LEVEL UP!
Whilst we were in the gutters of obscurity, there were belief systems and behavioral patterns that were acceptable on that level, and to the people we met at that level.
If you wish to be promoted in life, you must be willing to rinse your mind of everything you've ever known, and then learn the constitution of the new world you aspire to.
Some people are hindering themselves from promotion due to the yama-yama behavior carried over from their previous environments.
====
PAPARAZZI
====
For example, you don't come into a privileged environment and take photos of a person you admire without their express consent.
There might be no law against it.
They themselves might not make trouble just for the sake of decorum. But that's all you'll get - the picture and not the relationship.
You don't step into a privileged environment and without their permission, start recording someone you admire, so you can show your equally morally bankrupt associates that you're hanging out with that person.
Again, they might see what you're doing and say nothing.
But whenever your name comes up in future conversations, they'll say, "No, call someone else. She doesn't know how to behave"
You need to understand that for the level you're seeking acceptance into, you'll be dealing with people who have a heightened 'scandal value'.
They know it and so when you reach out to them and they greet you with their plastic smiles, they're looking you over and silently asking, "Is she going to be trouble?"

WANDERING EYES
====
Listen guys, it's very possible to retrain the mind to maintain strict eye contact with an attractive female and not stray south. It takes practice, but believe me, it can be done.
When you're at a function and you're privileged to have a conversation with a female in a position of authority, please don't side with your village witches.
Forget everything you've ever seen in pornographic movie scenes and keep your eyes above her chin.
You will not die, I promise you.
Being deviant won't help you.
It won't let you ask the pertinent questions like:
Is my behavior appropriate?
Is she married/committed?
Is she here with her significant other and is he watching this interaction right now?
If he's not here, is she so loyal that she'll inform him of my behavior?
Does he have the power to ruin my life?
If not her significant other, is her father present?
Are there security cameras/personnel observing the proceedings?
Are there influential people here who are watching my comportment and using it as a measure of my competence and trustworthiness?
And so on and so forth...
Because you've left the gutter but the gutter hasn't left you, you score own goals by looking at her cleavage and acting your real age by even daring to flirt.
Our people say that when a chicken enters a new environment, it stands on one leg first, while observing the new terrain.
Being deviant won't let you and then you get into situations that cause unnecessary and debilitating drama for you.
Again I say this - for the environment you're coming from, this gutter behavior might be tenable and understood by the people on that level.
But it won't get you into these new doors.
Your old crowd will challenge this thought and ask, "But what's wrong with..."
On this level we don't ask that. We instead ask, "What's RIGHT with..."
For some of us, we weren't specifically taught these things by our parents and that's okay. They tried.
At least we're educated and have acquired the ability and willingness to unlearn, learn and relearn.
What got you HERE, won't take you THERE.
