What’s the #1 insight from Michael that improved your dating?
The biggest breakthrough I’ve had from Michael’s content is understanding preselection. And once I applied it, everything changed. What’s the #1 insight from Michael that improved your dating?

@Felix Urbanek a little bit. But not super serious about it. You can see the top "2" of the 6 of a six pack on me. Ive got good definition of arm and leg muscles, and I'm light enough to have agility

Weekends
I have a bad habit of not doing anything or going anywhere on weekends. I usually play video games the entire weekend and watch college football when it’s in season. When the basketball team I coach is in season (Feb-July) I have games to go to, but I don’t do anything when I’m not in season. What do MOA do on weekends? I live a boring life and I need to start doing things, but I’m not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

I hooked up with 3 women this weekend. But thats a result of what I've done for two years on weekends and weeknights to get to where I am. I get it, I'm a video game addict too. It is so easy to burn hours in games. But what are you building? What results do you have after 1,000 hours in a game? What would 1,000 hours in social events/clubs and working on yourself and your social circles look like?

@D Jackson look for a wing girl or a small group of wing girls. Attractive is good, but not completely necessary, more important is a wing girl who is extroverted and charming.
Is toxic masculinity a real concern? Are men in our sphere more prone to dark triad type traits?
When I first heard this phrase many years ago, I laughed out loud. But the saying hasn’t gone away all these years later and sometimes I do wonder if men can be assholes. I can think of many incidents where I was a complete dick to somebody, or did something impulsive and regretted it. After looking through a lot of the posts, and a lot of the comments in this forum, I can see and hear the entitlement and inflated ego’s of some of the members, myself included. Toxic masculinity is just a hilarious catchphrase for calling out bad behavior so that’s why I found it funny at first, but there is some truth to it. I think there is a difference between being an asshole and having a strong spine. There is a line between the 2 behaviors and I have crossed over to the asshole side plenty of times. But now I am much better at being the strong silent type as Tony Soprano likes to put it. I am curious if you guys do self reflection and think about how you have treated people in the past. Do you consider yourself a good person? What even is a good person?

Throw the word toxic out the window. You have to be your own judge, there are many concepts in male mental health and male centered relationship advice, and I would say it divides into empowering and success promoting strategies, or into misogynistic victim hood narratives that overemphasize the obstacles into insurmountable proportions. Go find the teachers and voices that help you be a kick ass male that women love, because you make their lives better and more fulfilled.
Suspension of disbelief + Speed of implementation
In addition to my previous post concerning getting a group out successfully, I was wondering if there’s in between steps that may have been missed when conducting first 4 steps of MOA with this fashion show I just attended. I had an event lined up, I sent out invite and got confirmations, no one shows so I attend by myself and tried to meet other creatives and got instagrams. Is this what MOA is about? Just trying and failing (going to these vents yourself) until one day the girls actually decide to show? I feel I’ve suspended disbelief and implemented the protocols swiftly but at this point I feel there may be a gap in knowledge, unless this is the true MOA process. Additionally, I had no leverage with this fashion show host so I bought a few tickets (expecting the female guests) but no luck with guests this time(and money lost). Feel free to add any thoughts you have in the comments.

@C J you're motivated and thinking about it. There are lots of women that want quality guy friends, either romantically or platonically, you are looking for something that is plentiful, but also going to take effort in finding, and then weeding out the garbage, then finding more, then cutting back again. When you get ready to go out and look for friends, really look with an open mind and open eyes, you will find them.

@C J do you have a talent and passion for being a photographer? If you're doing that just as a means to get to the girls, I'm not sure it is the way. Take of your self critical hat, be kind to yourself and ask what are you good at that other people appreciate? I'm not a photographer, I'm not famous or rich, but I listen to women like few men can. Most men SUCK at listening, so it is easy to stand out. Listen to women, and you'll understand women better, but listen as a male. Never listen then agree with a woman when you don't agree. A women is more interested in a guy who doesn't agree and can articulate why. Where to go. Meetups on things you like. Hiking groups, art shows, animal rescue fundraisers would be places I would start. I'm in a German language practice meetup group, and that one's been awesome.

I can't even imagine who I would be without the red pill books that I have read, Rational Male being one of the main ones.

@Charles Armstrong the foundation book I'd recommend for every male is Dr. Glover's "No more Mr. Nice Guy." That's a MUST READ. Then read everything by authors Taraban, Richard Cooper, Rollo Tomassi, Neil Strauss, Mystery, Roger Alan Currie, etc.... and never stop reading.
