Something Funny

Nah, Owen is just gay.

@NoSelfSelf I don't see why I should spend thousands of hours on game, when I could just "gimmick" my way into a decent social life, and then spend all that free time and energy doing ACTUAL self-development work. Actually working on self love Meditating Doing solo retreats Doing shadow work and healing traumas Working with a therapist Etc.

@NoSelfSelf I don't see what self love has to do with game. If goal of development was development by itself than you would live like a monk who doesn't care about women, sex, and career at all. You wouldn't care about developing talking skills, because wasting time to develop them for their own sake is useless. And even on a more basic level. If you wanted to develop talking skills just for pragmatic reasons, like getting a job, or something. You would join toastmasters, or work as a salesman, or become some kind human right/environmental activist. But you chose game instead. Why? Because you still care about success with women and having sex. Why only straight men do game for "personal development". Why there are no gay pickup artists, or female pickup artists, or asexual pickup artists? If it's really such a good tool for developing yourself, as well as for self-love and spirituality, than why doesn't everyone do it?

It's just that in my experience, when people get judgemental of what others are dling, it's vecause they are insecure about it on some level. You clealrly wanted to put him down for what he is doing by reducing it to "haha, that's gay"

@NoSelfSelf right, and the goals of that "development" is to feel confident, attractive, get more sex, and more money. You can come up with a bunch of noble stories about it, but in the end it boils down to the same basic needs. You just think that you need to work really hard to get them. You need to train martial arts, got to the gym, earn more money, "study game", etc. And then you see some random guy who gets all the same basic needs met, with much less effort, thanks to some clever cheese. So of course you want to call it a gimmick, and act like your approach is superior.

Are you sure that's not insecurity on your part? Because if he isn't gay and you were attracted to him, you would have to compete with all those hot girls.

And yet, you've just said "mic drop" one post ago, like having girl friends is a bad thing and is unattractive.

I am pretty sure that the guys that have the most sex are not very developed. I don't think developing yourself correlates much with becoming more attractive, unless you specifically develop yourself in that direction. But at this point, you are just focusing all your personal development and spirituality on getting a girl. How is that not a gimmick?

That sounds great and all, but how would this look like in practice? Also, it's not just about getting laid. It's about having a healthy social life, imho.

So you would prefer to get approached by a guy who is alone at a club?

But he isn't hitting actively on anyone? They are hitting on him. Why can't "having a good time" include a possibility of getting a date? My point is that you can tune what he is doing down, and it should work pretty well, right? Isn't that how most people socialize and get dates anyway?

I can't speak for him, but you don't have to be fake and shady, no? You can be actual friends with those girls, while also enjoying the social benefits their company provides. That's how most friendships work, I think, unless you are super close best friends.

But it's easier to find friends, no? Isn't it a good stepping stone that makes the whole process simpler and less threatening?

@Davino So where did you find so many girl friends?

I don't understand how that logic works. What's wrong with going to a club as just friends? Well, at least according to his experience, it works in the opposite way.

@Ropuch7 thanks for sharing Do you feel awkward walking barefoot around people in the city?

It's fun and I like the minimalism.

I am already wearing barefoot shoes all the time. I just want to try taking it further.

This is based

Since Trump is not dead, does this really matter? Everyone who is supporting him now, would have been voting for him anyway. Why would he get any new voters from this?

I feel like it could be really fun, and creative, and I could create something beautiful, but on the other hand I wonder if my life purpose should be something more real and should have more impact on the world.

@Michael569 okay. But to clarify, I was really curious about your opinion.

What? Honest question. I don't care about getting cut by itself that much.

lol

Yeah, I never found his streams that interesting. I prefer watching regular games, I think. I used to love playing custom games as a child though. My favourite were: catle fight, life in arena, and some custom moba games. There is this moba game called Naruto Legend. Based on Naruto, of course. It's so good. The amount of work they've put into the map and character abilities is insane.
