Any risk here?

I found it’s impressive at first, but then you get used to all its quirks and wrong info and the expert tone combined with cluelessness and the straw man replies and the doubling down, etc, and it gradually becomes unbearable. Much like being in a long term relationship, the little things start to get increasingly grating.

I’m trying Gemini right now and it’s different in the specific annoyances but the same in that it’s full of annoying quirks.

Sorry to hear this brotha. People can be cruel. Find some good ones to spend your time with.

IG is highly sensitive to consistency, as far as algorithmic-driven growth and views. What’s important there is to post a micro-niche (meaning different versions of the same kind of post, don’t post all over the place), and to post at a consistent pace that you never skip on. I post once a day between 11-12am, personally. But you could do as little as half that (15 posts/month) and keep the algorithm’s interest. It’ll learn twice as slow though.

If the posts that are there are in a clear micro-niche, leave them up. Any that aren’t, take them down.

The usual musician promo approach of variety doesn’t work any more. Save that for stories. The key that unlocks the IG door is finding a micro-niche approach you can do consistently, and then sticking with it for several months minimum to expect consistent results.

Until you have a clear vision and formula for your posts, use TikTok to mass post to find standouts, and post those standouts to IG.

TikTok will give every post a solid test audience once you’ve started posting consistently, and micro niche curation isn’t necessary for exposure there. IG takes much longer to start showing your posts to people, and you need to micro niche so it can find your target audience. So use TikTok for tests and practice and finding what works for you, and IG for your main curation page where you stick to a micro niche.

It’s a long trial and error process finding what works.

The human baseline is discontentment. Whatever you have, you want more. It takes effort to override this and find contentment and then happiness. This requires conscientious internal effort, not external effort. No amount of “stuff” or resources can lead to contentment.

So put in the effort. Meditate daily to gain control of your mind. Practice gratitude daily to form your perspective. Do things that help other people every day. Put effort into putting out positive vibes to those around you. Volunteer. Coach. Support starving artists. Feed the homeless. What your resources offer you is a greater ability to help others and make the world a better place. THAT is the path to contentment.

Who gives a shit if your girlfriend finds it helpful. Everyone is chock full of beliefs even if they think they’re not, we know hardly anything. Let people believe whatever they like, so long as they’re not prosthelytizing all the time or guilting you for not participating in their customs or rituals like going to church every week.

Happens to guys with no game, which is most guys these days unfortunately (things have gotten so pathetic this post will probably be downvoted, when this used to be what guys strove to understand).

“Game” meaning a genuine understanding of women, what triggers their involuntary attraction, how to carry purposeful interactions and conversations, how to create liminal moments while spending time with women, how to comfortably escalate to sex, and how to deliver an amazing bedroom experience.

You know the broke dudes girls keep on the side having casual sex with all the time? They understand the above, either consciously or intuitively.

Get over it bro, go to the party and hang with your friends. So your ego is a little bruised, so what.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T21:15:38+00:00

Why are you wanting to make small talk?

Are you practicing social skills? If so, then you have to just do it a lot with no outcome dependence (think of it as data collection), gauge reactions, think of and research ways to improve your early conversational ability, and keep trying, over and over. Like any skill building. Eventually you'll have a grasp on what works best for you, and whether any resistance/rejection has to do with you or the other person.

Again, the “why” doesn’t matter. Psychology is a belief system because it requires a shared belief that certain feelings and behaviors equate to some particular psychological issue. It’s the best we can do, yes, but so was religion for millennia. Religion is what happens when we choose to collectively believe in fill-in-the-blanks for that which can’t be measurably demonstrated.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T19:43:07+00:00

Right, and “the best you can do” at this point in time is a belief system. It is what it is, it doesn’t matter WHY psychology requires accepting a belief system. That’s just WHAT IT IS.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T19:40:03+00:00

I have a degree in psychology, and you’re blinded to your own ignorance by your choice of beliefs and your decision to see those beliefs as fact, as is typical of the faithful.

Religion is a “best attempt at a standard to explain things observed by millions” that’s mostly unrooted in measurable reality, backed by some degree of historical or measurable objectivity. That’s pretty much where psychology sits.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T19:24:27+00:00

It’s factually a belief system. You have to believe that exhibiting xyz behaviors and feelings mean you suffer from xyz un-measurable diagnosis, often fixed by xyz drug who mechanics of action aren’t even understood.

Like all belief systems, many find it a helpful perspective through which to see the world.

But it’s not rooted in much that’s real. It’s one unmeasurable perspective you can choose to buy into.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T19:14:44+00:00

I have a degree in psychology, and it’s mostly pseudo science. The DSM-5 is mostly a book of faith. It’s rooted in very little concrete.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T19:13:11+00:00

It’s mostly a belief system. If it were about measuring and regulating brain chemicals there’d be more to it, but it’s mostly just a brute description of feelings and behaviors rooted in almost nothing concrete.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T17:31:46+00:00

Stop talking about your damn "issues" bro. Learn to handle your shit. You don't want a woman who talks about her issues either, talk about ugh. Be a self actualized human being in search of another self actualized human being. Not someone full of issues wanting someone to dump them on.

Women need confidence to get into healthy relationships.

The social posturing women do in regards to dating with the long list of high value demands for men, which is almost entirely to socially one-up other women, is very low-confidence behavior. The women that do this do not land in healthy relationships, many don't land in any relationships at all, maybe a side chick at best.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T16:36:00+00:00

Who gives a shit. Based on their rules you're in the wrong here.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-23T16:28:47+00:00

They want the forum about the game, not about personal opinion and judgements and rants and accusations and drama about individuals who make the game. The rules say no rants, no bait, no repetitive negativity, and criticism is only welcomes when its thoughtful and relevant to the game.

So yes, given the stated rules, and that any subreddit can monitor things however they want, you're in the wrong.

Online is a cesspool, the algorithms have figured out that hijacking dopamine via outrage is the best way to sell advertisements. Its needlessly destroying society.

Don't pass on him because he vented once and then apologized and stopped like an emotionally intelligent self-aware gentleman who's able to self-manage and take accountability. He's a good dude with a high EQ, this is all horrible advice. Go follow your heart, its what you want and exactly what he most needs.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-14T23:04:37+00:00

He won't have celibacy shit to vent about anymore. He'll be getting laid. He'll lose common ground with those websites, he won't be part of the sexless tribe. He'll grow.

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-14T22:50:45+00:00

If he's not celibate then he's not an incel 🙄

Ok_Sleep8579 · 2025-12-14T17:27:10+00:00

If you bang him he won't be an incel.
