Stick your own weiner in your own butt.

Personally I’d like a girlfriend, mostly because I’m lonely. However most of the girls I meet aren’t people I’d like to hang out with again.

It’s not that they are mean or rude or whatever. Although that not unusual. It’s more that they are not interested.

Like sure they might desire me on occasion. That’s great but they very rarely ask questions. They just talk about whatever they got on their mind.

TLDR: Women don’t make me feel seen, so I’m not excited about hanging out with them.

It’s not that we “need” a partner in the same way we need food or water..but romantic and sexual connection is still a human need..just a different kind of need. For example..you don’t need to read philosophy books.. yet people are naturally drawn to questioning life and searching for meaning beyond everyday survival. That curiosity seems almost instinctive. Animals generally focus only on material survival while humans seek emotional and intellectual ..and spiritual fulfillment as well.

In the same way..the attraction between men and women is extremely difficult to ignore or transcend and  perhaps it was never meant to be. Life can be harsh especially for men and many people feel that having a loving partner provides emotional balance comfort and a sense of completeness.  Men have what women lack : strength and leadership. Women have what men lack: beauty and love. Romance and  sex can significantly improve your happiness and overall quality of life that there is no need to mention it .

Of course everyone has their own perspective and standards. Your partner does not have to look like a perfect Hollywood “10/10” ..but most people are naturally drawn to attractive people That’s simply part of human nature.

You got us here. What more do you need? You got yourself over there and us in here. We are a single continuous unit.

It's such a lie we are told by Hollywood that we can find some perfect partner 🤣

Literally the only way to happiness is to love yourself. If someone matches that level of self- love then fine, let's go on our merry way. But acceptance of your aloneness is what will bring you ultimate joy and peace.

That's why I bought MYSELF a wedding ring.

And I genuinely need no one else! 🤣

Love yourself and then find a great woman/man. It's a skill issue nothing to do with Hollywood. What part of it was so hard for yo?

I've arrived at a similar point. 

After 10 years of hardcore pickup, I'm completely burnt out on dating and women.

I remember walking through the mall after having a very weird and ambiguous dream that alluded to the fact that I was chasing phantoms in relation to dating.

I asked myself: Why do I want a woman, in my life? This was a profound question that I've been grappling with for some time now as I haven't been feeling very motivated to do pickup yet I would still engage with it from an unconscious mindstate. 

However, the answer to the question above was even more profound that the question itself: I don't want a woman. 

Blew my fucking mind to come to that realization.

Women have been my life's biggest distraction. A distraction from my goals, my emotions, my emotional wounds, my solitude, my peace.

In the spirit of the above revelation, Im taking the whole of June off porn, dating apps, social media, girls, etc.

By the end, I hope to have come to some new profound answers as to what role women are meant to play in my life, who I am beyond my previous identity that has brought me til this point or -- if I don't find the answers I need -- then I'd be happy extend it further than just June.

So far, a lot of repressed emotions have been bubbling to the surface: loneliness, anger, resentment, pain, sadness, regret.

But I find the experience of them absolutely beautiful.

@Zenterus What are you working on apart from pickup? Life purpose is definitely a big part of the life puzzle and without it you’ll invariably be bound by chaos. 

[Joseph Maynor]

I'm sensing there is an expectation of being rejected by some people and then an energetic defense to that just becomes part of their personality.

[Mellowmarsh]

One who is content and happy to be alone in their own solitude for all their born life is a true and real God.

God is completely self-existent, sovereign, and without beginning or end. God is not dependent on anything or anyone else for His existence.

 

Alternatively…Successful relationships including Marriage is a human form of legalised slavery demanding full mastery in the art of selfless sacrifice and total commitment. This too, is the artistry of a true and real God. 

Everything in between is the misery self, full of self loathing, pity, existential dread and fear, as man cannot serve two masters.

 

Good luck, and choose wisely, it’s not a mission impossible, because when it comes to God, anything is possible.

[Mellowmarsh]

And remember folks… everyone, everybody, everything is alone in it’s own aloneness. So you are not the only one feeling alone, and that realisation ought surely to bring some sort of comfort and relief. 
 

Happy unmitigated aloneness to you all. 🫵

[Mellowmarsh]

So don’t worry be happy now. Don’t be sad. I mean my God, imagine what it’s like for God. Just remember you can do this, if God can, then surely you can. Come on now, that’s the spirit. 👍

Thank you for your question.

My main pursuit, this period, is my finances and education.

I wanted to be a comic book artist when I was kid and pursued that hardcore until about a couple of years ago. However when I realized how cut-throat that industry is and how little return there is in relation to all the work and passion you pour into these various projects as an artist, I lost my vigour for that pursuit.

So now I'm pursuing a different career and thus educating myself again. This is but a stepping stone, though.

I want to be creative and I have plans for achieving my unique vision. But those plans do require me to have a solid education/job to fall back on, just in case. 

So that's what im busy with.

Also investing in my health, friendships, emotional wounds, and other forms of personal development, as always.

How about you? I see you're really focused on the social circle stuff.

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Getting to such an extreme point of 'renouncing' sounds like cope to deal with internal frustration. So you can release desire.

You don't need renounce anything to let go of painful desires.

We see you in the next topic or you renounce your renouncing

Renounce wanting to be seen.

That's fair, I would say keep the hobbies and vision alive though. I would say it's one of the best times in recent memory to start a comic book and basically create your own IP, with AI agents and generative media it's gonna be possible to create the most alive alternative worlds that humanity has ever created and to do it by yourself/with a small team. I'm actually working on one myself right now!

 

For me I'm in a similar boat of focusing on immediate cashflow to fund my bills and then working on a few separate projects on the side like this Legend of the Abyss IP I've been writing for like 6 months and also want to start a media agency since I host a lot of photoshoots and know a lot of models that would benefit from help with their media creation/marketing so that seems like a big win-win leverage.

Just moved to Montreal so gonna see where I can take this over the summer. A lot of pretty women here boys you wouldn't believe. It wouldn't be a good place go to full MGTOW but then again I think every place on earth is a terrible place to give up on women. There are good times for monk mode periods of focus though, I haven't dated in the past 3 years to focus on the ecosystem I'm building.
