Staying for 4 nights in Freiburg with ZADDY Cain
---
It's hard to describe how much I loved living with Cain, approaching with Cain, staying up past midnight talking about feelings and insecurities with Cain, being taught how to properly butter a pretzel by Cain, drinking local beer and eating local flammkuche with Cain, and being sent into the depths of a black forest hike by Cain.
The previous commenters already covered it, but he really is very no-nonsense while also being full of life. There's an unshakeable energy in him that values in-person connection, community, sex, and the beauty in little things, which came out the most in his enthusiasm for showing me all the little details of Freiburg & black forest life.
He's also clearly very inspired by the best of the GLL era and wants to embody it as much as possible. He's done over 2500 approaches without any coaching, and his strongest feature is that he simply goes for it and tries to get it done no matter what.
He doesn't skip sets until he gets a "good approach", or bail on conversations until he gets "good" reception, or push for instadates only when there's "good logistics" the way most of us do. He does bad approaches, bad convos, bad logistics, and tries to make them work anyway.
At one point we opened a 3-set at like midnight who were trying to catch the last train home. What went through my head was "ok how would we even make a 3-girl instapull work in one tiny studio apartment against the excuse of them catching the last train home???" and I started trying to bail on the set.
But what must've gone through his head instead was "lmao fuck these retarded excuses I EMBODY THE PURE SPIRIT OF SEX" and he told them they could come to our place and catch the earliest train tomorrow.
(no this didn't work)
He knows success comes from daring to fail, and he has the results to show for it.
At the same time he's also calibrated in set, great normal conversation, persistent, humble, open minded, strong and shows his feelings. He's a great wing for group sets and I loved doing them with him, and delivers and receives feedback well. We also cooperated well to assign solo sets to each other. Except when he wanted to rock papers scissors to see who got a hot af set and I just autistically ignored him and ran after her anyway. Closed so it was #worthit. He was also very gracious with letting me use his place for the pull past his bedtime.

I also loved going out on the town with him - eating, drinking, taking in the vibe, being told the history of the place, walks through parks. I was actually surprised as fuck that he'd only been living there three years because it felt like he'd grown up there.
Freiburg overall feels very, very liveable. The combination of nature, modernism, comfy vibes, and optimism are 10/10. There's a reason it's hard to find housing. There's no language barrier, pretty much everyone speaks english.
If I had to come up with any flaw, it's that the women trend more towards being mid... feminists? because of the city's culture. That does gets balanced out by how good the demographic ratio is overall, and there's still plenty of attractive girls, and plenty of tourists visit, but it's not exactly a hotspot of "cool" hot big city tainted bitches or hyper specific archetypes. But you'll be fine if you like cute chill girls.

Cain is a true believer in community and in person socializing. Sleepless nights debating its merits and having him slap the phone out of my hands over and over (metaphorically) convinced me it comes from deep inside him rather than just being a flimsy logical decision.
I'm in a phase of my life where I really value isolating myself to meditate and develop inner game, but I'm convinced that if you have even the slightest inclination to team up with other people to get shit done, Cain is the guy to team up with.
I also met the other Brotherhood roommate-to-be and got along great with him.
I absolutely recommend anyone come visit Cain and stay with him, and if you're European and aligned with his goals, to really strongly consider joining his project.
