I realised that i like him but i still don't like his personality dressing sense and the way he spoke. I dont know how is this possible please someone tell me thus and help me get over him

  2. Remember, attraction comes in many forms, shades, extremes, and preferences. Nobody is 100% the same, and some don't feel any attraction beyond just platonic.

  3. I had an awakening into how to get laid.

    One time, when I was in a profound, high-consciousness awakened state, I started contemplating the nature of attraction, the nature of how to attract the feminine. I had a sudden insight into the essence of attraction. By this point I had spent years learning attraction and I had done thousands of cold approaches. I understood game both conceptually and experientially already. But this insight was on another level. Within seconds I grasped the key to attracting all women, I grasped the essence of it: psychedelics!

    Attractive interaction with women is about one thing: psychedelics. You vibe with them through that psychedelic energy. This is the master key to success with women. The inability to access that psychedelic state is why guys fail at attracting girls. All of game is about training yourself to enter a psychedelic mode. This is especially difficult for highly logical, uptight, introverted, socially inexperienced, anxious, cerebral, autistic men. Anxiety, fear, insecurity, and overthinking destroy one’s ability to tap into that psychedelic energy. The reason alcohol is so popular is because it automatically shuts down anxiety, fear, insecurity, logicality, and overthinking, making it effortless to access that state. But of course alcohol is unhealthy so I never used it.

    All of game is about learning how to manipulate your own mind to enter a psychedelic state at will, from which attracting women is both effective and effortless. Psychedelics require genuine relaxation and enjoyment. You cannot fake that state while being anxious and serious. Your mind and body must be relaxed. Psychedelics require having no attachment to outcome and no scripted lines. This is why scripted pickup lines do not work and why what you say does not matter. What matters is the psychedelic energy behind everything you say. When you are in that state, knowing what to say stops being a problem. You stop worrying about or running out of things to say to the girl.

    This is a master-level insight. An insight that even the best pickup coaches do not teach because they do not comprehend its significance. It is THE solution to all of game. The equivalent of Peter Ralston's insight into mastery of Judo. I can use this one master insight to teach any man how to be good with women. I can build a whole course around it. But, of course, implementing it still requires a lot of training because the logical mind does not enter that psychedelic state easily. This is also why you cannot logically become good at game through reading books or understanding theory. And there are other important aspects to success in this field like learning how to handle logistics.

    But there is a deeper point here than teaching you game. The reason for this post is that I wanted to teach you the power of Awakened consciousness. I was only able to have this insight thanks to being in a state of God-Consciousness. People often wonder, “But DMTdreamz, of what use is Awakening and God? What will it do for me? It can’t get me laid, so what’s the point?” Well, actually, that’s wrong! It can get you laid. You can use God-Consciousness to have insight into any aspect of reality, from getting laid, to raising children, to art, to business, to investing, to science, to therapy. Of course, that is not a legitimate reason to pursue Awakening or God, but it is a nice ancillary benefit. You should be using God-Consciousness to generate powerful insights into relative, material domains of life and using that to act more intelligently and effectively in the world. There are profound insights to be had that you are missing in every domain of human life. So go get them.

  4. 🚨 Public Science PSA 🚨
    Stop right there. This video claims humans have pheromones. They don’t. If this one claim is false, guess what—your trust in the rest of the video as science should drop to zero. Ms. Maslor: you’re not a PhD in bioanthropology, psychology, or biology, and it shows. Here’s a fix: export your transcript, upload it to ChatGPT, and prompt it to fact-check every claim against current primary research. Get timestamps, claims, and verdicts: true, contested, or falsified. Edit out the falsehoods, repost a corrected video, and maybe apologize to your 21.8 million viewers for the misinformation brain-plant.

    Lesson for viewers: viral ≠ valid. One falsified claim is a red flag. Fact-checking is easier than ever. Smells can influence humans, but pheromones? Not a thing.

    Footnote – ChatGPT-5 Generated Meta-Analysis:
    "Humans do not have confirmed pheromones. Chemosignals in sweat or breath can subtly influence mood, hormones, or social perception, but there is no molecule that triggers a stereotyped, specific behavioral response via a dedicated receptor pathway. The supposed “human pheromones” like androstadienone or estratetraenol are inconsistent, context-dependent, and humans use the main olfactory system, not a functional vomeronasal organ, for social chemosignaling. Smell influences behavior, but humans do not have pheromones that pull people like magnets." — ChatGPT-5

  5. life its self is nothing more than a scripted play of events and happens
    and everything is set on course to play out a certain way
    everything thing is planned down to every last detail from start to end

  6. What i got from this is, to attract someone.

    1.make sure your skin and hair are in best shape even if you are not in your best appearance.

    2. Don't wear perfume that is agaisnt your body type specially during ur ovulation. Or mabe try wearing the same cloth on your ovulation day so faint smell of ur perfume remain along with your natural body odour.

    3. Make sure to pause and talk.. gives you enough time to take that breath and think what you want to say next.

    4.Make sure you have a good breath before potential kiss.

    5. On your interactions make them hold something warm.

  7. whatever scintific reason you want to give but if you gets attracted to someone there is no checklist you need to follow every person have different perspective looking the world around them sometime even if you find someone unattractive due to any particular reason besides he/she is not toxic or harming your mental wellbeing if you are genuienlly inclined then you can adjust if you understand that nobody is perfect you can say to yourself you know I don't like this thing about him/her nevermind nobody is perfect we can work this out

  8. With your great love prayers Dr Dunika my husband who left me with my son for another lady came back begging me to forgive him let's be together again I appreciate it very much and I recommend it to anyone with the same problems 💖

  9. People say don't listen to her words, watch her actions. What am I supposed to do? All girls say "I want a nice stabile guy", but go to the ones who fight, I'm not criminal, I can't do that. What am I supposed to do?

  10. There are tons of people out there with perfect faces except for one detail that ruins it all. I don't believe stuff like "You're beautiful just the way you are", it's like a fake positive statement, beautiful people are still liked more.

  11. My kids father is effecting my new relationship with his friend he is making it personal that I am enjoying my happiness with his friend I am in love with I can't be wrong he slept with my cousin and fell in love cause of that man I can't see my daughter

  12. When you can imagine, how nice just getting hugged by a girl you like, and still go on living your life, doing your things, having that thought in the back of your head, and not say it to her, because you don't need it, but still making her feel it when you meet. Start there. 👍🤗

  13. Great video explaining in detail how the process of attraction occurs. However, attraction is more than that. For me, personality and shared values are what attract me to a person, whether that's a romantic or platonic relationship. If they are appealing physically, but not so appealing character-wise, my attraction disappears in one millisecond.
