acid (2 hits) and just meditate because last time i did it was so healing. But i'm worried that if it's a bad trip ill be even worse off. My main issue i don't have a support group. I travel like a madman, spending less than a month in a country at a time, because i enjoy it, but it comes with a constant flux of people in and out of my life. no stable tribe or friend group.

I need to burn through Sex, Financial Independence, Travel and Friends However i hope to not "get over" these things, I hope i always have good sex, good friends, solid passive income and travel my whole life.

@Tancrede Pouyat Absolutely nothing wrong with meeting women via yoga, dance, special interest. In fact, that is probably much better than cold approaching since you have a mutual interest. The issue is most guys don't go socialize and do those things, which was a prime theme in Leos' video. Meeting women in these places is going to get you much higher quality picks than a club, so do that but you're still kinda cold approaching, you still need to state to these women that you find them attractive and flirt with them. It's not enough to just go to these classes and make friends with them, bc you'll get stuck in the friend zone and end up spinning your wheels. Some people may act like its' weird to hit on girls in yoga because it's spiritual but that's absolute bullshit, just do you and go after what you want, and if you have to step on some toes be okay with it. My advice is do both, but DEF don't drop trying to meet women via yoga, dance, etc, that's a fuckin bullseye!
