Ayoo
Finally, exams are done, I can sit the fuck down and focus on what's really important to me:
Seduction, Music, Career, and Knowledge.
I've been meaning to get a Journal started for a minute, and after checking out different parts of the forum enough it feels appropriate. Great way to organize my observations, progress, and success (I've been having success and failure but have been way to busy too write about it).
Strengths:
- Comfortable with approaching in social atmosphere
- Able to stay motivated after failures
- Body language
- Strong eye contact as a tool for tension
- Persistence
- Voice
- Moderately good-looking
- Been told I'm "smooth"
- Joining clubs and networking. I plan on becoming the VP or president of my freestyling club within the next year
- Motivated and interested in topics independent of eachother
Qualities that are good, but not great:
- Social calibration (I receive a polarized response from people)
- Conversationalist (I can't fucking stand small talk, and find myself hard pressed with some people's responses/engagement who prefer small talk)
- Texting (I've gotten many girls that eat everything I text right up. Leading, innuendo, warm texts. But, some take forever to respond or stop)
- Confidence (overall, I feel that I'm confident, yet it becomes shaken when there are outside stressors sometimes.)
- With the polarization of responses from people, I've been told my some that I "walk around like I own the place" or that I'm opinionated. Personally, I do not feel this way. I'm fully aware that my opinions are nothing more than my opinions, and the rest is body language (I hope I'm not being ego-syntonic)
- Escalating (Once I have a girls interest and the logistics are aligned, I move them home fairly easily. However, once at home I still sometimes meet problems with LMR
- Reputation (The people - loose friends - that I would hang out with in high-school (everybody that partied) have given me a polarized response as well. I either see a high amount of respect, girls thinking I'm attractive, or, being labeled a party-boy, cray, or even a slut under some circumstances.
- I've cut back on drinking, smoking, and recreational drugs
- I've vastly expanded my clothing style. Currently buying from Banana Republic, Guess, and multiple Street Wear shops. I'm aiming for a style that combines "nicer" clothing that I like the look of with more casual styles like chicago and new york street wear.
-Been working out, and in good shape. Definitely an ectomorph and still pretty skinny.
Weaknesses:
- Gaining immediate investment after approaching. I feel as though I have about 10 seconds to do something attractive / better than the next guy before the girl walks away or decides to stay and see where things will be going
- Getting passed LMR. I've heard everything from "We shouldn't go further" to "I just got out of a LTR" to "I'm not that easy, nice try". I don't want to convince her to fuck, but I don't to give up. Difficult balance for me.
- Differentiating 'playing hard to get' with genuine disinterest. I've wasted time on a few girls with this, and I've also given up on some I could have gotten.
- Tying sex into the conversation in a smooth way. I have done this, and damn does it feel good when it lands. Girls eat it up. But, I feel like I say it in a way that leans on creepiness/being forced too often.
- Bragging - I'll be really good about it when everything is stable, and totally keep it to myself ('it's no one's business anyways' mentality), but when recovering from a dry patch (over 2 weeks) the bragging just comes out.
- Passing shit tests (I've improved with this, but there are so many shit tests out there that I'm not experienced enough to handle yet. Goes with the 'playing hard to get' thing)
- Finding a social group that aligns with my interests. I have my foot in many different groups. A couple fraternities, my high-school friends (we essentially have all the big parties over summer and winter), a few clubs, work friends.... but I can't seem to find actual, entire groups that enjoy self improvement. I'm always somewhere between hanging out with my dudes that just love to fuck around / get fucked up and people that are actually moving forward in one aspect of their lives (music, career, knowledge). Perhaps that's an unrealistic expectation to think I'll discover some group that likes exactly what I like, and having a foot in different circles is just fine.
-Dealing with REALLY shitty people. My roommates ex-girlfriend (not really ex) is a self-proclaimed cunt. Talks shit to me about how much she hates me in my own house, and I usually laugh it off. Lately, I've wanted to kick the bitch out of my house with her shit. I know I can't because of my roommate, but I've never felt more irked by someone. (I rarely run into this, but being able to handle it when I do would be great)

Different girls..
Laid: 6
Dated: 8
Hooked up with: 12
Numbers: 40?
This is a decent start. Excited for the future. Gonna be on my grind with self-improvement this break. I'm trying to think of somewhere to do cold approaches, but it's like 10 degrees where I'm at (no pun intended). I think I'll hit the mall soon to do some christmas shopping...
