[quote1236719509=Muk]The game teaches you to not care about the outcome of interactions, but there seems to be a contradiction. you spend all of this time studying behavior and what attracts women but when you meet them, you're not supposed to care? but that's a different topic altogether.[/quote1236719509]
The word 'care' isn't correct man. It's not the we don't care how the interaction turns out, because we do. We all genuinely enjoy women and their company, otherwise we wouldn't go through the shit we've gone through for them.
Instead, 'care' means that you shouldn't let the outcome of an interaction impact you as a person. You shouldn't internalize the outcome, regardless of whether it's good or bad.
This is why I always say that the difference is indifference. If you're indifferent about what someone thinks of you, then you're not going to let their reaction to you change who you are, or who you are striving to be. Remember that, indifferent about what someone thinks, not indifferent about people in general. It's a fine line for sure, but an important distinction.
As for your other comments, I've hung out with you a few times and never really got the whole happy go lucky vibe from you, whereas I see Smirks, Vector, PP, and others and get the I'm here to have fun vibe from them. So, you see, we could just as easily ask you the exact same question...why so serious Muk?
