Last week I found myself sitting alone in a strange apartment in a city (and country) where I’d never been before—Kiev in Ukraine. This eventuality had come about on the end of a brief travel jag which had seen me fly from London to Berlin, and from there to Warsaw, before hitting up the former …
Tinder is always a shit show—or at least, it’s a shit show enough of the time to almost make it not worth the hassle. As Alex Forrest said when I interviewed him for my podcast last week, it’s not the best method for delivering one’s value. And the problem with that is that the girls …
On Khreshchatyk there are people carrying birds of prey, and monkeys. As you walk down the street they catcall at you and try to get you to pose for photos with these animals. Some can be quite persistent. Of course, you say ‘no thank you’ firmly, put your head down and keep walking. The monkeys …
So I arrived in Kiev. And it was a fuck up. My fault—probably. The driver that was meant to pick me up from the arrivals lounge wasn’t there. So I checked the messages from my Airbnb host, and it turned out she’d asked me to remind her about the car yesterday, which I’d forgotten about. …
So I was sitting in the main station in Warsaw awaiting my train back to Berlin, and also awaiting the arrival of a certain Malwina, a Polish girl I’d met in London a few weeks back. Malwina wasn’t the only reason I’d travelled to Warsaw. But she was certainly ‘a’ reason. Since I’d met her …
Do we really ‘see’ other people, or just a simulacrum of them? Do we perceive real beings, or are those that we pass in the street every day mere phantoms, cutouts who we imbue with our own imaginations and prejudices? I’ve spent a lot of today on a train, surrounded by people who I didn’t …
There is one immutable law of the universe—never travel for a girl. It will always fuck up, one way or another. Not that I would ever travel solely for a girl these days (unless I as in a relationship with her). There’s simply no need. Since I work online, and I can work from anywhere on …
Well, I finally bit the bullet and came to Warsaw. I’ve been to Poland before, just not the capital city. I was staying in Berlin, and on a whim booked a train ticket and headed over. It’s amazing how tired you feel after sitting on a train for 6.5 hours doing fuck all. Some of …
As you might be aware if you are following my new YouTube channel, I have just recently stepped up my in-person, one-on-one coaching. And one of the first major insights that I’ve gleaned from it is the sheer importance of ‘meaning it’—or at least, appearing as if you mean it—when you go out to do …
Another recent study found that the more pornography people reported watching in a survey in 2006, the more likely they were to report increased doubts about their religious beliefs and reduced importance of religion/spirituality in their daily lives in a follow-up survey in 2012 (Perry, 2017). However, there was an exception to this general trend for a …
