Most Dating Books/Teachers Aren't Exceptional

I am proud of how far we have come as a community. In the past, a conversation like this would have spiraled down to the seventh hell.

There’s no way this would have borne fruit.

Thanks everyone for growing together, and clearing this place up to be this clean.

It will never be 100% clean but this is very good.

Nerd forum?

This forum is very non-technical. People here are quite intuitive and loose, not formal.

Nerdiness is the quality of having a deep, passionate, and single-minded enthusiasm for intellectual, technical, or niche subjects.

Can't a deep enthusiasm about non-formal thinking and spirituality be seen as nerdy?

People who can't identify nerds might be nerds, not to be mean haha.

Leo had to ban lots of trolls and weirdos in order to reach this level. Most online interactions with people are slightly above trash. Because there are no consequences when you are online. This shows me how animals we still are as society. We only behave when there are consequences.

 

LOL: 1000 posts. Yay! Finally, after 8 years here.

I would say yes and no man.

I mean it is all butterflies until one poke another's ego. But yea, you're right. If they agree on the subject it is usually ok. Echo chamber online interactions are ok 😂

By that definition, who isn't a nerd?

A nerd is just someone who's passionate about something? Lol

yeh but it does also encompass for me; everything that is passion & related to mind activities/abstractions. ( yeh ok all is mind, but you can't be a nerd of soccer or bakery for instance )

I kinda like that this work is a bit nerdy. You can't say someone like Ken Wilber isn't a consciousness nerd 

[Leo Gura]

So a girl who's really into make-up, is a nerd?

That's the problem I have with the nerd definition.

A cheerleader who's really passionate about cheerleading or Taylor Swift, now qualifies as a nerd.

To me nerd means a technical intellect. STEM people are the true nerds. Academics are nerds.

I would like to be less biased towards women.

I'm personally working on that. And I hope you guys do the same.

This is a natural consequence of our commitment towards Truth. Truth should make us less biased.

I would call them magicians. Whenever they appear, all the women disappear.

Can't call them that since they reject magic.

That's called a geek

never forget that Stephen Hawking got laid.

 

Jokes aside, regarding the scandenavian/Euro women, i've been noticing on netflix tons of these movies and shows (Cocks (dutch), Alpha Males (spain), The year i started masturbating (sweden), Dudes (germany)  that are just making an absolute mockery of men and masculinity and framing men as completely useless and clownlike with the equality of genders today. The women make more money men, the men have trouble making decisions and have serious insecurity around their masculinity. I think it points to a larger pattern and the changing times. I just find it really interesting watching these European shows and movies and how brutally they portray men as these fumbling idiots who are basically rendered useless.
