I tend to agree with Shannon's approach of transferring the GSF emotional response to the logical centers of the brain. Meditation, therapy or clearing could be the "normal" approaches to doing that. For example, you talk to a girl, she doesn't like and leaves, you feel ashamed. X and Y. But that's still something you can improve on later, if you go against that feeling of shame.
Hmm, there seems to be a bit of mis communication. Let us say that
X = Action Taken
Y = Result
If we have shame, we believe that doing X means we are unlovable, and when Y happens, we see that as proof positive of that belief.
What I'm saying is that if we feel shame, we can very well realize it';s just a sort of intuition. Like "if I do X, Y is likely to occur".
WITHOUT shame, however, we can simply decide if we accept the result or not. A girl "rejecting" you (Y) is no big deal and doesn't mean you're unlovable, and it doesn't hurt you so why not approach (X) anyways?
However, watching porn in public (X) may cause you to get a "bad" reputation (Y). It STILL doesn't mean you're not lovable, but it DOES mean you should consider the result (Y) a bit more.
Hope that clears it up.

As we know, acting strong and "alpha" can help with some women. Does this mean those women are "weak"? Maybe, but the point is, do you want to be judgemental, or do you want to get results?
The zen of life is recognizing what works, and accepting it.
Well, being judgemental is no good. I'd know since I've been doing a lot of it. Actually from now on I'm going to be on the lookout for feeling judgemental, because its telling me something, like you said. But on the other hand there's the question if the result is worth the price. For example, if certain (likely quite hot) women require you to be something you don't like to be, is it worth it that you can stick your D into a warm hole for a short time, then scamper away because you're not interested in keeping the pretend up anymore and you're hungover, bored, etc. Then again if the goal is being happier and you notice you're happier without that crap, then that "works" too.
It all depends on what you're after. There's no right or wrong, but some things take more effort. Living requires effort and energy, but only you can decide if it's "worth it" to you or not.
If the goal is being happier, why not just take a drug? It'd sure be more efficient.
