Can’t even make my new custom cause of the Stark Black hype smh. Would be curious to run the sub solo, and then try a custom with SB+Mogul+Chosen+QL4.
I miss QL tbh.

This is a personal thought, and this is NOT an official SC recommendation.
What about waiting a few weeks to notice what gets updated before changing things in your playlist?
Oh that is absolutely what I’m going to do. Gonna cruise on what I have currently and wait and see what SC has to offer.
It takes so much self-discipline! 
So regarding my stack, I think I’m going to just remake what I currently have but with Stark Black/Chosen/Mogul/QL4. The seduction custom is a bit trickier, as I enjoy WB’s physical shifting but I’ve always had a problem with the coquette approach because I’m so oblivious to subtle signals of attraction.
Well I fucking erased what I wrote accidentally, so that’s annoying. I think what I said was that despite feeling the lost attractive I’ve ever felt in my life physically, the women I’ve been attracting haven’t been the caliber of women I’ve been with for my entire life and I’m a bit frustrated by that.
I’ve had plenty of opportunity, but none of them have been with women who are as attractive as any of my exes, so this is genuinely starting to fuck with me. I feel like part of the reason is because I’m online dating, but I just don’t know how else to meet women without drinking and clubbing.
I’m working on learning to dance so that I can actually start enjoying myself at clubs and meet women, but I won’t be good enough until next summer at the least.
I have attractive women at work around me but after failing my shot with one of them, I don’t want to further open that can of worms cause it’s risky business.
All of these factors are just having an impact on myself, making me question whether I peaked when it comes to attraction and if I should look towards settling down.
I think what I need to do to boost my attraction is to finally start losing weight once winter starts to end. The bulk needs to end because while I gain more respect from men at the size I currently am, my face is much more attractive when I’m leaner.
I’m also wondering how to go about my seduction custom; it’s split with WB/LB/IC and S&S, and I’m wondering if I should sub out LB for HS and IC for KBBC4. Now that Saint confirmed that KBBC4’s effects are universal regardless of whether or not it’s in a custom, I feel like freeing a slot in my stack would be very valuable.
I can use that free slot to start my EOG journey once it’s upgraded. And while I wait, I can run BDLM instead just because I’m curious to see what happens.
Shit, even replacing WB for BDLM could be beneficial. Just throw in a physical shifting module and hope for the best.
Will be using this thread to hopefully source some valuable opinions on how to go about my next custom.
Instead of focusing on Stark, going for Chosen+PCC+Mogul+UPX might be the way to go.
This is a very unique time in my life, where I have to work my ass off to take advantage of the opportunity put on my lap.
I need to cut out the distractions: enough with trying to date, it feels like a fruitless exercise. My focus is entirely on my work now, and my stack must reflect as much.
So I feel like the cores I need in my stack right now to ensure balance and align with my most pressing goals are KBBC4, Chosen, QL4, PCC, Mogul and UPX.
I can go about this in different ways: I either build 3 customs focusing on romance/physique passively, work archetype and intellect, or I do 2 customs + 1 solo title.
So basically, should I just say fk UPX and just jam the work and intellect stuff together? I’ve been running 2 4 core customs so I’m already used to a dense stack, especially with KBBC4 there to do its magic. That allows me some room to play around with; a KBBC4+HS+S&S custom could be quite interesting. And I get a free slot to play around with.
I’ll wait for Black Friday to pass before I start pulling these triggers.
So I guess this would be a good time for me to actually elaborate on what’s been going on in my life lately.
I’ve basically just been using this journal as a place for me to brainstorm customs and nothing else and the reason for that is because I’ve begun to journal offline. I guess I’ve been in a bit of a funk for a little bit, I’m not 100% sure of what exactly prompted this funk but I’m pretty sure it has to do with the feeling of loneliness.
It’s hard for me to talk too much about this to be quite honest but perhaps I derive a bit of my own self-worth and value from having a romantic partner. It’s something that I’m wrestling with because I know fundamentally it’s not good and I know there is something psychologically f***** up about that.
Usually I type out all of my posts like anyone else, but this is the first time that I’ve decided to use voice typing to really capture the raw authenticity of how I feel and how I think about this type of situation, which is why I’m journaling this here online.
Anyways, these thoughts began around end of July, and the feeling of Wanted Black wanted me to pursue something romantically. I didn’t feel like I was ready to be quite honest, but logically we all have sexual needs and more fundamentally, the need to be connected to someone else. So I decided for the first time in a long time to re-enter the dating world.
To be quite honest, and probably not to anyone’s surprise, dating has been kind of lame. It’s like the people I meet just come across as artificial or shallow, like everyone is just so scared of saying what they actually want to say because of their ego, or how they want to be portrayed, or showing any sign of vulnerability or weakness. It’s not like I have an issue with not generating attraction, which was actually my (albeit illogical) primary concern. I’ve actually been able to speak to some pretty attractive girls but f***, it’s kind of miserable to speak to them. I have a hard time not thinking about my ex to be quite honest because of how much chemistry we had in comparison to all these other individuals. So a part of me just feels hopeless and almost dead inside from the results of trying to meet someone. I find it amusing that the only woman are genuinely interesting just so happened to be not as attractive as I am accustomed to dating, which makes me wonder just how much I took for granted my past relationships since these women were both beautiful and filled with personality.
I’m not sure of how to feel about this but I can definitely say that it’s made me feel quite cynical at the very least. Now that doesn’t mean that I should quit or stop dating entirely but clearly focusing on it won’t bring the same dividends to my life as focusing on my career would.
So this feeling of cynicism found itself seeping into every aspect of my day-to-day life. I decided eventually that I needed to go on a bit of a soul searching trip so I decided to take a backpack and explore Europe for 2 weeks. I went from hostel to hostel, city to city, train to train, just looking and exploring and reflecting on my self, and the general human condition. It was a beautiful experience, as it provided a lot of value to me by giving me a moment to catch my breath and breathe. The North American lifestyle is filled with things to go do, people to go see, s*** to go by, with no time to actually stop and breathe. Just the fact that I was able to just wake up in the morning, walk to a cafe, get an espresso and a small breakfast, with my journal in one hand and my book in the other, sitting outside on a Terrace staring out into the distance, surrounded by Gothic architecture was a very simple and yet rewarding experience.
Speaking of which, this is how my offline journaling came back. I decided to reopen the journal I stopped writing in, and this journal basically followed me for my entire 20s until my break up. It was almost as though I was in fear of writing in that journal, like I looked at it as a source of trauma. But I quickly realized that it was a symbol of growth and perseverance more than anything else, and writing into it felt good and familiar again. It’s almost done, but writing in that journal truly makes me happy. I bought it in a random bookstore somewhere in Manhattan, it was the first notebook I ever bought so it has a special place in my heart. Replacing it once it’s done will feel quite weird, I must say.
In the past two years of my significant growth in my life this trip made me realize that I was suppressing and ignoring specific parts of myself that are crucial in making me happy and making me feel like myself. Mainly, I’ve been so focused on my material growth in the sense of changing my career to make money, working out to look better and socializing more that I completely ignored the creative self that I’ve always nurtured Within Me for my entire life. Being able to express my creativity is so crucial for me and my happiness, and ignoring that part of myself was extremely detrimental to my mental state. The beauty of Muay Thai is that I’m able to actually release that creative self in that discipline so that was what represented my outlet in the past, but since I don’t train as I did before that part of me found itself stifled once again. I need to keep a reminder that I need that creative outlet no matter what is going on in my life or I won’t be happy.
Anyway, being alone and traveling was a very rewarding experience and coming back from that required quite a bit of adjusting. And now everything in my work life has been flipped upside down. But more on that another time.

I feel lackadaisical, I feel more blunted, I feel less sharp, I feel less “on-point”. I feel like I need the drive again. I feel a calling towards a particular sub, something that my conscious is crying out for me to use. I feel like I need to awaken the dark side of myself once again.
Once I can pull the trigger on these 2 customs, I will return to my dear old friend.

My new custom, Eros, has come in.
Getting rid of Wanted Black from my stack, as it’s not a good combination with Stark because it makes me significantly less productive when they’re combined. Also think that I don’t have much care for the WB aura anymore, I can see that I’m much more attractive than I realized in the past and my self-image and confidence has grown as a result so WB definitely did its job.
Right now, I’m just bored with individuals. I’m tired of the people I’ve met, I just want my love life to stabilize and I want to find the right girl; she may not be the one for my long-term future but someone who’ll be there for me now would suffice. Someone who won’t bore the shit out of me, and show a personality beyond the superficial while actually being attractive too.
I’ve been wanting to run this in the future ever since I started subs, and the future is now; it
is time for Heartsong. It’s the way for me to go while I focus on my monetary grind for 2024.
So KBBC4+Heartsong+LBFH+NRE. Similar module composition as before, but with modules like Apollon & Charisma/Flirting Improver to fill the gaps of WB & S&S respectively. Adding Stop Porn to enhance KBBC4, throwing in Hegemon because I’m curious to see its effect and also throwing in EEM for some increased exercise discipline.
Once PCC’s core gets upgraded to W2P, I’ll finally pull the trigger on my first QTKS custom: Stark+Chosen+W2P+QL4.
And the 3rd title? Haven’t decided between RICH Crypto or EOG1, leaning towards EOG1 even if the upgrade hasn’t been done. Reality is that there’s a lot of healing that I need to engage in if I’m going to get my life going. I’ve grown up quite a bit but I can’t afford to cling onto my younger way of doing things any longer.
Leveled up every year since I vowed to change everything in my life in 2021. Leveled up with my physique. Leveled up my mental state. Leveled up my confidence. Leveled up my career. Time for the next step.

NRE is eye-opening.
This is the first time that I’m truly experiencing the effect of the NSE experience scripting as it was described. The manifestation of events that occur in your life that teach and help you how to gain greater perspective on everything.
What are the facts? I’ve been too lazy for too long. This laziness hurts me in so many ways that I’ve never truly understood until now, and I probably don’t even understand to the full extent still.
The reality is that I have to work my ass off. I have to focus on my own shit, and its growth. I have to put consistent effort in it or nothing will happen for me.
It’s not just a finance thing. It’s a romance thing too.
The women I want are attracted to men, and specifically, the man. This is what I need to aspire towards, money doesn’t matter, looks doesn’t matter, none of that superficial shit matters.
M**** walks into the room, and everyone knows he’s the man and that’s why he’s so attractive. But it doesn’t matter at the end of the day, because what matters is his daughter and what he puts into the world.
This is the switch to turn on, and to keep going hard until you could make your dent. I only started 2 years ago, so many of these guys have years of experience ahead of me. You know what your life goal is, and to get that and to be the example you want to be to your children in this modern age you have to do things differently from the past.
Spent 3 grand on subs last year, which is very dumb IMO.
My main goal for 2024 with sub stacks is to stay more consistent, so that I could reduce needless expenses.
Feeling the recon from EOG1 and/or LBFH at the moment. Issues of self-love, self-worth, being unsatisfied and feeling hopeless for my future are currently at the forefront and surface of my life. They’re also tying into my disillusionment with dating, and my doubts towards the future regarding all the things I want to commit to.
I feel stuck, hopeless, fearful and disappointed.
I’ve been talking to a girl lately, and she’s genuinely opened my eyes to a completely different reality. Now to be clear, there’s no shot of me being with her, that much is sure.
But that quality of woman, the ones that I’ve always wanted to wife up, they exist and they’re real. They exist, they’re real, they’re looking for high quality men because they’re high quality women.
I ain’t that, yet.
My self-doubt which is directly related to my perfectionism is holding me back immensely. I want to take the plunge but I’m scared. And yet I know that if I’m going to want the life I want, that’s my only option.

Man, Heartsong is really doing something for me, I’m really impressed. The NRE script that I added has just been eye-opening, but within the context of my entire life and not just romance in a vacuum.
Makes me really want to try the NWE soon.
Man, Ecstasy of Gold needs to get upgraded.

To elaborate a bit, I only get what I see in myself. My internal reality is my external reality, and vice-versa.
This is reflected in all aspects of reality, not just some and not others.
I also realize that there’s a negative perception of my self that is very strong and that needs to be overcome. The new version of LBFH is definitely doing its thing here in that regard.
The girl that I spoke about earlier, she’s definitely an incredible and special girl. She’s definitely the type of girl that I would want to be with, but at the same time she’s also an extremely demanding girl that wouldn’t tolerate any shit from her partner. She exudes femininity while at the same time coming across as fully capable, strong and sharp, and she’s definitely the first woman I’ve ever met in my dating age-range that exudes all of those characteristics.
I opened up that post by saying “Now to be clear, there’s no shot of me being with her, that much is sure”; I say that because I’m not where I’m at financially where I can provide her the lifestyle she’s already achieved by herself. It wouldn’t make sense.
But a part of me also says that because there’s this deep-rooted fear that I will never be able to be that. That negative self-belief of myself is pervasive. It’s also the reason why I always blow my money regardless of how much money I’m making or have made, because I am so used to being broke that being broke is my comfort zone. I always live in a perpetual state of barely having enough money to scrape by because that is all that I’m familiar with.
Now with that said, this girl and I have flirted intensely in the past. She’s been in a long-term relationship for a while now that she never talks about (learned it from someone else) and we have had some wild moments especially one extremely close moment where things could have radically changed for the both of us forever. Me knowing her situation I didn’t pull the trigger. I did it for the better, and I’m proud that I did exercise self-control at that moment, for the both of us.
So I say that to say that the idea that there’s no shot of me being with her, is 100% wrong. If anything, I’ve got the best shot. She’s taken, so there’s no point in exerting any more energy on this (most of the stuff happened before I found out about her boyfriend) but the facts are that when I speak about “the high quality women I’ve always wanted to wife up”, they exist, they’re real and I qualify to be with them. My realities just need to line up and become more cohesive because they’re there, they exist, but certain aspects need to catch up to others. The only thing that’s holding me back is me, and it’s because of my fear of growing past where I am. I am accustomed to being in a state of weakness and fear, I am comfortable with being unrealized and that needs to stop because I am not comfortable with that at all. Make that make sense lol.
The power of recon is that the game-breaking feeling of your world-shattering into pieces is a clear sign that things are about to change significantly for the better. It is absolutely key for me to live on the edge, without stepping into a breakdown by going too far past the edge. I am in a shitload of recon combined from LBFH, HS and EOG1, but something will give, and it will give soon.

Do you consider running Phoenix
No space in the stack, unless I create a 3rd custom with EOG1 and make it focused on wealth, which might be a good idea.
