Indian society

Guest post by Quintus Curtius on Indian society and history

A nation’s geography is its destiny. When discussing India, we have to keep in mind that it is a more a continent than a country: from the Himalayas to the tropics of Sri Lanka, its two million square miles has hundreds of cultures, languages, cuisines, religions, and folkways. There is not one India, but many. Its history is staggeringly ancient; the oldest of its civilizations, the Mohenjo-daro, dates from at least 3000 B.C. While the northern regions share in the cold of the Himalayas, the southern parts from Delhi to Sri Lanka are oppressed by unrelenting heat. The alluvial plains of the Punjab, however, offer an agricultural fecundity that can feed more than one nation.

Book Review of Thirty Seven: Essays On Life, Wisdom, And Masculinity

I had the pleasure of reading what was a brain busting and delightful book over the weekend.

You’ll have heard of Quintus Curtius and probably read one of his essays on Return of Kings or RVF. He’s an accomplished and articulate writer who well is versed on philosophy, ancient wisdom and civilisation through the ages. The description Quintus gave for his book was:

Are Muslim grooming gangs a case of cultural jihad?

Muslim grooming gangs

Guest post by Teedub on Muslim grooming gangs

Everybody has their own opinion on Islam. In the manosphere, the view tends to be more negative than in the mainstream media. Why? Well for starters we’re not shackled by the wretched chains of political correctness, nor are we in the business of vote-whoring on behalf of politicians. Instead, like with feminism, we take the dictionary definition lightly, and instead look at actions and behaviours.  And, judging by the action of those who claim to be acting on the behalf of Allah, it ain’t good.

A Good Life Lesson: Don’t Expect Anything

By 1 Comment

don't expect anything

Whether you’re picking up girls and she’s got a good vibe and seems really interested in you, or you’re planning a trip and have a million ideas of what will happen, don’t expect anything. Expecting things is more often than not a one way road to disappointment.

Now, I don’t mean to seem like a killjoy or like someone who has a bleak outlook on life as that’s not the case at all. So, bear with me for a sec.

My best nights out have been when I haven’t thought about girls and whether or not I’ll pull. Everything in your life needs some sort of plan or direction, but it’s within the confines of that plan or direction that you need to erase any thoughts of what you expect to happen. For example, my plan tonight is to go out and drink at Bar X, and then Bar Y, and then Bar Z. That’s all I know that is going to happen for certain. Anything else that I think about that doesn’t transpire will leave me feeling deflated and disappointed. I will then judge my night on how I expected it to turn out, and when it doesn’t turn out that way, I deem it a failure.

The best way is to focus solely on what you can control – the fact that you’re going to 3 different bars to drink. Though, obviously that may not be a certainty, but it’s in your control whether you go to those bars or not. Pulling girls and expecting to meet lots of exciting people – that’s not in your control.

Using this method, your night will be a whole lot better. Without expectations, there is no pressure and there is nothing to measure your night up to. That’s your ticket to a clearer and more positive mindset.

When I was working last year, I had about a thousand different ideas as to how this year would turn out. I thought it would be completely social, chilled, care-free and exactly how I wanted to live my life. Over the course of the year, certain things have transpired and left me realising that I wasted so much time thinking about how things were, that when they didn’t happen, it left me feeling shit.

For example, I was gathering Facebooks and numbers of girls in Spain before I went there so that I could meet up and hang out with them, and get into their social circles. I got about 15 girls in total which was more than enough. I saw their groups of friends and pictured me integrating with them – I’d selected girls to focus on more due to the attractiveness of their friends.

When it came to arriving in Spain, thinking about all the people I’d meet, I only ended up meeting 3 of those 15 girls. Two there was no chemistry with, and the other I hooked up with. The other 12 I didn’t even get to meet with for a coffee or anything. An illusion completely shattered.

I’ve been on this journey over the past 6 months of reevaluating things such as my perspective on society and who can be trusted, what the key to a better mindset is and how I can go forward without experiencing disappointment.

The answer, as I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, is “don’t expect anything”.

Since I’ve pushed it deeper into my brain, my head has been a lot more levelled, my mind more relaxed, and my overall life experiences better. If I go out at night, I don’t expect to bring a girl home. I’ll just see what happens. If I make plans with my friends, I don’t expect them to come about. I’ll just see what happens. I won’t plan any ideas in my head or come up with scenarios that I want to play out because there’s nothing I can do to make them a reality.

Coming to grips with the fact that I can’t change anything in the past, and I can’t do anything about an event in the future – that I can only control what happens right now – has transformed my life.

It’s human nature to think of all the cool and wonderful things that are going to happen to you, but it’s frankly a waste of time. “If I won the lottery, I’d do this, this and this”, “this weekend, this will happen and that will happen and I’m going to this and that and this and that”. No. You won’t.

It’s nothing more than a dream happening in your head. You can play out an act as many times as you like, but when it doesn’t happen, and you’re left upset by the situation or let down, you only have yourself to blame. To preserve our egos and the choices we make, we only expect that good things happen. By freeing yourself of the burden of expectation, you don’t face the consequences of constant disappointment.

The person that buys the lottery ticket – he can only picture and expect what happens when he wins the lottery. Images flash in his head of quitting his job, buying a yacht, buying a supercar, buying a mansion, having a supermodel girlfriend – but when reality hits, and he hasn’t won the lottery and continues with his life as normal, it’s a kick in the bollocks.

When a guy meets a girl in the street and she’s bouncing around and responding to him, and she willingly gives him her number after agreeing to go out on a date – he can only picture and expect what happens when they meet up. Images flash in his head of going out for a drink with her, her being all dressed up, planning a potential relationship with her and all the cool things couples do. But when reality hits, and she doesn’t text him back, or she flakes on the date, it’s a kick in the bollocks. Everything he thought about and expected and planned was futile.

I’m sure that you reading this can relate to those two situations. I can. I’ve expected those exact things, thought about them, and played them over and over in my head only to be let down by the fact that everything I thought about was a lie.

By not expecting anything, you accept both scenarios: that you will win the lottery and go on to never have any financial worries again, or that you will continue your life as you are now. Either way, you don’t face disappointment or upsetting yourself.

By expecting something, you are putting that idea onto a pedestal, much in the same way that guys put girls on pedestals. That idea then becomes untouchable, sacred, and a perfect situation. Too good to be true, and it is. In the same way that you learn to realise that no girl or person is special and what you expect them to be, you must learn not to place your life and future on a pedestal.

By not expecting anything, you are free to live your life in bliss without a weight bringing you down. It’s almost as if you have nothing to lose when you don’t expect anything because you’ve got no perfect ideal to cling onto. So, make kick ass plans, have a direction for your future, set yourself goals, but don’t expect them to go the way you plan. It may turn out better than you expect, or it may turn out worse than you expect. One thing is for certain, it won’t turn out exactly as you think it will.

Give Yourself The Best Chance With Women

By 1 Comment

best chance with women

When I want something, I want to make it as easy as possible for myself to get it. I don’t understand the whole “I like a challenge” mindset. I think people who say that are either full of shit or are unnecessarily giving themselves a hard time.

Don’t get me wrong, the process of development over time whether it’s a work project, increasing your body mass or gaining money is, to a degree, an exciting thing. You can watch the gradual improvements and feel excited about the journey you’re on. Looking back on anything in life, you tend to enjoy the moments you worked hard and strived for something more than actually achieving the goal.

Saying that though, if you told me I could have £20 million by working hard for a year and having a sense of satisfaction of coming from nothing to something; or winning £20 million on the lottery tonight, I’d take the lottery win.

That doesn’t mean I’m lazy. I just want the easier option to the same end goal.

I give myself the best chance with women by working hard on different aspects of my life. I’m sorry to say, but Game alone can’t get you with the top tier of women. You need to address other areas about your make-up in order to be able to pull these women with ease.

Who stands a better chance of pulling a supermodel? One of the many PUAs walking around Oxford Street with the cliched leather jacket, boots, scripted lines and fake confidence? Or the ripped guy in smart casual clothes with an aura of being self assured from having his life in order and having money in the bank?

It’s obvious what the answer is – so why aren’t more guys striving to be like that?

Well, I believe too many guys judge their lives and happiness based on their success with women. They require validation from girls and Game is an easy way to get that from low value girls. Typically, in my opinion, learning Game is mainly picked up by guys who have some kind of lonely or broken background. So, mostly, they’re easily pleased when it comes to pulling girls whether it’s a 6 or a 9 – with the latter only accessed regularly by very few, no matter what the internet people tell you.

With easy satisfaction comes laziness and a lack of motivation to address the areas that are holding you back. What I mean by this is that, if I can pull 6s or 7s regularly and have the sex which I never used to have, what’s the point of changing anything about my lifestyle?

Sure, some guys are happy with that. Well, I don’t think anyone is truly happy at that level, but as I said, they’re easily satisfied. So, if they’re content to continue that way, then so be it. What they eat doesn’t make me shit.

For me, I’m not the finished article by a long stretch. But I like to give myself the best chance with women as possible when I meet them. Long term readers will see that I’ve become location independent, and I’m currently free from the shackles of the corporate world – an interesting prospect for a lot of girls, as I’ve discovered.

Having a keen eye for good style, and with the help of places like Masculine Style, I’ve redefined most of my wardrobe so that when I go out, I stand out from the crowd. This also goes a long way into impressing girls, and the higher value girls appreciate a guy that knows how to dress. They react better to me when I’ve dressed up well compared to if I’ve thrown a t-shirt on.

I’m saving money and working on some things in order to reach my financial goals of becoming a millionaire by the time I’m 30. I’m also going to get back into the gym consistently again soon after 18 months out.

To put it in geeky terms: imagine you’re playing an RPG. I’d rather spend time before big bosses training my characters up and maxing their stats so that I can strike through the boss with a single sword blow. That’s a much better scenario than going in and trying one tactic, dying, then coming back with another over and over again. Although my way takes a bit more work before the application, the results come easier.

You’ll also find that when you focus on yourself, seeking validation from women becomes meaningless. Sure, you may want to propel your image in order to satisfy the attention of more women, but ultimately, you’ll start wanting to do more things for yourself. I, for example, have an image of the lifestyle I want and the person I want to be. That’s all for me and nobody else. But, in satisfying myself (and I’m very critical of myself so it’s hard to do), my chances with women will inevitably improve when I want to pull one – all while living a kick ass lifestyle that I’ve built for myself.

Chasing women to fill a hole is futile. My philosophy is that you should just objectively look into the mirror and address the issues instead of going around in a cycle that doesn’t really provide you with happiness. By this time last year, I’d slept with 9 or 10 girls when I was in “PUA” mode. This year, I’ve slept with 4 girls, but I feel a lot more at peace in my mind with my current situation and the direction I’m heading in.

Taking a step back and addressing what I feel needs to be addressed will serve me much better in the future, both in my chances of making a success of myself and giving myself the best chance with women as possible.

“Ah! I’m Jealous! You’re So Lucky!”

By 7 Comments

luck

If there’s one thing that I can’t stand people saying to me, it’s that I’m “so lucky” to be in the position that I’ve put myself in.

After working tirelessly last year, I no longer have to rely on working a corporate job. This gives me a great amount of flexibility in the hours that I work, the work that I do, how much money I make for myself and most importantly: whereabouts in the world I live.

Last year, I was working 10-12 hour days under a manager that was victimising me simply because he didn’t like me. I tried speaking up, but it only succeeded in plunging me further in the bad books at work. I was going through hell.

After these mentally draining days at work where my social life was taking a massive hit because of the hours I was working, I would get home at 2am and…do some more work. I would finish work, go back home and instead of relaxing, watching TV, playing my PS3 or hanging out with a girl, I would do some more work.

I had a vision for how I wanted to live my life, and I worked hard to make it a reality. My housemate saw the progress I was making and I tried helping him out down the same path, but he would come up with excuses. “I’ve got x to do”, “I haven’t got the time after work”, “If I’m free this weekend, I’ll do it”.

The difference between me and him was that I really wanted it. I wanted to live freely and was prepared to make sacrifices in order to achieve that freedom. He was working less hours per day than me, and yet I was the one who found the time to make serious efforts in improving my working situation.

If you have a goal, you can’t simply wait for it to present itself to you. You can’t just wait for “the right time” to start working at it. That perfect moment will never come. It really boils down to this: sit your ass down and work at it.

That’s all there is to it. There’s no such thing as “I can do this” or “I can’t do this”. What I’ve learned in life is that what a situation boils down to really is “I want this” or “I don’t want this”.

If you want something, you go and get it and you have it. I always laugh when people tell me they’re the kind of person that “when I want something, I go and get it”. Yet they’re living a mediocre life, paying attention to mediocre struggles, and trapped inside a mediocre mind. Of course, if that’s what they actually want and they have it, then I’m wrong here. But, I don’t think anyone doesn’t “want” better.

For most things in life, if your attitude is that you “want” something but you’re not prepared to work for it, you may as well just say “I wish I had that”. That’s how effective you are when you say you desire something but don’t take any action.

If you say you want something, but don’t go for it, then you don’t really want it after all as far as I’m concerned.

That’s the difference between winners and losers. Winners don’t have dreams, they have targets. And they work at making those targets a reality because they want it. If you really, truly desire something, then you will work hard to have it. New job? New car? New lifestyle? You’ll see the short term pain required to achieve the long term gain.

The problem is, many people don’t want to hear about, talk about, or make any effort. What they’ll do instead, as you improve your life, is tell you what I’ve written in the title of the post.

I was catching up with a few people recently, telling them the stories I’ve had from this year so far, and I was told that I was “lucky” for being able to live where I want and see so many places. It really pissed me off.

I told the girl that said it that luck was nothing to do with where I am. I’m the product of hard work and dedication to a target. Calling someone “lucky” for being in a better position than you in life is disrespectful, in my opinion. It takes away all the hard work that you’ve done and you’re simply living a great lifestyle because lady luck was on your side.

lucky

I’ll tell you who’s lucky: a prince being born into royalty; a lottery winner; someone being born with good genetics; casino gamblers; a chance meeting with someone valuable to you; and so on.

People will use the word “luck” for the sake of ego-protection. They don’t want to have to admit that if they put in a little bit more work, then they too could have the things that the “lucky” people have. There is no esoteric among us (though there’s certainly a case for royalty) that are just gifted the world and everything that they want. There’s no such thing as privileged positions. Every famous or rich person you see has worked hard to get there. You just see the product of that hard work.

I believe that it would hurt too many people for them to admit “that famous/rich person, I too could have what s/he has if only I could be bothered to work towards it”. As I said, instead, people will hide behind the word “luck”.

I’m not lucky to be able to travel around the world whenever I want. I put myself into this position. You can too if that’s what you really want.

Daygame Mastery by Krauser – review

By 7 Comments

A few months ago, Krauser released a huge book (it’s a goliath at 460 pages) dedicated to daygame using the London Daygame Model. I’ve known him for many years and having purchased and read his previous offering – Daygame Nitro – I did not hesitate to pay the £60/$100 this book costs. For a few years now, he’s been leading the advancements in daygame as a science, if you could call it that and having seen him in set, knowing how intelligent and well thought out his ideas are, this made it an easy decision.

I won’t lie, it was a struggle at first to get my paws into it, due to time constraints and skimming through certain parts. However I’ve read it a couple of times over the past months and used it to mould certain parts of my daygame skills which I felt were lacking. I’ve learnt a hell of a lot which I myself could not put into words, actions that I already knew I was performing but could not explain. Krauser’s done it all in this book, his attention to detail is concise and as he says in the introduction – “Everything I write must be what I actually do and think.”

The first part of the book starts off with Vibe. Here he explains the mechanics of how daygame interactions work and the where the basis comes from. What you start to notice as you read through this section is the neat little hints outside of the main paragraphs that explain certain terms that he’s using and how to use them in a set. He uses metaphors brilliantly to help you visualise how to approach getting the right mindset.

The targeting section of Vibe was a part I really enjoyed. Here he shows the different types of women you will meet on the streets, the characteristics that they display for you to identify them and how to mould your approach to each type. Here’s where little segments on ‘avoidance weasel’ start to come in, these are great little tips that help you start approaching leading into the next segment which is Approach Anxiety. This is a short segment in comparison to others in the book, but let’s just say he cuts right through the bullshit and gives you real solutions on combating it.

Part two of the book centres around the street, stopping a girl, opening her and moving through the phases to either extract her or take her number. The wealth of information here is astonishing, if you’re an intermediate daygamer, you’ll probably consider yourself advanced after digesting this part of the book. Again the helpful tips are jotted around these pages and relevant to the part of the book you’re in. You can see he’s taken time to present the information so that’s useful and not just splattered around making it disjointed, it’s something that really adds to value of this book.

This part of the book really stands out because it can be easily recreated on the streets, he’s dropped a few templates, tells you how to stand, how not to come off creepy and how you manage the interaction. Here you learn how to go from being the one doing most of the talking to switching it to her investing heavily. It’s something I learnt from his previous book and from himself and I do use it myself in sets to great effect.

The third part of the book is what he calls the ‘Intermission’. This revolves around text game and long game. Krauser is a master at long game, keeping sets that he opened last year, still simmering just waiting for him to re-enter the scene. Here he gives you the tools to do the same with that girl you opened in Poland last year, who still sends you little messages now and then on Facebook/WhatsApp.

My text game was appalling the last time I hung out with Nick, he’ll tell you so too! I’ve improved considerably since then being as it was quite a long time ago but hell, 40 pages on texting and you really start to realise why the fuck I’m still shit at it. Yes he’s got a blueprint for that too and it’s fucking excellent, however it’s also malleable to you. I’ve followed it for my recent daygame successes and it’s been a bit like driving a car in GTA, there are no red lights, everything is fucking green.

The long game section is brilliant, it’s something he’s shown on his blog before. I’ve been using it since I first saw him wind out a story to a girl about a trip to Sicily and the effect it had on her. My own experimentations with it have drawn parallels to what he’s had. I was not as good as controlling the frame possibly as he has been but trying to immerse myself in this section, I’m very confident for my future endeavours with long game. I can’t lie and say I’ve tried out it recently, I’ve not hard the opportunity but will definitely do so once I return from my summer in Europe.

The next part of the book revolves around the ‘Date’. Here he helps you to distinguish between a slut and a good girl as part of your ‘Pre-date calibration’. Here for me is where you really see his experiences with daygame and how much he’s thought about the processes, the women, the attraction as he lays it all out. His date model follows a similar route to ours here at the 3 Bromigos (we’ve got similar beginnings and tutelage in our paths in game).

You learn about how to keep her attention and how to manage your interactions in each venue. There’s making her fight for you attention in one to physically and verbally escalating throughout. He gives you a swathe of options here on how to have fun dates that all lead in the direction of what you want. Which of course is

Close – Here’s where you’ll start identifying nuclear shit tests, fly through any last minute derailments. Bedroom escalation and plowing through any last minute resistance there are all covered. It’s about as detailed as you will find anywhere on the internet.

He has a special situations chapter to end the book. Here you’ll learn how to deal with silly girls who play what he calls ‘silly buggers’, how to fine tune to girls and creative gambits. You also get help on how to fuck over cockblockers on your dates and forcing the SDL – that golden grail of daygame. The last section of this chapter is quite enjoyable but also keeps you centred. He goes through the path of being a daygamer and hits home with the balances required and how game will not make you happy. This is a must read section for anyone buying this book, in fact read it over and over.

Finally he pays respect to the guys who’ve helped with the creation of the book, the ideas he’s learnt, developing his daygame and his mentors. Our Jimmy Mac gets a mention in there, the lucky sod.

My score: 10

I can’t rate this book any less than perfect for this moment in time. I thought of Daygame Nitro just as highly but when it comes to the London Daygame Model, it is constantly evolving and new ideas and concepts are continually added. Daygame Mastery is the complete guide to daygame and the best book on ‘Game’ I have ever read. I’ve seen complaints about the price being set at £60/$100. So much knowledge has been put into this book that even an advanced daygamer would feel they still got more value back than they paid. It’s detailed as you can fucking get and that does not mean you’ll become King of Daygame after a one read. I recommend this to all daygamers at an intermediate level, you’ll improve fast and start to be more aware of where you’re going wrong and where you’re going right (sometimes you just don’t know). If you’re a beginner, we can help, it’s worth a purchase but you’ll be overwhelmed when you’ve not really opened any girls on the street.

You can purchase the book here – Daygame Mastery and Daygame Mastery (disclaimer we make no money off this product, not even the link).

If you’re a beginner and want to start meeting hot girls, take a bootcamp with us in Europe this summer.

The “Manosphere” and Unmasking

By 59 Comments

truth

When I was first introduced to the “manosphere”, I thought that everyone would be like me: striving for excellence and hell-bent on self improvement. The more I’ve been around, the more I’ve realised that the whole thing is a facade.

It’s a bitter place, mostly written by bitter guys. Retelling stories of “being alpha” and an asshole to girls is a front for the bitterness most feel at the hands of our opposite gender. Mostly due to not being successful with good looking girls. This sounds like a trivial and cliche attack you’d expect from a girl who’s stumbled upon the “manosphere”, but it’s true. There are very few legit people whose lifestyles match those of which they’re talking about. [Read more…]
