Update:

Haven’t posted on here for 6 days. For the first 4 days I was just being lazy and not doing shit but I’ve gotten back on for the last two.

I finished reading “The Mystery Method” yesterday and I’m currently reading “How to become Straight A Student”.

I think it’s best to take a break from the forums for now and go out and live real life.

In this time I’ll be getting my grades right, working on my inner game and continue to talk to girls. I’ve become to focused on posting on the forums instead of taking action (caring about the views my log gets ect.).

I will update you guys again in a couple of weeks.

But just man to man, I wanted to say, you need MORE STRUCTURE, MORE ACCOUNTABILITY, MORE PROCESS

Even one post a week will do great things.

Otherwise, wish you well, wish you happiness, and success in all you do. I respect any decision you make.

I've felt this before as well, and whenever I do it's a reminder I need to buckle down and make some real progress towards my goals, which is why I'm glad you clearly stated which of yours you'll be working on.

Come back and update us after you've accomplished something you feel is worth reporting on, or if you have a question or an experience you think the guys on the forum could answer or benefit from.

Good luck, and remember to be patient and forgiving towards yourself as you work towards your goals. Try to be your own greatest ally and fan, instead of your biggest enemy and hater!

I understand. It would be pretty foolish to completely remove myself from the forums and therefore not get any feedback from you guys anymore.

I do think it’s still best to reduce my time on here. But it does probably make the most sense to keep posting daily as the guys that are on here are the guys I aspire to be like and can only give me feedback if I post my progress regulary.

I will keep posting at least once a week, thank you for your feedback.

Damn you’re looking shredded! Right, positive Self-Talk will be important on this journey. And I will report when anything significant happens, thanks.

Why am I scared to approach girls?

Went down the rabbit hole of answering this question, as I just don’t seem to be able to do it. Granted, I probably tried to approach for 6 days in a row, then didn’t go out for 4 days and then got back on it for the last two days.

Plus I’ve “only” been going out for 30 min. each day.


So these are the results:

1. Why am I scared to approach girls? -> Because I fear rejection.

2. Why do I fear rejection? -> Because I’m scared to end up alone.

3. Why am I scared to end up alone? -> Because being alone would mean that I would have to learn to enjoy my own company + Face my insecurities/ issues one by one.

4. Why can’t I learn to enjoy my own company + Face my insecurities/ issues? -> Because doing so would be scary and hard

5. Does the process of me learning to enjoy my own company + Facing my insecurities/ issues have to be scary and hard? -> Probably, but probably less so if I break it down into manageable steps.

6. Why don’t I enjoy my own company?

-Negative self-talk (nobody likes hanging out with an asshole, even if it’s yourself)

-I live quite a boring life (“Hanging out with myself” is just really not that interesting)

-I don’t know myself (I feel like I don’t know what I really want ect.)



The rabbit hole is probably way deeper than this but I haven’t come up with new questions yet. Might edit this specific post later on and add new questions I’ve found or I’ll make an entirely new post.

I’ll talk about possible solutions for not enjoying my own company and confronting my insecurities/issues in the next post.

I like that you've done some introspection, I think it's important to step back and figure out the "why" of why you feel certain things sometimes... as long as it's accompanied by some form of action.

Your thoughts influence your behavior, but your behavior also influences your thoughts. You can tackle your insecurities at any one of those levels that you've outlined in your post, but finding direct solutions to deep stuff such as not knowing yourself and having negative self-worth is harder than finding solutions to the surface problems you're having, which is not being able to approach.

You can hate yourself and at the same time go out and approach women. You can think you're the most boring person in the world, and still go out and approach women. You might not get good results cause of the deep level insecurities, but you can still do it anyways. I haven't been closely following your log so I don't know what you've done in terms of approaching, but find a solution for that first. First get used to the rejection, and eventually whatever "mental gains" you get from approach will trickle down to the deeper stuff. Your behavior will change the way you think, and chances are you might stop having all that negative self-talk just by virtue of taking positive action.

This doesn't mean you can't work on trying to make yourself more likeable etc. while approaching at the same time, but I don't want you to fall into the trap of mental masturbation and trying to figure out everything without taking action.

Right, thank you for the reminder, that does make a lot of sense. Action comes first.

That one line really hit me: “Your thoughts influence your behavior, but your behavior also influences your thoughts.”.

I’ll have to write that down.

On Frontlines for 1h 30 min.

This is from yesterday. Was out there for 1 hour and 30 min. this time, but didn’t talk to any girls.

Did OLD, went to the gym and played basketball as well.

Lazy day

Stayed in bed all day doing nothing except OLD.

(Been getting more replies since I changed my first message to “Hey, you’re sexy. Looking for something very specific on here.”)


Note: 1 month left to reach my goal of sleeping with 1 girl.
