thanks!

Well, while sometimes you can't do much about your appearance, you can definitely work on the shyness and your understanding of women's and men's psychology and needs. In my situation, I am looking at a mix of progressive desensitization, lowering my standards a bit for women (for my purposes and temporarily), practicing "not caring" what others think of me. And ultimately keeping in mind that this is a necessary step to my relationship goal: to have a deep, fulfilling and meaningful relationship with a woman.

Yes, it's good. Also, "how to have amazing sex". But it's more about my insecurities or fears, rather than the lack of theory about how to approach or attract women.

Yes, why not

No, I'm asking for practical advice to resolve the issue I have.

Easier said than done, it's like just be yourself

Thought about this as well

That's how it has been so far. And I liked it this way, but I want to have a different kind of experience now.

I've admitted to myself that I am craving crazy, intense sexual experiences with women. Experiences that I have previously considered either immoral, not worthy, or unavailable to me (welcome to stage orange?). Thanks, Leo, for "Burning through your karma" episode!!!! Are there actual strategies and techniques that help become more confident and less concerned about the lack of sexual experience when you are starting late/latish? So far, I can only think of "Fake it till you make it".

@Hardkill It doesn’t seem like Trump has any significant leverage over putin, but he does over Zelenskyy. The ceasefire wouldn't happen because Trump convinces putin but because Ukraine might agree to a losing peace deal. The ceasefire could last during Trump’s time in office, but I’m not sure our government would let men leave the country. If they did, a lot of men will leave, which will leave Ukraine very underpopulated and an easy target.

Would you want to defend a country where a drunk judge kills someone in a car accident and, after a few months, is released from jail like nothing happened? Would you defend a country where, every day, you see posts about corrupt politicians making millions from the war, buying villas in Spain, and sending their sons abroad? Imagine volunteering, and on your first mission, your incompetent captain orders you to capture a territory that can't be taken, leading to your death. Stupid deaths in the army happen all the time. Would you want to live among people who watch videos of human bodies being blown apart, with pieces of flesh flying in all directions, and actually laugh and cheer because it’s the enemy? Our government allowed women to cross the border, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of families were ruined. Where is justice in that? How can I love a country like this? You know nothing about how to live here.

@LordFall I've done a lot of research already and have a few connections. I can get a fake disability for $20k, but it still doesn't guarantee a 100% chance of getting through the border—more like 60-40. Waiting a few months after the election is a good idea; that's what I was thinking. However, if nothing changes, it will be time to make a hard decision: make the best out of life here and wait or take the risk.

@Jodistrict We get promises that this war will end soon, starting from the third day of this full-scale invasion. If nothing changes soon after Trump's election, this will be a definite sign that it's absolutely not clear when this war ends.

@Something Funny That's exactly what I'm thinking! I know I need to take full responsibility for my life, but I also need to consider the risks. On one side, my life here is not super bad, but on the other, I don't feel free. I don't even mention a chance to be killed by a rocket or drone because it has become so mundane.
