It can *only* influence the internal (your subconscious), which then - in turn - influences the external (because it can, and does, influence it through quantum love metaphysical hokey-pokey or whatever It's actually pure physics and pure behavioral psychology, I'd say, but I would not say it's that important for what I'm trying to express right now).
"Manifesting" is pretty much "making shit happen". Simple as that.
If you did already have external results that would be concordant with being perceived by females as an extremely sexually attractive and desirable man in an extremely obvious and direct manner, then you would not really have to work on the internal, now would you? So you would not even have a reason to run the program in the first place. So one Catch-22 would replace another one, wouldn't it?
The trick is to attempt and disengage from whatever others might believe, or actually want you, to be. Heck, trust me, once you get 'em girls going after you there's a pretty decent chance that you're gonna find yourself facing adversity from various people - who will then attempt to drag you down, and try to convince you that what you're seeing is not what you're seeing, and what you're experiencing is not what you're experiencing - simply because they do not want you to be better than them, or may have other motivations for that. Kinda like making millions through a self-owned business, I'd bet, or becoming very good at pretty much anything.
There's only way out of a Catch-22 type of situation, and it's pretty much what Yossarian did in the novel "Catch 22": you simply say "screw this" and proceed to do whatever it is that you actually prefer to do, think whatever you prefer to think, and damn any and all consequences or anyone trying to convince you otherwise. Stomp your feet. Throw a tantrum at the world.
BTW., what you are experiencing right now might actually be a sign of turbulence, I think. Maybe your subC is trying to knock your own UM/OP fueled mojo back down a bit. I can't say for sure, but it is possible.
Hi man!
I admit, it's still hard to believe design goal can truly work for me. Girls seem just as distant as before I came to the site years ago. So I guess that's a big part of it, it just feels impossible to think of those two girls for example, and imagine them aggressively pursuing me for sex. Seems ridiculous somehow. Sounds great and all to think about, "progress", and all that. But after so long, I do often get concerned about it and think "I've been on the forum for years, and still no gf, no sex etc." It can wear you down. This recent incident didn't help me at all, of course! It'll take some time to move past and go back to "normal".
I doubt it's turbulence. To be fair, I've constantly thought about all this during DMSI itself, and posted about it a few times too. Didn't like coming off as negative, so I stopped posting as much to avoid arguments and shit.
Well, I know how it is to fixate on an unpleasant thing and be unable to find a way out of it. I've been there, it's a dangerous thing and if left unchecked can lead to clinical depression, which in turn can lead to suicide, so... The fact that there's a good chance that a resistant part of yourself is using this as a tactic to discourage you - based in fear, as it's simply trying its best to protect you from something it considers dangerous for some reason - does not make it any less unpleasant.
Perhaps instead of advice I'll recommend several novels, as that "Catch-22" thing got me thinking.
If you have the time, try: Joseph Heller's "Catch 22", obviously, Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (don't cheat, read the book. The movie is good in its own right, but the novel makes everything much more clear), and "The Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce (and I'd heavily recommend this one, even though it's probably the least accessible of the above because, well, *Joyce* - but, it's pretty much autobiographical and describes the protagonist's/author's path to saying "screw this" and doing his thing, as in - moving to Paris and becoming James Joyce, the "Ulysses" and "Finnegans Wake" guy ).
