Great to see that the mic recommendation was useful, sounds great. Liked the matching pop filter too ;)

I still didn't read the article, but this is something that has been on my mind for a very long time (opposed to how some people in the community see the matter as far as I can see). They say "the number doesn't matter, you're missing the journey objectifying everything etc etc."

Well, for me it's fun as fuck to have an objective number in mind. It also makes my life easier, and it doesn't prevent in any way living the moment, for me personally at least. It just prevent me from losing north and reminds me of what I rationally want instead of emotionally e.g. I'm happy with this good enough girl in this current relationship, forget my hard and far away goal.

It's like shooting for a net worth of $5,000,000. I may eventually get a good 6-figure salary and get complacent, and even if I'm "happy" by everyone's standards, I still get a thrill by shooting for more, which I love.

And if I really get there and decide that 6-figures is good enough, the goal served it's purpose either way. In any case, you have to get there first.

Biggie,

Hell yeah, man, love the mic. And I of course had to go with the pink :)

I'm going to make a video on this, actually. It's a great subject.

Awesome video Hector, finally got to see the face. Love the hair, saw the tats. Also, nice facial expressions and hand gestures and oh, the stuff you said totally makes sense.
One question though;
No beards?
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

If I could, I would, but either I'm still going through puberty or beard life isn't in my genes.

Holy fuck this is great. I now have a summary to point people to whenever someone asks "what's the point" or claims that I'm "objectifying women" (my favorite... facepalm). Great to see we share views regarding this, I honestly can only guess people who are against it never tried efficient goal-setting in their lives.

I set a a goal this month of reading at least 30 mins/day. Am I "forcing" my way through the book, slaughtering the author's arguments? Quite the contrary. I frequently start reading just because I don't want to fuck up my imaginary streak and end up losing myself for hours reading. Result? I've read 4 books in three weeks already. Last month? Zero.

Now...

God damn it I just saw you're commenting texting convos and this is AWESOME. It's "structurally" a great idea because I would probably still see value in these series two years from now whereas I'd only ever watch one video about [sticking point], for example. It's something people keep ruminating on for no reason at all and go after it vs only going up to sticking point tips when they actually run into them, generally once or twice.

It keeps me sharp, you're commenting over a real case, you may go on a tangent related to the video that happens to be a gold nugget for me.

For instance, I never though about the brilliance about having a hard-rule to only replying to one of her texts when she sends a bunch. I do it naturally sometimes when I don't have patience or am ignoring something on purpose, but this is the kind of zero-effort technique I can add to my arsenal.

Next best thing is releasing porn tapes of those sex articles of yours ;)

I'd even send a couple of convos that troubled me, but not all of them are in English. Does it works if I send you translations to the best of my ability to keep the original meaning?

@ Hector

I've re-watched the video of yours I was referring to in this thread three times in the past few days because I feel I'm running into some roadblocks.

In that video you say asking for the date was a mistake, and that he should've left at "it was intense" (talking about the party). But you also say that probably the convo would've have died there, which is exactly what happens to me.

But how do you proceed after that i.e. your attack has been turned down?

I generally go radio silence from anywhere from 3-7 days and try again but I find it's very hard to ask again for a date in a convincingly manner. I get nice investment (e.g. girl sends 20-30s voice messages, says she dreamed about meeting with me lol) and sometimes even date agreements.

I feel like a cycle goes on: a girl agreed on date, shows investment, flakes, agrees on another date, invest, flake... some of them eventually go out, majority don't. Some don't even respond again. Some do, but ignore when date request. Point is, they don't get out; is there a missing puzzle piece here?

PS: did you get my PM with the text convos? I sent them a while ago.
