Thanks for the share @Manly Cockfellow. Pretty familiar with the book and the concepts. More or less done them before. It works, but it takes practice.
Ultimately the end goal is to feel entitlement without a pump-up. I actually feel entitled now to women overall, but not quite with the really attractive girls so that is what I'm gonna be focusing on.

- 1283 calories
- 30 minutes of teacher studying
- back still hurts like a mofo. Been affecting sleep.
- And got the ***VISA***
Finally. Fuck.
This has been a goal sitting on my mind for about 24 months.
The visa process itself started the week I broke up and itself took over 5 months from start to finish, full of dodged landmines and conflicting government instructions.
I'll be landing in Seoul and staying there for a year.
Just need to receive the passport back in the mail and I'll be jetting to Korea possibly by Sunday or Monday.

I hear you man, but I was thinking of this more as a 21 day practice (like the book recommends) where for 30 min a day you gradually make and play out a more and more realistic visual scene of yourself already having had sex with the hottest women you know or have seen (so probably should visualize several stunning women instead of just one), which then leads to a massive and hopefully permanent self-image adjustment.Manganiello wrote: βThu Jan 05, 2023 4:12 amUltimately the end goal is to feel entitlement without a pump-up.
(I admit I could have explained that part of my suggestion better)
Personally, I'm gonna try picturing myself as a kind of Genghis Khan or devil surrounded by all the most beautiful women I know and want to sleep with, and while these women are doing all manner of sexual things to me and going wild with pleasure at being in my presence and trying their hardest to please me I am just relaxed and comfortable and enjoying myself, because this is nothing new for Lucifer/Manly the harem king. This is just a normal day for him.
Either way I'm gonna continue with it for the next three weeks and I'll let you know how it goes!
And congrats on the visa!

Hey dudes.
Haven't updated as much as I would've liked to. I don't want to make a super long post. And I can elaborate on stuff if anyone cares to ask. But I just want to update.
I moved to Seoul
... - I got out here roughly 10 days ago.
- Already met up with @lacroix a few times, a dating coach/friend here, and a platonic chick I met from Hellotalk.
- The women are beautiful and abundant.
- you can comfortable raise the attractiveness of an average girl by a +2. Its rare to see an overweight girl.
first few days
I flew out on Tuesday 2 weeks ago. I arrived at 5pm, by 7pm I was at work and met my boss. At 9pm I got to my apartment and learnt that I had no furniture so I slept on the floor using some clothes and pillows as my bed.
...
Honestly that night I was thinking. This was the worst fucking decision I ever made. Like I fucked up hard. Missing a country I could understand, and coming to terms with how little I knew about Korea (despite studying it) and ultimately missing my gf.
But it's interesting because after doing some thinking, I realized I actually was really only missing her. If she died or refused to see me again, I wouldn't want to return. That realization gave a lot of perspective.
Recently
... I worked maybe 80-100 hours last week.
So haven't had time to update anything really. That isn't a normal workload. But I basically got thrown into the job with little direction so had to figure pretty much everything out immediately. It should ease up a lot over the next few weeks tho
This weekend is the lunar new year so I finally got some time to buy basic stuff like pots and pans, western food, and explore a bit of Seoul. The city is absolutely massive and crowded. Makes me wonder how well I could've done if Calgary had the same population density.
What's next
.. - I actually probably won't have time to focus on girls for the next 2 months. Due to work and sorting out taxes and stuff like that in Canada.
- So likely will be focused on weightloss and bolstering my Korean speaking and listening skills.
Weight Loss
I have no idea what I weigh. I have to find a scale at a store still. I'm probably about 10 lbs heavier than I was 2 years ago. Which isn't horrible. But it's not great either. Especially since most people in Korea are skinny.
Learning korean
This is going to take a long time and might not even be worth focusing too much on it.
Korean takes about 2000 hours CLASS TIME to be comfortable with it.
And I'm not sure if I'll be here for 1 years, 2 years or forever yet. So I'll focus on it a bit, but going to language school doesn't make sense unless I plan to live here permanently.
The other thing is English proficiency is shockingly high here. Unlike Japan. Most young Koreans can understand basic English if not can comfortably speak it.
Will give more updates as they go.
Fitness accountability group chat
Anyone looking for more accountability in there fitness can join the group chat I started with a few other bros for added accountability to their gym or weight loss goals.
Only ask is that youre actually active and post consistently. Otherwise I'm kicking people out.
DM if you want to join. Its on Discord.

It literally did end a few days after that.Manganiello wrote: βTue Jan 03, 2023 4:10 amGot back together btw, and it's going great, but we both know it's ending in a matter of days.

Props to you for taking massive action.
I'm curious how your journey in Korea will turn out.
Also, nice photos!

It was more like sheer terror and I don't get phased easily.
I was sleep deprived, exhausted, didn't understand the language, didn't know how shit worked, had this expectation to perform at a job I've never done before the very next day, and honestly just going through the breakup pain again.
That part had gotten significantly better as I have my bearings and a somewhat normal apartment now.

I'm curious too. There's so many bangable chicks it's insane. But we'll see. I won't really have time til mid March (hopefully sooner) to sink time into game again.

Notes
Finally got myself somewhat established in my apartment. Got a desk and shit.
My main concern rn is re-establishing habits that made me both successful and happy in the past.
So to start restarted a pretty aggressive deficit to kick-start a dieting phase again. With the help of @Dewm and @goldfish for the added accountability.
Next week I'll be tackling taxes and unfinished stuff in paperwork.
Although it's not a habit, its pretty much a giant time sink I need to clear.
I expect this to take awhile. As much as I'm itching to go and build a massive social life and meet tons of girls this has to come first.
