    Sometimes i wonder how people can go after relationship, school, careers, homes and make a family etc.

    Without even have a drive toward anything related to self-realisation. 

    The moment i knew there was something like this i went all in. 

    I have nothing against people who are already seekers and strive for thiese things.

    What amazes me is the ones who's only focus is on the material and have no clue about self-realisation.

    How do they survive? Isn't life more painful like that? What meaning is there in that place?

    I already forgot how it was, i remembet that place as a mere mirage.

    Because the ego loves a destination that is tangible and materially accessible. Enlightenment is too esoteric and too difficult for an ego-mind to comprehend, let alone strive for efficiently. So it’s convenient to just hanker after any derivable pleasure one can access instead. These never become what one wants, but it takes searching for them to figure such a thing out. 

    Even ‘enlightenment’ is an ideal for the ego-mind. Really, there isn’t such thing as enlightenment to strive toward. Thats just another amusement park for the mind to venture.

    You are better finding out who “you” are and stripping yourself of all you are not, especially what you consider yourself to be. This is what we all want truthfully. To understand ourself.

    Some may call that enlightenment, yet that is merely another idea. Ironically, there becomes no thing to strive for when one discovers they never existed to begin with.

    Seems to be a really interesting idea. And as my mental health is fine I think that I won't be able to give any reasonable suggestions in terms of features. But still, I have some thoughts on this one. The way such an app looks is just crucial IMO. It needs to be attractive and the design needs to suit the app's purpose really well. So be sure to hire a decent UI/UX team to get this done. Maybe use Awesomic subscription or something if hiring a designer is out of your budget for this project. I think that even for MVP it's quite important to provide a proper design in this case.

    100% agree. This is my main point of interest but I must also ensure the gameplay matches just as well.

    I have a freelance game designer who I am considering to hire for a reasonable price. However, for art design and graphics we may need extra help. I am an artist myself but still quite intermediate when it comes to digital.

    Heres a game I find has a similar environment effect I am aiming for

    @Jacobsrw I love this idea

     Please consider the muse headband, since this can be adapted to other apps, I believe. If it's not muse then there's another inexpensive headset on the market that does allow app developers to use it. 

    I don't think it takes strong readings, so the controls would have to be very simple. 

    Check out 'mind music' on Google play. It uses the muse headband and you can control the tempo of the music with how relaxed you are. 

    Thank you! @seeking_brilliance Awesome idea, I’ll definitely look into this man. We live in such a great time of technological advancement :)

    I want to be able to control it with my mind.

    So a headset that is also used for neurofeedback therapy, detects my level of focus, and the more focused and present I am (brainwave frequency) the better I can control it/the faster I can move/some other positive thing.

    Another cool feature would be to train me to evoke different positive emotional states.

    So my star would be gratitude-propelled.

    Ooo this sounds interesting! Thanks for the feedback.

    I like the idea of inducing different emotional states

    brain wave function may be harder to detect without an external product related to the app. But could be a self computed input of some form.

    we heard ego death, ego problem, ego blah blah, 

    but what is the beauty of ego that showing to us in this world?

    Ego shapes duality providing you a platform from which to be a unique being unalike to other existing things in reality. An ego is an important life form if considered an entity that can develop a meaningful quest.

    Ego death can only be of value having considered you develop a healthy, competent one to begin with.

    Hey all,

    So I currently have quite an ambitious idea. I seek to develop an immersive meditative game app directed at mitigating anxiety and tension for individuals struggling with mental health. The app would be directed towards those with anxiety disorder, OCD, panic disorder, PTSD etc. However, it could be accustom to any person whom desires playing it. Adjustable and custom settings.

    The game would be set in highly immersive and aesthetic 3D environments wherein the player would be an inanimate object part of it that navigates the plains of a particular setting. The sole purpose would be to simply explore with no addictive objectives in which to attain, without inducing anxiousness and tension. For example, my first idea is to use a space galaxy setting with the player being a star. The player could navigate space past milk-ways, meteorites, planets and other various objects. The player would be a glowing luminescent star like object orbiting space consuming other small stars in a calming manner. Meditative, binaural sounds ages would accompany the background.

    Functions would include touch screen holding and sensitivity, with slow movements to maintain a nice balance.
    Eventually I would extend the game into other sceneries such as underwater, mystical, jungle, clouds etc. but I would begin with someone like this. I aim at creating an entire platform on self-development games as this is a completely untouched niche.

    Longterm, the game would be a tool that could be implemented in treatment plans for patients within the mental health faculty. Therapists and medical practitioners could use the game as a revolutionary shift from conventional gaming applications.

    Im currently in conversation with game developers at present discussing costs and requirements etc. I plan on investing into this quite soon as I have done research and found there is both a market interest and need. Other game examples include: flower, abzu, flow and journey. Extremely popular and successful games. However, they hold no aim towards these aims I earlier mentioned.

    Having said all this. My question is: if you were to play game of this sort game what features would you like it to have?

    What are some features you would like to see?

    How long would you play a game of this, duration, time?

    Other tips etc?

    Thank you bro that means a lot to me and yes its something i noticed in the business sector and in some way tried to address. There are a lot of people who make money just from becoming a personality and selling courses rather than actual business, which is a massive problem as it basically takes advantage of people just trying to better themselves. But anyway ive got some new podcasts recorded so ill get them up soon, keep doing your thing bro B|

    Yeah couldn’t agree more! A lot f misleading methods out there really. I noticed you said you don’t do private label which is interesting. I’m doing private label for both Amazon and Shopify and resonated with what you had said. It’s much harder to start up but can become a huge pay off once you get going ?

    Did I understood Leo's strategy correctly:

    1. Raising your career capital by first creating relatively low consciousness small scale projects (addictive / catchy / appeal to basic human instincts). Yet not harmful.

    2. Using the gained capital to create higher consciousness products that bring more value to the world but require a bigger budget.

    The core of the projects would be innovation and creativity. While your values,interests and life purpose would serve as a compass to focus your creativity like a laser beam.

    Is that so?

     

     

     

    It’s relatively easy and doable to find a decent ethical job that pays your way until you can gain the necessary funds.

    The biggest thing you need to forget are SHORTCUTS.

    Avoid them, have a long term horizon completely predicated on the overall objective not how long it takes. Be a visionary enamoured by your ideas to change th world, then find ways to put them in practice.

    Its not enough to simply start a business. You need to be intrinsically driven by an idea. It needs to completely demolish your need for hedonistic gain and be a landmark for powerful change in the world. It can begin small and be scaled up. You don’t have to be the next Elon Musk. Just find a way to use your skills to innovate something either yourself or within a company. 

    But sure as hell avoid the easy route, for it becomes the hard route in the end.

    Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I noticed a lot of really feminine girls spin this sort of love fairy tale about how her man magically fell in love with her, etc when from my perspective it seems like her guy was just on the hunt and sort of made things happen. Why doe girls sort of spin this fairy tales around this?

    take this conversation I was having with a friend (open image in new tab). basically this guy broke her heart a few years ago that was a player and she went on a sort of reckless sex filled spree after of partying. apparently he still texts her. is this just passion? it doesn't really seem like a sturdy form of a relationship. 

    Personally, I feel because it removes the underlying fear of their partner not being a potential match. If you believe you’ve already found ‘the one’, all effort in pursing that objective can be now put to rest. In other words, its a self fulfilling prophecy that eliminates the need to validate finding the “one”. It crudely fills the void, so to speak

    A lot of people over look the simple fact that almost anyone could be ‘the one’, it’s a matter of perspective and situational susceptibility. One can accustom their personality to any person, and we see many do this depending on how needy or desperate their aim for a relationship may be. The whole ‘soul partner’ is a fabrication of ones mind.

    Excellent stuff bro. I think your advice can apply to people of all ages as well, Ive noticed a lot of people have a core belief that certain things are just not possible, i really believe if this can be challenged by the person and they just start something they will learn and progress so much. Me personally i do like business but would like to incorporate more things that im passionate about like psychology, coaching, sports and discover new things as well, the journey never ends. 

    For sure! People can apply their learning to anything, even things as simple as living skills. It’s such a lost cause when we overlook the immense opportunities we have afforded to us by technology.

    Ps. I forgot to mention some weeks ago I explored your podcast and listened to a few episodes. I found it great and insightful to listen to. Keep up the good work! You seem very genuine in what you speak, something which is extremely needed in the business sector :)

    My meditation practice is still a means to an end, I have a vision of it eventually being an end in itself but I currently don’t really enjoy it. 

    I’ve found that after about 20 minutes of meditation I start losing focus and the only thing that’s on my mind is stopping. I know that I can push it and suffer through it but that’s not the point of this post. 

    When do you think I’ll start enjoying it? Do you enjoy your meditation practice? How long did it take you until you started enjoying it for its own sake?

    This is quite a common problem. It usually has to do with the intellect attempting to overanalyse.

    A good practice is to do a fully relaxation method prior to meditating or during it, in intervals. For example, shamanic breathing, observation by staring into an object, relaxing through image visualisation, mantra meditation etc.

    Find an exercise you can do to still the mind whilst entering meditation and exiting it. I find this to be most helpful when the mind is far too active.

    I feel a thread of this kind would be immensely beneficial for starting a conversation around small business start up, art, creativity and those passionate about pursing a career.

    The reason in making this post is to inspire young people to get out there and just begin creating something for god sake. 

    There’s so much opportunity we are drowning in it.

    I’m often bewildered when I see many people spending their spare time eating chips while incessantly watching Netflix or partying and drinking, when conversely, they could be studying or working on a life changing career project.

    I do, however, get that this is the current state of human society, to be deeply immersed in the most time wasting distractions known to man.

    As of right now I have been working on my own business projects for the last couple of years years and it has been nothing short of immense fulfilment beyond belief.

    For instance, I’ve written and released a short book as can been seen below.

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084RNZZDC

    Also created the beginning of a journal line as can be seen below...

    https://eunimity.com.au/products/the-mini-introspection-reflection-journal

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B16X5YF?ref=myi_title_dp

    I am also artist whom makes hand made art and occasionally sells them..

    https://eunimity.com.au/pages/artwork-by-jacob-ryan

    Additionally, I’m also working on numerous other side projects such a titanium tool brand and a few game apps.

    In the future, I plan on starting my own art therapy practice, creating a self cleaning drink bottle, writing more books, developing numerous products in different industries and holding mobile workshops around art and psychology. As well as advanced study to bolster my degree completed last year.

    I’ve learnt a ridiculous plethora of insight on marketing, branding, and creative refinement during this time.

    I’ve had some large pitfalls early in the early stages of business but things are now smoothing out.

    So this is my leading example to inspire others to begin doing something engaging with their life.

    Get out there and do something. Create something powerful in the world. Begin a project, learn a skill, start a business, volunteer, travel, help the world. Become a master.

    Boredom is a figment of the imagination and does not exist if passion courses throughout you. I encourage all to endlessly seek out theirs. Life is far more profound when doing so.

    Would love to hear others stories on a similar journey or what your aspire for in the future ?

    Thansks for the input. Would you study it again? Why/ why not?

    Yeah I know. I can study that on my own hovewer outside of school. Than I get both.

    @Jacobsrw

    Interesting responses. You seem to be genuinely interested in the field which is really great to hear. Sorry it was hard to tell by your first post. 

    So for myself, yeah I would study it again but only if I could find more philosophy subjects to go along with it as electives. I feel that is by far the biggest pitfalls of psychology nowadays, is its denouncing of philosophy. The very thing that made it what it first was.

    I plan to do further study, maybe masters etc. as I have aims to operate my own practice. See what happens though as I am working on my own business at the moment.

    I see why psychology is an important choice for you, considering it’s applicability when working with people and implementing therapy. But it could also be beneficial looking at areas such as counselling too. I personally found that immensely enjoyable.

    Study the works of Milton Erickson, Jay Haley, Gregory Bateson and Salvador Minuchin. These guys founded strategic therapy and systemic therapy. Very powerful aspects of psychology. Particularly, Milton Erickson he was an immensely interesting psychotherapist working in the area of hypnotherapy for his patients. Paradoxical interventions are an intriguing read.

    As the title. 

    Important to note, I live in Sweden where the university education is free + you get some money. My goal is to master psychology and than do public speaking. Will becoming a psychologist be worth my time? ( according to you guys, I want your thoughts) Thank you?

    @Leo Gura

    I finished my degree last year and can say it provides somewhat decent value in understanding cognition, society and academic writing. Also helped with my communication and composure. However, there are many pitfalls.

    As @Moksha has mentioned it can be extremely valuable in a human behavioural sense. Yet as for deep faculties in human life and reality you need to study much broader and nuanced areas. Such as Existentialism, Transpersonal psychology, metaphysics, mysticism and ontology. Pretty much any philosophy on human mind and life is beneficial. Studying psychology in University is yields barely m any significance in this regard. It scratches the surface of these topics at most.

    The bigger question do you see yourself doing this as a full time career in 5 years time? Do you yearn to learn this area of study? Do you have interest in human behaviour and the sciences? Or is this just a prerequisite study aim?

    I've noticed the quality of consciousness on this forum seems to be decreasing. I remember a few years ago it seemed to be more focused on raising your consciousness and there wasn't a lot of influence from the outside. 

    It seems now that there is more freedom for people to be themselves, at whatever level they're at. This causes the forum to be mixed with other ideologies and belief patterns that didn't originate from here. I don't know lol. It just seems like a free for all ?

    Over-saturation, more ego, yay ?

     

    That’s to be expected when gaining a bigger audience. Years back the forum was more concentrated. But as Leo’s channel has grown so has the diversity of his listeners. 

    It could be a positive in that more people from lower stages are being acquainted with deeper work and more genuine aspects of life. As such, we as earlier adopters are afforded the opportunity to support and raise them up opposed to denegrating them.

    The forum still holds massive value nonetheless. It just depends what threads you are gravitating towards. Just like YouTube, there are plenty of high quality channels but they can be seemingly drowned out by poor quality ones if your attention is excessively given to them.

    Hello dear people, 

     

    My question is more towards people that have reached ultimate truth and knowledge of emptiness in order to find out if it is is possible to never ever get bored again no matter the circumstances? 

     

    I am asking because imagine you are somewhere totally alone, you are unemployed, you have no friends, no pets, no activities. 

    But you are experienced in enlightenment techniques that showed you the emptiness of reality that actually nothing exists. Basically you shouldnt get bored in these circunstances.

    But why did we incarnate in the first place?  In order to experience something, in order to do something, to interact with others. 

     

    What is your opinion? Can total enlightenment make it impossible for somebody ever get bored again with nothing to do nothing to interact with but still experiencing the existence as a human being? 

     

    I am asking this because I sometimes imagine living alone in naturr and not even sell anything but just to live off the air and nature around me. I know it's possible due to the prana energy from the plants but is it possible not to get bored also? 

    One does not have to be enlightened to have boredom not overcome them.

    I am not enlightened and I never experience boredom. There’s far too much to do in life to ever get bored. Boredom usually stems from a deeper issue, such as that of psychological dependency.

    I wouldn’t say boredom is the best measure of enlightenment since it is far to relative. Ones attention to the present moment and absence of thought is probably a measure.

    But If you experience boredom I would estimate you aren't being creative or engaged enough in life.

    Boredom is a fabrication of the mind in an attempt to mask how much there is actually to do.

    The period that is Corona virus times has brought me so many profound gifts. One e.g., showing me the places in which I need to heal and grow. As a result of this I begun sessions of EMDR which I can only describe as 'gift' like. The majority of the most profound gifts come disguised as pain and suffering, this is something else I have come to learn.

    My question to you is, what has / is Corona virus brought for you? ❤️

    Awesome so glad for you!

    I agree. The joy of happiness is invariably counterbalanced by the pain of sufferring.

    For me it’s informed me to execute opposed to spending endless time pondering. I’ve started a large amount of projects since COVID and really got my hands dirty in the business world.

    Its also taught me the fundamental importance of human connection of which I rarely entertain due to my insular ways, spending most of my time studying and creating.

    Great blessings lie in deep suffering. We then realise the suffering never existed to begin with.

    Disclaimer: this is NOT about finding a long-term relationship, because that is not something I’ve mastered. I’m talking purely about casual dating and sex.

    I’ve been reading this subforum lately and felt compelled to write this, because I get the feeling that most guys who post here need to hear this perspective. I see posts about how only looks matter, or about how it’s money, or charisma and extroversion, or whatever else. I see posts complaining about the online dating world, or the offline dating world, or how women only pick douchebags and assholes, or whatever else. And, first of all, whenever you start writing a post of that nature, or indulge in such thoughts in your mind, you’ve already significantly hindered your ability to get laid. That’s the first thing. And that’s because focusing on how you’re not getting what you want only leads you further away from what you want. Aside from the whole spiritual “law of attraction” aspect (I won’t be going into that at all), it demonstrates a lack of resourcefulness, and I can sense it a mile away from some of these posts.

    Now, don’t get me wrong, money and looks are assets in the dating world, there’s no doubt about it. However, they are not IT. IT is resourcefulness. If you really think about it, what money signals to a woman is the man’s resourcefulness. His ability to go out and get what he wants. His ability to assert himself in the world and make his desired reality go from desired to actual. That’s resourcefulness and that’s what women reward, whether they know it consciously or not. A woman wants a guy who wants her and who has the ability to get her. This sounds circular, but I can’t put it any more clearly. Much of what she’s reading off you when she’s getting to know you is your resourcefulness. Unconsciously, they’re screening you: “Does this guy sleep with attractive girls like me? Can he make it happen?”

    I’m going to use my real-life examples to argue the point, otherwise this will all be theory. First of all, I don’t have money and never have. I have enough to get by, but I’ve never accumulated any savings, and I make it a point to not pay for the women I date. I will occasionally buy them a drink, when I actually feel like doing so, and that’s it. If they’re expecting me to pick up the check, I don’t. So much for the money factor.

    You might think that I have looks then. Well, nowadays I guess I’m considered handsome, but this wasn’t always the case, not even by a long shot. I remember being ranked by teenage girls from my class as below average. I didn’t kiss a girl until I was 18. I was always shorter than most guys I hung out with, too skinny, and I still have crooked teeth. I have never had women flirting with me as I was growing up, and I would see them go for friends of mine, or strangers, always thinking that my looks were the problem. Today, I have maximized my looks because I am resourceful. I have one good outfit that looks good on me and I wear it on dates. I use a professional photo on my dating app profiles that makes me look good.

    You might think I’m very charismatic or extroverted then. Nope, I’m an introvert with low energy. I don’t do dancing monkey game, and I’m not particularly funny. I don’t do asshole game either. In fact, these days I don’t game at all. I’m completely and utterly myself, without apologies or insecurities. I accept every outcome.

    Then you might think that it’s because of where I live (though I've only lived here for 2 years). I live in Asia as a white man, and everybody knows that white men in Asia have it so easy. Well, throughout my life I’ve slept with women from 40 different countries, from all continents and backgrounds. So it’s safe to say that it goes beyond geography or culture.

    So what is it then? Simple, I’m resourceful. I make shit happen. I spent two years learning seduction because I wasn’t happy with the way I related with the opposite sex. That’s resourcefulness. I approached well over a thousand (maybe two thousand, who’s counting?) women during the daytime, on the streets of multiple cities throughout the world, learning as I went along. That’s resourcefulness. I got rejected by more women than I can remember, and just kept going and trying again. That’s resourcefulness. I consciously pushed boundaries and lost girls so that I could learn where the limits are and how much you can get away with. That’s resourcefulness. I’ve pushed through the limitations of logistics by leading women to sex on hostel bathrooms, kitchens, or buildings under construction, making shit happen where most men would have given up. That’s resourcefulness. I can fly to any city in the world, by myself, and within anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, I will sleep with an attractive girl there, whether it’s online or offline dating. That’s resourcefulness. When I think of a place where I want to live, you bet I'm going to take women and dating into consideration, along with many other aspects. Are the women there attractive? What about my perceived attractiveness? Maximizing that is resourcefulness.

    I still remember one time, in Lithuania, when I was teaching myself how to approach women. Early morning, I approached this cute girl who turned out to be completely available, so I spent most of the day with her. I was awkward on escalation back then, so I made a bunch of mistakes along the way. Of course, she picked up on these and rejected me. I just kept at it, pushing whenever I saw the opportunity, and at a certain point she let me kiss her and then said: "wow, you're a fighter, huh?". She didn't sleep with me, because I clearly didn't feel like I deserved her at the time, but the point had been made. What did I do after that? I accepted the rejection, continued to approach other women, and kept learning and developing my skills.

    This is what you want to develop. Develop your resourcefulness. It won’t happen overnight, nothing worthwhile ever does. Just don’t accept defeat by any means, if it doesn't work then try something different. Just try again, and again, and again. Learn from you mistakes. And have fun along the way ?

    Develop your resourcefulness. I’d agree with this premise but my question would be what’s the intrinsic payoff in such an act? Not not picking, just interested. Is casually sleeping with women the pay off? Or the development of confidence and self-governance? What are you truly seeking from pursing this objective?

    For example, do you have a fulfilling creative outlet or is this your outlet at present?

    I tried the whole casual sleeping with women thing a while back and found it to be quite shallow and fruitless. Most of the time it’s a bottomless one night fling or unintended attachment ensues.

    If this type of life is something you enjoy that’s cool but I found it quite toxic and inauthentic. I prefer mingling and seeing where things go. Develop friendships, network or possibly take things further if it so eventuates. I never solely intend to expend my sexual resources however.

    Your thoughts?

    I watched this sometime back and can imagine the frustration to those who have experienced a psychedelic experience, I myself being one. However, I see Ruperts point here.

    It makes sense that no experience can represent infinity since it is but only one expression of many others that can be represented. If an experience was infinite it would mean it is inevitably formless which they are not. Only that which has no form can be classified infinite as it is not limited to any particular experience, it can be any.

    A blank canvas can not not revel all possible colours if itself is not a colour.

    So it could be said that psychedelic experiences are a modulation of infinity not infinity itself.

    @Jacobsrw so I'm responding to you why exactly when all you're doing is reading my comments upside down it seems? 

    You seem more interested in simply saving face than facing the truth of your door jamming against your own fingers.

    Seriously this will make for some humour, quote exactly where I made the claims you said I did? 

    Also quote exactly how you managed to logically refute my own claims, even more humorously, without stabbing yourself in the humour throat. Bloods spitting everywhere and the crowd of the Colleseum goes wild! "Kill they chant" he is already beheaded I retort! 

    You just say fluffy words without logically connecting to anything original or noteworthy in light of the rest of the discussion, I do the former but I always make sure I connect with the latter, because that's just what gods brain does.

    I’m more than happy to have a proper discussion with you but you seem more interested in deploying untenable slander. Thats cool you do you.

    Firstly, your made a claim using genetic biology as the basis of your argument as to explain culture, from which you assume attraction is derived.  Which I claimed is groundless and substantiated by material scientific testimony. Furthermore, I claimed culture explains the function of modern attraction more so than biology, since all material scientific endeavours are erected by the metaphysics of concept and language (both immaterial properties derived by culture itself) which is mind, which is concept, both divorced fabrications from reality. The attraction we see today is a learnt social conditioning upheld by the developments of culture and society not predisposed biology. That was my claim in opposition to yours. So in sum, what you claim is equivalent to the belief in evolution. Crudely debunked and denounced by many researchers of today. Take that as you will.

    We have far left the topic at hand so I will leave my responses here since little has come of what we have discussed between us.

    Ps. I recommend humbling yourself too in your communication with others. You appear to come off quite arrogant and narcissistic. Apologies if this is found offensive, just something to consider.

    Any-who, good luck to you sir ?

    @Origins What a story my friend. You seem to desirably go on irrelevant tangents to entertain topics with no relatability to the subject matter.

    Personally I disagree with your assessment of culture. You have it completely backwards in my view. Genetics is an emerging property of culture. How can you not see this? Your mind is right now doing such an act. Genetics is a theoretical proposition stemmed by the metaphors of language and concept which cultures have collectively created. These theoretical positions you so firmly revere are founded by the minds of scientists assuming the objectivity of a material reality, which is an illusory hallucination at work. The materialistic paradigm is a fabricated mental presupposition one then conveniently applies to reality.

    I feel you undermine the metaphysics of language, culture and the mind, thereby, fortifying materialistic aspects of human society to fit a naive realist view of the world. They are but one factor to explain life and  do very little to explain the very core existential domains of self and existence. Fundamentally, they are ambiguous abstractions from reality.

    Yes the other factors you mentioned are important (class, attachment, historical predispositions etc.) I agree. However, I was using a general schema to asses the dating culture between that age group. Which seems far more enduring than you are giving it credit. This was not intended to be an encyclopaedia analysis for which a thread could never account for. For that we would need much more breathing room. Also I never spoke of other countries, my critique was directed toward developed western societies specifically.

    Please refrain from incessant insults, it’s not a good look on a forum of this type nor the integrity nor  maturity of your responses.

    @Jacobsrw Leo could ban me it wouldn't bother me, he knows I'm right as well and so do you. 

    I mean anyone with a braincell can see through the dumb arguments you're proposing. 

    "The prettier the girl..."

    Dude is that your one fucking mathematical dimension? Albert Einstein here... She could also be stupid, narcissistic, drugged out, poor upbringing, badly educated. You've gotta work on developing your demographics.

    Let me tell you how it actually works.

    You have three main parts of the brain here that are theoretically speaking most important.

    1. The reptilian brain

    2. The limbic system

    3. The prefrontal cortex

    Let's see if you understand that last one because so far not as you've not at all addressed my points you've just simply reacted with your reptilian brain underneath because you saw the word "fuck".

    Now you're using one metric, "the prettier the girl", what does that actually day about her brain? Zero. What do your conclusions actually say about a woman's choice? She only selects with her reptilian brain and limbic system, more so the reptilian brain.

    So basically you've insulted all intelligent women with your juvenile assessments.

    What so you found a correlation between women with high beauty and therefore on average scoring higher in sexual market value selecting guys with more higher survival value in the jungle? Big fucking deal. You want a medal?

    Do you think you've arrived at some Einsteinian assessment here? Isaac Newton please fall from the sky to show us how gravity works here!

    How about the women that have an above average IQ and higher? How about women who incrementally get higher scores educationally, financially, intellectually, spiritually and more? 

    Ever heard of spiral dynamics? Shit like that, it matters how far up the spiral a guy is if the female is high up.

    Does this mean that reptilian characteristics don't matter for chicks that score higher on these other things? Of course not.

    What you're really saying here is that you think most women are stupid and most guys aren't cut out to make it in the wild to be selected by women in the mediaeval sense.

    So what's the solution if your theory is correct? 

    Both guys and gals gotta get more wild and more intelligent. But there's more...

    You've added zero knowledge to the forum or me but look what I've done for you now youve got a neatly packaged 3 brain way of organising sexual selection that you still need to make unique for your chosen partner if you have or get one which will still be very nuanced and ultimately unique there.

    Let me say those three stages in a different way.

    1. What gets them rowdy? 

    2. What makes them have fun?

    3. What makes them think?

    That describes selection from still a simplistic level but ultimately still more sophisticated level than what you've described. People want the best right balance between the three brains if they can get it, but they're extremely biased in other ways the deeper they go into relationships.

    You're also talking solely about the initial stages of attraction, there's still many more factors that come into play the deeper into a relationship you go to (past histories, attachment style, personality, intersecting life paths, more).

    Thanks for being yet another user on here that talks shit with little substance. You're probably just a butt hurt "red piller" where they've been spinning the same nonsense for years. There's kernels of truth sure, but does it really take a genius to figure out that if you look like a snail you're not going to get laid? There's no need to make a speech about it on this forum. 

    Just move on now. At the very least don't link me anymore you've just been destroyed already by others and now me.

    Again you are making groundless ad-hominem attacks. Stick to the topic instead of the speaker from which it comes, clearly intellectual integrity is of no importance.

    I don’t agree with your scientific assessment. I am aware of those functions of the brain you mentioned within the biology of a human. However, I do not agree with your proposition that simply they constitute the basis of a humans drive regarding attraction. You’ve missed the most important part of this dilemma which is culture and transmuted conditioning, something I first mentioned to begin with. That is by far more influential than merely ones neurological make up. Epigenetic's attests to such a claim. One basis attraction toward another according to the society from which they live within and the standards it purports. You weren’t innately born attracted to a particular type of appearance, you learnt to be.

    I made my argument based on demographics between ages 20-30 which you also seemingly overlooked. Above this age, attraction disperses into other more elaborate areas. Before this it’s premature and quite crude. You should be able to evidently observe this just simply by assessing spiral dynamics stage orange.

    And no you have misunderstood my argument. I stated women who fit the stereotypical attractiveness veer toward males deemed more shallow in their personality and interests. Refer to my character types above. If you have not observed this along a spiral dynamic lineage than you have undermined earlier discussions on ego development.

    I never stated prettier women have a lower IQ or intellectual capacity, that is your input you have masked over my thread. I was referring to males and their value systems, interests and personality which pretty women seem to be attracted. That is merely a reptilian explanation.
