me confused

Spot on!

Btw I UNsubscribed from all those emails and monthly subscriptions…so peeping here isn’t so bad

@Prague: No products! Out 3+ times a week! I know you’re 7 time zones away, but I’ll come and pimp slap you.

I read 1 book on any subject in my college study and within 1 month I can ace the exam.

I read 1 book about bodybuilding and within 3 months I can have my body fat level down to a single digit.

And then, I stumble upon “the game” and lots of books about pick-ups, I subscribed to doubleyourdating, PUAtraining, Stylelife and I have learnt about double your dating, mystery method, speed seduction, gunwitch method, the annihilation method, real social dynamics etc…
and within 2 years ++, I still can’t get a girlfriend!!

I think a large amount of info can help a person to see the big picture if he is able to discern and categorize what info is contradictory and complementary to another, which ones are irrelevant, and why that’s the case.

There’s a lot of commonalities and reiteration of concepts taught by the different gurus. I tend to lump Mystery, Sinn, AFC Adams, Mehow, Lance Mason, and Gunwitch together because I consider them to be tacticians who break down the structure and sequences of pickup. I lump Juggler with Ross Jeffries for their gift of gab and other conversational skills. I lump Vin Dicarlo, Hypnotica, Zan Perrion, David D., and Tyler D. for their concepts of inner game, masculinity, and natural game.

Unifying their ideas into a big picture can be very helpful, but does take up an incredible amount of valuable time needed for actual infield experience (therein lies the drawback of too much info).

It couldn’t be anymore true…

Hi Entropy!

Not so good news – was in hospital the week after our bootcamp, and have been at home resting. So the only thing I’ve been able to do is read and catch up on some DVDs. At least got some replies from online dating, but can’t do much til I’m better! Let’s hope that’ll be real soon – I can imagine how hard your bitch slappin’ is

I would agree with slingshot, a lot of the ideas are the same and reading can actually reinforce them. E.g. if badboy and Mystery both say the same thing, it probably has something to it.

From my own life, I don’t think reading lots of Ebooks is too bad…IF you are out in the field 3+ times a week and approaching or in set for most of the night each time. In that case, what you read the next day tends to answer your questions from last night. The problem comes when you are not active, but reading, or when you go out but a stymied by AA and only do 1-2 (blowout) approaches a night.

Yeah like my rugby trainer always says – the truth comes from the field.

@Berlin: I read the Game and my way of looking at women changed, as did my results. Problematically, so did my standards So like you, 2+ years down the line I don’t have a girlfriend, but it’s not for lack of choice! Only, my expectationsand standards are way higher than they used to be. With bodybuilding, you have measurable scales. But with meeting women, there’s only your internal standard of how well you’re doing and whether you have a girlfriend that you love being with. Tell me there isn’t one cool woman in your phone right now that you could call and say ‘I want you. I want us to be together.’

It’s like Entropy’s next post, Appreciation. Maybe you’re so good you just don’t appreciate the simple things like a nice girl liking you anymore

@phoenix
I believe it’s a different situation for you, maybe you have been in a relationship once or twice in the past before you found the community and then after you knew what pick-ups is all about, your expectations start to change and your standards getting higher. For me, I have never been in a relationships or even kissed a girl before and after I found the community until now, so theres gotta be something wrong with me! :S.

I also admit that I have never gone out more than once a week in the field, because I am a kind of person that don’t react well to rejections. If I am going out one night alone and get blown out by maybe 3 or 4 sets, Im done for the night!, then I went home feeling defeated and it usually took several days or even a week for me to recover.

I think my standards are average, I usually approached girls between 6 – 8 (according to pua rating), never below or above that numbers, so it should be achievable for me. Btw, I am not germans, I am an asian student and just continuing my study here in Germany, so maybe most european girls themselves have higher expectations when they saw me talk to them.
