kissing on first dates rule
It's not a rule - you can kiss in public on the first date. I just personally don't; it's not necessary. You can easily invite her back to your place and fuck her, without having kissed her first.
@KillYourInnerLoser

Ah I’m with you. I think it’s one of those where I have to judge the situation and go with what feels best in the moment. Plus, there’s the fact that every girl is different!

I’m still in the process of perfecting my game, so this’ll probably come with time and experience: The more dates I go on, the easier it’ll get. Just gotta give myself permission to suck in the early days.

Got a few dates I’m working on setting up at the minute, so I’ll see how they play out 📅

Thanks for the advice, Andy - really appreciated 🙏🏻

Day 13: 23/10/2021 ✅

Some of you may be thinking 'What?' when you see 'walking away' on my progress log. I am not quitting the self-improvement, rather I quit something else recently which I wanted to discuss on here for my own clarity.

Today I travelled up north to collect my stuff from University. I dropped out of my Postgraduate Master's course several weeks ago and a week before the actual course started.

This was for a number of reasons:

- My father had a heart attack in the weeks leading up to my course starting.

- Despite assurances being made that it would not be, the Universities here are still implementing online learning yet charging full price.

- My course was put to mostly online despite me moving halfway across the country. Could've done a distance course and saved money.

- Upon reflection, I didn't really want to do the subject and could see myself quitting further down the line.

I soon found myself staring at 4 walls in student housing constantly asking myself the same question over and over:

'What the Fuck am I doing here?'

I decided there and then before my course started that I was going to leave and move back home before I got into something I didn't want to do and would be even harder to get out of the longer it went on.

At the same time, I became sick with the cold from hell which didn't help things at all. I am now almost recovered and am about 90% there despite it being 3 weeks now. These things do linger.

On top of this, the process for withdrawing from both University accommodation and a course is a complete and utter bureaucratic circle-jerk which required many phone calls, paperwork, forms and the sorting out of finances: The university tried to charge me unnecessary fees which I had to ring up and sort out.

I am now 100% convinced that University/college is a business first and educational institute second. In other words, it's a SCAM..

So originally, I did feel quite down about dropping out and the whole process. Was pretty pissed off with myself too.

However, I've recently changed my mindset to a more positive outlook. I think that I learned a valuable lesson from this: Sometimes it's best to know when to walk away..

This could be from a shitty job with a boss who's a dickhead, from an abusive/controlling relationship or from a Tinder match/conversation where the girl seems like an entitlement princess.

This is definitely something I will take forward with me as I move on with my life. At the time of writing this, I now have no regrets about my decision.

Most of my day was taken up by travelling and picking up my stuff, but I also got a few more things done:

- Listened to one of Andy's Podcasts, Episode #11: My lifestyle isn't for forever and why traditional relationships are normal. Really interesting content.

- Organised my Gym clothes for when I go back.

- Bought some Mass Gainer for my bulking diet.

- Bought some protein shakes to form part of my bulking diet.

- Went to sleep at like 03:00 this morning. Forced myself up at 07:00 and decided to a spontaneous hard sleep reset. Due to being ill and stressed, I have been waking up too late. Powered through and I'm planning on getting an early night tonight and waking up early tomorrow.

- Have set various alarms as well as my sleep schedule for tomorrow. Gonna aim for a 05:00 Hrs wake up. I'll see how I get on.

That's it for today - not too much done due to the busy morning, but still a few things on there as well as some reflection.

Day 14: 24/10/2021 ✅

Happy to say I got my FIRST LAY since starting my progress log/journaling on here. See below for the details:

I got talking to this girl on Tinder and we just hit it off and connected well. Good banter etc. and she seemed like a cool chick. Eventually revealed that she's just gone through a breakup and wants to have some fun.

She was really in the mood, so I did some light sexting where I teased her and explained if she wanted the rest, she'd have to meet me in person. I know that the standing advice is not to sext, so I kept it brief and found a balance: Just enough to keep her interested, but not enough/too much as to get her off 'in the moment' and Fuck up any realistic prospects of meeting.

She was non-committal about meeting for coffee at first: 'I've got a busy week ahead etc. etc. I'll let you know'..., 'I'm a spontaneous girl, I don't plan things...' etc. etc. So I played it cool, totally expected her to ghost, but offered to meet for coffee Sunday (today) and told her to let me know and chased up a few other prospects in the meantime. I've now tried to adopt this abundance mindset with Tinder/Online dating as opposed to the scarcity mindset. I feel a lot better mentally and I don't pin all my hopes on the one girl and come across as a thirsty Simp/desperate beta boy.

This morning I text her and refreshed the offer of a coffee. She said yes and we arranged for 2 as she was going to have a nap due to not sleeping well. Again, kept my expectations low here. After expecting her to flake all day, I text at 1 and asked if she was ready to rock. Turns out she overslept and asked to push back an hour. No big deal as I went down to the shop today instead of tomorrow as I had the extra hour.

Side note here: Wore my height-increasing shoes. I bought some a while back on recommendation from Andy's blog. Tried the insoles, but these were a bit too uncomfortable for me, so I spent a bit of money. These put me at just over 6ft (closer to 6 and a half feet) and I feel this was an excellent investment even if just for the first date. Also rocked my good leather, my magnetic earring and looked pretty decent.

Ended up meeting her at just after 3 and man, she was actually pretty cute. Went and grabbed coffee and had really good conversation. She laughed at my jokes/playful teasing, was really receptive and warm and just an overall sweetheart. I've been quite bitter about women lately, so it was nice to hang out with someone cool who actually put the effort in.

Turns out she had a free house until later this evening, so I ended up going back to hers and she offered to give me a tour of the house. Got upstairs and into her room and I just grabbed her and kissed her. Things went from there.

She wore really nice underwear, had a perky chest, a good figure with a slim waist and a great ass. I popped a Viagra just before (I couldn't get it up once and I now just take one before sex as insurance whenever I'm with a girl) and we must've Fucked for 4 hours.

For my own peace of mind when I re-read this, would like to state I Kept safe and rubbered up the whole time. This is something non-negotiable for me with dating, even if they claim 'to be on the pill' - condom on or I walk. I've had a few scares and Fuck-Ups in the past I may discuss on here if appropriate.

She was VERY submissive and it was probably up there with the best sex I've had. Definitely in a long time. We did a lotta stuff that ticks my boxes and the pillow talk was good too. She's a sweet girl. She is looking for something casual but semi-regular and to explore, but doesn't have much free time (I genuinely believe her on this one) so will test it and see how it goes.

I left and we've text each other thanks for a good time and goodnight. Left it open for if she wants to meet again - she said she does when she's free, so I'll see what happens.

Had a pretty good time today and just want to say a big thank you to:

@Brother_Tucker,
@MILFandCookies
@Dewm
@KillYourInnerLoser

For commenting, advising and steering me in the right direction. These tips definitely paid off today.

Today I have also:

- Posted a few posts on Instagram (Social proof for online dating).

- Been active on Tinder and explored a few prospects. More to follow on this.

- Got up (05:00 A.M) in line with my sleep schedule.

- Listened to Episode #12 of the Kill Your Inner Loser Show regarding age gaps, mentoring women etc. As an older guy (almost 27) who sometimes matches with 18/19 year olds on Tinder, this I found was a very useful episode which I hope to put into practice if I establish anything regular in the future.

- Made notes on the above podcast.

- Did some gardening/helped out around the house.

YESYESYES!

This is all because you decided to take the leap a week ago! Any time you feel overwhelmed about something and want to call it quits remember how you wanted to wait a year before talking to girls again LAST WEEK, and how in JUST ONE WEEK you got this experience!

I love when Andy says this bc it's so true - you'll get there [anywhere you want to go] if you just don't quit.

Thanks Joe! Really appreciate your ongoing support.

When I feel pissed off, I’m now going back and re-reading my log 📖 as you suggested to see that if I keep going, I get the results.

It’s really motivating and puts things into proper perspective.

Thanks again, man

Day 15: 25/10/2021 ✅

Just a quick one for today as I've mostly been doing interview prep for this job interview I have tomorrow:

- Woke up early again this morning (05:00 Hrs)

- Listened to 3 Podcasts:

- Episode #13: Overcoming porn addiction - Working my way through NoFap, so this was helpful.

- Episode #14: The Red Pill is a bit crazy - Definitely agree here. Has some useful concepts, but RedPill can be retarded sometimes.

- Episode #15: Dealing with a lack of motivation - Helpful as some days I can't be Fucking bothered! Reward is the key.

- Another Berserk Manga came (Volume 6.). I now have Volumes 6 and 7 of the Deluxe edition.

- Read some more Berserk - Hooked!

- Did some interview prep.

- Cleaned and tidied my room.

- Got my car road-ready for when I start driving soon.

And that's it for today - Got the job interview tomorrow, so just gonna see how I get on. Fucking dreading it like, but we'll see.

Day 16: 26/10/2021 ✅

Bit of a downer today - went for a job interview, but won't be taking it due the toxic work environment. Read on if you're interested :arrow_up:

So I went for this job interview today as I have mentioned in my project log previously. The interview itself went really well, but ultimately I have decided to turn down the job.

During the interview, a couple of things one of the managers said to me who was interviewing totally put me off:

- Informed me that it was a heavily target-driven role which I was cool with. Stated that if he felt I wasn't working hard enough and meeting these targets, he would be, and I quote, 'sat on my shoulder breathing down my neck'. He used these words EXACTLY. Was he presuming that I was gonna be a lazy Fucker or something?

- Informed me that I would be required to travel with the job and made no mention of reimbursement of expenses. This isn't just gas: In my country, you are legally required to have business insurance if using your vehicle for work purposes which is more expensive than the standard insurance. This was not mentioned at all on the initial job advert on the job site. Very misleading.

- Informed me that if the phone rang late at night or early morning, there is the expectation that it gets answered and dealt with to retain clients. Work/life balance practically non-existent leaving pretty much zero time to work on my self-improvement goal of sleep optimisation as well as the other things on my list e.g my main bulking goal.

- Despite him saying he does not micromanage, everything he said during the interview hinted to me that he sure as shit WOULD micromanage.

- Finally, when asked if I was happy to take the job if offered on the spot, I politely requested that I'd need a day or two to consider as I never make big decisions on the spot - which is the truth. I was however pretty much 90% decided that I wasn't taking the job, but wanted to think it over anyway.

This guy then said 'Oh is that because you've got other job offers then? What are they?' With a smug tone.

That 90% very quickly became 100%. I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from saying 'Yeah actually, I got a job offer from a company called 'How about mind your own Fucking business?.'

Despite fantasising extensively about uttering the aforementioned expletive, I stayed polite, shook hands and delta'd outta there quick as I could.

I could tell that this was a very toxic work environment and for the workload, bullshit and likely bullying behaviour from middle management, this job was not on par with the pay.

I am looking forward to ringing up and telling this guy that I won't be taking his shit job tomorrow a hell of a lot more than I probably should be.

I don't need his attitude or his job at the minute. Not that I'm picky about work - I've done cleaning jobs on toilets when I needed the money. I just know when someone is taking the piss.

The one positive I can take from this is that I got some interview experience from it I suppose. I guess I could kinda throw in here that it's made me realise that I know when a shitty deal is on the table and that I have the self-respect to say 'no'' and walk.

It can be your biggest power.

Felt a bit down about the whole thing today. Broke my No-Fap streak which Fucking sucks, but it's one of them.

I'm chalking up today as experience and I'll carry on tomorrow with the self-improvement :arrow:

I did however get a few things done:

- Got halfway through one of Andy's podcasts - will update tomorrow.

- Applied for 5 jobs - gotta keep trying even after a knock-back.

No photos today, but will get back on it tomorrow.

Thanks for reading

Day 17: 27/10/2021 ✅

Think I've recovered quite well from yesterday's downer after that bullshit job interview. I didn't get up early like I have been doing and slept in until 07:00 Hrs. Mind kept replaying things, so didn't sleep great last night. Not ideal, but it was still earlier than I have been getting up recently so I'm not too down about that. Will try again tomorrow to get up early :arrow_up:

Had a few good opportunities come my way today and was determined not to let yesterday get me down. Here's my progress update:

- Rang the interviewer from yesterday and told him I wouldn't be taking his bullshit job. The second interviewer answered who was the one who was more amicable than the other guy, so I didn't mention any of the reasons why or get my point across - no need to give flak to a guy who don't deserve it. I did ask for feedback and he said I did really well: Trying to see the positive side and I think there are definitely a few positives to take away from this including the good feedback as well as the experience as a whole.

- Read some more Berserk Manga to keep my mind occupied.

- Went for a walk for 30 minutes to get some sun and fresh air. Helped clear my head.

- Listened to Andy's podcast - episode #16: First guest John - Getting Laid, Making Friends. Interesting to listen to and got some good tips.

- I have re-joined the gym. This is something I've been Fucking around with and putting off. Been coming up with lots of excuses for not joining sooner, but I've finally decided to Give myself permission to suck and have a go at it.

I've got a workout app on my phone which is a P.T app where the trainer goes through the exercises and you input your reps etc.. As I'm out of work at the minute (but should be in work very soon) this only costs me 15 bucks a month, so is much better for me than paying an actual P.T. I think it's a good workaround and now I have no excuses for getting started. This is my main goal so it's about time I stopped Fucking around and got on with it. 'It's not the right time' but when is it ever? Updates to follow on this and I will use this log to keep myself accountable.

- I am going to head to the gym later tonight (as it's 24 hours) to get my bearings and check the place out for 10-15 minutes. It's been a while since I've been in and want to check out the layout and see if anything has changed. Good preparation for my first workout. Will post a photo on here later for accountability to show that I have done this.

- Got another job interview today which has helped me bounce back from yesterday. The interview is Friday and I'm not expecting to get it, but I'll still have a go. It's a good experience if nothing else like the shit interview yesterday. Plus the pay is okay and it would be a good starting job for my first employment after graduating with my Undergraduate degree. Updates on this tomorrow and I'll start prepping for it tomorrow too.

- Have been swiping on and off on Tinder and the other sites. Not much prospects at the minute. Kinky Daddy's girl has left me on read, so I'll probably pass on that. My tolerance for ghosts is quite low at the minute and if they can't be bothered to put the effort in, then I'm not playing chase no more. The girl I saw last Sunday and had fun with has been in contact and we've been texting on and off. Said she got a busy week, so haven't been bombarding. Don't wanna come across as desperate either. Hoping to see her again, but keeping my expectations low. Sure now that another chick will come along if this one doesn't play out. This abundance over scarcity mindset is working out well for me.

Think I've bounced back after yesterday. Got quite a bit done today which I'm quite happy with.

Gonna try and keep it going tomorrow and maintain the momentum.

Day 18: 28/10/2021 ✅

Fairly productive day today - managed to get a fair bit done which I'm quite happy with.

- Woke up late again at 07:00 Hrs :roll: I have now attempted to counteract this by placing my Alexa speaker the other side of my room so I have to physically get up and turn it off. Was gonna spend 40 bucks on a new alarm clock, but this will do the job and save me the money 💰

- Listened to several of Andy's podcasts today whilst taking care of chores around the house - Episodes #19 and #20 regarding Andy and Imogen discussing about kids. This was interesting for me to listen to as I'm pretty adamant I don't want kids but it's good to hear a few more viewpoints on the matter. Also listened to episode #22: OMG Andy doesn't know everything. This was good to listen to and helped me realise that every situation is different and to take useful information from other sources as well. 🎙

- Watched Andy's latest YouTube video: 'You have 2 months left, you Fucking Pussy'. This was a really good video as in the past, I've had stupid obsessions with starting things like the Gym etc. 'Only on a Monday' or 'I'll start my bulking diet on the 1st of next month...'What a stupid mindset! Helped me realise just how glad I am that I stopped thinking this way. 💭

- Read some more Bersek Manga. 📖

- Did some interview prep for my job interview tomorrow. ✅

- Ironed my clothes I brought back from Uni. One of those 1 hour jobs I'd been putting off and needed doing especially as I'm dating again now. Listened to one of Andy's podcasts whilst I did it and was quite therapeutic

- Bought a bullet vibrator. I'm looking at expanding my toy collection now that I've started dating again. May look at buying one item a month going forward in addition to what I've already got. Will take an 'inventory check' soon and post on here what I have 👀

- Shot my shot with Kinky Daddy's Girl who I mentioned on some of my previous logs. Asked her for coffee, but she's left me on read for a couple hours. She's either flaked or she's gonna ghost. Shit happens, man 8-) 👎

- Have been briefly texting the girl I had my first lay with last week - on and off here and there maybe replying once a day so as not to come off as desperate. She says I've left her feeling really horny and needy after we met. Gonna try set up another meet with her, but I'm keeping my expectations low here as I find this helps me in case there's a disappointment. Pray for sunshine, prepare for rain. ☀️

- E-mailed the Jiu-Jitsu club I used to train at - hopefully gonna start training again soon as they get back to me. Part of me kept saying 'I'm not ready...' but I shut that noise down pretty quick and I know if I don't start training again very soon/now, then I probably won't for another couple of months which will be more wasted time. Andy's video I watched today has given me the kick to do this. 🥋

- Dug out my Jiu-Jitsu clothes ready for when I do go back to training.

- Bought a lunch bag for my bulking diet. I have a habit of not eating properly which I am going to try to break out of when I go back to the gym and start trying to bulk. Just something to keep my lunch in, but it's got big letters on it that say 'LUNCH BAG'. Idea behind this is that I'm sure there's some science I read a while back regarding leaving messages for yourself and how this can positively reinforce new behaviours: Me seeing big Fuck-off words that say 'LUNCH BAG' will probably send subconscious messages of 'I need to eat lunch...'. 💭 🥪

- Did some gardening and lawnmowing etc. Just a little thing, but got me out in the fresh air and exercising my legs. 🏡

- Started No-Fap again - just reset the counter for this morning despite it being a day or two since to keep things simple. So far so good. Trying to get ahead of the curve in time for No-Nut November. 💯

That's it for today. Quite productive and I'm fairly happy with what I've got done. Will try and keep this momentum going. 🌘
