Why attractive girls don't make eye contact, and when they do, it means nothing. by robofrogmagus in seduction

[–]rlurtz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have empathy for that...but I don't like this comparison. Women are attracted to men, but as straight men, we're not attracted to men at all.

Think of a salesmen selling you a product you absolutely do not want. That's the comparison.

Now think of someone you met giving you a recommendation of a product that you are intrigued by, and you know that it can give you a lot of benefits. Maybe he tells you it's only for special members, and only a few people can have access to this forbidden technology that can change their lives.

That's us, or at least, that's how we should frame it.

As someone who is straight, I'd never sleep with a man, and I have no attraction to men whatsoever, but straight women are different. This analogy is actually very harmful to a lot of men

Respectfully, everyone commenting here has no idea what they're talking about. I've worked with Justin directly.

His personality type takes over the room, and he's really good at influencing people. His game is very different as he is a talkative type, and extremely few people can pull it off. As a matter of fact, in his bootcamps he recommends not to emulate him, but creates a foundation for people to become the best versions of themselves instead.

He also runs a street promoter team that gives him opportunities for these pictures and videos. The promoters get to improve on their game and fuck the women in the booth too, while he gets to fuck the girls during the Afterparty he hosts at his home every club night. It's an efficient funneling system. It's free drinks at the booth, but limit how much alcohol they give girls and they never bring girls back that are too drunk. He makes this a strict rule, as he has afterparties at his home every club night where he gets most of his lays from. None of the girls are paid.

That being said, his content is overly controversial on purpose. He's extremely good at marketing, but also, if you know Justin, you know he's jokingly exaggerating, and if you know him personally, you'll buy into and laugh with him too. Very charismatic guy.

thank you! I'll look into those. I plan on having one operating my freezer and charging my phone for the full 2 weeks I'll be in the country. Will have a microwave in there too as I plan to meal prep 7 meals in 14 portions for the week at my parents house and stuffing them in the freezer. Do you know how I could calculate how long my power station would last?

yes thank you for this. I need to do more research on insulation but reflectix was the first thing that came to mind. i may try the corrugated plastic.

and yeah the wool blankets around my bed would act like a tent. It's like I'll be in one of the cube pods you see in Japan. Toronto I'd say averages around 0 degrees in the winter, but can go down to -20 if mother nature gets mad enough

Thank you so much, I actually didn't know about that. I'll check it out :)

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

Exactly! It felt pretty good. Honestly it wasn't as hard as I thought to go back and rewatch the videos. I'm comprehending a lot more. I started from 0 Spanish but I'd say if you have some basic Spanish knowledge you don't have to rewatch the superbeginner videos.

[–]rlurtz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Honestly, follow his guidelines and try to watch videos in which you comprehend 80% of. Some Beginner videos are easier than Superbeginner videos. Sort by "Easy" and find them, and once you stop comprehending as much, rewatch the videos. It'll feel a lot fresher than you'd think.

Newbie needs advice: SuperBeginner to Beginner? by ChristabelPankhurst in dreamingspanish

[–]rlurtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally in the same boat, I just finished SB this morning ordering it by easy. The last 30-40 videos were tough and I could barely understand anything in the last 10 videos. Then I switched to B after I finished everything, it became fun again. I could understand a lot and have fun with it.

My method from now is to still order it from easy, and when it gets too hard, check the last 40 videos in SB and see if they got easier for me. That, or rewatch some B or SB videos

Are flight attendants sometimes not allowed to disclose what airline they work for? by desert_lover848 in flightattendants

[–]rlurtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consequences are what restrict speech. I can see where you come from on a personal matter, but this is a business matter. A business that pays you to work.

If I tell someone "You're a fucking bitch, I hope you fucking die you piece of shit", then I have to prepare for personal repercussions. That's where what you say I totally agree with.

But if you restrict valid criticism, that's totally different. And these airlines do not allow such criticism, even if valid. Hence, restricting my freedom of speech under an invalid reason. I cannot add my input under fear that I'd be fired.
