Your Golden Age.

[LimeLight]

I think everyone’s had peaks in their lives.

The happiest time of your life, the most productive, or when you were getting the most results in seduction.

I am mainly referring to seduction results and overall life productivity and content.

My peak was a few years ago, having a great social life hanging out with cool people and hot girls were abundant in my social circle.

I was eating right and working out properly. School and money was locked in a positive way.

I was getting more and better results with women than I ever have before or since.

I managed to have sex with 6 new women in a month, 4 were from tinder. Most were fairly attractive.

Does everyone just have a golden age and then never repeat it?

Or can you always break your own personal results?

I want to earn the same level of results as my “golden age” and go beyond that, but after trying for a while I feel a bit discouraged.

Even logistical aspects matter significantly, I was surrounded by hot girls daily, where I live now is not as abundant and I have to travel to go somewhere to approach in quantity.

My game has definitely gotten rusty from taking a break. My mentality and ability to give advice is still good, as I can give it from the perspective of the mindset I had in my “golden age”, but in terms of results and actions, I haven’t come close to managing to get back to my old peak and surpass it.

How are your experiences with this?

I have only heen able to have sex with 2 new women a month at most since this “golden age“ of mine.

I would like to surpass the results I achieved of sleeping with 6 new women in a month.

Again, 4 were from tinder, but the quality wasn’t bad and most of the girls were fairly cute.

Out of curiosity, I would like to hear the specifics of people’s golden ages and what results they were getting and what was going on, so please share that if you’re willing.

Living my golden age right now. Each day is better than the last.

This is what I like to hear.

Can you elaborate?

And how are you achieving results and maintaining high levels?

Just going out in field regularly + reading lots of GC articles and reflecting on the lessons. There are no shortcuts

I see… Interesting you say that. Thats one of my favorite sayings, ”There are no short cuts.”

Whatever “golden age” you look back on in a destitute time was not that great because it did not lock in your future success.

Which means there is a greater golden age to come if you keep moving forward.

Usually “golden ages” like that came from burning off a finite resource, and most of what was true then is no longer true for one’s present circumstance.

If the mindset that powered your golden age really was universally helpful, it would be helping you now. If it’s not, it was a “then” mindset and a new one is required.

But yeah—

My mentality and ability to give advice is still good, as I can give it from the perspective of the mindset I had in my “golden age”

Maybe I am casting myself onto your statements here, but I feel you may relate to this—
It is funny when you see people going through something you have previously gone through—and you know exactly what to tell them—but because life taught you all your lessons the hard way, they have no reason to believe you. Funny and infuriating.

It’s like “dude, when I’m at the point in my life where you wouldn’t question my advice, I will not have time to solve your issues for you.”

I definitely relate to that statement at the end.

Good point, I think quantity wise and some results would be burning a finite amount of excess will power.

But I’m more concerned with quality and inner happiness now than quantity and external superficial achievements.

I’ve only laid one solid 9 before, I’d choose a 9 over 6 new women.

Good analysis, thanks man.

No need for a scarcity mindset. You can have both !

Love the enthusiasm!

Haha, that is technically true.

Oh, I forgot to reply to your message my bad, been busy lately.

An interesting topic… I would say 2009-2012. Not a care or responsibility in the world, I had a great group of friends and we were all about macking on girls and having fun. The parties were endless and I had an insane amount of success in terms of volume. I would say 60% of my “lay count” came during those three years.

Over a decade and two very long term relationships later here I am with tons of responsibilities, and a lot of married friends who have long moved on from that lifestyle. So it has been very interesting getting back into the game essentially on my own.

The big shift for me now is I’m not as interested in simply racking up lays as I am with mastering the skills to get them. I don’t have the big circle of friends or live near a college campus anymore, but I am fundamentally way more attractive than I was back then, with a decade more sexual experience. Refining my skills + momentum is going to equal this year being my NEW golden age. I am already seeing the building blocks falling back into place.

Interesting, I’ve come to some similar conclusions recently and pondering this thread.

Skill set is the cause and results are the effect.

To some extent the foundation of this forum is skill set prioritizing, other the time, effort, and resources a dedicated member puts into improving himself could buy 50-200 hookers.

I’ve realized my genuine happiness should come before any superficial numerical goals like X number of lays per X time period.

And quality over quantity, I’d rather not have sex with too many women but get a small number of solid 8s and 9s.

Depth over width, having deeper connections and experiences rather than a wide variety of experiences.

Circumstances certainly help, if I were put back in the same situation back then I would be able to replicate those results of my golden age.

But let’s band together and pursue our Diamond Age.
