DAY 70: Planning the coming back on the Game.
I'm not that bad at it!

Welcome to this new chapter which is actually part of a bigger impulse to get organized and better at achieving my goals. In a previous post, I wrote about my U-turn in my strategy. Instead of having a general goal, I'll have now smaller goals and plans related to a general purpose (being a man).

To begin with, I would like to come back a little on what I've achieved and learned from friends in Brazil. Here's my to-do list for this report.

- What did I achieve? A look back on my journey.
- What did I learn from my "natural" friends in Brazil.
- What I learn from my success in Brazil.

____________________________________________________________________

A look back on my journey.
70 days. Let's take a look at the principal milestones I've achieved during these 7 months of "gaming". For those who are just beginning to follow this journal, you should take a look at this. :) (eg Chief?).

CHAPTER 1:
DAY 1:I join the community after a break-up.
DAY 2 to 4: I start approaching, trying to be more social but I have few results. I'm too negative and my ex is haunting me.
DAY 5: First (but ridiculous) number close. I tried the "indirect to direct" approach as suggested but was not confident at all. Got the number though. I send a text, that's all.
DAY 6 and 7 (Christmas): No sarging. I stay home, read material and start thinking about what I really want from this journey.
DAY 8 to 11: Getting back on sarging, first meditation session. I'm approaching, have "okay" interactions but still a lot of approach anxiety but I'm pushing myself. First big rejection, my state did not survive. I'm focus on the attitude: kino, smile, eye-contact... too much mechanical though.
DAY 12 and 13: I start to realize that day game might be too hard to begin with, I'm contacting girl friends to practice my social and game skills. I'm getting better at the push&pull, kino, and DHVing. I'm introducing my friends to other friends... I know it's giving me value to activate social dynamics. I start sarging with a friend, we start challenging ourselves to approach.
DAY 14: I'm seeing an old high school crush and apply what I've learned on her. She ends up criticizing her boyfriend for like one hour while I'm getting her investing in me. I have power.
DAY 15 to 17:
I'm being more and more social. I go to a birthday party with my friend, I don't know anyone but focus on meeting everybody and being social. I meet a gorgeous girl there. I number close her by saying that I'll send the link to my facebook profile. I showed no real sexual interest in her. I found the balls to text her the day after: she pretends to not even remember me.
DAY 18 and 19: I meet with my high school crush again. I focus on being sexual and maintaining the tension. I'm making her nervous. I start to think I'm ready to go back on day game.
DAY 20 and 21: I'm way down in the hole. Day game was a failure and I start having serious family issues that brings me down like never.
DAY 22 and 23: My family issues made me more aggressive. I approach a set of three girls in a bar and spend more than one hour speaking with them.
DAY 24 to 26:I realize negativity and masturbation are burdens. I start thinking about what's going on in my head. I have no balls to go for it and it makes me mad. I make a personal commitment to improve myself. I won't give up.
DAY 27 to 31:I start having social interactions with hired guns and getting more confident about small talks but every time I try to be a PUA and focus on approaching I fail.

CHAPTER 2:
DAY 32:Thanks to kasabi, I start getting organized just before going to Brazil. I have directions, finally.
DAY 33 to 37:I'm going out with a plan now, my game is getting better but I'm still too insecure.
DAY 38:First day in Brazil. I stumbled upon a picture of my ex with her new boyfriend. It made me more aggressive towards my goal. I go out out and number close Little Miss Sunshine (but have no Brazilian number).
DAY 39 to 40: I call her but she had to end up the phone call. I'm struggling trying to get a date with her. I'm not putting enough efforts in it. When she's not flaking, I refuse to meet her
DAY 41:I facebook close a girl in the bus. I'm feeling really good. The interaction was so C&F that other people in the bus were actually having fun thanks to me.
DAY 43:I facebook close a cutie in a cold approach: Miss Sunset. One of my best approaches, I even seed an event.
DAY 44 and 45:I'm having fun in Brazil. I go to a street carnaval, approach 2 girls and number close one.
DAY 47: I go wild. I number close another girl. I'm starting to see it's to easy to be good game. Is something wrong?
DAY 48:I'm starting to make some friends in Brazil. Go out with a Canadian and approach three girls out of the blue.
DAY 49: I discover my ex is now engaged 6 months after leaving me. I relapse and take a break on journaling. I decide to unfriend my ex on Facebook.

CHAPTER 3.

DAY 50: As I did in DAY 32, I take a break to think about my goals.
DAY 52: I approach a law student and number close her.
DAY 53 to 54: I'm getting better in party environment. I do 3 numbers closes but realize I'm sabotaging myself when it comes to get dates. I grab my balls and call the Smiling Artist to ask her out.
DAY 55: I'm out at the museum for a date with Smiling Artist. She came with a guy which turned out to become her boyfriend later. I laughed about it.
DAY 56 to 58: I'm having fun in parties, tried to kiss close two girls. I'm getting close to Princess but I can't figure her out. I spend 3 hours in a date with her without doing anything. I'm getting more balls out of this though and try to kiss close another girl at another party.
DAY 59: New number close: Japanese Architect.
DAY 60: I have tons of numbers but don't have the balls to take actions. I number close Gerontology Girl and ask her out. I ask Japanese Architect on a date but she flaked. I go in a bar and meet U2 fan: number close.
DAY 61: I go on a date with Gerontoly Girl but I realize she's too young for me.
DAY 62: I go to Rio de Janeiro with some friends and have some fun there. I meet some girls but am unable to escalate. I number close one though. I'm feeling down and lose motivation.

CHAPTER 4.
DAY 61 to 62: I go out with friends, have fun, make out with British Girl and close her the next day.
DAY 63: I kiss close German Girl who left his boyfriend even though I'm in a AFC phase.
DAY 64 to 65: I'm out, partying with friends when I meet Brazilian Brunette, I kiss close and number close. I'm in a date with her the day after in a park.
DAY 66 to 67: I try to go deep and analyze what motivates me in general. I don't feel like gaming other girls while I'm in a relationship with Brazilian Brunette.
DAY 68 to 69: I'm back in France. Brazilian Brunette gives me a gift and a letter before leaving. I meet my ex for the first time in more than a year. I'm okay. My state survives to this but I'm disappointed by her attitude. She's totally indifferent and don't show any interest in me even though we've been two years together. Is it normal? Or is this rude? I don't really care anymore. I'm not attracted to her at all anymore. But I thought I could get a good friend out of this, I was wrong.

____________________________________________________________________

Some statistics.
Joining the community: December 18th.
Number closes: 17.
Girls I've asked out: 5 (29% of all my number close).
Kiss close: 3 (2 before even number closing, 1 after).
Full close: 2 (1 ONS, 1 relationship).

Now from the beginning:
Citizenship: French, Spanish, Brazilian, British (International pimp? :p)
Number: 4 girls (3 relationships, 1 ONS)

What I've learned.
- I fail when I try to be a PUA, I succeed when I'm myself and have fun.
- Night Game is easier than Day Game (even without dancing skills).
- An attractive lifestyle and a good social circle is a basic support of any good game.
- I have to be my own guru, find my own method and style.
- Hey... I'm not that bad at it damn! :p
- I need to improve my date ratio.

Coming next.
- What did I learn from my "natural" friends in Brazil.
- What I learn from my success in Brazil.

Image
It was time to take a look back and meditate on what I've achieved.

LET DO THIS!

I'm proud of what you've gone from and where you are now AFCDaniel, maybe you should change your name to KingDaniel or PrinceDaniel or something clear that AFC cuz you know it sets a negative tone meyng. Even though I don't post much here anymore I was there in the beggining cheering you up and I always read your updates all 70 of em and I became a fan of you like how someone's a fan of a sports team. You've grown up a lot and I wish to experience the same growth as yours. What you've gone through is probably what 80% of men are afraid to go through in their lives and you've better yourself. I'm here for the future, of all the fun your going to have I feel like I'm with you, though that sounds weird. Anyways congrats and let the fun begin!

DAY 71: Learning from the success of my friends.
Being dominant, social, and leading?

I've met some really cool people in Brazil. Among them, there was four guys from whom I could learn some stuff about the Game. All of them had success with girls, yet all of them were really different from one each other. Truth is, I've always wondered about my general attitude: am I too nervous? am too serious? What is a good attitude to game? Well here's a small post on this.

____________________________________________________________________

The French Natural.
He was a social leader. He was the one who organized all the parties. He was having fun and opening like crazy. His style was not that good, but he was the first one going for it. He grabbed girls hand, dance with them... he was not shy at all. He was all about having fun and organizing events. He dated several girls and, even though some of them were not that beautiful, I saw him make out with some models. I also saw him getting rejected a lot, but he did not care at all. Sometimes he would say some really stupid jokes... but whatever, he was saying what came through his mind: he's always entertained people around him.

The Italian Emperor.
I wouldn't say he was shy, but he was introverted for sure. I quickly noticed how calm and mysterious he was. HE was in a relationship at the beginning but he left his girlfriend while he was in Brazil. He had a great style and was a model. I've only seen him with top quality women... but he was not in a "pimpin" attitude. He was quite serious actually and only dated a girl at the time. He's the one who would let you lead the conversation and just participate when he's interested. He did not open at all from what I've seen, he let girls come to him.

The Cool Canadian.
He was really social and everybody liked him. He knew how to party but he was not here to game since he had a girlfriend waiting for him in Canada. Yet, some girls loved him. He was funny and was handsome (I feel a bit gay right now :p ). He has been a really good friend and I totally picture him as the nice cool party guy.

The Italian Technolover.
He was (and still is) in a relationship with a cute Brazilian girl. Like the Cool Canadian, he was fun and social. People came naturally to him. He loved to party and I confess I had a lot of fun with him. He was not shy at all and did not hesitate to friendly open people. He smiled a lot. He had a nice style too now that I think about it. Girls came to him a lot.

____________________________________________________________________

Reflections.
Well the first thing is none of them are boring. They're all fun and know how to party (the Italian Emperor a little less maybe). Most of them were really social and entertaining. While the French Natural opened and got rejected a lot, girls came to the three others. Yet, the French got the most girls out of it. He was the only one with dance skills. When it comes to style, only the Italians were really nicely dressed.

I would say I'm closer to the Italian Technolover. I dress well and can be really friendly. I still have some difficulties to have fun has much as I would like but I will definitely work on being more funny and smiling on all circumstances. On another note, I would like to have the balls of the French Natural when it comes to open and get rejected. His dance skills were also really useful. Something I'd like to definitely do is organizing events and improve my social circles. The Italian Emperor really impressed me whit his attitude. He was calm but introverted, yet he drove the girls crazy. I really liked his style also.

What I've learned.
- Being fun is mandatory to succeed in the Game.
- Good social circles are the support of all great Game.
- Finding my personal style of Game is the best way to suceed.
- MORE FUN DAMN IT.

Image
The French Natural was definitely the life of the party most of the time.

Daniel? WTF?

WHERE ARE THE FIELD REPORTS?

Are you going out sarging or you're just overanalyzing your Brazil trip?

Move your ass out of the chair and give me some #-closes... RIGHT NOW!

@TheFuckingItalian.

Haha :p. Be patient, I have a lot of things going on right now, but I'm trying to organize some events to get back on gaming. But I'm not gonna lie, my main focus is to have fun right now. Going out by myself and trying to be a PUA is the best way for me to fail. Let me have some fun, approaching will come soon enough. For now I'm sticking to my plan.

Thanks for posting Italian.

Daniel..

DAY 72: Setting a goal and planning.
Let's get serious.

As I told before, I'm trying to get my life organized now that I'm not a student anymore. Since pick-up is also a lot about improving myself, it goes without saying that the Game helped me a lot in setting goals and planning actions to achieve them. No more useless writing, let's begin.

What I want.
My goal: I want to have had at least one date with a HB8+.
Deadline: October 11th (in 2 months).
This goal doesn't seem really ambitious I know... but remember that I have no proper social circle currently... I have to build everything from scratch.

What I'm missing.
I won't go through the each of my blocking points. I'm going to write about what I should have to achieve this goal and build from what I have right now. Truth is, I feel wiser than ever. I see things clearly. Let's make it short. I think I need 3 things for this small journey: an attractive lifestyle, a passive "attraction" and an active "attraction".

I) Attractive Lifestyle: this is the support of attraction in general, it gives depth and value.
- Personal Lifestyle: my hobbies, interests, culture, job, ...
- Social Circle: my friends and interactions with them.

II) Passive Attraction: this is the support of what I would call an Active Attraction.
- Inner Game: ability to quiet negative thinking, confidence, sexual desire...
- Physical Appearance: style, shape, ...

III) Active Attraction: this is what I need when I take actions.
- Outer Game: day game, night game, opening, closing, asking out...

How to get that.
Here's a first set of actions to improve this 3 areas.

Phase I: Attractive Lifestyle
- Personal Lifestyle:
> Photography: Improving my photography skills, Taking pictures more often, Publishing them on the Internet, Think about creative projects
> Music: Thinking about an instrument I could learn the basics?
> Job:Looking for some offers, Preparing résumé and cover letters, Sending résumé to companies
> Culture: Read Camus' The Stranger
- Social Circle:
> Keeping in touch: Establishing contact with old friends again, Writing down all my friends, Planning to see them.
> Going out: Organize an event with friends at least once a week, Get invited to parties
> Meeting people: Get my friends to introduce me to new people

Phase II: Passive Attraction
- Inner Game:
> Meditation: Meditating twice per week, Focusing on being a passive observer of my thoughts
> Sexual Tension: Picturing myself having sex with the target, Focusing on her lips
> Confidence: Approaching every week (getting experience), Pushing myself, Socially warming up,
- Physical Appearance:
> Style: Thinking about how I can improve my style, Buying accessories
> Body: Working out, Buying another mass gainer?, Getting a tan?

Phase III: Active Attraction
- Outer Game:
> Day Game: Approach at least once per week in Day Game environment, Trying Direct, Trying Indirect...
> Social Game: Meeting new girls, Seeding events...
> Journal: Writing FR, Learning from it, Getting feedbacks...
> Fun: Focus on having fun and being entertaining.

I know this plan lacks of precision but this is just a main guideline. I'll be more precise in my FR when it will be time to focus on outer game for example. Therefore stay tuned.

Image
This plan is a preparation for my game.

Quick Update.

First day of this journey. I've been working on my plan, especially in the attractive lifestyle area. I need to be that busy self-assured man to add depth to my game.

Attractive Lifestyle.
I asked some informations about music classes but it's too expensive for me (at least for now). I'm dropping the idea of learning to play an instrument. Yet, I've downloaded a software to make electronic music. I'll play with it and try to get good. I've also started to read a book I wanted to read in a long time. It's not helping getting a girl, but whatever.

Concerning my Social Circle, I'm organizing an event on Saturday night with some friends. I'm willing to have some fun and meet new people. :) I will try to go out every week with my friends and be entertaining to them. FUN is the damn keyword here.

Passive Attraction.
I've bought more equipment to work out and I'm starting to use it. I'm going to get some information about getting a tan. I'm just gonna check the prices to see if I can afford a session. I've bought some bracelets to improve my style. I'm just waiting for them to arrive (they're coming from L.A).

Concerning the Inner Game, I'll work on the confidence part by approaching this afternoon. I'll start with some indirect approaches and get the conversation flowing. It will be an opportunity to work on my outer game a little too... :)

Coming next.
- I'll start applying for jobs next week.
- I'll organize more events with my friends and focus on having fun.
- Getting a tan?

You don't need music classes to learn an instrument.

just buy a guitar (100$) and a couple of learning books for guitar and practise 30 minutes every day.

I started playing guitar few months ago, and I thought I needed to go to classes.
So I went to 4-5 classes, and basically my teacher did NOTHING but making me do the exercises written on the learning book!

What a waste of money!

So I just quit the lessons and keep practising by myself.
Sure, my learning curve is improving slower now, but still I'm getting good...

I guess I'll need lessons for real when I'll get good enough and I'll want to learn more difficult routines...

@TheFuckingItalian

I was not sure which instrument I wanted to learn. Guitar sounds great so yeah why not buying a cheap one and play around with it. There's enough material on the Internet to learn some basics.

On another note, I've downloaded a software to create some electronic music. I'm liking it but I realize I'm going to need some basics in music. So maybe I'll get a small keyboard to if I really decide to get into it.

Grazie,

Daniel..

Quick Update.

Here's an update about what I've done yesterday and this morning.

Attractive Lifestyle.
I've been playing around with a music software, maybe I'll get an hobby out of it. I've installed the photography softwares in my new computer too. Can't wait to play around with them too. I'll plan a photography session next week.

I confess I'm a bit stuck when it comes to improving my social circle. I've organized an event tonight but two friends already told me they won't come. We're going to be four maximum, me included. How can I even think about picking up women if I can't even plan an event to have fun with friends... I need more friends, new ones... and that's not easy... "hey I'm Daniel, wanna be my friend..." lol. One way would be to get a job and meet new people to get out with so I'll focus on that... but it won't happen in a couple of weeks. I will need time.

Yet, for now, I'm focusing on tonight. I want to have FUN, I want to have FUN like in São Paulo.

Passive Attraction.
I went to the local mall to ask some informations on getting a tan. A few months earlier I would have been too shy to get in there. It's not the case anymore. I went in, walk to the counter and ask this HB9 the informations I wanted. I was not impress at all. I took the time to look at her while she was explaining me stuff. It turns out I would need from 6 to 8 sessions to get a tan. It's not only long, it's also expensive. I'll get more informations in other malls.

I've been working out with 10 extra kilos (bought them recently) but unfortunately I have a tendinitis right now. It's hurting a lot, even now, while I'm typing. I'm seeing the doctor next Tuesday.

Active Attraction.
I've read some material in French. I thought it would be easier for me to game if I read in French... but it was really bad and confusing. Actually I'm going to stop reading material. I have everything I need already. Besides... Outer game is something I want to work on after getting the attractive lifestyle and the passive attraction.

Coming Next.
- Setting goals for tonight.
- Report on tonight.
- Starting to really look for a job.

Let's do this. :D

Image
Sometimes I feel like I have no friends to go out with... How can I show some good time to a girl if I can't even have fun with friends?

DAY 73: going out with friends.
Canceling my event and going out by myself.

Context.
My strategy is simple: focus on building an attractive lifestyle (the kind that allow me to have an happy single life and give depth to my game), then on what I called passive attraction (strong inner game and attractive physical appearance) and finally, I'll focus on improving my outer game. Yet, focusing on building an attractive lifestyle doesn't mean I won't practice some outer game, especially if it's fun to me. But first things first, I've been focusing on improving my social circles by organizing a restaurant yesterday night. We were supposed to be 6, but we were only 4 (including me) in the end.

Goals.
- Have fun: if I want to get better at organizing events, I need to show how fun I can be to my friends.
- Open two sets of strangers: that's something I had difficulties to do in Brazil, I want to get better at it.
- Focus on speaking slowly: speaking quick is an issue I have sometimes, let's fix this.
- [EXTRA] Approach a HB and try a number close: I'm more focusing on building a lifstyle that will later support my game but I'm giving to myself extra points if I manage to approach and number close a HB.

Strategy.
- Have fun: do what I feel to do, laugh, make laugh, joke around... come on I know how to do that!
- Open two sets of strangers: ask something(any good restaurants? directions? what's the song playing? ) and push the interaction further (make a funny comment?, get my friends to joining the conversation)
- [EXTRA] Approach a HB and try a number close: 3 seconds rule, open direct ("you look stunning and I though I should introduce myself to you"), introduce myself, introduce time constraint, get a conversation flowing and number close ("you're nice, how could I contact you to do plan something else")
____________________________________________________________________

Summary: I went out alone in the end since my friends bailed on me. I wanted to sarge a little but I missed the only opportunity.

I wrote these goals yesterday, a few hours before going there. Yet, unfortunately, a friend called me, he was not coming. We were three now: a couple and me. I told my friend that we would be three, hoping that it wouldn't matter, but she preferred to delay it to next week...

I was a bit disappointed but decided to go out to take some pictures. On my way there, I realized I forgot my SD card... so I couldn't even take pictures... Here I was, out with only one thing to do: game. It's actually contrary to one of my rules... going out to sarge and put the PUA hat is the best way to fail. But to be honest, there was not a lot of opportunity, I only saw one interesting girl... and when I was about to go talk to her, I spilled my starbucks chocolate on my sweat. She noticed it... I laughed about it but did not approach in the end...

____________________________________________________________________

On the strategy.
I didn't apply anything...

On the Game.
- Having good social circles is priceless.
- I have to get better at planning events.
- I have to keep on setting goals and planning strategies before going out.
- I should always have a back-up plan.

Questions to move on.
- How to meet new people and extend my circle of friends?

Coming next.
- Going out for a photography session in Paris?

Quick Update.

The following events took place yesterday.

Attractive Lifestyle.
After spending Saturday night by myself, I realized how much I needed an attractive lifestyle. My social circles really need to be improved (and I'm going to focus on that)... but truth is... my personal lifestyle needs to get better too.

That's why I went out yesterday for a photography session in Paris to take some pictures of the Eiffel Tower. I've taken a lot of pictures and kept 33 shots (my goal was to get 5 keepers out of it!). I'm getting better at photography and I have now several albums in Facebook that allow me to DHV... Bitches love photographers :p More seriously, I actually feel very proud of all these pictures. It gives me self confidence. I guess this is why it is so important to get a hobby to strengthen the Inner Game.

Social Interactions.
As I wrote before I feel way less insecure currently. That's a really good signal. I'm not shy anymore, I don't get embarrassed for stupid stuff. Here are three nice interactions I had yesterday.

I was in a fast food on the Champs Elysées, I spilled my coke as I put down my tray on a table. People were watching, I did not give a fuck. I just walked calmly to an employee and explained him what happened. I went back to my sit and started to eat. Some minutes later, a girl came to clean the part of the table flooded with coke. I told her that I was sorry to give her so much work. She said it was nothing. "Does this happen a lot? ... Or is it just me?", she laughed and reassured me: "it happens a lot, don't worry mister". Some months earlier I would have been ashamed of the whole spilling my coke thing. Here I took responsibility and get a new coke for free out of it. She was not HB at all so I did not push the interaction further... maybe I should have.

Later, as I was entering the subway, a cute girl hold a door for me... I looked at her to thank her... and here it was... an amazing smile... I thanked her in French and the in English (since she smiled I supposed she was not French... lol). This is the kind of opportunity I always miss because of my lack of spontaneity. Actions are hence coming to tackle this.

In another Subway station, I noticed some English speaking tourists and asked them if they needed some help. I helped them buying tickets. A few minutes later, a 15/16 yo HB came to me to ask me direction. Soon her family joined us. I helped them again.

Replay.
If I want to work on my spontaneity, the only way of doing so is to be used to every kind of situation. Let's replay my social interactions and push them further to be even better later.

Smiling Girl in the subway:
- "Thank you! Where are you from?" + play on the fact that Parisians are known to be rude.
- "Thanks... Thanks for that smile" (going direct) + introducing myself.
Employee Girl in the fast food:
- "How long have you been working here?" + personal experience (done that too).
- "It gotta be really busy with the tourists here"
- "Is this a summer job?" + "what are you studying?"

What I've learned.
- Taking responsibility ALWAYS pays off.
- Training myself to be direct is a key to be more spontaneous.
- Replaying the interactions afterwards in my journal will make me a social bad ass.

Coming next.
- Starting job search.
- Organizing a new event with friends.
- Going direct (finally!)

Quick Update.

Here's an update on what I've done this week for now.

My road map.
It was not working anymore... too complex so I changed it.. Instead of having a to be/to have/to do section, I'm setting goals for the month, the week. Then I plan actions for the next three days. Each of these goals are primary, secondary or tertiary.

My major goal is still to have had a date with a HB8+ by October 11th.
My goals for the month of August are:
- Get at least one job interview (JOB)
- Do at least 3 photos sessions (PHOTOGRAPHY)
- Create a track (MUSIC)
- Approach directly 5 times (GAME)
Each month and week, I revise my goals. Every day, I plan my action for the next 3 days. These actions must help me achieve my weekly goals. Let's see if it works better.

Attractive Lifestyle.
I've sent my résumé and cover letter for a job offer. They contacted me the very next day to plan an interview at the end of the month. I'm really confident about it but I'll apply to other jobs next week. Concerning the Social Circle part, I've failed in organizing something with my friends... I've spent the week by myself and have nothing planned for the weekend.

Passive Attraction.
I've just received some bracelets I ordered on line... I've stil a tendinitis that prevents me from working out... I went to the doctor but he just told me to rest and drink water. That's not really useful for now.

Coming next.
- Going out for a photo session.
- Approaching.
