@Cepzeu There's a general consensus between experts that Myers-Briggs is a very outdated model, even faulty. If you want really accurate personality inventories take The Big 5, Hexaco, The Dark Triad and the NPI. These are the most cutting edge tests. Myers-Briggs is still ok to take for fun, but it isn't as reliable as the other ones anymore, by a long shot.

Tears of excitement and joy about what your life could look like. Don't start to guilt yourself because it doesn't look like that yet. It defeats the whole purpose.

@iGhost Julien's pickup days are over. He even deleted all his pickup videos. He is 100% self-help teacher right now. No doubt he remains one of the greatest pickup artists though. I think AMS is a bit too tryhard and has a pretty bitter view towards women. I like his blunt way of portraying ideas, tacticts and strategies, but I feel like he is not that cognitively developed. He gotta read more books cuz his brain doesn't allow for much nuance right now I see.

@Tistepiste Awesome trip. Thanks for sharing.

@brugluiz Create a vision that will make you cry everytime you think about it. That is how you create positive (as opposed to negative) motivation to get to work.

Having high standards is one thing. Having unrealistic ones is a whole different thing. If you want girls who never had a relationship or sex, go to a monastery and get yourself a nun. Also, one long relationship doesn't translate to increased chances of breaking up with you. It indicates just the opposite. She knows how to maintain a commited relationship. People can break up for all sorts of valid reasons. I would be more worried if I was with a girl who never had a relationship. She can break up with you solely based on her relationship fears and insecurities, which are usually overcomed with relationship experience.

@Eric Tarpall What's your question?

@Alex14 You can't change much honestly. She's way too immersed in her beliefs. Bounce as soon as possible from the house. Don't expect to be able to change her. She won't unless she wants to.

@Annoynymous Read the book Letting Go by Dr. David R. Hawkins and apply the letting go technique. That's all you need.

Be careful with these assumptions when you haven't gone through the products yet. The Natural and The System don't teach you manipulative tacticts. They teach you how to become the man women want, how to portray your value and how to get to your goals in an authentic and fulfilling way. There are good and bad pickup artists. I have no interest in the latter.

@Mezanti Even Pagan is outdated at this point regarding pickup. Some better modern teachers for this are: Todd Valentine RSD Max RSD Tyler Todd is the best teacher and has the most logical, systematic way of approaching dating, sexuality and pickup. Also, be on the lookout for Denton Fisher. He might blow up soon and become the best pickup artist out there and thus leader of the pickup field. Eben Pagan is good, but he is much more dedicated to business than dating right now. That chapter is much over for him. It's better to not waste time and follow those that dedicate their life to this field and make a living solely off of it.

@youngshinzen It means you don't have enough intimacy and options with girls. Become a man with options, that has sex regularly with different girls or a great partner and you will never feel like this again.

@Shroomdoctor Create more options for yourself. Having only her will make you clingy.

@Annoynymous The method is incomplete and outdated. Think of it as a computer from thr 60's compared to a 2018 Macbook Pro. The best and most complete product that will teach you everything from A-Z with the most up to date pickup info is 'The Natural' by RSD Max. The second best is 'The System' by Todd. If you go through either one of these, you're not gonna need anything else regarding pickup/dating for the rest of your life. Double your dating is a waste of time and money at this point. Was revolutionary when it first came out, but it's way too outdated.

@Sahil Pandit Having rotations isn't a problem. Only if you think of it as extracting value from a woman. If you are just 'giving' value to each one of them, it's an amazing situation to be in, both for you and them.

@Eric Tarpall The 21st century dilemma. Guys want girls as pure as virgin Mary, as good in bed as a pornstar and as faithful as a dog.

@Self Discovery Take it as a challenge to adapt to new situations and environments. There may also be a lot to learn there, even if it's what not to do. It's a bitter medicine. Let it teach you patience.

@Sahil Pandit That's what I usually do too.

"Persons with very high scores on the Agreeableness scale forgive the wrongs that they suffered, are lenient in judging others, are willing to compromise and cooperate with others, and can easily control their temper. Conversely, persons with very low scores on this scale hold grudges against those who have harmed them, are rather critical of others' shortcomings, are stubborn in defending their point of view, and feel anger readily in response to mistreatment." - Official HEXACO Website My current challenge is balancing agreableness with assertiveness. I tend to be very accomodating, wait a lot more than I should before setting boundaries, have trouble finding what those are in some cases and I avoid conflict at all costs, even when it may be constructive. It's ok to have high agreableness but there is a very high chance of being taken advantage of or make the mistake that most people also think like you, when the total opposite may be true. Many times, high agreableness can also slip into 'Nice Guy Syndrome'. Do you have any insights on this? Anything that would help balance my personality and be more forceful and assertice when needed (and figure out what those situations are)? Thanks. Note: My agreableness score is 98 out of 100.

"We are one We are a universe Forebears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea Aeons pass Writing the tale of us all A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers Having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one And that whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity From so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been And are being, evolved" Nightwish went through a very natural growth process and that made higher states of consciousness stable. They were able to sustain and channel their new level of consciousness into this album, that represents the peak work of their career. This is why whole album reflects turquoise, not only this song. Although they don't have the proper theoretical foundation for turquoise, apparently there is a force that is working through them without their will that pushed them where they are at now. "When I leave this skin and bone Beyond my final heartbeat I'll dismantle piece by piece And I will know that death is not defeat When I leave this skin and bone Beyond my final heartbeat (heartbeat) I'll dismantle piece by piece And I will know that death is not defeat Holding on tight to what's left of our time We've hidden away But it's in the design Why do we fight what we can't define? Don't be afraid, we all cross the same line When I leave this skin and bone Beyond my final heartbeat I'll dismantle piece by piece And I will know that death is not defeat Into the night we burn and rage In death we repay for time on this stage The lights are bright But don't lose your way 'Cause once it ignites The flame must decay Now you're finally complete I will see you where oceans meet Past and present merge Light and dark will converge Time will overthrow our reign on this throne The everlasting sleep Returning through the veil Far beneath the deep Another soul sets sail When I leave this skin and bone Beyond my final heartbeat I'll dismantle piece by piece And I will know that death is not defeat When I leave this skin and bone Beyond my final heartbeat I'll dismantle piece by piece And I will know that death is not defeat" I feel like Architects slipped into Turquoise with this song but they were and won't be able to sustain it yet. It was just a slip caused by the death of the guitarist. They were maybe put into a higher state of consciousness temporarily, and I hope that more of their songs in the future will be like this. "Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind" Sting lives a pretty spiritual life and nails life purpose. I'm not surprised that he was and is able to put out songs like this.

@lmfao Awesome. Thanks. Well, from what I've researched, 50% of your personality is hereditary, and the other 50% depends on your environment. So having a manipulative parent might indicate pretty accurately why your personality is the way it is.

@Zigzag Idiot Awesome insight. Thank you.

@Krisena Thank you for the tips. I lived for a year with a guy that was the total opposite of me on the personality spectrum, and some attitudes did rub off but he was too on the other extreme for me to want to emulate any of his behaviors. He seemed to take assertive behavior a bit overboard. He was very low in agreeableness and very low on honesty-humility, and high in psychopathy, machiavellians and narcissism. He commanded respect, but in a manipulative and superficial way it seemed to me. I reflected a bit on the situation and figured a few ways I could improve: Practice saying exactly what's on my mind for the sake of long term peace instead of short term conciliation. I should tell the truth even if it's nasty, because if what I'm saying is right, it shouldn't impact me negatively, and even if it does, it's better than not saying anything or saying something that complies with their attitude or opinion. Learn a martial art. A lot of times, I am not saying what's on my mind or establishing boundaries because the guys I am trying to establish them to are intimidating, fit, aggressive and short-tempered. I am afraid of physical harm and that makes me shut up when they disrespect me, which is not good either. If I did not fear physical harm, I would be able to say exactly where my boundaries lie, even to intimidating people. Do assertiveness training Finish "The Assertiveness Workbook", "The 6 Pillars of Self-Esteem" and maybe Jordan Peterson's "Self-Authoring Program". Figure out exactly what my vision is and what my goals are When I am guided by these, it's much easier to establish boundaries compared to when I have a vague resentment about how someone treated me. I can figure out exactly what bothered me because I will see how a certain kind of behavior causes friction with my goals and vision. Would love to hear what you guys think.

@Arthur Yeah, you may be able to credit the work. But, if the assessment one creates is not good (if the results are not accurate or if spiral dynamics is misrepresented), it may be associated with Don Beck in a bad way and he might not want that.
