Rebuilding WB For Monogamy?

Questions and Comments
#28

I feel ya, bro. I tried out WB shortly after it was released, ran it for a while in some customs, and I was blown away with how good I felt. The speech improvements, the nonchalance about sex, the increase in my productivity. I credit WB for getting me into rowing! All in all, I felt the sub was a great fit.

It wasn’t until my wife brought some things up in a conversation that I realized she wasn’t liking the WB aura. She had a sense of…my broadcasting of my availability in my vibe. I swapped it out after that. My marital relations have improved! I do miss the scripting though; getting some NRE and NWE in the updated version was a hot bonus as well. I think that a version of WB without the Harem/DTF aura would be great. ASBR has it’s non fame experimental version. Could there be a one off like that for WB? Perhaps it wouldn’t/can’t work like that?

Maybe another route: What modules could one add to WANTED core to bring it more in line with WB, minus the aura, in a custom? I can think of a few offa the top of my head:

  • NWE
  • NRE
  • Charisma & Flirting Automatic Mentor/Improver
  • Total Nonchalance

What other modules would be good additions?

I think creating a custom with the Reignition module will help you aim it a bit more towards monogamy. That module definitely helped aim Primal Nights that way and our relationship became much more tightly knit than it already was.

Oh…Just reread the description for the ascension chamber for the first time in years. I was running it in a custom with WB, which explains how I’ve kept WB suitable for monogamy with only minor hiccups thus far…

Turns out AC IS the conscious guidance subliminal, and it’s been sitting there for free, right under my feet, for years.

:joy:

Ended the relationship for those curious. I still feel like it could be used for monogamy just fine with enough strength of purpose and intention. However, I did realize after a single loop of WB and Limitless that the relationship was a waste of my time. I wasn’t happy, so no point in torturing both of us by prolonging the relationship.

LOOOOOOL

Oh my god.

“WB could be used for monogamy”

Runs one loop and ends relationship

“But it can still be used for monogamy.”

TBH I think that the reason you were attracted to WB in the first place was that you saw the end of the relationship coming, subconsciously at least, and started fielding other options.

You weren’t happy, you wanted female attention and sex, or AT LEAST the attention to make you feel confident enough to end your relationship with the confidence of knowing that when you ended it, you’d find new options and wouldn’t be sexless.

So in that sense, you were only staying in your relationship because you didn’t want to be single.

As the one who led and scripted most of Wanted Black, I will still maintain that it is NOT the best title for monogamy. But I’ll say this: we have indeed heard the call for a product like this. :wink:

Sub Request: Wanted Black but for monogamous relationships

If you madmen could find a way to give everything that WB gives but is ALSO suitable for monogamy, I think I would become a perfected being. I would ascend to Buddhahood.

Haha, okay fair call out, you’re right.

But the full story of my journey with WB in that relationship is far longer and more complicated than that. I was actually on WB off and on for the whole relationship (8-months).

In a sentence, what was REALLY going on, is that I want both, but I can’t have both at the same time because I’m unwilling to pay that price.

I want a soulmate to hold for the rest of my life, and I also want to screw around and enjoy the last sliver of my 20s before it’s over.

And I’m completely unwilling to enter a true poly relationship, which is the only compromise that in theory could allow someone to have both things. It’s a line in the sand I won’t cross. I’m either single and having fun, or my girl is mine alone and I’m her’s alone. Even if I could find a girl that would allow me to play around while I she stayed only for me, I wouldn’t do it because…well, I just wouldn’t.

I’m rather romantic, you see. A libertine who believes in the ultimate and eternal union of two souls.

:alien: :alien: :alien:

So, for the moment, I’ve had to make the choice to stay single until I either meet my soul mate or have gotten the fun out of my system. I’m too dense to see another way. lol.

You’d love it. There’s a reason why most people that get on WB have such a hard time leaving it. It literally makes you feel like a fictional character, and people react to you as if you’ve just stepped out of a story book.

People that I’ve been compared to on WB by strangers and lovers alike:

Dante from DMC
Gojo from Jujutsu Kaizen
Dorian Grey (didn’t really like that one, he’s a bit scummy lol)
Howl from Howls moving castle.
The dude from the Witcher
and a bunch of random celebrities that I don’t really know.

It creates this aura around you where people seem to see you as a little more than human, as if you aren’t quite real.

It’s really freaking amazing.

Oh, also if you’re lucky enough to find yourself around celebrities and you’re not in recon, they seem to just welcome you in without much thought.

Edit

My experience anyway, YMMV.

Wanted Black appears to take you where you are and amplify it out of all reasonable proportion.

Why not Daredevil for WB socializing without the harem scripting?

You could use a custom to make a monogamous WB by replacing WB with Daredevil

Exactly what I did… Daredevil + Love Bomb… very flexible to customize whether you want it for monogamous relationships or fooling around, without being overtly sexual, but very easy to take on that route.

Aura the heck out of it with Earthshaker - Sexuality and Edge Of Falling and Hegemon.

But anyways what am I saying… you can just run WB now, you’re single.

Lol, you’re still on the right track. I start Khan tomorrow. So we’re on hiatus anyway, the custom is for after a run of Khan.

What about Primal or PS stacked with Daredevil for faster results? You’re single now, not at the end of 4 cycles lol

I’m kicking around that idea. My intuition says that I need a single run of TB solo first. Because if not, then I’m going to find a way to maladaptively cope with the root of my issues. Once that’s done, it’s no holds barred. We’re working toward complete ascendance into the aristocracy.

There are stages in a relationship. The first stage is good, maybe with little problems, and the second one is where the bad part begins. If you can endure that, then the best next stage awaits you - most will give up.

People can get hurt when they fall in love. Love is very powerful, yet most people didn’t realize that.

It happens to me with WB, I lied and I cheated which resulted to scandalous events, then I decided to tell the truth. The vibe can really make everyone uneasy, I just let it be.

Casual dates can be beneficial because you get to choose which partner is best for you.

I have my special someone and lots of girl friends, there are no conflicts.
