My wife epically trolled some confused red pillers, what it reveals...

She had an odd fixation with the AskTRP subreddit; for those who don't know this is an online "male space" - a very male space. And there's no problem with that, from golf courses to cigar lounges, men deserve their own spaces to talk as they please. But I'll earn the ire of the denizens of this particular subreddit by exposing their astounding gullibility and naivety here.

It's naive to deny that drugs can be a shortcut to confidence.

In the past 12 years, I've self-experimented with over 200 smart drugs along with a variety of brain training software apps and mindfulness techniques. During this period I've also put in well over seven thousand hours practicing a range of social dynamics skill sets. I'm not going to lie; it's been pretty damn fun.

Over this time I've received innumerable emails and communicated with a spectrum of people suffering silently from what I think is quite likely the most insidious mental illness of our time; social anxiety. Which, believe it or not, is something I too have to deal with from time to time. The Biohacking Protocol which follows presents a novel, yet holistic approach to beating social anxiety.

A witty and in-depth discussion with my beautiful Bulgarian wife about Western men dating abroad, seeking asylum from modernity with the unashamedly feminine women that can be found in Medellin, Colombia, Odessa, Ukraine, or Sofia, Bulgaria--where I filmed this clip pretending to daygame her and her little dog...

Barcelona is the Spanish city you probably hear the most about, but I’ll make the case here why you should go to Valencia instead.

First of all,Valencia is such a better value…

I spent about three weeks in Barcelona, and Valencia seems to have everything that Barcelona does at about half to a third of the cost. In Barcelona, a very simple flatshare in a kind of cool neighborhood costs 31 Euros a night, and a shitty hostel costs $22 a night, whereas in Valencia, I found that not awful private room flatshares via Airbnb cost $10-$15.

In general, the wifi in Barcelona is quite mediocre; the speed and reliability are so wanting that it negatively affected my productivity during the time I spent there. Disappointingly, there’s just a single real digital nomad-friendly cafe in Barcelona. In contrast, the wifi in Valencia is muy buen! At cafes, restaurants, hostels, and Airbnb apartments, I consistently found the +20MB up/down connection that I need to do work.

If you want to go shopping at a Prada store, Barcelona’s the city for you, but Valencia is overall a whole lot better value for nomadic seducers.

Men often tell me “I’m not really dating right now, I’m just focusing on my career…”

Many decent, ambitious men, given the state of the sexual marketplace, choose to just focus on their careers. They imagine that in just a few years, when they’re making good money and can afford to status signal a little with a fancy apartment, shiny car, or fly clothes then they will take the dating thing seriously. Their dream girl will appear, swoon at the sight of all their cool shit, and they will live happily ever after together.

Your smartphone can, in the most insidious way, royally fuck with your relational tranquility.

It shouldn't be news to you that smartphones and social media have A LOT to do with breakups, heartbreak, divorce, domestic discord, and infidelity in the current year. From uncontesteddivorceny.net

According to a study conducted by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), more than 80% of divorce attorneys have reported a significant increase in the use of social media as evidence in divorce cases, particularly among Facebook users. The study also found that social media use was cited as a reason for divorce in one-third of all cases surveyed, especially among married couples.

James J. Sexton, a $600/hour New York divorce attorney wrote in his excellent book...

Facebook is the single greatest breeding ground ever for infidelity. Nothing that has come before—not swingers’ clubs and key parties, not chat rooms, not workplace temptations, not Ashley Madison, Tinder, or Grindr; no, not even porn—comes within a thousand miles.

If I had a dollar for every divorce caused by infidelity that started on Facebook, I would have … well, just about the same amount of money I have. Bless you, Mark Zuckerberg.

And I know what you're thinking...

I'm a disciplined, committed husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend. I wouldn't cheat on my partner because I love them and have the best of faithful intentions. I'm satisfied with my partner and the commitment I made to them is ultimately what keeps me loyal.

But this is naive, old-fashioned thinking and may very well NOT be enough.
