Great to hear it, Briant! I am absolutely not surprised. My gut feeling was accurate
I was fishing mostly between ages 10-15 when I was spending summers with my grandparents in the Russian countryside. It was no fancy, they’re poor people. My granddad had boats and cast nets in a nearby lake (it was illegal so he had to pay fines). But mostly it was homemade fishing rods. My granddad and uncles would make those out of tree branches. It wasn’t too bad - you make it nice & smooth, then attach the fishing line, a bobber & a hook. Mostly earthworms are used as bait. There used to be a lot of fish when I was a kid. I enjoyed bringing buckets of it home. Perch, pike, crucian, bream, gobio, roach. Rudd is very common in those places. Sometimes ruff. Burbot is different - you gotta find that guy under rocks and use a fork.
Now on why I even brought fishing up:
First, as well as my gut feeling told me you’re familiar with fishing, the same gut told me that nowadays, most of the people (maybe 80-90%) that I see post relationship advice/Red Pill stuff on X never fished and it’s not good or bad - this is the time we live in
Now the plot twist:
I like and respect Nuke a lot (and I mean - A LOT!) and I don’t want this to be perceived by anyone including himself as any criticism or anything like that (and btw I think he’s one of those who fished 😀). But I wanted to tell you, Briant, that when I watched this attached video by him a few hours ago it got me thinking
What does the RedPill say nowadays, Briant? “If a girl canceled (or something similar), the conclusion is: she never liked you enough, because if she did she would go out of her way… blah blah blah”
No disrespect!
But Briant, let me ask you as a wise man who’s old enough to probably understand my mixed feelings when I read/hear stuff like that:
HOW can a girl even “like/dislike” you…
…IF SHE NEVER EVER SAW YOU???
Pardon me, Briant, but I call bullshit when modern men conclude that a woman knows whether she likes you or not SOLELY by your social media/dating app profile. WTF is that?
THAT IS FISHING !!!! You understand?
You as a man gotta sit quiet and WAIT and stare at the bobber until it jerks. And you know the rest, Briant! You need to know the timing and feel/know it to SET THE HOOK
See what I’m trying to say, Briant? If you missed that moment and the fish’s gone, it’s not because that fish “didn’t like you enough”
I’m not sure, man… Tell me if I’m wrong 😀
If she cancels on a first date
