I've had insomnia for most of my adult life, and it has progressively gotten worse. I have a type of insomnia, called terminal insomnia. I'll go to sleep just fine, and then wake up three to five hours later, tired, but full of cortisol and adrenaline. I've tried everything natural to cure...

I know there's some people on here that have had some success with swipe apps. What about 10, 15, or 20 year age gaps? Could there be any consistency with that?

Ars Amatoria - Wikipedia I thought this was interesting. Written during the Roman Republic by an author named Ovid. Some of the concepts he wrote about sounds a lot like the concepts you'll find on this forum.

"Romantic love, in the full sense of the term, is an emotion possible only to the man (or woman) of unbreached self-esteem: it is his response to his own highest values in the person of another—an integrated response of mind and body, of love and sexual desire. Such a man (or woman) is incapable...

There's a fine line between learning from other people's successes and failures and judging yourself by other people's standards.

I do see attractive women here and there, but I don't see as many as I used to. I go window shopping/people watching every Saturday afternoon and see attractive women. Ever since I've gotten away from the college scene, the type of women who I look for are becoming rare. Anyone else have...

The paradigm for psychopathic and deviant personality. (apa.org) In other words, not conforming to the irrationality of the majority of the people is a 'problem.' Using conformity as a standard for mental health is problematic for a number of reasons. The proper standard for mental health...

Going for a gestalt understanding with my experiences, observations, and thoughts from all sources. Feel free to critique

I like to be around young, smart people and like to do something active. Play volleyball, shoot pool, etc. I have some ideas about how to do this but I want to see other people's take.

I've noticed this more and more over time. Young women in particular, and especially if the woman doesn't like you. In response I give myself a smirk in proportion to how overt the negging is to indicate how petty I think that attitude is. What have any of you noticed and how do all of you...

I was talking to a young lady and she was telling me how she uses guys for all kinds of things. Basically beta orbiters. I've noticed this a bit before with other women, but while talking to her it seemed to me that she felt completely justified in leading them on. I didn't say anything about...

Masculinity = Effective control of the environment Femineity = Admiration of masculinity. George Harrison - What Is Life (youtube.com) People don't usually think of an artist as a masculine character because how people typically associate masculinity and how they associate with a typical...

Introduction: I’ve done some really stupid things over the last few years. Learning from my mistakes and taking a deep dive into them has made me uniquely qualified to teach these basic concepts for the newbies, and to give the oldbies something interesting to read. Enjoy. Part one...

Part One, The Symptom: When I say special, I mean it. As far as I know, I’m the first person who has ever made the following mistake. Back in April of 2020 I married a woman whom I was not attracted to in the sexual or romantic sense. For the first six months I suspected that the problem was...

I made thread on this subject months ago but the topic was derailed. I believe women can think logically and suppress their emotions, but are inclined not to for a combination of evolutionary and social reasons. There is a common belief in the manosphere that irrationality is innate to women...

I've gotten some OLD matches but I don't feel all that interested in any of them like I used to five years ago. I think it's the stress leftover from 2020. I've noticed a general decline in vitality everywhere I look. Is it me or do you guys agree? I think the solution is to do things that...

I make observations with people and relationships, and mental health is a strong precursor on how good you are at communicating with others. People who are not good at maintaining relationships or attracting the opposite sex have poor mental health; and often hate themselves. A lot of this...

The exposure of the absurd.
