@Typo-MAGAshiv @Lone_Ranger Regarding bars and clubs: When I turned 21 I was all excited. I thought it would be like the old beer commercials but I found it depressing. My father's generation back in the 1960's went to bars a lot but I just didn't have anything in common with them. That being said, I found that book clubs sort of "broke off" into social groups who would hang out afterwars at the venue (usually a cafe) and then buy drinks and shoot the shit doing stuff that a classical bar scene would look like. And perhaps that's the key: People who go to bars, at random, are largely drifters while you form relationships with people through a shared activity. One of the guys at the book club said his wife tried to start a women's book club, but they quickly got drunk and didn't talk anything about books.

@Lone_Ranger @Gointthedistance It's a fun topic you brought up. I'll add this: I think the fundamental flaw with conservatism has been putting us into a Hunger Games competition and it played into the feminists/trad-fems hands: Richard Cooper says "just become alpha" but even if ALL of us spent all day improving, 90% of us can't be alpha by definition. Men today work 2X as hard as my father did for women who are half as good or "ho'flation". You know what my father did to pass my mom's shit test at a dance in 1958? She told me she gave him her name but NOT her phone number. He had to look it up in the white pages! Yeah, she sure made him EARN it! So we have allowed the system to continually move the goal posts for us to justify being treated like a human being.
I'll add part of the problem is how chivalry has brainwashed men including in comic books. I love the line in KickAss2 where the villain says healthy people don't dream of being superheroes, they dream of being rich and getting laid. Imagine how much better the world would have been if Peter Parker used his spider powers to make awesome consumer products and became a billionaire and had a bevy of professional tail in his harem?
Another aspect of my self-improvement often overlooked is MARKETING. You can do 10X better at work, but you'll be beaten by the kissarse who does only 1/2 of the work he's supposed to do. Game is more than just getting laid but an overall outlook at life to win.
All that said, I find it fulfilling to do good things for a community that has shown they care about me. My wife and i regularly volunteer at the local Ukrainian Orthodox church and they have been kind and appreciative to us.

I recall going out to bars and clubs when I was about 40. It seemed like the only thing that people were doing at the weekend was going out and coping off with each other.
You went to a slut venue, and saw nothing but sluts?
I am utterly shocked.

Yes, isn't that what good looking guys that are also social calibrated do?
Sometimes. It's not as much as the blackpillers think. (I've seen you use "___-maxx" terms, which is a blackpill thing. Try to avoid reading their garbage. It'll only bring you down (or make you laugh when you get to the point that you know it's garbage).)
I think for me at least, it's not the capability of sleeping with a girl the same day I meet her, as much as being able to do so.
It's not this thing, but this same exact thing said with different words?
visited some Pro's to get better at smashing.
That won't make you better, unless you stumble across one who acts as sort of a sex teacher.
Besides, building attraction and doing enough good foreplay are both far more important than the mechanics of smashing. You get a woman cranked up enough, she'll orgasm as you enter her. Ask me how I know.
status and being a desirable man? Or because I'm a prime candidate for a beta bux?
Lead with arousal qualities and not with your wallet. If anything, hide and downplay your money.

@Lone_Ranger I appreciate the comment, truly. But I have some questions.
also point to a sort of ambition to be a chad that can smash chicks within 2 hours of meeting them.
Yes, isn't that what good looking guys that are also social calibrated do?
I'd ditch that as an ambition. Because its not going to make you happy.
This sounds like saying "it's lonely at the top", but what if you're already lonely at the bottom? I think for me at least, it's not the capability of sleeping with a girl the same day I meet her, as much as being able to do so. Instead of being some loser that visited some Pro's to get better at smashing.
Just keep living and improving yourself, you're going in the right direction. The chicks will come.
While I really appreciate this, I don't have that much optimism. I'm already 28 and while I do look like I'm 21 and I'm certainly fit and getting fitter each day, I feel (a woman thing I know) that I've missed a lot of stuff and that I'm at a massive disadvantage to most guys that started getting laid at 15 and kept getting laid.
The chicks will come.
And yes, they will come, but they'll come because I've finally ascended to chad status and being a desirable man? Or because I'm a prime candidate for a beta bux?

@Antelope So if I'm here for Covid Round 2 fakeness then everything pretty much stays exactly the same for me. I'll do construction, maybe have to wear a symbolic mask here and there, but it will be basically completely free. I'll have gatherings of a few people or even ten and life is normal. The main difference would be that I'll have trouble eating my favorite real cheesecake over in Chisinau because they're Western gay and will likely require fake Covid vaccination card gangster scams that I don't want to participate in.
But in America it's just a beat down psyche-busting horror show, minefield subjects, extreme alienation and basically being on house arrest hoping that it doesn't literally all implode on my bad luck time.

@Lone_Ranger I think that what can happen with self improvement is that you get the constant feeling that you are not good enough. Not good enough for women, for fiends, for X Y Z things. And you are basically living in a loop of self doubt no matter the progress you've made. The problem here is how to get out of the loop and learn to appreciate the process and the small wins along the way.

One of the things that jumped out at me from the article is that a lot of people who go into psychology are wrestling with their own demons.
Procrastinators study the psychology of Procrastination. Sexual deviants study the psychology of sexual devianc
... and liars like Ariely study the psychology of lying.

@Antelope America is going to be GAY AS FUCK in 2024. Being stuck there just rotting during Covid anti-election and away from my woman and livable property is just gay as fuck.
Everyone meaningful across all subjects is predicting America to be a total shit show in 2024.
