Alright, so being a newbie in the community, I wanted a way to desensitize myself to the whole Approach Anxiety thing. I read about a challenge to do 100 approaches in 30 days, so I committed the month of May to this challenge. I started on May 1st and finished on May 27th.

I would definitely recommend this challenge to anyone that wants to get control over their approach anxiety. I still get nervous for the approach but I can control it every time now and keep myself calm, collected, and confident. This challenge works like a charm.

The object is not necessarily to try to get 100 numbers. Out of the 100 approaches, I only went for 16 numbers. The point is just to learn how to control that AA.

My final statistics:

Approaches: 100
Number Attempts: 16
Confirmed Numbers: 6 (these are the numbers that actually replied when I texted/called)

Congratulations to persuade yourself in doing it!
I love the concept behind the idea by the way, great way to eliminate or at least control your AA.
I've been thinking of doing something alike I put the month of July as a standard for myself.

Awesome man! Just remember to have fun with it! Something that helped even more was that some of the approaches I would do, were intentional blow outs. It's surprisingly fun to get rejected intentionally sometimes because it shows you that life goes on haha. It's all sooooo much easier after the challenge.

Alright I accept your challenge. Ill approach 100 girls between now and June 8 (I live in NYC theres plenty of girls to approach as long as I don't bitch out). Ill report in with my results on June 8

Looking forward to hearing your results! Don't worry about bitching out of some, there were plenty that I bitched out of throughout the month. The trick is to admit to yourself when you bitch out instead of coming up with an excuse like some people do. "Oh she's on the phone...I can't approach her." "Yes you can! You just bitched out!"

Side story that I just got remembered: I approached this girl that was on her phone and during the interaction she actually handed me her phone so I could talk to the girl she was on the phone with. Lol I didn't really know what to do so I just went with it and it was actually kinda fun.

The challenge was from someone I'm friends with on another forum. Is it against the rules the link to another forum?

All the challenge is is a 30 day challenge. 30 days to do 100 approaches, which averages out to just 3-4 approaches per day if you keep up on it.

It is fucking AWESOME that you are taking this as seriously as you are. You will get good in NO TIME! Keep it up bro!

Hey Bro. I just signed up because of this post. I'm going to take the challenge. I just got out of a 4 year relationship 2 days ago. And all I have to say is Let's Do This!

Mine will be a combination of day game & club approaches. I have 2 whiteboards, but I will use a spreadsheet for mine. And, I'm vowing to F-close 1% of my approaches, even if I have to approach a HB6. To qualify a HB6 for me, I can't bang a chick that's fat. So, a HB6 to me is a busted face & an average body. Ok I have 30 days to do this. I'm going to start tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I have a no fapping policy in place (yes, I read the thread). So, my horniness will begin to increase dramatically as my balls begin to swell so a fast HB6 may be what the doctor just ordered.

Will post my results.

Haha welcome to the community man! I look forward to seeing your progress!

I'll take the challenge also. was married for 10yrs, split from wife and started dating a hb8 a month later. been dating her for a year and just split with her.
I have good potential, just been so long that i've lost my game. Tired of being an afc and ready too do something about it. Will start today or tomarrow depending on opportunity.

Let's get in there Saintdogg. Today marks Day 1 for me. I'm going out tonight solo. So, don't puss out bud.

If you start to hem & haw. Come back to this thread for motivation! Let's keep each other motivated.

Well it doesn't matter how much success you got... what matters is to go out there and meet your fear... Well before i had zero experience and success with girls...
but once i learn the secret of approaching i.e. eliminating fear and approach confidently, i hardly get rejected...
So well done... congrats...
