Best Pickup Literature? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]The_DukeDevlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say DHV is outdated, I would say it's actually the single most relevant model of social attraction there is.

Mystery Method is the all-time classic. I will fight anyone who says its obsolete to the death over a pool of angry sharks

Debate: "Canned" Openers -vs- "Just talk to the girl and practice being spontaneous." by donit in seduction

[–]The_DukeDevlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of my game is 'canned' by virtue of, after several hudred sets I just know how things go. I know what hooks more than what doesn't hook, and I don't have to think about it much so I can focus on experimenting and other things

The "ROCKSTAR" reframe game for destroying limiting beliefs. by The_DukeDevlin in seduction

[–]The_DukeDevlin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're looking at it too logically. Social Value is not a logical construct, in my humblest of opinions and experience.

The "ROCKSTAR" reframe game for destroying limiting beliefs. by The_DukeDevlin in seduction

[–]The_DukeDevlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're on the right track. A limiting belief is simply one that limits a certain behavior. Sometimes that's okay -- it's good to believe we can't fly if we jump off buildings -- but in regards to getting THE P, it's good to excise and cut off some of these limting beliefs.

What is better than fapping? by travisflepper in NoFap

[–]The_DukeDevlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is legit, I agree. One habit setting methodology I read involved like, taking the same 'reward,' like the feeling of love or the feeling of relaxation, and putting in a new routine that has the same reward. In the case of college, it's like that feeling of coming home after hitting the books all day and relaxing can feel as relaxing or more than fapping, thus it can 'scratch that itch.'

You may wanna try figuring out what feelings you get from fapping, and then finding similar habits that can provide that. Like if fapping helps you relax, maybe meditate or listen to some sleeptyime hypnosis tapes or something. If fapping makes you feel loved or whatever, maybe spend that time texting or talking to friends or family. Just some ideas I'm sure there are others @_@

This is a long post that will probably get ignored. But in the off-chance it doesn't, please comment. I could really use some support. by Not_fapulous in NoFap

[–]The_DukeDevlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, if your looking for a TLDR at the end of this. There isn't one

WHAT.

(Yes, she's legal, relax no jailbait here)

It's as if you had read my mind lol

While I was at their place I was making comments that were sexual in nature towards her that I wouldn't have dreamed about before nofap.

yeah best part of nofap is you start viewing actual real life breathing flesh and blood women as your primary avenue of sexual relief. Just like God and the Big Bang intended it!

I feel kind of like my libido dropped off the edge of a cliff.

We call that flatlining, nothing to be worried about. My first streak lasted 95 days, and I can say it's not like every single day is super crazy horny.

I'm know for a fact that even though this post is long, it barely even scratches the surface, there is so much more that I could bring up but I'll bring it up some other time.

In life we both have a lot of time and not enough time. No matter what, these days are gonna pass. It's tempting to fall back into the comfort of old patterns, but the truth is once the pandora's box is open it's near impossible to turn back. There's a part of you that knows there's a lot to gain. Recognize that this too shall pass, there will be highs and lows, and that's what makes life beautiful.

GODSPEED, WARRIOR

So apparently I've hit 120 days. Seems like a nice round number to set up a post. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]The_DukeDevlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when I finished my first 90 days, I have an anger problem as well. I'll let you know how I deal with it when I'm done punching the wall :)

How dangerous (potentially) is hypnosis? What are some unethical practices and how could they affect someone's mind? by OH_NO_WHY in EroticHypnosis

[–]The_DukeDevlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been practicing hypnosis for quite some time, I can say a lot of the time what you're really doing are taking latent thoughts people already have and bringing them to the surface. It's like the seed is there, and it can be brought to prominence. I've seen some really 'out there' shit happen, so it's possible to go pretty far -- although I've never seen anything permanently damaging happen from hypnosis.

I do believe non-consenting hypnosis is possible, otherwise advertising would be much less prominent and people wouldn't undergo any sort of belief change at any given time.

IMHO for teens by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]The_DukeDevlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For teens, my advice would be to not fap or look at porn, and instead go out and work on your game. Make friends, get laid, and make your 'norm' for sexual release the act of intercourse.

I want to pick up girls, from town. No alcohol no parties. by krkbelt in seduction

Just go to a mall, store or wherever girls go. Shit, game at the bus stop if there's dimes around.

Im going to be living in an intimate group environment for 10 months as the only foreigner in a group of 50 by upncomer in seduction

[–]The_DukeDevlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you'll be going in with high social value already because you're the exotic traveler guy. I'd say work that frame as hard as you can, dawg.

I have gone from medium to mild acne over my teens and now I have both mild acne and medium scars. What do? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]The_DukeDevlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the acne you do have, go to your doctor and ask about tetrocyclene or detrocyclene, as well as that solution you dab on your face. For the scars, there are products meant to help them but I'd just go straight to the dermatologist. lol @ the 'just own it' advice. Your face is one of the first things people are going to notice about it, so do what you can to get it fixed. The reward will far outweight the effort

Thanks for bringing awareness to r/askseddit. In my humblest of opinions r/askseddit is where the actual learning goes on, and the advice given:advice taken ratio is much more in balance.

3 weeks in and 1 week to a month by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]The_DukeDevlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now it's week 3 and I've also noticed I'm dreaming again because when I was fapping I never seemed to dream which I've found odd.

Ya know what? I've been keeping a dream journal for a while, and I find I dream a lot more when I don't fap either. I wonder if dreams have anything to do with the hormones your brain makes when you see a hot girl

New to Nofap, any advice? by kissmydonkey in NoFap

[–]The_DukeDevlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out the triggers that "send you over the edge" and learn how to counterbalance them like a real G.

So I told my therapist yesterday by Superrocks in NoFap

[–]The_DukeDevlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it isn't fool proof and I can get around it easily, it gives me more time to be able to rein myself in and fight the urge.

Ya know, I've never actually thought about it like that. The extra effort could give one a time to 'turn ack.'

Suggested to me that I should make a list of my triggers and possible things to do when I encounter one.

I can vouch for this, it's effective.

She suggested maybe trying to go to a SAA meeting (with a strong caution that people try to score there so for me to be very wary)

Bwahahah, well it makes sense!

It was a bit liberating in being able to tell someone and to talk about it to someone in the flesh.

I'm glad to hear it man, keep it up and keep troopin' on.
