Haha, really? Why do you think that is? I mean, she can be fascinated and entertained by it. But if it's like her primary mode of explaining the world and making judgments about people, I feel it tells me she has zero or very little appreciation of science, will be hard to reason with her and so on. I guess it's more important for me for longer-term stuff. But if it's one of the very first things she asks me about, it's probably a turn-off for me.

First of all, I'm not representative of Norway. Second, good for you (seriously). Personally I was extremely awkward, introverted, socially anxious and unaware, and had little idea growing up of how to move forward with women even if they liked me. I'm glad I'm not as obsessed with this anymore. It takes a lot of energy that I now think is mostly better spent on other things. But I don't think I regret it, partly because I started out so socially poor, basically unable to look people in the eyes…

I somewhat disagree. I think most women are not a good investment, thus the need for a set of selection criteria. I think I need sex and attention from women to be really happy (maybe even sane), and I'm not ashamed of that. But I wanna find the ones who are hot, into me, and not too crazy etc.

True. I was pretty cocky at the time and thought I had "made it". Especially since it had been a very nice exponential curve in the months leading up to that point. Got humbled pretty quickly. Would formulate it differently at this point. I already try to be truthful. I think by nature we're all very dumb, much dumber than we think, and far from really understanding much of the truth. I definitely include myself in that.

Google your way to different types of grants, e.g., in your country. List them in a note taking system, taking special care to note max funding rates, what types of projects are supported, criteria for different funding programs/grants etc. Then make users on the different online platforms of the grant providers or otherwise get a hold of the proposal template. Once you have memorized the characteristics of the different programs and read the templates, you can either write a few for practice or…

Not much at all actually, only had a single one night stand, although many more dates, makeouts, numbers etc. I was 20 at the time and had just had a breakup with my first girlfriend whom I was head over heels for (big emotional hurt for a loong time after that). I did do a hell of a lot approaching, experienced living abroad, made a couple friends I'm still in touch with at times, read 15 ish books, got pretty jacked, got a lot of experiences... When I got back to Norway I got more momentum and…

In more detail, the way I make money now is writing grant proposals for Norwegian companies for funding of R&D projects (I'm Norwegian, living and working in Denmark). I work for a company that does this. I'm maybe the only guy without a university diploma in the 60+ person company, but I read a lot of books. We help Norwegian (and other European) companies match their R&D to various public funding programmes that give grants of usually around 20-60% of the R&D costs. Then we take a small percen…

Cool. Seems almost synonymous with "into me, not too crazy, hot". And maybe a lot of the long term ones could be implicitly included in "don't cause me problems", with room for different personal preferences.

I'm 26, that post was ~2 years ago. I was totally obsessed with "game"/approaching women from approx. 18-23, and did a lot after that too (and a good bit before). I lived in Prague for 6 months from savings I made in door-to-door sales. While there, I went out usually 6 days and 6 nights per week, regularly approaching 10-40 girls/day (with a guy named David Apet, whose life revolves around "game" to this day). It was all documented in a daily blog on the old RSDNation forum before the site was …

Good. We need communities that insist on free speech hedging, moving off the mainstream path and establishing solid platforms independently, before suppression becomes complete.

"Step by step you get ahead. But not necessarily in fast spurts." -Charlie Munger. I agree. The big thing for me lately has been realizing how little it is about the 'doing' that I thought it was all about. At first, I just kind of subconsciously thought I was an unfixable piece of shit. Perhaps largely due to some issues with my father and other stuff. After I discovered the PUA and self-dev stuff, it become all about the doing for me. "I may be a piece of shit, but if I just do enough approach…

Thanks. I posted a link here in the comments somewhere with a link to my top 100+ books. My favorite book ever is probably 'Poor Charlie's Almanack.

Very hard to isolate the variables in these human matters.

That's a good comment, and I mostly agree with you. To perhaps rephrase, I'd say that game—if defined as some magic and secret formula that you get from outside, apply, and then suddenly and sustainably overcome the fundamentals of who you are and how you live your life—does not exist. The reality where you need to get the fuck out there and talk to thousands of girls over time in order to distinguish and develop an intuitive feel for the social dynamics, psychology, human mating tactics, compet…

Yeah. Says something, I guess. Although it got pretty much the same amount of upvotes on seduction. 700-something. And very similar feedback. So maybe more about the mod culture than its inhabitants.

I agree with you that there's an element of social awareness, and an art to the communication skills necessary to deal with women (and just people) effectively. And that it matters hugely. But it's part of who you are, not some external, magic potion or set of standardized techniques to be used mechanically. And the notion that it is has in my experience become very widespread, and really fucked it up for a lot of guys, even to the point of neutralizing or preventing much of that art and those c…

While I think that's definitely true on some level, I'm quite confident that if one focuses on growing the pie (aka investing in oneself), and then selects people (including women) carefully and well—then arrangements where you both come out with positive ROI are not only possible, but very much commendable. It's just rare. Which is not all bad, because it means those who are willing and educated will tend dominate and end up in those favourable situations. And I kind of like how the world force…

Thanks a lot! I'm 184,5 cm, which I guess would be just a little over 6ft. I look kinda weird, though, and used to have lots of insecurities about it. I'm also a ginger (although less pronounced as I aged). But of course lots of dudes would now say "ohh, it's your height, you have it easy." And if that's what you (anyone reading this think), then I'll let you think that and would rather not try to convince you. Or engage with you in any way. Height may help some in some cases, but my years of "i…

I lifted heavy weights and forced myself to eat more and more food until I gained. That's it. Lots of good fat, protein and veggies.

Yeah. Never really used Reddit until a week or two ago. So would make sense that I'm not yet that well adjusted to the culture, subcultures etc.

10/10 feedback. IME, this kind of feedback often gets lost, either because people don't wanna hurt your feelings, don't know what they're talking about, or obviously want to drag you down. Or because the receiver can't get over themselves, and get defensive and closed-off. Which is what I almost always did before, but have learned to sometimes refrain from. And of course, it can sometimes be challenging to distinguish with all the factors mixed up. But you did well. Quickly expressing good inten…

I don't need to do anything you say. It depends what you mean by 'the grind'. If the only thing you can conceive of with that notion is talking to chicks, then sure. Although I did find PUA at about 15 and have gone harder with it than the vast majority of people alive, including the ones that are in it or know about it. I personally think it consists of a whole lot more than talking to strangers, though. I'm talking about the fact that I started lifting weights in a systematic and highly consis…

Sure, but as I've commented above. I don't think 'playing hard to get', or playing anything, is the most viable or effective solution. Especially not in the long-term, and in fact can be destructive and distractive. Why do I need to 'play this or that'? If I'm just a guy who knows he's gonna die, has a decent of idea of what he'd like to do and accomplish between now and then, and understands that life will present him with a whole bunch of opportunity costs (aka tradeoffs where choosing one thi…

I very much agree with that. And fair enough, you know. I wasn't able to ascend from my bullshit initially without some sort of external system from other people that I could abandon myself and latch onto. As I think I wrote on the seddit: Game doesn't really exist. It's a mirage. We made it up. It's a lie we invented in order to get us into a place where we could handle the truth.

To the guys talking about tools and techniques and 'outcome independence 'or 'indifference game' to get your penis inside or whatever, I don't fuck with that stuff anymore. I'm not all that interested in discussing or arguing about what would theoretically work or which technique or thing to say is superior. I just haven't found that to be very effective, and don't see it being very effective in the guys I hang out with or coach. If they do get good results while thinking like that, it is in my …

Admins deleted it. As far as I can see, with no good reason. I've sent them a message asking for an explanation. Internet censorship in general is scaring the hell out of me right now. It's been too disruptive to the people in power, so they're coming in, and together with the big tech companies taking control of what people can and cannot say. Scary as hell. Probably futile, but I'm doing a bachelor's in comp. science now, and will try to do something grassroots style as I get better and have m…

Okay, so mods deleted this, and I've asked for an explanation. My understanding was that a moderator's job is to filter out bullshit to make the forum valuable. Not to delete posts that follow the rules and give the most value to its community according to the community itself. But let's hear what they have to say..

Hey, man. I don't understand. Was it removed? If so, it wasn't me, so must have been a moderator or something. If so, it's the second really popular post I've posten in a few days that has been deleted. This time I can't see any good reason for it... Will check it out.

Thanks. I did start off in business school for one semester, but then switched to science, and now computer science. But finance and econ interests me hugely, so I've been reading and studying it obsessively on my own time for the last 6 months or so.

Hey, man. Appreciate your interest. Thanks. Several people asked for book recommendations. I have a post on the r/BehavioralEconomics thread, and in the comments you'll find my list of some of the best resources (books and videos) I know on Econ, finance and psychology. Some gems in there I think. Then, if you're able to, you can try searching me up on Goodreads. My name there is 'Ask Gram Franck'. If you can find me, there should be a list on my profile of the books I've read. Most of them with…

Okay, dudes. Thanks for asking and flushing this out. I find the whole notion of 'gaming your girlfriend' extremely absurd, weak and appalling, and that's not something I would suggest. If trying to live the kind of life you want to live and going for that, then finding a partner who is a good fit for the type of life(style) you've chosen because you know you're gonna die some day and have made an actual choice about roughly the type of stuff you wanna do between now and then (which can be hard …

Good point! Appreciated. I wouldn't say I think of this stuff as some sort of tactic. Definitely not interested in trying to uphold some game or facade, not even with strangers, and much less with the people close to me (which would include a girlfriend). I'm going out regularly with a dedicated guy a couple years younger than me now. It seems to be some sort of epidemic, with him, with so many guys I see and for sure with me (although lesser as time passed): We tend to think that if something '…

Thanks! English is my second language. I'm born and raised in Norway, and Norwegian is my mother tongue. Norway is small, so most people here speak English fairly well, and we learn it quite early in school. I do feel like I am in many cases better able to express myself in English than Norwegian. That is not normal here. It's a much bigger language. I've been an avid reader since quite early. My parents encouraged it, and I've always been decent with language. There is zero doubt in my mind tha…

I don't believe in any final destination in life except death. I did describe a relationship scenario with a bomb ass girl whom you stay with and build an empire. But if you're asking if I think there's a realistic scenario where you've done all the setup, get into that 'perfect' relationship, and then just sit there with no purpose, just fucking her and not working on yourself or anything else. No. I don't think that will happen. And I don't think that's what you want. Is there a point where yo…
