Hi,

I am new to the PUA world, never heard of it until my friend passed the The Game bible on to me. Just recently I have been having major success in Las Vegas picking up girls but it was more due to drugs, mainly Ecstasy.

My main flaw is Approach Anxiety when hitting up on girls. But when I am on Ecstasy, the AA disappears and getting girls is like 2nd nature. I am currently trying to calm my AA down and be able to approach girls being sober, but have been unsuccessful due to my emotions and thought process

Does anybody else have this problem?

None here. I'll game a girl in front of me in the starbucks drive thru at 7am by yelling out my window.

This past weekend I have had the most success in months. I also happen to be the most F**ck up too. That being said I know the game won't get me what I want if I only have luck when I am fucked up. having the confidence to approach any girl at any time is the goal I have and by limiting myself to only approach when I'm "turnt" will hurt me.

AA is still something I am very much experiencing. I read one of style's recommended book "mastering your hidden self" a little before going out and that is where i contribute most of my success to this weekend. Drugs and alcohol in the long run will only lead to failure. Be weary cause there is a fine line between recreational use and abuse....

Thank you for the recommendation on the book "mastering your hidden self".

This is an old tip but one I find very effective. Minimise your time from seeing the girl to speaking to her, wherever you are and whether you are sober/high or not. Mystery suggested a 3 second time limit in which you must force yourself to open. This time limit prevents a cascade of thoughts and reasons why approaching would be a bad idea.

People tend to regret what they didn't do, rather than what they did do; this is true for approaching girls too.

If you get rejected, so what? You've not lost anything and you had the balls to go talk to her, kudos.
If you get a positive response, great!
If you do NOTHING you'll get NOTHING, and feel lousy after. So just go for it, what's the worst that'll happen?

Very nice tip, this is what I have read in "The Game" and it does have a very good meaning behind using the 3 second rule. Thank you.

I know the feeling buddy. I feel like I'm a pretty awesome guy but an awesome guy who gets unbelievably nervous around new people and situations. I'd find myself sick with nerves before nights out and in 7 years of going out at the weekend that nervousness never went away no matter what I did. I found Ecstasy calmed my nerves and allowed me to be myself, which got great results in my love life.
I'd say that the 3 years I was doing it was the best years of my life. It can become a bit of a crutch though and a night out without Ecstasy becomes a dull, nerve-racking experience.
I guess like Poker, doing Ecstasy you have to know when to leave the table. Stay too long at the table and eventually it catches up with you and has detrimental effects on your health.
If I had my time again in that situation I'd do it again but get out at the height of the good times.
I also had a rule back in the day of only doing one pill in a night so that I wouldn't become one of those sweaty, teeth grinding unattractive blokes.

My advice would be, if you are in this game for the long term and want lasting results do as the guys say on here and read the books and do the hypnosis CD's, build up your confidence. If you're just passing through the game and here for a good time, just do it

In short drugs and beer are just a quick fix, plastering over the cracks of a deeper problem.
