Howdy @Crisis_Overcomer

While not directed at my opening post, your question nonetheless applies.

Not directly focused on growing the notch count, I get laid regularly. If it grows as a byproduct of the self improvement journey, that's a cherry on top.
I want to work on improving confidence/quality in all relationships, especially with women.
I want to focus on advancing personal endeavors. (Gym, Side Hustles, Dressing/Looking Better).

Question for @biignoisee . How do you come up with the %BF - Is that using one of those scales that you input height, stand on and it spits the % out?

Thanks in advance!

I, Clarky, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously!

I'm really grateful to this community, particularly the writing of Andy and NightRoller, for giving me the final push over the edge into action this January after a few months of theory absorption. I'm proud of my progress so far and the fact that I've been able to face my fears and motivate myself on my own, but it's time to join this forum because, e.g. I need a critique of my online dating profiles. And I would like to see who's near me geographically.

My immediate goals are:

1. Maintain the good habits I've built (gym, OLD, cold approach)
2. Finish writing my thesis which is much more urgent and sadly less fun than anything related to getting laid right now.

My long-term goals over the next ten years (age 26-36):
1. Get laid and get better at it. No specific number. See what I'm capable of.
2. Have a threesome. Just one. After that I'll think of something else.
3. Build a social circle in which I can relax and be myself.
4. Attain financial or mental security as necessary so I no longer fear getting punished for my sincere beliefs and thoughts.

I'm happy for these goals to be less concrete because I don't feel at risk of slipping away into stagnation or a pit of bad habits. I'm content to just keep chipping away and discover the point where I actually need another kick up the arse. I'll then set concrete goals if I feel they'll serve me better.

I blog at scalingthemountain6.wordpress.com which has so far been about the "get laid" part. I'm not keen on writing too much here that isn't also mirrored there, so I might not post much here besides private stuff.

Hey everyone, I wanted to hop on here and share a bit about my personal journey and the exciting plans I have for self-improvement. Lately, I've been super motivated to start my own cleaning business. I've always had this burning desire to create something meaningful and provide a valuable service to others. So, I've been diving deep into research, learning all about the cleaning industry, and coming up with a solid business strategy. I genuinely believe there's a ton of potential for success in this field, and I'm really eager to make it happen!

On top of that, I've been hitting the gym regularly to take care of my physical health. It's become a vital part of my routine because it keeps me focused, energized, and mentally sharp. Plus, I've realized that the discipline and dedication I develop through exercise can totally spill over into my entrepreneurial journey. It's all about building those transferable skills, you know?

But let me be real with you all. I recently faced a major setback. My crypto wallet got hacked, and man, that hit me hard. It was a financial blow, no doubt. But hey, I'm not one to give up easily. I'm taking it as a valuable lesson and a chance to beef up my knowledge of cybersecurity and risk management. Sometimes life throws curveballs at us, right? It's all about how we handle them and bounce back stronger.

I just wanted to express my excitement and gratitude for being part of this forum. It's awesome to have a platform where I can share my progress, get feedback, and connect with folks who are on a similar path. Here's to personal growth, a thriving cleaning business, and a future full of promise! Cheers, everyone!

[MakingAComeback]

Hi,

This is Alberto, from Madrid (Spain). After a few years getting great results on Tinder with low quality pics (selfies, etc), I've noticed that things have drastically changed, and the quality of my matches is not even similar to the ones I used to get in 2017, 2018, etc...

I have read the full version of Andy's Tinder guide and would like to give and get some feedback to make our profiles better.

See you over here!

Hey bro, welcome.

Please edit your post in alignment with Andy's instructions on the first page or I'll ban your account within 3 days.

Hi, just did it right now

[MakingAComeback]

Hello,

My name is David (24M) and I have been in game for around 2 years now. I have done cold approach and OLD and have achieved a good amount of lays from this (50+).

I'm at a point now where I am no longer getting satisfaction from mindless slaying and want to focus on 3 specific goals:

1. Improve quality of lays - I want to bang the hottest girls
2. Build a social circle - I will be moving cities in a month and want to build a social circle of guys I can cold approach and hang out with. I want to find a few good wings I can night game with as well.
3. Start an online fitness business - I have been interested in entrepreneurship for a while to want to launch my online business this year to grow my income.

You have to use a REAL avatar here, a REAL pic of you.

You've uploaded a fake one (Jeff Sied) - fix this ASAP or I'm banning you.

Edit: Banned the guy above. Please don't fraud or come here with lies. We are an honesty & ethics based community. We are real and raw.

I, Tom, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously.

(I’ve been doing this since I was 16 though.)

Some basic info about me:
- I’m 40
- I’m 5 foot 6
- Born, raised and living in Eastern Europe

Looks:
- I got a 6 pack, I work out 5x / week
- Squat: 1.6 x body-weight, bench-press: 1.4 x bw, deadlift: 2 x bw
- My total testosterone is 441
- Outfit, grooming: in my view, at least OK

Money:
- I'm a Senior Software Engineer (earning in the upper 10% in my country)
- Msc. Electrical Engineering + MA. Economics
- I speak two foreign languages

RP:
- I'm Red Pill aware (read all 5 volumes of the Rational Male)
- Body count: 5 (lifetime total, excluding prostitutes)

Personal life:
- I used to drink and smoke heavily (sober since 2017, quit smoking in 2011)
- I don't think either of my parents loved me (I certainly never loved them)
- I broke almost all ties with my family about 15 years ago
- I have one person in my social circle (a Blue Pill guy I'm trying to RP with moderate success). We meet about once a month - otherwise, I live in total isolation
- Most of the time, I’m in a pretty shitty mood (mainly because of my lack of success with women and to a lesser degree life in general) but I’m not depressed in a clinical sense (I can get out of bed, I keep my apartment clean and tidy, I can do my 9-5, I go to the gym, I’m working on my side hustle, I read a ton etc.)

My story:

My entire life has been about self-improvement since the age of 16. My plan back then was to get myself a university degree, stay in shape and find a cute girl I can marry and have as many kids with as we could financially afford. I thought that having a good job and being in shape was enough to be able to do that.

I was wrong. All my 5 girlfriends that I’ve had so far have been of very low quality (e.g. some were fat, another one had disgusting teeth). I have a good understanding of the London Daygame Model. I read/watched books/courses from Alex Forest, Tom Torrero, Nick Krauser and Troy Francis but I have been consuming PUA stuff ever since the time of Mystery. I've been doing daygame since I was 22 and I have approached several hundred women since then. Of all the women I approached, I got two girlfriends (one of those girls’ vagina smelled terrible, the other one was squint-eyed, fat and a virgin at 25). The other 99%+ of women I approached rejected me most of the time politely, sometimes rudely.

I think I have a pretty good understanding of female nature and the world we live in by now. I think, on an intuitive level, I've been having a good understanding of intersexual dynamics from a very young age (way before I came across Rollo's work).

I think I will probably be banned from this forum quickly rather than slowly because it's in the interest of the owners that only the positive posts are shown. I don’t care if I'm banned but it's a stupid rule because - I suspect - the vast majority of guys joining this forum (or other similar communities) will never reach their goals with women (or money) and these are exactly the guys who need the most help but they have no chance of getting the help they need because they have to censor themselves. But negative outcomes can’t be sold, so no wonder that all paid or free communities have a strict no-negativity rule.

A couple of things:

Before you say that "I'm not putting in the hard work", let me tell you that:
- I'm quite obsessed with working out and meal planning
- I don't watch porn
- I rarely masturbate or go to prostitutes even though I have no sex life
- I'm trying to build a side hustle
- I go out regularly to do daygame (despite the fact that 99%+ of the girls reject me)
- I read a ton
- I generally live a disciplined life

To the positivity freaks:

I’m not a black-pill doomer. If anything, I despise those skinny-fat losers who play video games, watch porn all day and complain they can’t get laid. However, I’m not able/willing to brainwash myself to have a high degree of self-confidence/self-love and make myself believe things that are quite obviously untrue. In fact, the reality is that I hate myself. I’m rejected by women even though I’ve been working hard for decades on improving myself and I have achieved things that put me in the upper 20% of men in several respects (high paying job, 6 pack, physical strength). I wouldn’t mind if I was rejected because I was fat. Or because I had a low prestige job. Or because I was a nerd playing video games all day. But I’m none of that. I’m rejected by women after a lifetime of self-improvement. That’s the dictionary definition of a low-value human male. The ultimate test of a man’s worth is how women respond to him. (And yes, I’ve bought and read “You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought”.)

My plans for the future:

I’m going to continue with self improvement for the rest of my life. Maybe, the only way to be good enough for the girls one day is to get very rich. Maybe, I need to find truly new and innovative ways to meet women (e.g. setting up a business where I teach something to a predominantly female audience in the form of in-person seminars so that the “I’m a teacher, she’s a student” frame will cause vagina tingles). I don’t know. But what I do know is that I ain’t quitting.

I’m always open to suggestions or criticism, so if you have any, don’t hold yourself back. I wish all my fellow self-improvers the best of luck.

Welcome!

Go start a progress log if you're serious about success. The intro thread is purely for intros and not back and forth dialogue. Next post from you should be a progress log, with your goals, and your commitment to daily/weekly actions / next steps.

We welcome all, no matter their issues, but we demand work. You can struggle with negativity, but you must be putting in god tier grinding, and you must be coachable and listen to feedback. It is against the forum rules to be consistently negative, and not take a high level of action alongside that. We follow the ethos of Andy & Radical. We are committed to Andy's principles and upholding the values he wants to see in us.

If anyone is consistently negative, without also busting their ass doing the work, I'll ban them and root that shit out of our community.

It's not a good start that you post in your first post that you think you'll be banned soon. I am personally going to welcome you, and invite you to participate. You can have issues and struggles, and still be part of this brotherhood, but I am going to ask you to make sure you also do the work, which is consistent approaching, use of dating apps, going on dates, pulling, and driving your romantic life forward if that is your goa.
