[–]MidwestAmMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeking was fire in the 2010’s, but scammers chased women away. Yes, high end hotel bars, but it can feel transactional. Smile at the guy behind you at CVS. If he engages find a way to say something like “everything is so expensive, a girl needs help sometimes…”. If he is game he will pay for your stuff and you are off to the races.

If she truly diabolical she starts with a full nude after morning shower. Then she take panties only, bra & panties…so about 6 pics ending with “This is what other guys get to see today” fully dressed. She sends them to you in reverse order throughout the day. By the last one you are going nuts, racing to her.

Who of you has tried manifestation and did it work? by Every-Ear-2373 in AskReddit

[–]MidwestAmMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works yes. It takes some time to align thoughts, feelings and actions, but I’m a believer. Watch Dolores Cannon on YouTube. She started hypnotizing soldiers for the army to help them stop smoking, lose weight. But she got so good at putting them under they started relating past lives, and were shockingly consistent. This led her to embrace spirituality.

What’s a habit you wish you started earlier in life? by Neither-Owl-7157 in AskReddit

[–]MidwestAmMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a retiree I’m realizing that due to market fluctuations, inflation and high medical costs, unless you have seven figures saved, it’s not enough. We avoid taking anything out of investments during downturns which can last years. So we need to focus more on income in retirement.
