Here's the distinction as I now see it:

You're going to need "social proof" in every country as part of a fulfilled life. The better connected you are, the better your life will be.

In the U.S., it's virtually impossible to build this "social proof" after a point. If you don't have it by your early 20s, you'll probably never have it. And you likely won't get another chance.

Many foreign countries have something of a "revolving door" of "social proof." That is, you can come and go from it, and it's fine. You get multiple chances throughout your life to build your social life. You don't get scorned for not starting out with "social proof."

This is of course a symptom of the modern world. The U.S. and other presently shitty countries weren't always like that, and the foreign countries that are more amenable to building a social life presently are not immune to the same forces that ruined our home countries socially.

That's a good point, in America, having 'social proof' is vital to meeting women and making friends. Even PUA guys say that 'social proof' is something women subconsciously look for in a man.

The good news is, in most foreign countries, 'social proof' is not vital to making friends and meeting women. This is why guys who have lived in foreign countries say that meeting women and making friends is MUCH easier in countries like the Philippines, Thailand, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil and Columbia than it ever was in the United States.

Trying to meet people at bars and clubs is another other way people in the US meet other people. However, the atmosphere is not condusive to meeting someone (the music is loud, it's crowded, the people tend to act in a fake way).
You know, it does actually appear that nightclubs are not conductive to conversation. Especially when all you hear is the loud music roaring like a 747 taking off from 50 feet away.

Did you know that NO ONE told you that between 1985-90 in America, talking to strangers, making friends and meeting people in America gradually became TABOO? It just happened yet NO ONE talked about it or dared to. Well we are here to change that today.

Here Winston Wu elaborates on a BIG change in the social atmosphere and culture of America during the 1985-90 era that no one ever dares to talk about for some reason. Gradually, talking to strangers became taboo, and the social climate became very closed, cliquish, non-inclusive, and trying to make friends felt awkward and unnatural. People became very closed in a bubble and had this "leave me alone, don't bother me" attitude. All this became the norm, yet no one dares to call public attention to it, because you are expected to pretend that all this is "normal" when it was not before the mid 1980's.

Those who grew up in the 60's and 70's and early 80's can tell you that, but no one dares to mention it openly or publicly. Winston is the only one that's brave enough to. As of now, there is no human connection at all in America, but no one dares to say that due to a loser stigma attached to it. Because you are never allowed to say that people are closed or unfriendly no matter how true.

Fortunately though, most other countries are not as socially disconnected, particularly outside of North America and NE Asia. And that's the good news.

See Winston Wu's audio rant about this topic in the video below. He says things that NO ONE dares to say.

Great comment to my video by Dan Cilley:

Great to see that you have uploaded a new video, Winston! You should upload a video every day, even if they are short. What you have to say is valuable. We need to solve this social problem...because yeah, it is getting progressively worse...men are becoming violent, as in the 2020 riots/looting in so many cities. Most men are extremely deprived because the top 20% of men get pretty much all the women.

Do you think the advent of cable TV and the VHS player are to blame for people being less socially desirous in the 80's? It has to be. Did people stay home and watch TV for a lot of their free time suddenly upon subscribing to cable TV? I would think so.

Did the VHS player and video rental stores cause people to spend massive amounts of time in front of the TV? Was there a wide selection of porn videos available in each video store?

You have said in the 90's, you used dial-up internet, that is, America Online, to date women. You were able to successfully meet women off of the internet. So, girls probably obviously were able to meet men much more rapidly...thereby causing women to avoid men in public because the quality of men that they could reach online was much higher--men from around the world would be waiting in their inbox. I never realized this, but women probably used AOL back then how they use Tinder, etc. now.

And also, were there ways to meet people using telephone chat services, in the 80's?

All these things, as a whole, have reduced people's desire to talk to strangers.

In 2002 or whatever, there was broadband internet.

Netflix began in...2004?

In 2005, Myspace, Facebook, etc.

In 2007, YouTube started to really take off. There were so many videos to watch...a seemingly unlimited amount of entertainment.

In 2010, free porn was easy to access.

In 2012, Tinder...made it easier to find the best looking guys.

2019, Onlyfans, etc.

And during this whole time, the amount of conveniece foods has gone up. Now, there are food delivery services, so people stay home even more.

People are "allowed" to be fat now...there are so many fat people...so people are eating more rich food than ever.

Don't forget the arrival of Starbucks in the early 2000's...I do not think people had been consuming such a high amount of caffeine prior to its existence.

People have dogs...there are so many people who have dogs now, reducing a person's desire to be social.

And weed...weed legalization has to be another significant reason that when people are outside, they are irritable.

When people are outside in public, they are usually disconnected from various stimulation, so they may be grumpy, irritable, etc.

I think the solution is to find a location where the people have less technology and stimulation. In your experience, are the people nicer, more friendly and more social...as their access to technology and convenience decreases?

There has to be a correlation, for example, that is, a difference between a girl who does not use the internet, vs. one who has a smartphone and uses Tinder, Onlyfans, etc. Then add the Starbucks, Fast Food, money, etc. and she becomes totally spoiled, stuck-up, rude, etc. Yes?

We could create a gated residential community in the U.S.A. in which none of the "bad" sources of stimulation would exist. It would be like the 1950's in Back to the Future, haha. Every man would have a woman. It would be a much more relaxing life. People would be at ease. By the way, I can tell by the sound of your voice that you are more at ease and relaxed, and are not under much stress, it sounds like, even though you said you have been very busy.

I have heard that in other countries, the people are more at ease, and that this being "at ease" is a common theme around the world in different countries. It is probably due to a lack of technology (TV, computers, etc.), an abundance of fresh food, clean air, and having other (healthy and happy) family members nearby, or something like that.

Hopefully we can figure this out and create an awareness of the problem and solution, as people are aware that smoking is harmful to their health.

Let's Make America Great Again!

P.S. You should do Zoom call/streams with Incelmatics. Steve Hoca has been collaborating with Incelmatics, and the videos are very interesting.

I am not sure you realize how entertaining and valuable your podcasts and videos are. What I am saying is...you should make videos every day! What you talk about is extremely important, now more than ever! Men are suffering more than ever!

People don't realize how much better the people are overseas!!! They don't realize how bad life is in America...you need to be the person to communicate this message to the people...yes!

This idea and the mechanisms behind why people are toxic and what makes a person healthy and friendly need to be understood by the public!!!

We can change the world into a super-friendly and socially functional one, where everyone is healthy and happy all the time as much as possible!!!

This movie poster exemplifies America's attitude toward talking to strangers. lol

https://yts.mx/movies/never-talk-to-strangers-1995

The trailer looks interesting though.



I love how Antonio Banderas says in the trailer "If you don't talk to strangers, how can you make any friends?" Exactly my question as well. I've never understood how people who don't talk to strangers make friends? They are never able to explain that to me. lol

Yeah, go up to women and start talking to them and see how it goes. They will likely call you a creep. I am in a class right now where our female professor calls one of our classmates a creeper for no reason other than his normal appearance. Really awkward for me to sit there and I feel bad for the guy. He is really just a normal looking guy.

Your female professor calls a student a creep in front of everyone in the class? She wouldn't do that without a reason. Otherwise, the school admin would hear about it and she'd be in trouble. Did you or anyone ask the professor why she did that? There must be more to it than just that.

However, many people think I'm a creep or weirdo just by meeting me immediately without ever getting to know me. I heard that people can sense your vibes and what you are, and if it doesn't jibe with theirs, they immediately pick up on it. It's instinctive. Animals do it too. That's why lions and hyenas don't like each other and don't try to get to know each other. They instinctively know they aren't meant to be buddies and are like oil and water. Same with me and many Americans and Taiwanese.

Also I notice that the vibe and body language of a non-conformist is VERY different than that of a conformist. No mistake about it. Even a witchcraft practitioner, I heard on Art Bell, can immediately sense that another person is a practitioner by his or her vibe alone. Because your vibes give away what you are, even if you try to hide it or pretend to be normal.

Antonio Banderas made a good point. How the hell we suppose to make friends if no one talks to strangers?
And what if your a military brat or some one who moved around a lot? You never get the chance to make friends at all in school because everybody else is cliquish and doesn't talk to strangers. America is f*cked up in social sphere.

I had several of my female professors in university asking me to see a "psychiatrist" just because I made some "outbursts" whatever hell that means. It is really strange and I wasn't even doing anything special, I'm just a loner and were a non conformist doing my own business. :?
