Something Funny

@Emerald how do you distinguish "I need to fix myself" because I am paranoid about not being enough and genuinely lacking dating skills and wanting to use pickup to improve that because you don't really know a better option? Are all worries about lacking "skills" ultimately just being insecure about not being enough? It's hard to do that when you feel like you are fighting for your survival. You would need to feel pretty safe in life to adopt that mentality. Elon Musk can be a kid in Disney World, he has got billions of dollars, he can do whatever he want and not be worried about the consequences. If I act like a kid in Disney World, I might lose my job, or get rejected from my already tiny social circle, or get publicly embarrassed.

@Emerald the question is how do you get rid of shame in a reliable and predictable way. Pickup is attractive because it give people a simple practical approach to the issue. You go out and approach. You approach 1000 people you will get better and you fear and shame will probably also get much easier to handle. You could even create a more complicated program, like a workout plan. Because you have specific numbers and parameters to work with. While "get rid of shame" advise seems really wishy washy. Like how do you do that? If most people could get rid of shame, I feel like they would.

thanks, I actually was able to find some locally. And no major issues so far? I assume you are able to afford going to the dentist regularly and fixing whatever cavities you get, if you get any? So you think that just keeping your mouth clean and bacteria free should be enough for your body to sustain teeth on its own?

@Leo Gura how long have you been avoiding it for? I am afraid of ruining my teeth.

@Leo Gura how come it seems like there are zero checks on executive power or like they are not working at all? How can one person be allowed to do so much damage? I remember you saying that places like Iran couldn't sustain democracy and liberal values because their development level was too low. But now it seems like basically any country, no matter how developed it is according to spiral dynamics and such, can drop into chaos and corruption at the click of your fingers.

1. All of those are just very base level needs. Nothing wrong with that, but they are. 2. The way you talk about them is how a caveman would talk about them.

I've literally talked to you just twice in a span of a month, if not two months. Sure. Me an Hojo are so alike, like two drops of water. And I disdain women with all my heart

This is actually so demeaning and disrespectful, it actually makes me angry. As if that kind of girl is somehow worse then those fancy European girls and is someone to be "settled for".

I don't even oppose what you've said that much. At least some of it. Sure what he wants is quite primitive or whatever. I just don't like people who are arrogant and mean to others.

There is a difference between making one comment, saying that you disagree with something and blowing up in multiple threads. If there is nothing mean and judgemental about this: Then I guess there would be nothing mean and judgemental if I said something like this: Right? Totally normal and chill way to communicate. So respectful...

Also, I've noticed how you like using an age argument. And I feel like this is a really lazy and dishonest way to argue. This is what people use where they have nothing to actually back up their words with. Just: "I am older then you, I know better".

@Someone here interesting, I've actually never heard of it.

@Princess Arabia Nothing mean or judgemental here. Totally not trying to put him down because you got upset at what he said.

@Someone here honest question, why would any europeans go to study in India? Just to have a little adventure?

@Princess Arabia You've become so judgemental and reactionary lately. You don't have to be the kind of wife he is looking for or agree on his vision of marriage, it doesn't mean that he has no right to want what he wants or that it's wrong. He is not going to raid your village and enslave you to do his chores.

@Alfonsoo I watched a collab video with him, but haven't checked outthe channel itself, yet

I don't have flat feet myself, but I thought this might help someone. I actually didn't know that flat feet can be corrected.

I think it's a pretty interesting option because you don't need to cold approach and you don't need to have a social circle either. And all women there are there to find a partner. I am a bit worried that my small talk skills are too bad for it, but in general it sounds cool.

Ok, thanks.

Good thing I am one of those few men, then

I threw my vote away into a trash can and I don't regret anything.

Hi @Leo Gura I was wondering if you actually keep all the music that you've shared in one giant playlist like this or if you've divided it into finer playlists for personal listening. P.S. the music is great.

@Michael569 thank you.

a typo, lol. Yeah, that might be the case.

@Michael569 Any tips on how to do that consistently if you don't really have a stable social circle to do it with at the moment? Aside from doing hardcore stuff like going to a bar or a club alone and cold approaching people to make friends.
