Men are more unhappy without sex
A study examined the extent to which Norwegians are satisfied with their singlehood, and to determine the association between being single and sexual activity.
A majority of single respondents reported being satisfied with being single.
A higher percentage of gay, bisexual, and transmen than heterosexual men was satisfied with being single.
LGBT+ men may be able to obtain male sexual partners more readily than heterosexual men can female sexual partners, in part because of men’s greater interest in casual sex.
A higher percentage of women than men, and more women aged 60 years or older than women under the age of 60, were satisfied with being single.
Heterosexual women with no sexual activity in the past 12 months were more satisfied with being single than women who had been sexually active.
Heterosexual women who were least satisfied were those who had masturbated and had sexual intercourse.
This implies that women without access to a committed partner may “turn off their sex drive altogether, and not longing for something they do not have.
The men who were most satisfied with being single were those who had masturbated and/or had sexual intercourse, and least satisfied were those with no sexual activity, or exclusively masturbation activity.

Intelligent people struggle with addiction. Their minds need more. More depth. More to disappear into. They have obsessions nobody around them shares. Philosophy. Literature. Astronomy. Documentaries. Quantum physics. Dostoevsky. Kant. Books, music, films, ideas they've gone so deep into that ordinary conversation starts to feel like small talk. And small talk feels like suffocation. So... they drink. Work until 2 am. Doomscroll until they feel nothing. Because there is a gap between who you are and the conversations available to you. And sometimes, that gap becomes unbearable. And it's one of the loneliest places a person can live.
The Bible says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge,” yet Adam and Eve were punished for gaining knowledge. Make it make sense. Justice for Adam and Eve! 😭
insane mozi sales advice
volume negates luck. that's the whole lesson, and almost nobody actually believes it.
- probability, not luck, is why volume works. send enough calls, enough emails, enough outreach, and results become statistically inevitable, not lucky. the word "luck" is just what people call probability when they haven't done the math
- you're supposed to suck at the start. nobody's good at something they've never done before. the ego hit of being bad is what makes most people quit, not the actual difficulty of the skill
- an early win can mess you up more than a slow start. close a deal on your first call and you'll spend the next hundred no's wondering what you're doing wrong, when really you just hit the gold nugget early and now have to sift through the same volume everyone else does, just later
- progress isn't binary. it's not "closed" or "didn't close." there are a dozen smaller skills stacking underneath that first deal, opening better, handling the hang-up, holding a real conversation, each one is progress even without a close attached to it
- the only way to acquire skill is volume. you don't get luckier by waiting to feel ready, you get luckier by doing the reps until the outcome stops being random and starts being earned
- ask yourself what "reasonable" actually looks like. it's not reasonable to expect top 1% results after a month of learning something brand new. it is reasonable to expect real competence after a year, and mastery after several
- most people quit while building the wrong bridge. they learn 2-3 of the 10 skills required, hit a wall, and jump to a completely different opportunity instead of finishing what they started, then repeat that same half-built pattern somewhere else
the only real question worth asking yourself: would it be unreasonable for you to still be bad at this in a year, if you actually did the reps the entire time?
if the answer's no, the only thing standing between you and the outcome is volume you haven't put in yet.
If you’ve experienced trauma early in life…
Be grateful.
You have a huge advantage over those who had everything handed to them.
Money can’t buy life experience.
Cold calling is a skill that everyone knows it works, few doing it and very few use it to maximize revenue.
Stop caring so much about getting your clients via emails, paid ads, organic.
Yes all of that works but why wouldn't you get FAST FEEDBACK from your offer.
Think you crack the best business idea of the century ? cold call 100 people and see who buys and who don't care.
Can cost as $0 if you use your mobile phone.
Simplest way to get some cash.
5 reasons why you’re still broke:
1. You’re not shameless: you’re not ready to change your life for good if you still care about what people who won’t feed you will say. Nobody cares about you like that. Everyone’s busy trying to figure out their lives. Do what’s best for you.
Getting rejected is part of the job.
If you understand this, then you know you still have to go out and hunt every day. Whether you catch something or not, you still have to go hunt to get food. You have to show up.
Sales may not be for everybody. But I believe more people are capable of doing this than they think they are.
Mostly, the reason I see people fail in sales is because they give up. They don't stick with it long enough to actually get good. They don't give it their best effort. They don't show up. It's something they could technically develop the skill set for. They just don't want to put in the work required to get good.
if u just do sales & buy btc u can lap 99.9% of degree career nerds
keep living costs low and invest everything 1 full cycle
u will end up 200x richer than these career dudes who lifestyle inflate like Mf’s
career dudes sit back waiting for their salary to increase by 5%
while real yearly inflation is actually like 10% 😭
if the sheep’s knew how truly cooked the fiat currencies are
they’d have a heart attack
u have to invest to outrun the new economy
inflation has cooked it
I’m begging you to kill your fear of being seen. Visibility is your birthright, People need to know you. Infact, treat showing up as putting out data that will help your people find you. You’re not showing up to and for everybody, you’re showing up to and for your people!
volume is one of the fastest ways to detach from the outcome in sales.
when you only have 3 opportunities, every call feels like it has to work. you start reading into every pause, protecting every maybe, following up too much, and giving average opportunities way more importance than they deserve.
then you call it a mindset problem.
sometimes it isn’t.
sometimes your pipeline is just too fucking small.
when you have 30 real opportunities, one prospect saying no doesn’t change your week. you can ask harder questions, disqualify bad fits, hold your position, and let dead deals die.
not because you suddenly became more confident.
because no single deal has enough power over you to change how you sell.
volume creates options.
options create detachment.
detachment creates better decisions.
i hate poverty so much.
It turns you into a people pleaser. You avoid conflict because you can't afford to lose access, help, opportunities.
It makes you overexplain. You feel the need to justify your existence, choices, or mistakes , it shuts you up.
Worst thing u can ever do is become a salty, cautious man
No matter how many times u lose, get rejected, try and get humiliated
You cannot allow yourself to turn into those losers that warn you of everything since they tried and lost and quit
You cant quit and start to hate and spread your failure stories to the guys still playing
You must not allow that sore loser to be born
You must remain a player
Only then can you become a winner
One of the greatest cheat codes in life is to never get offended. Train yourself to have thick skin. Don't take things personally. Let others disagree with you. Being easily offended means you're easily manipulated. If you value peace of mind, avoid getting offended.
the thing that sets me apart is that i do not have a single limiting belief.
i am 100% convinced i will be a billionaire.
i am 100% convinced i am luckier than most people.
i am relentlessly positive about outcomes.
i believe any idea can work. if it doesn't, that's a skill issue.
i don't consume any negative news media. i believe the world is 99% fantastic.
i have massive dreams about what i want to achieve. dreams that even my own friends and family think are fucking nuts.
but when i look back at what i've done so far, i've already crushed the goals people around me said were unrealistic.
on the surface i'm a completely normal person. internally i am 100% convinced i can achieve and have anything i want.
the universe rewards you handsomely when you don't limit yourself, take shots, and work hard.
i surprise myself constantly with what i pull off day to day. purely because there are no invisible walls or ceilings in my head telling me i can't.
