I'm casually dating to keep my sanity, but I'm getting to the point where I'm having conversations that lend themselves to me feeling a bit uncomfortable. For example the seemingly innocent question that actually is intended to be a litmus test of your alpha status or making it status:
>Do you like to travel, anon?
The truth is yes I'd love to but I'm putting it all into crypto. But no way in fucking hell I will ever tell anyone IRL the truth about this. So what do I say? Yes, but I haven't gotten around to scheduling traveling? No, I just don't like traveling? I just want to have made it already so I don't have to lie anymore, but until then, the price we are paying to keep our investments safe is playing this game with ourselves
>social life >>> truth revealing >>> relatability and bonding with people >>> plus sex maybe (side effect: vulnerability, people potentially knowing that you own crypto)
>life alone >>> accumulating >>> wealth (side effect: we have social urges and will lose our minds if we don't satisfy them)
Am I being too cautious? I don't have a social circle really so I feel like I'm more vulnerable to a targeted physical attack.

Be honest, yes I would love to travel but right now I'm investing in my future. Alpha isn't about meeting a certain paradigm based on a woman's expectations. It's about having confidence in the choices you're making to work your will upon the world. Women sense disengenious expression the same as anyone else and lying is difficult and makes you seem less confident because you likely cannot deliver as well as you would the truth. Live your truth and trust in yourself. If you think it's best then follow your own lead. Women want a leader.

Fuck I’m in the exact same situation and I’m nervous as hell. I don’t think the anons who answered understand what it’s like to LITERALLY BE ALL IN, if link fails or if I somehow lose my stack I’m fucking ending it no questions asked. I will have nothing left.

Just start talking in technical jargon and she'll get the idea that you're smart and successful.

Fuck me, some of you put way too much thought into this shit. No wonder 20% of the dudes are getting all the pussy. 80% of you have not idea what you're doing.
>Do you like to travel, anon?
>Yes. Do you? I'd like to go to __
You're not lying. She's weird as fuck if she's actually trying to plan a trip with you. It's just fucking chit-chat. It's your opportunity to be witty/charming and make her feel comfortable taking off her clothes later.

This. What the fuck is wrong with you retards? If you get asked about shit like travelling, just answer where you've been/where you want to go or if you don't like it then say you don't. If they start asking something about money or you finances then just say you're making a habit to start saving etc..

I'm real close with long time gf of 4 years, not engaged or anything though. I told her from the start I invest most of my money in crypto and 401k (not true for 401k) and that gives me a great out to not spend more money than necessary except when I feel like going out. not like she is techy or knows where i store it or exactly how much I have. i think this is a fine way to go about it but I could be wrong. she also respects that I plan for the future

If a woman asks you if you travel what they are really asking is if you are willing to exchange extremely expensive tickets for pussy. A whore's a whole mate. They are just negotiating price.

My wife does not know and will not when I have more than I know what to do with. She is a good girl but don't think her press brain could deal with the influx of money. My girlfriend's know something to the extent of "Bitcoin" but don't care.
