Listening to Michael's tutorials in the classroom, I had an epiphany. Our Instagram is our mating display. By this, I mean we are animals pursuing mates, and nearly all animals have a mating display to show off fitness. We can look at peacocks, or bucks fighting, or some other strange looking courtship behavior, and to us it looks strange. But to the females, it is biologically wired into them to respond. It seems foreign to us to see it this way, because we can't easily put ourselves into women's minds. But we don't have to. We have to look at one thing. Does it work? That's the only thing that needs to be known.

I’ve become more aware of my egos impact on aspects of my life, like rejection or random man commenting about me online. I definitely need to work on it more. I need to not get sad, upset or angry if I hit a series of rejections back to back when I’m approaching in person. I need to not let that affect myself worth or how I see myself. They not rejecting me. They don’t know me. They’re rejecting their perception and jumping to conclusions based on a very quick assessment of me based off just my behaviors in the 30 seconds they interacted with me. Similarly, I get comments or advice from men, inside and outside of this community. Some find my instagram on their own and give their two cents in other communities. I have to realize that there judgments or assessments about me are also based on limited information, guess is based on what they see on my Instagram, or little bits that they hear if they attend a group call. I need to not get offended or upset or feel the need to qualify myself and give a big explanation or argue back. If they say something about me that is off that affects my ego. It’s not really my reputation that they’re affecting as much as it is my ego not being able to stand that they have a inaccurate or negative perception of me. For example, one moa member said I should learn to be able to approach women without someone recording. Completely untrue. My friend curtis has seen me approaching in person and of his own volition, he’s told others that I have zero approach anxiety. I guess this guy just seen how many street interviews I posted and made conclusions. Then there’s many other examples, there’s people outside of the program. In other communities, find my Instagram on their own and bring it up, which is always a bit weird, and then make these assumptions about me like must be nice to be rich or you clearly have a lot of free time youre wasting (not knowing at all how much time and effort it can take to organize an event or get content. But ultimately, I’ve learned that I shouldn’t care at all. Be unaffected. A stranger could think that I’m the worst human on earth and I shouldn’t care. There’s this constant need to make sure everyone has an accurate pleasant perception of me but really I should not waste the time online to correct people especially if they’re strangers online.

The longer I've been in MOA And the longer I observe what's happening in the dating & relationship world... Makes me realize one thing. The only way to beat feminism, and have a fighting chance with relationships & dating with all these women who have so many options and attention online; is to show preselection and build a social circle. If you think about it, women don't need you any more (thanks to feminism) like they use to in the old days. They needed us for financial reasons, protection, provisioning, etc. But now since they have their own careers, their own money, feminism telling them to be independent, and all the attention and options they get online; they absolutely don't need us anymore. That means their need for us will only come down to true attraction to us from now on. And the 2 strongest attraction triggers a man can display is what MOA teaches, social status and preselection. This will be the ONLY way to have succes in dating going forward, and it's only going to get worse. If you're not building/showing social status and preselection on social media and in real life, you're literally have no shot to help yourself. In other words, do the steps in MOA and you'll be alright. At least you'll have a chance. Thoughts, or opinions?

I know it can't teach you dating skills, but you could train yourself positive thoughts such as "I can get any woman I want". The downside is I think this could be unethical and dangerous. It could end up with you seeing central booking for being too aggressive with women.

I found out about MOA January of 2024 and immediately started fixing my IG. That alone improve my social and dating life drastically. I then hosted a photoshoot event locally and that was worth more than Dating Apps + Cold Approaching Combined, From that one 3 hour event I made a f -One female friend who is helping me create other events - Three dates with the models that came -Two of them really like my style and IG and messaged me afterwards -One of them it took a while but we started talking after and I let her know I was interested..She was i interested too but it didn't really go far. Keep in mind there were only 10 attendees! I want to throw more of these events but hiring a photographer is going to become expensive and I actually do like photography and I'm willing to learn. I traveled a lot last year and it was winter so wasn't able to build momentum but I do think more of these events will help improve my social and dating life even more.
