"The Empress Is Naked"

This guy is amazing. Crystal clear. The political image of the world in just a few words. Well worth the view.
I think I may be in a similar boat and I attribute the lack of instant infatuation with my new girl to the fact it's my first serious LTR where dope (dope: any dopamine releasing substance) isn't a pillar of our foundation.
My emotional highs in this relationship haven't been artificially inflated by narcotics. While that's kinda lame, the emotional lows have been nowhere close to the downs of my past experiences. Thus far anyways.
I don't think I destroyed my pair bonding abilities (nor you @bozza tho idk your details/past) I just think this is more the pace two healthy individuals are suppose to come together. Tho my girl did assimilate to my lifestyle fairly quickly, still spending a little too much time together for such a fresh couple but that could be logiced out.
Over all I was the healthiest I've ever been entering a committed relationship this go around which means I'm more mission focused, equating to a stronger frame.
Ontop of that I knew better than to get with my ex, ignoring the UN of Red Flags before we started dating, then tolerating inexcusable behavior because she agreed to leaving my side of the relationship open. So fuck it why not?
Being the healthiest I've ever been, focusing on my goals/missions plus "knowing better" with my ex but still doing it anyways are the perfect ingredients for me not falling head over heals over this girl. On paper and through experience, she's the highest quality woman I've committed to but I'd prefer things stay this way. It's overall healthier because I lack the obsessive, unchecked infatuation of past committed relationships.
This is how it should be. Mind you we're only in the ends of our honey moon phase (9 months in).
Read More@adam-l once again, you remind me of this series of memes.
@adam-l I can't reply straight to @Felix-Brohier for some reason (spam filter? Tag @Vermillion-Rx), so I'll piggy-back off your reply.
I recently started doing Muay Thai in weekends.
Great! Lift weights too.
I'm not all that fluent in the local language
Work on that. Can you use Babel or Rosetta Stone or some other language learning program?
complete noob here
Have you read the TRP sidebar?
If you're finding them to be "hellbent on marriage" there's a good chance you're giving off provider signals rather than fuck signals.
Alpha/arousal behavior and traits lead to sex.
Beta/comfort/provisioning behaviors and traits tend to dry women out unless they are earned. In other words, you don't buy shit for a woman you aren't already fucking.
First two things:
1) Your number one peiority is avoiding being baby-trapped. You want to fuck, not get fucked.
2) Avoid LTRs, for a few years. Prioritize getting experience. This is harder to do than to tell, because pussy is sweet and you'll be afraid of going back to celibacy. That's why you've got to have it crystal-clear: getting experienced in women is a prerequisite, in order to have an LTR that can work.
South Asia... I'd go with India, maybe? Anyone here with experience in South Asia game?
If the subtext is "take care of me", you'll get creeped out reactions.
It should be "I have my shit taken care of, and I'm out for fun and adventure, join me".
Put aside a time for worrying, if you must, and besides that, enjoy the rest of your time.
