Why do you believe humans are not apes? Would you teach this to an eastern lowland gorilla? Do you hate gorillas too? Why teach it to humans?

All this crap backfires on them You can vote now in most places already No Kings rallies worldwide Saturday

Anyone that thinks Ukraine joining nato was a legitimate reason to invade is - Look at Hungary, Viktor Orban, they are in Nato, He sucked putin off in front of the world.

The best actor in the world isn't that good If I were to do pickup, I would do it obviously, but not in a slimeball way, I would use a cheesey obvious pickup line and keep it light and not sexual, if you can do that. I still haven't read what OP is doing pickup for, *this isn't PUA horndog advice. No primer or anything, just come in with that, they'll like it if you don't do it sexually, then "want to grab coffee sometime"? Done. Don't dress up like a party boy, nothing, be you, and you're gold.

A " third to a half " is not "most women"........ Conservative women tend to have sex on the first date, but they're still not "most women".

@Olaf women that do that have psychological issues

Men are just as if not more emotional making decisions, just different emotions, mens are more fear and insecurity, women's more love and expression. Men view the fear decision making as being responsible, because they don't know how to identify their emotions, like at all, like how most no one listed their emotions in this thread. Every rational decision has emotion behind it, fear.

The big boys can't pull out, they'll get fired and murdered. Markets going to tank. Diversified just means spreading your blood around more.

Ya id have to do pick up if i was you. I'm not trying to talk you out of pickup but It's kind of mixed up in my eyes: you say you do pick up to save time, I suspect it takes a lot of time, maybe not, especially when you include dating. If you go out and just socialize treating women as friends you can filter them like the equivalent of dating 10 women at a time, while hopefully doing things you enjoy, apparently maybe not though. AND you don't have to eliminate women that you're just not sure of, you just keep it friends. With dating you waste a ton of time with people you're not sure of. Do you focus on areas where you think you'll find a fellow homebody, like bookstores? I'm just curious, I'm not trying to talk you out of it.

New York Post https://nypost.com "Abdul El-Sayed's alleged family ties to Muslim Brotherhood surface after ... 1 day ago — However, according to his half-sister Eman Abdelhadi, their mother was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood. “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college #respect,” Abdelhadi wrote in a 2012 X post, as first reported by the Washington Free Beacon. Their mother, Fatten Elkomy, had attended Egypt’s Alexandria University, which, according to a report from the Brookings Institution, had strong Muslim Brotherhood activity back in the 70s."

You don't like going anywhere that girls do, except for pickup? Are you doing pickup for sex, or marriage-dating?

Is there happiness?

Shield yourself from stimuli? Why would you do that, why would you hide from sadness? "Shield" is hiding, the inverse is not seeking sadness but facing it.

Some people can tell your behavior is synthetic. Even if your 'extroverted' behavior is not from practice or learning, the extra energy is synthetic, either from PUA or the mass psychosis of the culture, or masking. If you have a hippy town near you, if you want to see what I'm trying to illustrate, next time you're there just sit next to the people at the bar and see what happens. It's not just hippy people that do this but that's where you find the highest concentration making it easily visible. How would your behavior change from a hippy brewery to a typical college bar and why. You don't need to do anything special to be able to enter someone's life that you're already around, you're already in their life, they're already in yours, just live recognizing that and not hiding yourself. Did you need PUA to talk to your mom when you lived with her, you never made random comments to her? Some people do need help with social anxiety, I'm not trying to overlook that This phenomena always reminds me of Europeans making fun of americans for having bleach white teeth, some say it freaks them out, it's sort of the same thing.

I suspect tears of joy are the harmful ones, reliving repressed emotions. Crying is a physical defense reaction to something perceived as wrong. I cry occasionally, usually just a little. I think more than most people, it can be about anything that bothers me.

I make friends with women all the time through normal social activities, sports activities, volunteering activities, political stuff, friends, just naturally at music shows, everywhere, I don't try to pick them up, I just like to engage with interesting people, and interesting people often engage with me first and I reciprocate.

You try to focus on self amusement, but why are you in front of her, why are you out that night. Self amusement alone is trying even if no one else is there. I'm not saying it won't work to pick up women, it obviously does. Sure it works, and could work well for you. That's not what I meant. Some women see right through it and dismiss you for it, it's surface level and you'd be better off just being your own original self if you want that type of woman, the only type I myself would be interested in, but most of you it doesn't matter to, I was just saying some people just see through it and dismiss you for it. People that 'want' to fit in, don't fit in very well in some crowds, anything more than just being there outside of your head is just not going to be kosher, you don't have to do anything or be anything, the trying is annoying, surface level. Every person in the world is an interesting person if you just let yourself be yourself, boring is cool AF even, boring is interesting, boring is nice to be around, the little things about you that you will never notice are interesting and pleasant to be around, like a unique patch of flowers in a garden. These flowers are "weeds", people pick them and spray them. Some people enjoy them, and love them even, just being with them, no jokes or stories, no questions. You ever been to a pet adoption shelter, do you think the boring ones never get adopted?(most just lay there and do nothing). You think a woman isn't going to love her lazy cat or dog? You already emit a presence naturally, if you get rid of all this bullshit it will undoubtedly be a pleasant one. You don't need to do anything. You're here existing in this crazy society, on this rock flying through the sky for the same blip of time as everyone else alive right now, that, that alone, makes you interesting AF. Enjoy the music show, tell the stranger next to you what you're seeing reminds you of or what intrigues you about it, even if it's a 70 year old deaf man.

Just being with acquaintences even, people that talk a lot, try to be funny or fun, people can see through that. Everyone else will be having a calm conversation or just watching the entertainment never needing to make the moment 'better' or make sure they're part of the conversation, just being with each other being enough. You can get a girl that way don't get me wrong, but you don't need to. it can turn the very best ones off...... depending on what you're looking for

Then why doesn't it work on every woman? The single women that shoot you guys down see through it.

Going out to do pick up is those things
