Don't hire any coaches. Keep your money. https://www.youtube.com/@LFA/featured I started following this guy LFA on youtube in 2019 and I instantly became socially aware. And I almost instantly got a girlfriend. Go watch many of his videos. LFA is the greatest dating coach on Youtube. I'm so glad I've found him. LFA is what healthy masculinity looks like. Please for the love of God watch him. Many of his videos.

@Majed Who said to not approach? Go talk to girls, especially if you already know them. But for the love of God, stop bothering strangers who look the other way when they see you on the street.

Funny enough is that as soon as I stopped cold approaching girls I actually found my first girlfriend. I was in a park and I seen her looking at me from a nearby bench. I went and said hello and from there all went smoothly. With no effort. But when I cold approached girls who didn't even look at me, I got punched by the face after a few days by her boyfriend because I bothered his girl.

@Majed That's not true. If you are well mannered and talk like a normal person many girls you interact with will be open to talk to you. And once you sense that she might want something more you ask her on a date. But if you sense that she has a closed body language you leave that girl alone.

What I gave is common sense advice. Honestly! I'm enraged whenever I see cold approach advice. To me cold approach is bothering girls whom are uninterested in talking with a stranger. I did follow your advice in 2018 and I got a black eye because of you. I learnt on my own skin to never bother girls whom are clearly uninterested into talking to me

Please don't behave like a wierdo. My advice is to never approach a girl if she didn't give you any social cues. Don't bother girls if they don't even make eye contact with you. If I were a girl and I was bothered like that on the street I'd kick that MF in the balls. And never cold approach. Only weirdos do that. U should always hot approach. Hot approach means you approach only if you see her giving you looks, or smiles, or makes it clear from her body language that she would talk to you. Approaching girls like you did strays into the #METOO teritory.

@Leo Gura Thank you so much for this comment. That's what I was missing. God bless you for everything you do for us. Without you I'd be in a totally different state of counciousness right now.

@Leo Gura Thank you so much Leo. The post above is what finally made me understand what pure philosophy and perfect epistemology is really about. What I initially taught about epistemology is child's play compared to the magnitude of work required in order to do the real epistemology you advocated for in the post above.

It's not about me. I try to make sense of how other humans perceive truth. Because I see that the rednecks label the truth as falsehood and falsehood as truth.

But what if I am a redneck, orthodox christian, illiterate, all day long tiktok user, conspiracy theorist believer? How do I make sense of truth from this given position? From that position you can only find someone like Trump like a saviour. As do the people from that blog post of yours from few days ago where you said that's the reason you hate religion.

So in order to find clarity again I must only perceive something as truthful if I have direct experience of said thing. If after careful examination and observation of someone or something I can draw a conclusion solely based on my personal observation. This leads me to truth, rather than using stories from other humans to asses if something is truthful or not. Eg. Trump is a devil. I should carefully study the way he acts and behaves, who are the guys who back him up, and after observing these things to use my own judgement to decide whether he is a devil or not. Rather that to blindly accept your statements about Trump, I should do my own inquiry on whether he is a devil or not.

I have watched most of that playlist. I am watching you @Leo Gura since 2014. But right now I am totally lost. The one video that made me like this is your video The power of not knowing. Right now I am without any identity. I feel like I can't know anything, and I can't enquire into anything accurately because all the information sources have been corrupted with human egoic agenda. I have no idea to what truth is. You say that Trump is evil, which is true from your POV, but from the pov of his rich friends he is an angel because he makes them be insanely powerful. So you talk a lot about the truth, but in my opinion all truth is relative! If I break into your house and steal 100k usd from you, my truth is that those money will make me able to feed my family for the next few years, but from your pov, I severely hindered your survival capacity and because of me you can no longer finance your business or feed your own family. So both perspectives have truth. Please help me , I feel like a snowflake in the wind right now.

@Leo Gura Please I feel very lost right now.. How do I build my epistemic foundation? What videos of yours should I watch to have a strong epistemic foundation. What core values should I adopt? Please give me a blueprint on how to develop a good epistemic foundation so I will never become the sum of my friends. I live in a part of the world where most of the people around me are horrifyingly stupid and I don't wanna become like them.

Thank you everyone for everything you shared with me. Much appreciated. <3

I've become aware recently that the substance of a perspective is irrelevant as long as the one delivering the perspective is extremely charismatic and presents himself as a very well spoken individual who is also well dressed and has a deep tone of voice. I've noticed myself get sucked into perspectives as long as the one speaking is someone I personally admire. It is the case with Leo. But it is also the case with my uncle, whom holds perspectives that are diametrically opposed than those of Leo when it comes to politics. Yet both made me buy into their perspectives. The role of this post is to sound the alarm when it comes to extremely persuasive personalities. You need to bring your A game when it comes to critical thinking and skepticism when listening to someone who possesses charisma and seems like he knows the ins and outs of a particular subject, especially when it comes to politics. I also invite you to share your own thoughts on how to not be manipulated by these cunning individuals and how to differentiate between healthy perspectives and people who try to talk you into voting with someone like Trump. I've thoroughly studied Leo's video on Lower and Higher perspectives, and personally I've been even more confused. I don't know why Leo is right when he says that the left and the democrats are objectively better than the right wing conservatives. When I listen to both perspectives each perspectives bring pretty valid points into discution. The only reason I don't vote conservative is because I realize that the whole movement is to keep in place the faulty status quo which facilitates fiscal evasion and maximizing the profits for the ones in charge. But other than than I'm very confused, I don't understand some left wing politics, such as immigration, To me conservatives make a valid point into thinking that people from underdeveloped countries shouldn't be allowed to come in masses. I have no problem if my country brings here 100k Chinese people or Italian people, but I'm actually scared if my country would allow 10k of Somalians or Afgans.

Also I kindly ask everyone of you that if you ever come across some article about Covid related ED, to share it here on this post. I do my best to do thorough research but this kind of information may still be yet to be released. Thank you everyone.

@Jayson G I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will explore everything in that pdf and do what I can. Thank you.

I've re - watched Leo's video on Spiral Dynamics Stage Red. I've watched it when it released but I didn't do it by taking notes as the information unfolded and I did that just today. No AI no nothing, I just typed onto my commonplace book, every idea and nuance that @Leo Gura expressed. Thank you Leo for exposing to us this brilliant model. Without it I could probably be dead now. This stage red video when it released in 2020 made me cut out of my life all the stage red friends I had back then. Most of whom are in jail or drug addicts that severely injured people in car crashes and violent club fighting. I'm forever grateful.

The biggest difference between me in 2020 and me now is that, before COVID, I could just picture a woman’s figure and within 15 seconds, I’d have a full-on erection. Now, no matter how much I focus on women sexually—whether I imagine their bodies or even visualize myself having sex with them—I can’t get hard, even if my life depended on it. My theory is that COVID completely wrecked the nervous system mechanisms that control erections.

@Xonas Pitfall Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking your time to write such beautiful insights on this thread. I'd have to re read your comments here every one in a while. I've asked myself the why questions and I realized I have a ton of work to do on myself. Thank you beautiful mind. <3

Thank you for this response @NewKidOnTheBlock. You are completely right. I tried already everything that the majority of people recommended but nothing changed. I went to urologists but here in Romania the medical system is piss poor. All they do to me is send me to do expensive blood tests and when everything comes all right they prescribe me Cialis. I've been to four urologists until now and when I mention that it is covid related they say to go to psychologist maybe I have anxiety. I've been to the psychologist too, there I almost lost my temper because it charged me 50 dollars for 2 hours of asking me BS questions about my childhood. I make 20 dollars a day at my job and I had to pay 50 for 2 hours of asking me if my father abused me....... I gave up on urologists because here they just milk me dry of money whilst sending me to pharmacies to get milked even further. I will gather some money and I will go in a more developed country for medical help if I can't fix this on my own.

Thank you everyone for your kind words of support. I deeply thank each and every one of you. I'll try some of the things you guys recommended. I'll keep you updated every 6 months to tell you if I got any progress.

Once a week, My GF has stopped giving me any kind of intimacy so it's when I masturbate. I don't really have time for that either because as I mentioned I have a job to go to and I rarely find myself alone at home, I live in a 12 square meters room with 4 other family members.

@Leo Gura I'm so sorry for not listening to you in 2021 about the vaccine. You did your best to inform me about the dangers of catching Covid unimmunized and I still didn't listen. Man I never thought I'd have to pay such a high price for being stupid.

I book a hotel room.
