Man Before MOA they would drive me nuts! Today, they are the most fun thing you can experience! It has turned into the ultimate tell. What change in behavior have u experienced in a whole different context since being part of this community/red pill//evolutionary psychology experience.

Yeah @Joseph Pimental mixed messages are clearer when you get into MOA and evolutionary psychology conversation. The biggest change that I've noticed is seeing the difference between what someone claims they want and what they actually want. Someone claiming they want long-term stability but caught up into all their friends drama. Action > Words
Making female friends efficiently// college events
What would yall say in a college setting is most practical and efficient way to make the most female friends? Would it be the going out to events and meeting ppl/ talking to ppl in class and trying to invite them to things later or would it be collecting a list of instagram res and from the school using rabbit hole method? Additionally what type of “events” to invite new acquaintances make the most sense in a college setting would yall say?

@C N depending on what college department you are in. In the case of business you can literally sign up for almost any kind and it work. If it's something like physics then that's a little bit harder. Sports are super easy events to invite people to whether it's football, basketball, or volleyball. Easy invite and you can still get pre-selection photos at the games. One thing worth mentioning is that there is a large difference between 18-19 year old college group and 22-23 college group. People who are younger generally have more time to do different things unless they are an athlete. @Samuel Taiwo Has a great point on doing something like a run club. Could do cycling, yoga, or group fitness classes too.
Should I tell my girl about MOA?
I recently have been at some events were girls with MOA members were talking quite openly about MOA and it's benefits. Obviously a few drinks were on board and they were being quite chatty about the whole thing. But I have to say, I was quite surprised at the in-depth knowledge about the program that they seemed to have. And it made me think, because I don't really talk about it with girls I hang out with at all. So, it brought to my mind a question. Is it a good idea to tell your girlfriend about MOA? She might think it's a good idea at the time, but what is her attitude going to be about MOA if you guys break up later?. What do you guys think?

@Michael Boyle This depends on what portions of MOA you want to emphasize. I wouldn't tell her about MOA as a way to lead generate for several attractive woman in your life. However, if you want to talk about the leadership, brotherhood, or social connections then that makes sense to do. A simple way to think about it does answer 'If someone heard this would they think this person is any more competent, intelligent, or well connected?' Then it would make sense but if the goal is to get a 'massive rotation of girls' I would steer away.
Action Leads to Learning
Having only been in the program 2 months, I’ve identified that most of us all have the same struggle. We are over-thinkers, egregiously. And because of our habit of staying in our own heads, we have many of the same issues, one of which is being socially uncalibrated. For those of you who haven’t taken action in the program yet, I implore you, #1 Suspend your disbelief (shut off the over-thinking part of your brain). #2 Implement action (speed of implementation). We are prone to NEEDING to know all the information and answers BEFORE taking any action, but that’s not how men learn best. We learn best by doing. It’s in the pursuit of implementation that you will acquire calibration. I could be off, but I believe one of the biggest reasons we over-think and NEED all the information/answers, is because we all fear failure. Somewhere early in life, we developed the core belief that failure defines us. Out of that core belief we pulled all the stops to ensure we never experience failure. Have you heard the saying, that which you most need is often that which you most avoid? My life started to turn around when I stopped avoiding failure, and instead saw it as an opportunity to learn. If you’re struggling in an area, it might just be that what you need is less orchestrating the PERFECT plan in your head, and more action/experience in that area. Less thinking. More action.

@Caleb Sonneman those are a few excellent points! When you take action you get feedback from the world instead of keeping the projections in your head. This shows up in so many different places whether it's dating, business, or talking to family. Action is an antidote to chaos while thinking inside your head is just spending energy on the wind. Now, after you take feedback from the world you still want to analyze the information. Doing things in the world is the first step and then integrating that feedback is the second. You are doing it right now in a forum writing takes action to articulate yourself enough for others to comment.
What Did You Stop Doing?
We talk a lot about adding skills, habits, and routines. Lately I’ve been noticing the opposite has mattered just as much. What’s one thing you stopped doing that noticeably improved your life? Could be a behavior, mindset, habit, relationship dynamic, or time sink. Not looking for theory, just real-world changes that actually stuck.

@Brett Stringfellow First, that makes complete sense that you have a mixed feeling of insecurity there. Intentionally, categorizing yourself (nurse) and then taking away it (Med/Surg) would cause dissonance. In the case of your perception of medical surgeon it can have negative associations from an ideal. What it would be commonly referred to as 'imposter syndrome'. On the second point it makes complete sense on the discrepancy between what your plans are and trying to impress someone else. People do enjoy WIIFM (what's in it for me) and actually clarifying where you are benefits others. People appreciated a narrow certain domain of knowledge that can help them. Now, when you think about a ripe-yellow banana there are properties associated with it. People eat it but its no ribeye steak. In the case qualifying yourself as nurse there is an effect of what its not. Bad habit it or not it takes balls to put this in a forum.

@Max Peck Oddly, certain kinds of variables words work excellently here. If someone says they are a 'efficient manager' people will make conclusions from there without needing to justify. Thanks for putting this in here as this can be a problem when people are trying to figure out what you do and if it's relevant to them.
