3 Reasons Why Inner Game Will Help Your Love Life

What Does Inner Game Mean? Inner Game is what we call the continual process of mental health with regards to dealing with attractive members of the opposite sex, and people in general. It also means replacing negative conditioned thoughts that you may have held since childhood about women and society, with positive one`s that are not only true, but help you as well.

Have you ever had great success in one venue, maybe house parties, but were unable to succeed with women you met other places, like perhaps Clubs?

Often it is easier for you to be cool and social in one venue than another. This is your comfort zone. You know what to say, how to say it, and who to say it too. But outside of that zone, you are toast! This is because we often use certain external techniques and social skills that do not really apply to every venue we might find ourselves in. When you have deep set beliefs that you are a high status male, and that no matter where you are, that you are among the elite males, then all these anxieties and problems fall away.

How? Because your strength and resolves makes other people change THEIR mode of behavior to suit yours. If Bill Clinton walked into a raging rock concert or hip hop concert, this one man, would have everyone in a completely different frame of mind, all begging to appease HIS way of interaction. The people bend to YOU.

Inner Game Positively Influences Your Body Language

Fifty-five percent of the communications signals we send results from how others see us

Thirty-eight percent flows from the way they hear us

Seven percent comes from our words

Having solid Inner Game allows your body language to accurately communicate. This is called congruence, when your words are matched by your attitude and body language. If you say Super Man things to a woman, but feel like Clark Kent inside, she WILL know, and you will get nowhere with her.

Inner Game Improves Every Aspect Of Your Life, Making You More Attractive

I saved the best for last. Inner Game development need not be limited to confidence and belief setting with women. It can apply to everyone, and life in general. You can rethink previous ideas, like you'll never be able to get into a good college, or you'll never make a good XYZ and then your subconscious will begin helping you to change so that these things can happen. What is best is that being successful in life ( and I don't mean being rich ) will make you doubly attractive to women, and that will raise your confidence even more. It is cyclical.

Conclusion

Not learning proper Inner Game techniques can lead to ALOT of frustration AND embarrassment too using seduction tactics that seem incongruent. Without Inner Game, no amount of "negging", or "cocky funny" will allow you to have lasting success with women.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Date by honoring your nervous system.

This took me a long while to realize, but once I did, it changed how I see dating and chemistry. Let me explain.

When you realize that chemistry and flying sparks have zero correlation with compatibility, you've leveled up your dating mindset.

Most often those sparks and butterflies you feel, that's your subconscious picking up on familiar toxic patterns in the other person. Patterns which remind you of past experiences or even childhood trauma. Our brains are designed to see familiarity as safe, so when toxic dynamics are all you know, this can turn against you. You have to conscious rewire your brain, and be intentional and aware of how they make you feel.

Toxicity = familiar = safe = we interpret it as attraction. If they make your nervous system go haywire, we see this as chemistry and sparks flying, but it is actually alarm bells going off to signal we are not safe.

Healthy = unfamiliar = can feel unsafe and scary. We may interpret a vanilla, calm, comfortable interaction as a lack of chemistry. But there is a difference between no physical attraction, and being attracted to someone but not feeling any sparks. The latter is normal in the beginning. If your nervous system feels calm, they make you feel comfortable and at ease, that's a good sign!

So if there's any advice I would give to my younger self, it's this: date based on how he makes your nervous system feel. Does he make you feel safe, comfortable, at ease? That's the green flag to go for.

Duolingo’s decision to lay off thousands of human translators and replace them with AI has sparked a heated controversy. Critics argue that this move disregards the value and expertise that human translators bring to the table.

edit: Additional link (posted Jan 8th, 2024) - "About 10% of contractors were “offboarded,” a company spokesperson said Monday. “We just no longer need as many people to do the type of work some of these contractors were doing. Part of that could be attributed to AI,” the spokesperson said.

Chief Executive Officer Luis von Ahn said in a November letter to shareholders that the company is using generative AI — a technology that lets users more quickly create text, speech and images — to produce “new content dramatically faster,” such as the scripts to shows that help teach languages. The company also uses AI to generate voices within the app and has introduced a premium tier, Duolingo Max, with AI-generated feedback and conversations in other languages."

From Struggle to Strength: My Experience with 'Mend The Marriage' - A Review

By : mendthemarriage.com

REVIEW OF "MEND THE MARRIAGE" BY BRAD BROWNING

OVERALL: 9.7 / 10 EFFECTIVENESS: 9.8 / 10 FORMAT: 9.4 / 10 VALUE: 9.9 / 10

SUMMARY: Brad Browning's "Mend the Marriage" program is easily the most comprehensive and most effective guide to stopping divorce and saving your marriage. After reviewing a number of similar products, I recommend "Mend the Marriage" as the #1 choice for anyone facing a marriage crisis.

FULL REVIEW: When I first stumbled across Brad Browning's new "Mend The Marriage" program, I thought it would be more or less the same as all the other similar products for sale on the internet.  Boy, was I wrong. This is one seriously awesome program, and I'm confident that it will give anyone whose marriage is 'on the rocks' the best possible chance of turning things around and living happily ever after with their spouse.

First of all, "Mend the Marriage" is easily the most thorough and comprehensive guide I've seen (and I've bought them all). It leaves no stones unturned: you may think that your situation is unique, and that any book on the topic can't possibly address the issues you're facing. Well, with "Mend the Marriage", that's definitely not the case! Brad has covered every possible scenario and "what if," meaning that by the time you've finished reading the program, your questions are almost certain to have been answered in depth.

Not only is it the most comprehensive program, it's also the only guide we're found that actually provides hundreds of real-world examples on how to apply Brad's techniques. Brad's chapter on how to handle arguments with your spouse, for example, has a bunch of incredibly effective and innovative techniques that will resolve conflicts quickly and without any lingering hard feelings... and the whole book is full of this kind of stuff.  Brad calls these "Immediate Impact Actions" -- things you can do to make an immediate positive difference.

Perhaps most importantly, it's very clear that the psychological techniques recommended in "Mend the Marriage" have been researched and tested by men and women in the real world.  Brad Browning is an experienced marriage coach, and his time working with married couples facing divorce is very evident throughout the book. He also includes a number of "Ask the Counsellor" boxes where a certified couples counsellor weighs in on a variety of hot topics.

Brad claims that almost all marriages can be salvaged, even if things seem hopeless right now... and while that may sound unreasonable at first, I actually tend to think he's being completely honest.  It's no stretch to imagine that, as he states on his website, anyone who reads and applies his techniques is almost guaranteed to see dramatic improvements in their marriage.  The testimonials on his website are clear evidence that this program works, too.

What about the program itself? The core of the program is a 240 page e-book, professionally written & presented. There's also an audio version and an excellent 7-part video series, plus three bonus e-books and some handy team-building worksheets.

The best part? It's all available *instantly* from Brad's website... there's no shipping fees and no waiting around for the mailman, because you can download the entire program within 2 minutes of ordering. That's great news, considering that when you're trying to stop divorce and win back your partner's love, time is of the essence!

If you're ready to get instant access to all of Brad's sneaky psychological tips and techniques, head over to his website and watch the free video presentation now. Trust me, you won't regret it... and it might just make the difference between "divorced and lonely" and "happily ever after".  Wishing you all the best.

The fact that you can use Botox for hypertrophic scars and burn wounds is so amusing to me. People would absolutely buy that Bruce Wayne spends insane sums on cosmetic treatments to stay young and good-looking, rather than assuming he needs to get rid of his litany of scars before the Wayne Enterprises corporate retreat.

#And also I assume for his various boyfriends lol #Even if they're the kind of freaks already dating Batman #*shrugs* #batman #bruce wayne #dc comics #Yes I know it doesn't work fast (I have also read the ancient texts/peer reviewed articles) #But it is just a silly headcanon #batman headcanon

Being a HVW is about having a set of principles, values, standards. Your education, your poise and manners, your empathy and self-respect. Not about being a docile stay at home wife that has no hobbies, no inner life of her own, who will do everything to please her high-earning partner - those are personal choices, not HVW qualities. Furthermore they are not a healthy mindset to have because it's the setup for people-pleasing and some very unhealthy & unbalanced power dynamics in a relationship.

Dark feminine is not about manipulating men, seducing them, getting them obsessed with you or any of those things. That's the focus of the wounded feminine, which is anchored in its pain and stuck in trying to control others, it feels the need to get revenge or "balance the scales" to get back at the male figure(s) in her life that have wounded her. It's about being stuck in that energy of feeling insecure, needing exernal validation, anger at the wounding, and wanting to transform in a way that will make another person regret hurting you. The dark feminine is both the dark aesthetic (think black clothes, smoky eyes, red lips and nails, etc) and the more taboo, wild or unconvential qualities of a woman in her power. Crystal-clear boundaries, a hard "No. I said what I said." but still having integrated self-love and empathy, it's just knowing where, and with whom, to selectively share it with. It's about learning to embrace your darkness, your wildness, not being afraid of it, doing shadow work like journaling about your fears, traumas, triggers etc. The dark feminine is also the one most associated with the Wild Woman / Enchantress female archetype. Meanwhile, the light feminine aesthetic/energy is more associated with Maiden archetype (innocent, pure, maidenlike, luminous, angelic). That's why I mean the dark feminine & wounded feminine are not the same, they simply have a crossover.

Hypergamy, in its essence, is about having a high vision for yourself and your life, working on achieving the best life for yourself, and that also includes selecting a partner that is of equally high value and financial prosperity as well. It's not about making your entire life's purpose to find a high-earning husband. That by itself won't give you a secure life, and a smart high value woman will know that. What if he falls out of love and leaves you with nothing to show for 10-20 years wasted by his side, when you were so preoccupied with pleasing his every whim, that you forgot to have some income sources of your own, to invest in your education, to nurture your spirit, hobbies, etc?

Glowing up is about becoming your best self. As long as you still base your highest self as being defined in relation with a guy, you'll never find true fulfillment or happiness, because you're not honoring your authentic self... and that is, to become your own dreamgirl.
