@LifeMathMoney …real. Some were always platonic, some were ex GFs or ex FBs, some were collaborators/colleagues. Having women in your life is good. Just don’t come across asexual or gay, don’t try to sneak your way in via the friend zone and don’t let anyone use you as free male labor.
@LifeMathMoney 2/2 3. Went for a walk with a former FB. We bumped into multiple female acquaintances of mine and then joined her yoga friends for lunch. Free social proof. 4. Collaborated on art projects with a girl who bigs me up on social media. So for me the benefits have been…
@Pat_Stedman I don’t really understand the point of the Red Pillers / Manosphere. At least the PUAs had tangible goals and many eventually got married and had children. RP and MS is just angry and bitter with very little end product.
@Bowtiedsocial That’s something I struggle with. People that aren’t strangers or friends. The acquaintances in between. The medium zone, not too shallow, not too deep.
@EndWokeness Maybe it’s a 4D chess move by Nolan? He was getting pressure from Hollywood to be more inclusive so he went all out. Then the movie will bomb and he can tell the studios to leave him alone if they want to make a profit.
@nomanautomata So much of ‘growing up’ seems to involve pleasing other people though. Why? What’s in it for me? I want to live a life that is meaningful to ME. (I’m not advocating for living with your parents and not working)
@re4mat0r I can see how this is necessary if your sense of humour is reliant on making references to pop culture from your youth. The other option is to have your own sense of humour.
@femalenatured Social proof helps me. What should I do? NOT share the results of my hard work just to make it harder for myself? I did it the hard way coming up, now I want to make it easier for myself.
@GirlsChase The hard part for me wasn’t why but how. @tannerguzy helped me a lot but it’s never been easy for me. Just looking at GQ never really worked for me since generically ‘well dressed” doesn’t fit my personality or lifestyle.
@SIGMAPROFESSOR It works if you’re actually doing something in your alone time: business, art, exercise. Then you have something to share with the world when you emerge. But don’t think you will automatically be appreciated you have to promote yourself.
Get over the idea that you have to be a contributing member of society or that your existence must be justified.
Constantly in a rush to explain why your current state is good or acceptable. It is theatre. Once you relax into yourself, that 'purpose' comes to you as a gentle light. You are finally honest, and you sense when it is true. And because truth is inner spark, it never diminishes: over time, it becomes a roaring flame of great intensity. You allow it to shape your life accordingly.
