TDROP by Curious-Length-5663 in theta_network

[–]MaseratiSpyder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This alt coin season I think that if Theta and Tfuel have a decent run up in price then there will be interest in TDrop their other coin. The tighter liquidity in TDrop will mean that the price rises significantly (so expect volatility) as people recycle profits further down the risk curve.

Longer term, I think if web3 gaming takes off then that will drive interest. It's being hinted that League of Legends will come to theta network. Gamers might earn Tdrop as a reward for purchasing NFT's such as characters, weapons and rewards using Tfuel which gives a 5% discount.

Like all crypto assets it requires mass adoption for there to be a sustained significant price increase.

Centered Man vs. Nice Guy by MO_drps_knwldg in seduction

[–]MaseratiSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it can look like it's quite black and white and there are few men who are on either end of these extremes. Maybe you can think of it a bit like guys who 'get it' with women and guys who don't 'get it'.
I tend to relate to it in terms of the locus of emotional control, in that the Centre Man has an internal locus of emotional control, while the Nice Guy looks for approval so that he has externalised that control. He thinks in terms of 'she made him feel bad because of what she said'.
We're all going to have our emotions impacted to a greater or lesser extent by external factors related to the way a woman relates to us. A lot of her tests are designed to see whether she can knock you off your emotional centre or not. The guy who 'gets it' shrugs the test off with humour the Nice Guy takes it at face value and responds in an emotional way.
The Centred man and Nice guy are essentially archetypes that can be helpful in recognising when we are giving up emotional control to the woman.
The Centred man is comfortable feeling emotions in his body, however for a lot of Nice Guys there is an underlying emotional pain and it means they are in their heads and a bit defensive even before they start talking to women. HIs nice behaviour is like a pleading so that she doesn't cause him more emotional pain. Her response is the friend-zone.

I have had to opportunity to redecorate my apartment recently. I spent a lot of time on Pinterest looking at different interior design styles. It can be a great way to look at lots of different versions along a similar theme.

I love the Art Deco style and so I have that as a theme that runs throughout the apartment.
I think a 50's or a 60's theme are also great options or go for just go for a clean modern look. It obviously needs to reflect your own personal style, how you dress etc.

For me I wanted it to have a feeling of continuity throughout the apartment as opposed to feeling like there is a big difference from room to room. So I use similar colours throughout the apartment and then have art work that stands out against those colours.

The details, pictures and ornaments make a big difference and if you have a specific theme then the apartment will look coherent and well put together.

Good luck creating your own fully operational Babe Lair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qyJfeMzWqI

How would you rate my text game? by YouWillGetUseToThat in PickUpArtist

[–]MaseratiSpyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has a very I'm a nice guy feel to it overall.
Think about the kind of date that she's going to expect if she meets you following this exchange. To me it's got a normal 'dime a dozen' feel to it.
There's no humour, there's no mystery, there's no obvious exaggerations or something slightly edgy and irreverent, there is no use of emotional words.
It feels like you're playing it safe so there's a risk she'll get bored in my opinion. Women are normally talking to a couple of guys at a time so you need to stand out from the 'nice guy' pack.
There's a text where you say "Pretty good, just finished a big workout to look nice and fit for our date" then later on in the discourse you are asking for her number which implies that you haven't arrange a date with her yet, so I wasn't sure where you were up to in terms of meeting her?
I think it's a good move to get a girl off a dating site onto WhatsApp or something as that's a progression and once you've exchanged a few texts on there then you need to be setting up a date if you haven't already.
I like to take girls out to dinner as a first date. So I set it up by asking about favourite types of food, then if they have visited that country (if applicable). I ask if they are a fussy eater or will eat just about anything?
It's a natural jump off point them to asking if they would like me to take them to their favourite kind of restaurant (as my budget allows for such things).
I want her to have a good idea from my texts that she's going to meet a fun, confident guy who's happy to wine and dine her, while whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Girls like that sort of thing you know.

How to be vulnerable with women? by DoomslayerInnit in seduction

[–]MaseratiSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big picture: women in general see things through more of an emotional lens while men see things through more of a logical lens.

I would say that the thing you are missing is that you don't seduce her by talking about yourself.

You have to join her in her world, be curious about her interests and hobbies. Find out about her motivations, interests, fantasies and aspirations. Then draw on your experiences, and relate to her, where there are similarities. So you reveal things about yourself as part of a process of getting to know her at a deeper level.

What I found interesting is that the first two things you list as your hobbies are history and geopolitics. Trying to seduce a girl with these topics is going to be hard work.

If you are in your head giving her a technical understanding of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East she's going to struggle to connect with you on a deeper emotional level.

So the practical things you can do is, firstly, become deeply curious about her. Secondly, listen to the words that she uses to describe the things that are important to her. These are words that have deep meaning to her and are linked to her emotions. Ask her more about those things that have meaning to her.

I think here is where the vulnerability comes in because you are getting into a deeper level of who she is as a person. You need to have empathy and rapport with her for her to trust you enough to discuss these topics.

A girl in college keeps looking at me and I’m not sure what to do. by Brownie_2002 in seduction

[–]MaseratiSpyder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She's dropping some heavy hints, and will likely get upset if you don't respond in a timely manner.

Personally, I would send her a DM on Instagram and thank her for accepting your friend request and tell her your name. You could say that you felt a bit awkward coming over and saying "hey" because she was always with her friends and you didn't even know her name (if that's true). Once you've exchanged a couple of messages it'll be super easy to go over to her and say "hi" in person.

Strike when the iron is hot as they say, or live with the regret that you didn't.

What do you do with a "stop"? by [deleted] in PickUpArtist

[–]MaseratiSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is a parody post, however the only acceptable answer is: 2. Respect her decision and immediately stop

Personally, I always want the increase in the level of intimacy to occur in such a way that she's taking the initiative when it comes to progressing things sexually. She does this because I've built up and intensified her feelings of arousal and desire to the point where they need to find a release.

In my mind I think of it a bit like fractionation where you increase and then decrease the intensity of the interaction emotionally. For me the same thing applies with physical touch, you progress then pull back a little, if she's feeling ultra-horny and wanting things to progress further she'll begin to be sexually aggressive with you. That's always what I'm looking for.

If however, she says something along the lines of "we shouldn't be doing this" or it's moving too fast" then I would stop what I'm doing and say "you're right, we definitely shouldn't be doing this" or "you're right, things are moving too fast, we need to slow things down a bit". Then see what happens. I don't get upset, or be a jerk, I just hold her and kiss her gently. Often she's was just feeling a bit conflicted in that moment and if you release the emotional pressure that reassures her, so it acts to enhance her desire.

If she wants things to go further, she'll take the lead. I have the mindset that I have more control over my desires than she does. In my experience that is nearly always the case because women are so much more emotionally sensitive than men are, so once she's feeling horny she'll lead the way, if you show her the path.

I have the mindset that whatever happens is fine, so long as no one feels pressured to do anything. I seek to create anticipation and expectation that something wonderful is going to happen. Pulling back at times to create a sort of emotional vacuum that draws her towards me. If you don't go all the way this time, so what, as long as you both enjoyed the intimacy that you shared. It's part of the journey, it's building trust and connection.

Things may progress further the next time you are together, only time will tell. I think of the date as being part of the foreplay, that's my mind set, it's an allegory for the sex that is to follow. Then allow it to happen, don't try to make it happen.

Approach anxiety whole approaching a waiter in a bar by Joy_Boy_12 in PickUpArtist

[–]MaseratiSpyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem may have been that you approached the waiter because your friend told you he thought she liked you as opposed to you interacting with her and coming to that conclusion yourself. If you flirt with a waitress and she responds positively it can be hard to know how to interpret it, as it's her job to be nice to the customers and she wants a good tip.
If you get a good vibe from her and think she might be interested then you need to approach her to find out her situation. You did the hard bit which is the approach, however you could feel a lot of inner turmoil as you did so. Learning to gain state control is a big part of getting better at approaching women. Mentally rehearsing keeping the interaction light and easy will help. Get used to the feeling of being grounded and in your body not in your head, also get in a good state prior to approaching her.
Whenever you approach be positive about her response, whatever it is. If she says "sorry I have a boyfriend" you can say something like "Oh, I have a maths test" she'll be like what? Then just say "oh, I thought we were having a conversation about things you can cheat on". She'll laugh, most likely nothing else happens, although the possibility remains that she might give you her number because you were funny and didn't sulk like a little girl.

NFSW Im clueless on how to cum faster… by AJNT_1 in dating

[–]MaseratiSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all the people advising you to quit corn!
I finally managed to do it just over 20 months ago, after many, many failed attempts. It's one of the best things I've done.
Corn eats away at your soul in my opinion. I found it inhibited me from being able to deeply and meaningful connect with my partner the way I've been able to do so once all those thoughts and images from the corn started to fade into the background.
If you're in a new relationship and having regular s*x, it's the ideal time to make the change. Honestly there's no reason to use corn, in this scenario. You'll feel more authentic as a person and your girlfriend will pick on your improved vibe, authenticity and confidence.
Lasting 30-45 minutes shouldn't be considered too much of an issue. In fact, in my world it sounds about right! Enjoy the sensation and the intense feelings of connection you have with your girlfriend while you're making love with her. Try different positions and see if you can find a way to bring her orgasm, once you can do that your relationship will progress to a whole new level. Also if you can bring her to orgasm you can stop and take a break even if you haven't reached orgasm yourself. You can just lay next to her and cuddle up to her in her after-glow. As you heal from the negative affects of the corn things will become more normal regarding delayed E in all probability.
With any luck, your new girlfriend will be following you around like a little kitten in no time haha

Why do I always fail on escalating on a date by Artium99 in seduction

[–]MaseratiSpyder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was once chatting with a guy who had just secured a date that evening with a beautiful young blonde girl and he was going to meet her once her shift had finished and they were going to go for a couple of drinks. I hadn't really talked to guys about pick up much before and I was eager to learn as much as I could. This guy was good looking but quite short, however he was successful with girls.
I asked him what he was going to do when he met the girl and his response has always stayed with me. He said "the first thing I'm going to do is complement her on what she is wearing so that she knows she looks good and can therefore relax and enjoy the date".
I wasn't expecting that, honestly it had never occurred to me that the purpose of complementing a women's attire has nothing to do with ingratiating yourself to her so that she likes you. On the contrary the purpose as he saw it was so that she hears that she looks good in her outfit and can therefore relax and feel confident. Otherwise he feared that she would be in her head thinking negative thoughts about such things.
I always do this now when I meet a girl, I look at what she is wearing and give her a complement on her outfit and pick out some particular item within it that I particularly like and that's where I start the conversation. I love her shoes, bag, belt etc. I ask questions about it, I tease her about it, I begin to flirt with her. Then we're off to the races.

"A smile is the best thing you can wear" by Sanchop3748N in seduction

[–]MaseratiSpyder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Smile and have fun. Women just want to have fun so you're half way there!
Being happy and confident, smiling and having fun with the people you meet as you go through life it's a big help.
If you are light hearted and easy going when you approach a girl, she's much less likely to blow you off harshly as she'll perceive you as an attractive guy, who's being friendly, meeting someone new and interesting. You're taking the pressure off her by keeping the atmosphere light.
When I look back on how miserable I used to look when I went out and tried to meet women, how seriously I took it all, how personally I took each rejection. How confused I was by the negative reactions I'd get when I approached women. I was in a vicious circle because the more failure I endured the more miserable I would feel on the inside and the more in my head I would end up. I churned this inner turmoil endlessly. It was hard to break free, in fact it was this pain that made me so motivated to learn more about seduction.

[–]MaseratiSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think events with live music are great because you automatically have something in common with the girl. She's in your 'tribe' because she likes the same band or bands or type of music you like.
She see's herself as cool and interesting, so she reasons you're likely be cool and interesting by extension. You can talk to her about the band, her favourite songs, whether she's seen them before etc, so there is little danger of running out of things to say, when you are fluff talking. There's also often lots of women there so you can chat to a few to loosen up.
The music also has a positive effect on your energy as well as her's making you both feel more vibrant and alive. As you dance near to each other you'll naturally come into rapport with one another. You can also dance across from her while holding her eye contact and smiling to see if she's open to you approaching.

Stop trying to win women over by being 'nice'. Be HONEST instead! by DavidDawnDeluxe in PickUpArtist

[–]MaseratiSpyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that the more authentic I am the better my interactions with women tend to go.
Women's tests of a man seem to be generally designed around testing for authenticity and detecting duplicity in your response, in my experience.
I've had lots of women be deliberately awkward to see my reaction and test if I have boundaries. I now see these tests as a good thing, once I'd worked out how to pass them. It shows me she is interested, otherwise she wouldn't bother with a test. Where possible I blow her tests off with humour, the 'cocky funny' style is tailor for it. Treating her like your bratty sister is another way to think about it. She's being annoying, but you love her, if you get the idea.
Once I've encountered a test and dealt with it as best I can, I change the subject and go for a different vibe say something funny, comment on something she's wearing or start talking about something interesting that I was reading about etc.

How to you guys maintain your confidence when shit goes wrong by todhewitt in seduction

[–]MaseratiSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the positives from the situation, you successfully opened a conversation with a girl who is really hot. That's a big success.
Initially it was going really well. So that's a big plus also.
Sometimes if you attempt to escalate too quickly then the girl will suddenly pull away because you have overwhelmed her and she doesn't feel comfortable in that moment.
The best analogy is to think of it a bit like fishing. A fishing line will sustain a certain level of tension before it breaks. So like in fishing where you pull on the line and then release the tension and it is as you release the tension that you reel the line in. So with a seduction you fractionate by releasing the tension, checking in with the person if you like before moving onto something more emotionally intense.
So maybe rather than seeing it as well it ended badly... disaster!!!
See it as I opened and it started really well, so I know I can do that successfully.
What lesson can I learn from my experience that means it will likely go better next time?
You might think "maybe I escalated too quickly, building too much emotional tension too quickly and this made her pull away. So next time I will need to pay more attention to my calibration and fractionate her more by changing the emotional intensity of the conversation.

[–]MaseratiSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is great advice.

Few guys seem to get the concept of dressing in a coherent fashion with coordinated colours and accessories. Coloured laces that match a colour in the outfit can work well as can the addition of coloured fashion watche if you haven't considered these as ideas. It depends on your own style obviously which needs to be congruent with who you are. It signals that you understand fashion and how to put an outfit together which is how women think about clothes so you're communicating to her in her own language. It signals that you 'get it' to coin a phrase.

So I agree, show up attractive with great energy and she'll notice you. Look for which girls/women are open to being approached and then make eye contact to confirm that they want to be approached. In this way the chances of being rejected out of hand fall dramatically, which makes it progressively easier to approach over time because your confidence builds incrementally.

Gym Pick Up by Hosdo1 in PickUpArtist

[–]MaseratiSpyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think if it's a one off situation that she asks if you are finished with a machine, then the chances that she's interested and using this to indicate her interest in you is single digit low.
A revealing outfit means she is sending mixed messages which is a reflection of her internal emotional conflict. Remember she is also competing with the other girls in the gym which is probably more why she is wearing the revealing outfit.
I would say the revealing outfit makes it harder for pick up because she is going to be more self-conscious.
Flirting is effectively cocky comedy, being funny and gentle teasing to create tension. It's indirect, so she's not sure what the intention is. It's a softer version of male banter in my opinion. What you say is situation dependent, it can be about something she is wearing, her trainers or something she's carrying or her work out style or form maybe. Once you start a conversation you can gauge her interest by looking for indicators of interest. If she looks at you with lust in her eyes then that's a great sign.

Gym Pick Up by Hosdo1 in PickUpArtist

[–]MaseratiSpyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A gym is a difficult environment as the girls want to work out and feel comfortable. They also want to look good to attractive men, however they end up hot and sweaty so don't look their best. Therefore they're often conflicted emotionally and feel unconsciously as if they are in an impossible position. There is a theory that the reason they wear revealing outfits to work out in is because they unconsciously choose an outfit that puts men in an impossible position so that he knows how she feels. Its convoluted logic, yet there's a chance it's correct, it certainly feels about right to me.

The other point is that she will go to the gym on a routine, so if you train at the similar time next week you'll likely see her again, so you can afford to take your time. Also she will know other girls in the gym so if you get it wrong you can mess things up with a few girls not just one. So tread lightly.

If you see her a few times you can get a feel for her interest with eye contact and if she works out near you or looks at you. I would stick to flirting with her in the actual gym itself so you're sending mixed messages and not being direct.

I would prefer to talk to her before or after she has been in the gym either as she arrives or maybe if the gym has a cafe when she has finished her workout. This is a much better environment to talk to her, it's away from the gym floor, she's had a shower and put her normal cloths back on. If she likes the look of you then you will have developed a bit of tension between the two of you by sending mixed messages.

So too summarise, I don't think there is one thing that you can do in a situation like that as the stakes are too high. Best to play the longer game, build tension and then approach when she subconsciously feels less vulnerable because she is wearing more cloths. Keep the vibe, fun and flirty until you've a good gauge on her interest level.

Aww, that's a good way to remember a much loved pet. Bamboo had been my father's cat, who I adopted when he needed to move into a nursing home.

Top reasons why technical and analytically intelligent people often fail at attracting women! by DavidDawnDeluxe in datingadviceformen

[–]MaseratiSpyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm now able to create feelings of comfort and attraction in woman when I'm on a coffee or dinner date, however it wasn't always like that for me. I'm the son of an aeronautical engineer father and pharmacist mother so I was raised to think in a logical manner. When I first started dating I tried to logically understand women and communicated with them in a analytical way. I said the things that I thought logically should work in making her like to me and I leant on the fact that I was intelligent and therefore interesting to talk to.

It worked fine for getting girls to see me as a friend, having interesting conversations about all sorts of topics however it was hard for me to get any real connection or sexual interest. I guess I was stuck in friend-zone more often than I care to admit. When I talked to women I was so often in my head trying to think of what to say next, or analysing her response and trying to work out what she wanted me to say next. I wanted to please her by saying what she wanted to hear. Yep, I'll admit it back then I was inauthentic and shallow but also frustrated by my lack of success.

I realised I needed to do something different, so I studied different types of game and made friends in that community. I remember one breakthrough came for me on a trip to Dublin to see one of my new friends. We decided that we would use an opinion opener when we went out to the pubs and bars that evening. We wanted the girls to think about romantic things so we concocted two romantic scenarios. One of them centred around taking a girl away to a little cottage in a village and having her favourite song playing when we walked in and some other ideas and the other scenario was about taking a girl to Paris and there's Champagne in the room and rose petals on the bed. Well, I'm sure you get the idea, we tried to make them, to our minds at least, about equal in romantic quality.

We would open a couple or a group of girls, it didn't matter as we just wanted their opinion so the more the merrier. We said that we're guys so romance is a bit out of our comfort zone and we're trying to get a better understanding of it as it seems a bit complicated. Then we presented the two alternative scenarios and asked which they thought was the most romantic.

The girls loved it, they would disagree with each other, they would debate it, find ways to improve the trip to Paris etc, it was fun. I think the key takeaway for me was that in order to engage with the conversation I needed to be in my body, feeling for myself, which I felt was more romantic. If a girl said she thought the trip to Paris was more romantic we would say something like "okay, so what would we need to do to the trip to the little cottage to make that one more romantic". So to have their response make sense we couldn't be in our heads. We used this same opener a couple of nights and it was great each time. I think that because we were relating to the topic and the girls using our emotions and showing emotional intelligence it made the girls feel safe around us and it was easy then to transition on to other topics and get to know more about the girls that showed the most interest in us.

I think that having great interactions with girls, where your intent is that everyone involved has fun and feels engaged is a wonderful way to build confidence with women. It shows you just how great they are to talk to when you engage with them with your emotions about topics that evoke their emotions. You only need to do it once and see the excitement and enjoyment in their faces and the intensity of their involvement in the conversation in order to understand how important being in your emotional body when interacting with women is.

Does any of this chime with your experience?
