Consensus reached. If you want to get the girls, you've got to sleep with their gay guy friends first (apparently).In Episode #294 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: more on the sexy new intro music, why I haven't been thinking about status, can you escape playing the status games at all?, the different types of status one can attain, utilising handstands/the MM podcast/books/languages to show off and why I might just be a tosser for bringing this topic up.A big thanks to Petar the Slav, Signs of New Growth and new booster killyourfm for supporting the show. You all have the status of gentlemen, kings and learned scholars in my book.As always, we hope you enjoy.
