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.

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.

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.

"They can't queerbait when Buck is already bi!"

Okay but when are we gonna acknowledge the fact that making Buck bi in canon with a side character in an underdeveloped, half-assed relationship happening mostly off screen that lasted only a season was the cheapest way to evade the queerbaiting accusations without actually having to deliver a storyline between two mains that would inevitably take center stage in the show forever.

Cats World .....elegant

They are one of the most popular pets in the world, beautiful, graceful, gentle, and have a calm and playful nature.

It belongs to the feline family, and has lived alongside humans for thousands of years, where it was initially used to hunt mice and protect crops.

They have strong senses, such as sharp night vision and advanced hearing, which makes them skilled hunters. They are also very clean, taking a long time to clean themselves using their tongue.

Its breeds vary in shape, size and colour, and each type has its own distinctive characteristics.

Despite their independence, cats are able to form a strong relationship with their owners and show them affection in various ways.

They are small creatures... with a big heart.

to this day i believe mahiru and shinya should've worn rings. one, because it looks cool, and two, because there could've been a scene where shinya rips it off his finger and throws it on the ground dramatically to signify him having found more meaning to life other than just being mahiru's fiancé

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."
