Thanks for the insight.

Thanks. Also, what do you think about asking questions, as when the instructor asks if there are any? Classmates almost never do this either.

Do you mind if I paste this comment or the couple before it to r/college?
/r/seduction08/01/20 05:45 PM

Those all seem plausible.

This is good to know and I think you may be onto a larger teachable moment, so I appreciate it. Is the idea that answering seems try-hard? Or what causes this situation?
/r/seduction08/01/20 05:30 PM

Only in constructive spirit, this got me thinking, so I asked on r/college about consistently answering class questions if no one else answers. The view there is different, but I neglected to mention age, which I see you do. Can you say more about why this is bad?

I’m the furthest thing from an expert, but this is roughly what it took for me initially. The rule was something like 100 approaches = 10 numbers = 3 dates = 1 lay. Not sure about suits.

It’s good to have this perspective, thanks.

Thanks, this makes sense. What are your thoughts on always wearing black clothes?
/r/seduction07/01/20 04:52 PM

I will, thanks. I see the first suggestion is “Stop Being Weird,” so it fits here.
/r/seduction06/01/20 05:37 PM

I appreciate all this. I’m in the US. Only in constructive spirit, let me clarify: it sounds like people associate my look with not having one’s shit together (I’d say I do, though I also don’t own a car as giving up the pleasure of cycling is unappealing). Also, I had thought providing correct answers to move class discussion forward showed leadership, but it’s actually a bad look. True?

Thanks, there is a lot here to go on. I have wavy hair. It’s slightly longer than shoulder length but I was told it’s damaged. Should I just use scissors and cut a few inches off?

I should have written “non-white;” everything I said applies to most non-white guys.
/r/seduction06/01/20 04:17 PM

Thanks. This hits a nail on its head: how could I be more normal but still stand out positively? A friend in an MBA program wears ties, etc. to class, but no one in biology does this. Most wear blue jeans and sweaters, and some wear sports clothes. Essentially all tend to be reticent; when an instructor asks a question there’s almost always dead air unless I answer. I am generally extroverted and people seem to dislike this. I assume that’s because I am usually more emphatic than others, but ten…

White guy here, fwiw. To be blunt but hopefully constructive, I find the premise ironic, because I think that to a large extent white college girls often want black guys, for several reasons. I assume dating is a grind for almost all straight guys, but you may well have an advantage with this, arguably the hottest group. Just my 2c.
/r/seduction06/01/20 03:38 PM

Thanks for this thoughtful answer; it makes sense. Are you also at a university? I also do tall, dark, and long-haired, and most of my gfs have been adjacent to the music category you mention. But now the crowd around me is pre-med students, and I’ll be in grad school relatively shortly. So everyone is generally in the bookish box you described. Most people only seem to have a half-dozen boxes to put people in, so I am thinking I should be more normal. Thoughts?

Thanks. I've tended to wear this outfit a lot. Someone on MaleFashionAdvice said not to, though, saying that because I'm a millennial it would make me look like I was trying to look like a zoomer. Not sure I buy that, but not sure I don't. Thoughts?

Life is way too short to spend one second worrying about this.
/r/seduction30/11/19 05:41 AM

Fair. But it's tantamount to saying "drinking is enervating, sickening, and debilitating--can I get you a drink?"

morals I know next to nothing about any of this stuff, but I don't think adapting to an immoral culture is immoral; I don't perceive moral obligation in that context.
/r/seduction12/10/19 03:11 AM
1

Thanks. What is a good answer? The honest one is that I’ve made a couple of mistakes I don’t want to risk repeating. I don’t quite never drink, but it essentially never appeals. I honestly don’t find the effect worth the costs, especially compared to other drugs I like better.
/r/seduction12/10/19 12:02 AM

Makes sense, thanks.
/r/seduction11/10/19 11:58 PM

Thanks. They never buy me one on the first date, as I set an hour constraint. Think it might be confusing to a barista or bartender if simultaneous cross-buying. E.g., last gf gave me $1000 cash, a MacBook, etc. after a year, and I just bought small items like books, but did cover the drink tab on the first 2-3 dates. Open to change and advice though.
/r/seduction11/10/19 06:17 PM

Understand and agree, as with “I buy one, you buy one.” Invited her to the bar; were it a coffee shop I’d buy her one coffee drink. So it’s the “I buy one” half normally. Thoughts?

I haven't traveled outside my home city much, so I'm not sure of the options elsewhere, including in non-US countries on different continents. I want to lift, go to work, and have sex. All three are pretty strong preferences. And I've had some LTRs I kept going for a couple of years each. Not trying to convince, just clarify, and I appreciate the feedback, even where I disagree.
/r/seduction06/10/19 09:41 PM
1

Understand again, but disagree. I'm in an altruistic field that I chose because it was. It's more that I dislike the culture of sedentism and overconsumption. In an LTR I'd actually rather it be less selfish, in the sense that I'd rather the focus was on activity productive for society, instead of entertainment. I can imagine being with someone who liked to volunteer a lot, but as with working out we'd be busy, possibly limiting conversation. Not sure many girls would go for that either. Regardl…

I know what you mean, and it makes sense, but I'm not the youngest guy, so if I want to keep getting laid I can't stay single forever, right?
/r/seduction06/10/19 08:48 PM

Thanks, that’s good to know.
/r/seduction03/10/19 06:05 PM

Thanks. To clarify, I think I have the potential to deserve it.
/r/seduction03/10/19 06:42 AM

Again, I don't care to go into my reasons, and they wouldn't change in any event, so it wouldn't be productive to discuss them here. I'm just trying to get laid and would welcome insight instrumentally congruent with that goal. If a person thinks getting laid with a reasonably attractive girl is impossible without wanting them to be happy (outside prostitution), this is probably not the post for them. I've been going to therapy twice a month for several years, and I do therapy exercises on my ow…

Thanks for your perspective. We'll have to agree to disagree.

I gained ten pounds or so, but most of it wasn't muscle. I don't know that a large caloric surplus is indicated for bodybuilding. Anyway, you seem to want to argue, so in case that's so I'll just mention that I'm leaving our conversation at that. I appreciate your concern.

P.S.-Never been a drug abuser, including of alcohol. Drank literally no alcohol from ages 23-33, and almost none thereafter (none for at least a year).

Tried it. Lifted hours almost every day, often with a trainer. Read bodybuilding books and magazines and implemented the advice. Ate the recommended macros (the first time, including lots of meat). The second time, I kept this up for years. Essentially no change. The attempts spanned my mid- and late-twenties. In my thirties, I still lift several times a week, though.

I have acquaintances, but none I think deserve happiness. I've been able to connect deeply with others. Several women have emphasized love for me over multi-year relationships.
/r/seduction03/10/19 04:01 AM
2

Thanks, and I agree. It's improbable that I'll meet a girl like that, though. I'll edit the post to clarify: assuming I can't tell girls that I dislike them (along with men, in general), should I alter the usual advice?
/r/seduction03/10/19 03:57 AM
1

It's immaterial to the question. A person could dislike others for different reasons than I do and their advice would be as actionable regardless.
/r/seduction03/10/19 03:51 AM

Definitely skinny. Not interested in adding fat, though. To add muscle, my option is anabolics, and I may look into that.
/r/seduction03/10/19 03:40 AM

Thanks.
/r/seduction03/10/19 03:25 AM

Thanks. Both options seem salutary. Sorry I'm not familiar, but can you clarify what you mean by sports jacket?

Thanks, it's good to be reminded of this. I have a couple of custom dress shirts (14, 36) and will wear them and the like more often going forward. Btw, I hadn't heard of Marfans. My dad had a lot of heart problems, so I may look into it. Thanks.

Addendum: You're right--I actually have specific preferences, for the following in black: 5.11 Tac-Lite cargo pants, rolled; 10-eye boots; long-sleeved tech shirt under tee with industrial music or science graphic; cap with black-and-green US flag or no image. I own many multiples of each of these and wore almost this exact combination almost every day for 15 years, prompting a long-term girlfriend to once remark that I looked like a cartoon character since my appearance was almost always basica…

I'm inclined to agree, but I'm not getting the results I want, so I think I need to make changes of some kind. This area seems like a likely one.
/r/seduction03/10/19 02:37 AM

Thanks. I want to wear what will be most utilitarian given my goals.
/r/seduction03/10/19 02:32 AM
1

Thanks, I agree on most of this. I'll just add that I could see myself wearing almost anything regularly, so I'm open to all suggestions. Since I basically have no preferences salient here, going to shops alone wouldn't be productive.

Not the issue; eat plenty and work out. Senior bio major with a nutrition concentration, so I know what I need, and meat isn't it (nor is weed).

What is the going rate for this? Having read The Game shortly after it was released, and subsequently observed the various disillusioning outcomes of most once-vaunted gurus, I am skeptical that this would be worth paying much more than minimum wage for, if that. Thoughts?

Not sure if serious; I have no interest in that. We agree on the question. Probably not zero women, counting those in the third world, theocracies, etc. Not sure how many or where.

It would probably be more viable than that, approximating most historical periods.
/r/seduction30/08/19 04:36 AM

Thanks. I did remove that shortly after the post, given the advice. I do sometimes wonder about balance, though, given that some common descriptions of desirable men emphasize menace and cruelty. What are your thoughts?

That's helpful feedback to get, thanks. This was inorganic in that I smiled on cue. What do you advise?

Hi, I took ten smile pics and added one to my profile, but although genuine they are toothy, which you admonished. I value your insight, and the pic didn’t improve my results, so I’d welcome your thoughts (pic attached).

"almost all saints were ascetics at some point in their life" Pretty sure this is false. Just read about a lot of them for Exodus 90, and of those, the ascetics were the minority.

Thanks, that’s helpful. I was talking with someone else and assuming that if the smile seemed fake that would backfire. Do you think so?

I hope a digression is allowed, as I have a similar question, and am evaluating chemical solutions. That aside, my question is just about my odds, given that I'm 6' and 135.

Good examples, thanks. I'll change that when I find my pics. Btw, I see now that results can vary from those found by OKTrends, which vindicates your pro-smile advice: https://blog.photofeeler.com/okcupid-is-wrong-about-smiling-eye-contact-mens-dating-profile-photos/
/r/seduction31/05/19 04:08 AM

Thanks, it's outstanding to get a female perspective, and the smile advice is consistent with that from another commenter. I asked him about an OKTrends blog with the opposite opinion, but interestingly, I now see that a replication did not corroborate OKT (link below).

/r/seduction31/05/19 04:05 AM

Thanks for that. This is helpful. Btw, I meant the official OKC blog--it has an article suggesting that non-smiling pics get better results for men. But that's just one opinion. Anyway, can you say more about having a pic from after boxing (I have some somewhere) vs during?
/r/seduction31/05/19 03:58 AM

Thanks, that's a lot of actionable advice, and seems practical. I appreciate you taking the time. I think you know more than I do, but one question did come to mind: have you seen the OKC blog about smiling pics?
