Pretty big mistake I see from guys getting started is over focusing on one supply of girls.
This sounds like me.

Dont listen to @Crisis_Overcomer about online, he is a grizzled old vet with that and hates it these days haha
Yah he's old and crotchety for sure. Figurative old man yelling at kids on his yard

Good insight radical.

@Radical & @Manganiello, I feel like the main reason to not do online is if you'd don't want to get lulled into complacency and stop approaching because of how easy online is. At least, that's how I basically read Andy's GLL log. On the flipside, his confidence skyrocketed with the Tinder BDSM shit so he did get a hot SDL approach but still he stopped getting laid from daygame shortly thereafter.

I swear I'd go harder with day/night game if I wasn't wasting time on online.

My main goal is to approach a lot.
I don't think that will change.

But at this point online seems necessary.

And @RogerRoger that's an excuse. Go do an approach session today.

Theres a PUA I saw (not one id recommend but this is a good overview of how i feel) who described the whole thing as a 'leads machine'

Online/social media ->
Daygame/nightgame -> Contacts -> Dates -> Lays
Social circle ->

Thats how i see it too. Supply percentages vary of course but feasibly all can contribute and you should try everything

Sept 3
0/5


Just kind of doing it to get back into the swing of it.

Long Story Short
I'm feeling very committed to my goals right now. More than usual. I just don't want to be a stoic. I want more results and I'm grappling with the approach dynamics in this city and how to balance my bigger goals in light of this.

----

I haven't quite settled on where I stand with approaching here. I want to approach a lot but it seems like just going to the gym to retain muscle... Not super inspiring.



Most of my attention has gone to:
(1) working more so I can move faster.
(2) losing even more weight but faster
(3) getting decent pics for an online profile.


All 3 were good this week. Decently good actually.


I feel a weird mix of thoughts.

- I have absolutely no problem with 1/200 lay to approaches ratio.
- I like approaching a lot.
- I love the counterintuitive benefits of being rejected all the time.
- And this city is 0/900. Meaning out kf approaching 900 Calgary girls. 0 lays. 0 dates even. If the girl is NOT from Calgary she'll come out. If she is, it's a guaranteed ghost.

It's the extent to which that happens is making me think this "city sucks ass" or "it's just a negative tilt". I'm leaning to this city sucking ass. But I've seen successful guys go 1 date/1000 approaches... so it's not unheard of.

Sept 5
1/10


Was really just doing a maintenance day.

Value here is that I was basically not feeling it at all. Lots of apprehension. And the only thing that brought my mojo back were the hard approaches.

Overall audacity for the session seems to be linked to the difficulty of the approaches I
force myself to make during the session.


The one number was super receptive. Super responsive through text. So we all know how this goes.


I think @Crisis_Overcomer latest story confirms the importance of contact maintenance which is something I usually never do. But I'll need to be equally on top of this.

Wasn't really planning to approach today. But I had nothing better to do.

Pretty much every girl said thanks and ignored.

Was feeling pretty confident. Which is odd cuz usually that drops a lot when I don't approach for a few days.

Wasnt really making bold approaches. Prerry standard approaches. Girl in aisle. Girl walking in the mall. Girl on food court. Etc.

This was probably a really good day to approach for volume of cute girls but I got off work later than normal.

Nov 16

0/3
Missed probably 5 or 6.
--
Starting the session after 6pm doesn't help either. But it felt like approaching was better than nothing.

... I did a small session last Sunday (I think) maybe did 5.


---



I'm getting bitch slapped by my low volume. I know I'm missing approaches I usually would make. And the approaches I do make feel tense.

I just want to put in the milage for me to feel normal again. I probably won't be able to do a solid session til Thursday, if I don't have dates lined up.

...

Gameplan for the next 2 weeks is work 50hrs each week. Approach and get dates in. When a date flakes I work on the course I'm taking.

I'll restructure my time come December. But for now this is what I want to do.

Last thing I'll add before I go to bed.

I was talking with @colgate
And I think I have to unlearn a lot of the daygame stuff I've learnt from others.

What's odd is that I can say my first 50 approaches were probably better than my last 50. I was more genuine, down to earth, and empathetic.


I think one reason Tinder (and any other area of me life I excel at) worked out so well is because I honestly just trusted myself to figure it out and gain a feel for it.

With Tinder I read enough stuff about it until I felt like I had a *feel* for what a good profile is.

Same with sales. I read stuff til I got a feel for the ideal sales convo.

Same with music I always leaned into the feeling of the song more than the technique and I was considered "gifted" but it was just me worrying about feeling the song out more than just reading the sheet music.


I'm good at sales because I used my intuition to figure it out.
Same with music.
Same with marketing.
Same with negotiation.
Same with a lot of stuff.


I just need to like start with a new slate almost and just go in and be natural with it.

I'm analytical by nature so idk why I'd starve myself of this one gift I have for figuring shit out.

...

I almost never post journal like stuff here. But it was just on my mind.

1/4 today.
Probably skipped 10-15 opportunities.

Slowly crawling out of low volume hell.
Need to get more volume.

...

Number I got was a cute brunette working in the mall. Dunno where. Talked to her for maybe 4 minutes. Nothing super special besides the length of it.

...


There's so much stuff I want to try with day game. It's actually pretty exciting again.

@colgate pretty much gave me renewed faith in it.

But for the time being I need to get rid of the rust and AA that has built up again.

I think last time it took me 6 or 8 sessions to finally be comfortable doing large sets. So I may have to go through that process again. Which is fine.

Lol even when I just moved to Austin and did my first daygame session I probably missed out on 10-15 opportunities because I had some AA from not doing a session in 2 weeks.

You'll be getting back up to volume soon.
