Hey guys. Wow, it's been months since I've posted anything. For so long now, over 6 months, I've been mostly in my head, unlearning bad programming, and instilling new, fresh perspectives. I'm definitely a late bloomer, being 24 now with practically nil experience with women. But as I've said...
.....did he give himself a hernia or something? That's not natural...even the woman's freaked out.
Thanks for the encouragement Duo. It always helps to have a helping hand give you a push forward once in a while and I appreciate your advice. I'd just like to explain why I don't actively go out and engage in approaching many girls and practicing seduction skills (only when opportunity...
Well, since we're sharing life challenges with each other, I'll share one of mine. I was just recently rejected entry into a professional school (dentistry). Up to that point I had finally gotten rid of so much darkness in my life and became a very energetic, upbeat person. It's unfortunate...
I'm with AK on this one. Being manly has nothing to do with accessories. Lots of cultures (in fact, most) don't partake in males accessorizing, and they certainly have plenty of "manly" men. It's attitude. In addition to being confident and comfortable with yourself and all that jazz we're familiar...
Great advice from SHS. I just have one thing to ask though. In your post Sedukter, I couldn't really pick up on any of your intents. You sound lost. What is it you want exactly? Do you just want some clean innocent fun with this girl for just one night? Do you want to have sex with her? Do you want...
What you could do to start off is use what you know, and make it interesting. So if you want to talk about real estate for example, think of encounters you've had in your experiences that can make for an interesting story, and practice telling it. But you have to keep something in mind. Why are you...
Love this journal. And I like your honesty Smash and how you're very comfortable critiquing yourself. It's a very important skill to have, so don't disregard it. Seriously though man, how many guys can boast the ability to walk into a club, go up to complete strangers, strike up conversation out...
So when you're out socializing at a club and having fun, how are you being productive on the grand scale of the world? Are you dramatically changing people's lives? Making a real difference? Let's keep things in perspective. That's just your way of having fun. "Productive" is a very relative...
Wow I just had a retarded thought. If you had all the STDs out there, then you wouldn't have to worry about contracting them. Ugh, messed up.
You wanted some special trick to use, right? I have only one to suggest to you that will take you a long time to master (if you apply it properly). And it's highlighted by what Duo said: Inner game. Master that, and you'll quickly realize that "tricks" are overrated. They have their uses, but...
Careful not to generalize guys. Playing a chess video game for instance will most certainly NOT put you in a comatose state. Also real-time strategy games can be quite brain intensive. Not all video games are mind-numbing shoot 'em up shit. It's not the fault of video games that they're abused by...
Woah, hold up. If you're willing to give up a part-time job (that you would otherwise keep) for a date with a girl, you need to pause and think about that for a moment. To me, that sounds like a major issue with your inner game that needs to be handled. But I don't know if you were serious about...
Just to give credit where it's due, I'm fairly certain I've come across this in David D's material a while back. But yeah, you're right, it's far more effective to not back down when you're challenged. Ads
I agree with Rid here. If you use this strategy while you're still with a girl, you're being unfair to both you and her. If you don't think she's adequate, don't mislead her, move on instead. If you use this strategy after you've broken it off with a girl that you were attached to, you're...
The guys are right, that conversation took a very unexpected direction. If I was posed with a question like that, I'd immediately divert any seriousness by throwing a cocky funny comment, like "Why, are you asking me to marry you then spank you?" or something along those lines. In general, don't be...
Heh Don Charlie, your avatar is killing me at work man. When I'm checking the forum and see a post from you I always have to scroll so that your avatar isn't visible. I'm still awaiting the day that somebody will call me out on "surfing pr0n" ;)
3 letters before hearing anything back? Too much. In fact, you shouldn't really need more than one. And in your last letter to her I think you came on a bit too strong. I'm confused actually. Were you implying that she's playing hard to get, thus she's average, and that she should stop playing hard...
Hmm, I can see where you're coming from K, when you're interpreting AK's perspective. And I can see why you might think it would be unappealing. I think the distinction to be made here is that NOT ONLY do you make the choice that you will not (transforming "I can't" into "I choose not to"), but...
Same, just split up. At least the program with the former name shares the same titles.
Damnit Rid, that was number 6, not 4!! You misquoted me, I swear to god I'll kill you!!! On a more serious note, I couldn't have elaborated it better myself. I was just lazy... Oh and Shark, I agree with you on the whole enjoying the process thing, and I tried to broadly cover it with "You have...
I was just about to post that up. He beat me to it. By being selective as to who you talk to you're pushing yourself closer to developing a superiority complex my friend. Having higher status doesn't make you above people. And if the concern is that girls might see you talking to lower status...
4. You have to have fun. 5. At times you WILL fail, so be prepared to learn. 6. Be open-minded, there are many styles in pick-up. This is off the top of my head. If I think of any others I'll post them if nobody hasn't yet.
Though this guy writes short responses, often times the shit is profound. There's an underlying concept here in my opinion. He's right, you can't not be emotionally attached to people, otherwise you're not being one with your emotions and are holding yourself back. And being needy due to an...
I have a different perspective on this topic. I don't necessarily believe that seeing a beautiful woman and wanting to have sex with her right away is a display of weakness per se. Just because you desire something or someone doesn't mean they automatically have power over you. However, I do...
Hmm, if we're talking biology, is it need to belong, or need to be safe (safety in numbers)? Does acceptance inherently impart a sense of love? Agreed, provided you serve as an avenue for pack acceptance. An outcast using the same methodology will theoretically yield little to no effect. I think...
Hmm, but can love be compared to non-object oriented emotions such as happiness or depression? Your love is directed towards some target. I personally can't grasp the idea of just loving, without anything particular to love in mind. My guess is that I'm misunderstanding you AK. Clarify? Ads
Yeah, that's why I emphasized how I was portraying this movie exclusively for its masculine perspective. If we consider the movie as a whole, I think it was a great action movie that could have been something bigger. It really could have been an epic, but that's what happens when you try to stay...
For us newbies to this sort of thing, information like what Vision's put up is invaluable. So for those of you that are great at story-telling, please help out whenever you have time by posting any tips and suggestions that can add to what Vision's already mentioned. Thanks a bunch. Ads
Interesting highlights Jericho. And though I agree this is quite an admirable goal to strive for, have you experienced it firsthand? I obviously am not even close to this level of spiritual enlightenment, so I have no experience to go by, but it'd be interesting to know whether it's actually...
Separate names with a comma.
