That's quite interesting.

Mystery has been on a few shows on YT. He said his method now is about meeting 'people' (instead of 'just' hitting on girls) and integrating himself into friend groups/merging his and the friend group of the girl that interests you. Like this you get the comfort and pre-selection automatically with it. According to him it's more effective, especially when sth longer should come out of it.

I think that could be a viable strategy in the modern dating environment, where women size you up for your social prowess.
I've said for years familiarity and proximity are your greatest weapons in dating and seduction

A woman's attraction for you can 50X just by simply hanging around long enough with her

Female attraction is entirely subjective to her perception of you , most men dont get long enough to make any kind of meaningful impression

problem is after about 28 theres no real mechanism for men to socialise outside of work / hobbies both of which will be very unlikely to have a high volume of single women your able to socialise with

I've actually had to travel to the other side of the world to try and meet people

Entirely too many of us stop "putting ourselves out there" before 28, in favor of retreating into fantasy worlds of video games, binge watching, and social media. If you live in any decent sized-large metropolitan area, you're surrounded by s-itloads of venues in which to meet new, high-quality people

Yes except that at school you see them everyday for 5 hours for free without any need to put any show.

I disagree slightly. My point was that it'll be easier to get closer to a girl if her friends also approve of you. Therefore you're swimming less against the stream. According to Mystery he'd integrate himself during the first night. It'd still be fast enough for pickup.

If you hang out longer with her, you'd become too familiar which kills attraction and you'd end up in the friendzone. Also the more time you spend with her, the more time for you to **** up.

I also don't think spending more time with a girl, will make her more interested in you. It'd eliminate obstacles for sure.

Lo and behold, enriching our lives often requires that we engage in well-thought out efforts, in order to do so!!! Such revelations are more shocking than learning that CAA plans to drop Zendaya as a client, the minute her looks begin to fade, and her absence of dramatic chops becomes impossible to overlook

I consider “The one who got away” as a woman I met while on a three week backpacking excursion 20 years ago on the other side of the country - we had dinner a couple times in the city even when I was dating my former wife - to boot we ran into each other on the subway a couple weeks ago and she’s now right under my nose (I mean works next to my fvcking office now), but married now with kids. I said I would never date women with kids but there is an exception to everything and I would partridge family that btch right up.

The article highlights Running Clubs as an alternative to traditional dating apps. It offers a unique way for people to connect with like-minded individuals while engaging in physical activity. Unlike dating apps, running Clubs fosters genuine connections and friendships through shared experiences and mutual interests. The app's founder claims it has led to numerous meaningful relationships and marriages among its users. Combining socializing with exercise, Running Clubs provides a refreshing alternative to the typical swiping culture of dating apps.
Well, there shouldn't be any fat chicks at least. :rolleyes:

True Forced Loneliness prophet "Roller" Steve Hoca took up marathon running as a way to keep his mind off of being Incel, by "having hobbies". :rolleyes:

I can confirm ive met several women at running events lately and also in a running group i frequent
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

Is Mystery still putting out new content? lol. Respect. I agree that women are burned out on apps and are desperate to find a quality man through other means. InterNations.org is pretty good and typically has less autism than MeetUp.com. Meeting people in general and showing women you can be social is 10x better than dating apps.
