"people get all excited to get laid for the first time and then you realize it fucking sucks." Hahaha so true!
I think it is important to ask yourself, "Why you are doing this in the first place?" I'm at a point now where I'm doing it because it helps every aspect of my life. Getting girls is great, but I like how this "game" helps you become a better person in general, and someone who offers value to the world.
PUASpice, I only go direct now. It's easy, and 99.9% of guys don't do it. Be a man who doesn't give a fuck, and shows his intentions. Looking for an IOI or forcing one before going direct is ridiculous. I like how TD says be unreactive. If you are searching for IOIs, you are being reactive. This concept is so important b/c if you are unreactive, you:
1)don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of you
2)never go out of state
3)have no approach anxiety
4) The list is endless, and being unreactive is at the core of everything PUA offers.
Good Job Pinoy! Keep up the good work, and remember to keep going out. You'll learn 100xs more in a day of going out that by reading a book.
