Displaying preselection without women
If we don’t have the widest circle of female friends yet and we’re actively working on our instagrams, do we just focus on displaying scarce locations and resources and then add in the women overtime?

The best way to find out is to Google "Most instagrammable spots in *city*". Another great option is "Best wedding venues in *city*".
Booklist Advice
Hello my fellow MOA members. Hope everyone is having a productive day. I need some advice. I just ordered “Hustle harder” any “7 habits of effective people” Does anyone have any suggestions from the booklist that helped them most that I should purchase?

You can't go wrong with any of the books, but The Value of Others is very useful.
Ig Photo batch
Hi guys, let me know which ones are grid worthy. I doubt the boardwalk photo is because of the people in it. Composition wise they all look good but I want to maintain a certain quality now.

4 and 6. The others are too much pictures of you rather than pictures of the place. Women get to take pictures of themselves, we do not. Avoid the style of the 3rd. You are observing other groups having fun. You look like a rejected outsider.

@Phil Dave I am once again posting a comment by @Ty Buchanan from a few weeks ago, to a person asking if their photo was acceptable for the grid: No. You put yourself as the subject of the photo and not THE LOCATION as the subject. This is a photo of "you at this place" not "this place and you happen to be in it" Only women and celebs (men with status or demonstrating access to a scarce resource) can get away with close up images of themselves. For guys in MOA, its about our lifestyle, not us. People don't care about us, but they do care about what we do. Look up "rule of thirds". You want to take up about 1/6th of the photo and place yourself on an intersect of where the "thirds" meet up. Think like this... what makes a celeb photo a celeb photo? It is the paparazzi taking a photo of them just going about their day doing whatever at wherever. You are posed in the center of this image because you wanted a "photo of you" Instead, you should have shown off way more of where you are at, and just so happen to be "caught in the act" of being there. Think of yourself in a photo as a "watermark" that you were really there. That is really all the importance of us being in a photo. Examples: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5yvD0tPTCr/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUCHPiOFXF/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CwvUGErLEZV/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8McK-Ph4V/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQPEAbrxxJ/ You can get away with a more close up image if you are at a place associated with status: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2vaFujRWDD/ Keep at it 💪
Competence vs Status
Looking at the IG examples I've been noticing there's a lot of status being expressed but not many pictures of competence. It's this due to the fact it just isn't what people are looking for or is it that it's hard to look good or wear nice cloths doing construction or home renovation?

Competence is comprised of “Power”, “Status”, and “Skills.” ”Power” is your ability to make things happen or to stop them from happening. It is not enough to merely ‘have ideas.’ You must be able to make them real. One of the ways we do that is with money. Ultimately, power is a measurement of your ability to make things go your way. “Status” is comprised of how others gauges other’s relative respect (how others respect you), importance, and dominance. These are ancillary hierarchical metrics, and they will never go away. If you can’t get to the top of a group you are in now find one in which you can, for you will always be graded/ranked compared to other men. When you have status you will make weak people feel insecure, and you will have more powerful friends. It is functionally useless to be a lone wolf or a nice guy. It will get you nothing that you want. “Skills” can be practical or not, but the whole point is to be good at something she/others value. Ideally, a skill will do something to help you meet more people or women. Most men play videogames now. No shame, but being really good at a video game won’t help you meet women. While there are some women who play videogames and think it’s really cool that you do as well, the fact is there just aren’t that many who care, especially not women you will be attracted to. It is not useful for you to play videogames if your goal is to meet more women. All this is to say that a skill you select should help you meet more women. It could be dancing, music or photography. Anyway, that is what I understand competence to be.
