@Artur Rozmysł "classic giver's gain stuff" maybe it's obvious to some, but to the vast majority of humanity I doubt it is. Thanks for the feedback my man!

Haha I love the hunter gatherer gym! No one around to distract you, it seems. Is that in Las Kabacki? And if you don't mind sharing, if that is indeed the Kabacki forest, where did you get your three approaches in? I guess on the way there, there's always someone active running around.

@Artur Rozmysł Artur I think your enthusiasm for the project is quite apparent. Amazing! You have a lot of experience, no doubt. There's so much here... Let's just take the military service bit. I hear you, there's always two sides to every coin. So you were sick and tired of school indoctrination, I understand that. And yet you too probably grew up rather privileged, no? I know I did. So in my case embracing a challenge such as military service would have been a good idea. Not sure it's a quick fix, after all, it takes a year or so. But in the grand scheme of things, yes, it's probably a kind of cheat code to help littles bitches like myself man up and enter their 20s with their shoulders back and chest out, figuratively and literally. There's a lot to be said for its usefulness in today's day and age of coddled kids. But I'm repeating myself. The video said it first. If porn was just a symptom or the actual issue, great question. But I do think it was the actual issue. If internet porn hadn't been around, I'm not sure something else would have captured and distracted and sedated me as much as it did, given that it mainly interferes with your sexual energy. That's a BIG big part of becoming a man, learning to channel it properly. IMO porn makes that more difficult by orders of magnitude--it creates an unnecessarily difficult challenge because it hijacks your brain while it's just beginning to form. I started when I was 14, now kids start way earlier, like age 9. That's nuts. What kind of other issue could porn be a symptom of, in the absence of childhood trauma like in my case? We could sit here all day and philosophize but the distraction of porn and lack of structure (now referring to military service again) didn't do me good. Same goes for lacking a more formal education filmmaking path. Let's leave it at that ;) But way to take the conversation to the next level and expand our horizon, keep 'em coming!

Platonic vs. traditional cold approach

Clinical Psychologist Abdul Saad: “An authentic grounded man is comfortable with putting his sexual agenda on the table if he is attracted to a woman. He doesn’t have to hide his feelings behind a veneer of niceness. If there’s attraction there, if there’s a spark there, an authentic grounded man will make that known.” Social circle expert Michael Sartain on showing intent: "Intent has failed guys and is the number 1 thing pick-up gets wrong about female attraction. Preselection will do most of the heavy lifting for you. In fact, preselection is responsible for 80% of whether or not a woman is attracted to you." I agree with both of these gentlemen but only with the former when it comes to NICE guys. First off, learning cold approach is non-negotiable. -> So do we do it with or without expressing intent? It depends on where you are in your journey, what level. What Sartain says works for me now, but it wouldn't have 5 years ago. It works for me now because I'm no hyper agreeable NICE guy anymore. Let’s put it this way: Can you transform from hyper agreeable NICE guy to confident leader who makes women laugh without ever learning and experiencing what it’s like to express intent? Perhaps. BUT... and this is a big BUT-- Making their sexual attraction for women known is the No. 1 obstacle hyper agreeable NICE guys must overcome to dip their toe in the water. The fact they are sexual beings to begin with (in accordance with a man's biology) is Level numero uno #1. You can ditch intent later as you level up--matter of fact you should, and Michael is spot on. However, skipping it will make the transformation take way longer, and that's best case scenario. Worst case: you never actually make the transformation to begin with. I see it with guys who are trying to apply platonic cold approach as part of Michael's social circle game without ever having done any traditional cold approach (pick-up). It's a lot harder for them. Why? They have not sufficiently desensitized themselves to rejection that's predicated on them being a sexual human being. As you begin doing cold approach, being platonic might be all you can stomach. But again, there are levels to this, MANY MANY MANY levels.

@Artur Rozmysł Very nice. Why do you find Warsaw more challenging than, say, London? I think Warsaw is the best city in the world to meet cute girls but I also agree, from a social skills perspective people here are more closed. That's just the slavic way of doing things. My day game practice was dormant during the colder months, now it's coming back to life. It tends to fall on the afternoon when I cannot look at any more screens and go out for a walk.
