  1. No. You hurt yourself by doing that, not to mention others
  2. Science, in case you prefer that
  3. Do you do c̶a̶r̶g̶o cardio? Might be due to your diet, what do you eat? Does your job include heavy physical, or mental work? Also you do not need to exercise every day, unless you are doing to lose weight or something like that. Your body might be exhausted because it never gets time to heal?
  4. Confident Honest Showing integrity Being grounded and mature Being respectful Being fair, primary when making discussions regarding people I do not think you necessary need to be a good person to be a man thought
  5. If both of you are really serious, tries to wake up on time and study properly (8-17 every weekday including lunch). You should be fine (where i'm from, grades in university is basically irrelevant)
  6. I like to take a extra half-second before i speak, doing so will make you able to focus on your pronunciation and if you want add emotion. You can also emphasize on extra important words(even if it's not necessary,from a grammatical sense). This will make you sound clearer, more relaxed and confident. But do not take to long or you'll sound stupid.
  7. Happiness, simple as that
  8. How karma really works, thought i suppose you have to experience it yourself to understand. (I not talking about some kind of supernatural force)
  9. Have a soft spot for that verbal abuse, no specific subject though. Harsh statements once or twice is fine, might even help you improve yourself. But if it's every day, it hurts especially since there is not really anything you can do about it. Also i'm somewhat of a forgiving pacifist so i guess that does not really help either(unless it absolutely necessary)
  10. What expectations do you put of yourself?
  11. I personally like kind, social, honest and empathetic girls/women, but realistically the most important thing for me is probably if i can create a real connection with them on a emotional level. Preferably with a healthy lifestyle especially in regards to alcohol(and other drugs) and food. This is mainly to see what kind of person they are, rather then the physical aspect. In my experience really physically attractive girls/women have horrible personalities, so i give them a harder time proving themselves. It does not hurt if they share my views on life and are open-minded, thought i suppose i could go on forever.
  12. Some people like bondage , sorry but i think you should adjust your advice to the level of the individual rather then smack em with the technical truth. @hirax , Guys are unlike most think, not only interested in looks, That being said there is such as thing as being too attractive. The problem might be with the way you are dressing or acting. It is possible that you seem really hard to get or unfriendly or sad in general or maybe you use to much makeup? Got any male friends? if you really want to know i suppose you can ask them? (might REALLY hurt thought) Try online dating if you have not That being said,people whom do cold approach or hit on you in bars/clubs are generally more interested in short term relationships. Every tried cold approach yourself? Guys are generally easier but do not pick the hottest guys just in case.
  13. I find it strange that he recommend us not to join social groups, i mean can't hurt to make some more friends right? Not to mention that women generally like social guys. Regarding parties, well i suppose if you want to improve you sexual skills and possibly improve you "seduction skills" . Since drunk people are easier to seduce. That being said, don't go out parting and sleeping around all the time intil you are done with college. I simply invite you to try a few times (preferably sober) and talk to a few girls and see what happens If you really want to make yourself a long term girlfriend i would recommend doing so through other types of social events and/or just good old fashioned pick-up. Or possible through a class you have and have to work in groups, i personally enjoy begin a few minutes early to class so that get to talk to the other students that i normally do not talk to. Online dating sites might also work. What kind of things do you like? Maybe it is possible to do them while being among/with other people instead of at home? Having a female friend really helped me get a hang of those mysterious beings, and if you play your cards right who knows what could happen. P.S I'm not saying that you do this, but generally women under 30 generally prefer to be called girls.
  14. Personal development is very "personal" so you'll need to be more specific about what area you would like to develop yourself. Generally i would recommend this one if you have gotten stuck(it's somewhat advanced tho)
  15. If possible move to a student accommodation, preferably student dormitory. Had a similar problem and moving really helped
  16. Short story: You have low self-esteem. If you did not, you wouldn't not need to "Prove yourself to others" Simple practical things for boosting testosterone(and in turn confidence) Diet changes: more (good)fat, zinc and vitamin D Avoiding ejaculation(you lose zinc this way, the less you do it the better) Exercise(if you don't already) Make sure you get a good about of sleep These are of course not the best solutions since low self-esteem is a physiological problem but they will help get you started and are rather easy. Also try some confidence boosting mindsets etc (google it). Leo might even have something
  17. If you want to make things a lot easier and do not already do this, then... Do: Exercise Eat healthy If you are able, get a nice haircut. (short on the sides, long on top, works best generally) Women/girls really likes a man whom cares about him self and his looks Don't: Watch porn masturbate Avoiding porn and masturbation will increase you willpower/motivation as well as testosterone/confidence levels among other benefits. P.S: Don' t spend too much time watching videos/reading, make sure you do the practice as well.
  18. Can you explain more? How come things stay on earth if there is no gravity?
  19. How would gravity work if the earth was flat? wouldn't everything just fall to the center of the disk, collapsing into a "ball-shaped planet"?
  20. I you wish to reach enlightenment i would strongly recommend avoiding them. If not then.. try to keep it to a minimum, say once every two weeks max. Also try to find something else(better) to do with your time/money. New friendships, love, hobbies, travel and so forth.
  21. I would recommend: Striving for long term relationships but "doing it" once or twice is not the end of the world, not to mention a new experience. You can learn more about women and about yourself. The trick is not getting stuck, that could lead you down a bad rabbit hole. Have fun
  22. This is deep and has some practical applications, if you wish to defend yourself from others. You do need to be mindful about how you use this, as using it wrongly could make you cold and fanatical. I fear that you may close your mind from others thoughts and feelings. You may defended yourself against the truth if they speak in anger. If they what say is not true, there is still something to be learnt by what they said. How they think and why they think so.
  23. A bit of backstory About a year ago i was not one to easily forgive people, i would hold a grudge over really small things and just waste mental/emotion energy thinking about it. This was about the time i start watching Self-help and spiritual videos/content. For anonymity (Not actual names) William - A neighbor (student dormitory) Amanda - An other neighbor, the girl William likes (Allegedly) Story Last Saturday i went to a party with a friend, at the party i meet my neighbor William and some friends of his. Me and William(and his friends) had partied before so i offered them some of my alcohol. We had fun talking/dancing with people, one of the people i spoke to briefly was Amanda. I live in a student dormitory so after the party i went to my kitchen and made myself a sandwich, drank some water. I heard some noise in the corridor and saw Amanda having some problems with a friend of hers, so i help out. After that i sat down with them and continued eating my sandwich. When William came with a friend of his and saw me, he ask me to come with him to the kitchen, so i did. After entering he started to act aggressively so i keep my distances and sat down in a couch. After that i tried to see if there was anything i could do to help in a calm and friendly way. His response was "lick the floor". I refused in once again a calm and friendly way, after which he started beating and kicking me.Giving my face some serious bruising and than leaving because his friend stopped him. We where both surprised that he would do that for no apparent reason, but some how immediately after each punch/kick i forgave him and even feeling bad for the pain he must suffer do to so. As if there was nothing to forgive.... This in turn relieved me of hatred of him and potentially regret. As well as him not needing to get hurt because of anger i could had towards him. I simply defensed myself trying to block/dodge his strikes I should also mention that i already have a girlfriend that he knows about and that him liking Amanda is a theory his friend had. How to implement this in your life If you wish to attain this ability you need learn 3 things 1. Learn to recognize behavior/traits that indicate inner suffering, there are some obvious signs such as drugs, alcohol abuse and criminal activity. But there are also some less obvious signs like: Do they change a lot when they drink, do they play a lot of video games or have similar distractions. Do they have a very sex, sweets or some other pleasure seeking lifestyle. Are they fat, unattractive, lonely, heartbroken.... you name it, the list is endless 2. Learn to mirror the suffering to yours: Did you have a time where you suffered in your life? Did you remember treat people badly at the time and why? Basically what you need to do is to understand that, they hurt people because they suffer and suffer even more because they hurt others i.e karma. As well as be able to empathize with it. (Empathy comes with age in case you are a teenager/kid and are currently lacking) 3. Allow yourself to forgive them without any conditions. You do not need them to ask for forgiveness or should remorse, we are the same after all and they simply don't know it yet. If you want some "payback" know that what they did, will hurt them too in the long run.
  24. First and foremost i should tell you, i am no master of spirituality or psychology. I have not studied it academically, nor experienced the same Issue. i'm simply a 20 year old guy, whom found an interested in this area because i was going thought a really rough time. That begin said: I believe this comes from a low level of self-esteem and/or self-worth. A feeling that you are not worthy of love and affection and there for you feel bound for betrayal and abandonment. But you are and so are we all, it's a cruel world and it saddens me that you do not agree. You need to learn, is to love yourself and value yourself for who you are first. Because it's is a lot easier to empathize when you have seen the light and right now there is only suffering and darkness. So you lack the perspective to see the other side and therefore you cant forgive him. I would recommend this video (a bit long and messy): Yes i too hold this belief. To grow stronger you must first suffer, in both muscle and mind. What makes you strong is overcoming it.
