| Post subject: | Following the Roosh Program |
Starting "The Roosh Program" The Roosh program is a program made for men to better their lifestyle and attract girls. The program in its entirety can be found here. http://www.rooshv.com/the-roosh-program If you don’t already follow Roosh, I heavily recommend reading a few of his posts. I will not be following the program in its entirety, but I will for the most part be following it as closely as possible. Here is the program as it pertains to what I’ll be doing. 1. Start a workout routine. I got lucky with this one. I have been doing bodyweight exercises for the last 2 years, six times a week, religiously. My workout consists of pushups, pull-ups, chin-ups, and bicycle crunches. For the first year I was also running a 5k every morning, but I’ve slacked off on that. However, since I’m starting this program, I picked up a copy of convict conditioning and read through each exercise. As of two weeks ago, I added one-legged squats, one-legged calf raises, towel-grip pull-ups, and squat jumps to my weekly routine. I also got a gym membership which comes with pool access, so I will be swimming as well, and trying to add free-weight workouts when I can get to the gym. 2. Get your hands on a game resource. In terms of theory, I have read multiple books. I started with “The Game” and then moved on to “The Mystery Method” before taking a few years without reading any pickup material. About two years ago, I read “Bang” and then “Day Bang” by Roosh. I have also read “Layguide” and “The Art of Seduction” (I didn’t finish Layguide, just read the beginning). I also regularly follow Roosh, Danger and Play, The Rawness, The G Manifesto, The University of Man, Krauser, and multiple other blogs in the Manosphere that are too numerous to name. My problem has never been theory, it’s always been putting that theory into practice. Hopefully this program will change that. 3. Do 100 approaches. Here’s the hard part. I am a social recluse. I have social anxiety like crazy. I will do the approaches and post the conversations here to the best of my ability. Since I rarely go out at night, I will be doing day game approaches. Roosh recommends 10-20 per week, which is going to be extremely hard for me because it takes me a long time to make myself do 1, so I will see how it goes and hopefully work my way up to that number. 4. Watch one episode of Seinfeld a day. I have seen tons of Seinfeld episodes in my time, and I definitely love the show, but this is the part of the program I most likely won’t be able to do. I definitely see the value in it, and I will download the series and try to watch episodes when I can, but this won’t be my priority. 5. Limit masturbation to only one day a week. As of two weeks ago, I just stopped completely. I have read numerous websites that claim that watching porn and masturbating too frequently can fuck up your sex drive, lower your confidence, make you less likely to take the initiative to talk to girls, etc. If I do it at all, it will be once every two weeks or so, and never to porn. I’m cutting off porn entirely. 6. Write down notes and observations in a dedicated player notebook. I will be posting notes on each approach here, underneath the conversations for each one. 7. Read one new book every two weeks. I’ve lucked out on this one too. I am an avid reader. I’ve read literally hundreds of books and I usually read 2 or 3 books per month. My favorite authors are Palahniuk, Vonnegut, and Heller. I read fiction mostly, but I have also read tons of books on Philosophy, Behavioral Economics, and Evolutionary Psychology. This is one that will also be incredibly easy for me to accomplish, because I’ve been doing it for seven years now. 8. After your 100 approaches, take two weeks off to reflect. Once I have finished the approaches, I will write a summary of what I’ve learned here. 9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 while still working out. Looking forward to it. |

| Post subject: | Approach 1 |
Approach 1 Location - Swimming pool Target - Lifeguard Me - “You look like you’re having fun” Her - (shakes head no, smiles) Me - “I’m betting the lap pool is the easiest part of your job” Her - “It’s all easy” Me - “I’ll bet. I went to the water park last week and I felt sorry for the lifeguards trying to keep up with the wave pool. There were like 200 kids in there” Her - (says something back but I couldn’t hear it over the noise, smiles) Me - “Have you ever had to jump in and save someone’s life?” Her - “Nope” Me - “How long have you worked here?” Her - “two weeks” Me - “That would explain it then” Then I went back to swimming laps. After a couple of minutes she left and some guy lifeguard took her place. Notes - She was really responsive in body language. I should have kept the conversation going. My follow up line could have been something like “Oh so you’re a rookie?? I don’t feel safe anymore. Are you even trained in CPR?”. Lesson - Don’t eject so quickly |

| Post subject: | Approach 2 |
Approach 2 Location – Swimming Pool Target – Staff Member Me – “You look like you’re having fun” Her – (doesn’t say anything, doesn’t smile, just stares at me. I immediately panic) Me – “Hey so is the highdive open to anybody? Can I go up there?” Her – “No it’s only open to diving teams, but once they’re through they will open up the low dives to the public” Me – “Oh. That’s lame. Hey how long is this pool?” Her – “Umm… I don’t know but I think it’s twenty five meters” Me – “Oh ok. Well thanks.” Notes – This was an absolutely pathetic approach. I made eye contact several times before actually approaching, I kept averting my eyes when I was talking to her, and I ejected way too fast. It’s funny how all the theory in the world can completely vanish when you’re actually in the moment. Also, I told myself I would make four approaches today and I haven’t. I passed over multiple opportunities to approach both at the gym and at the pool. I didn’t realize how hard it would be for me to go talk to girls out of the blue, but it has been. Lesson – Once you make eye contact, immediately do the approach. Don’t eject so quickly. |
