I don't know, could have just been some dude who thought he was so good at PUA that the show was beneath him. It's very disconcerting that the show even exists to be honest, because I saw the "hey pick a number between 1 and 4" line used on there, and that means any girl whose seen that show knows about that, and that sounded like one I could actually use while still sounding like myself. Many of the lines I read in "The Game" made me think "okay that might work, but I'd feel like a hell of a scrote saying something like that..."
Nevertheless I guess it wasn't that popular of a show, and it's not like I've never been shot down before. The thing that worries me about getting shot down for using a canned line like that is the phenomenon called pre-selection. If one girl decides I'm obviously trying (poorly) to game her, she's likely to tell her friends then I'm a little more screwed, but escaping this village when it finally happens ought to help tremendously with that because around here everybody knows each other, and if you fart inappropriately, a rumor will get started that you've committed sodomy...
Pre-selection is also working against me in the village in which I currently reside, that's why I'm working so hard to get out of here. Growing up I wasn't raised by either parent, and the only person who cared enough about me to teach me stuff about living was, well... incredibly old. For this reason I felt as though I was socially underdeveloped for a huge part of my life, and I've been trying so hard to play catch up.
As for the show, I'm seeing the value in it, if nothing else it's an inspiration to see these guys (who were obviously a lot worse off than even I am) improve bit by bit. It's also nice to kinda try to get to know Mystery and his dudes a little bit. It's like subtle lessons in how to act like an alpha dog. I'm about to watch episode three as I type this. Poor Spoon. It looked like he had so much potential! I wish I was qualified to make a living helping guys like them, it would be such fulfilling work because I can empathize with their situation.
I really do hope Mystery is still conducting his little training sessions by the time I can finally afford to attend one. I want to go so bad.
As for the sadistic thing, I think any guy whose been in my position can relate to having feelings like that. I can't say that if I ever get decent at this there won't be some karmic retribution rendered to some certain hot babes. It's offensive that women just can't be attracted to the person we are naturally, and that we have to analyze and practice a certain methodology that comes naturally to a small percentage of guys just to be on a date-able level. Reading about you gaming a blowjob out of that chick, and encouraging your friend to break that other chicks heart made me feel a little better
As for seizing the moment and actually taking that kiss close when the chance happens, I don't think I'll have a problem with that. It's just sensing when the moments right that I might struggle with. The other night I kiss closed a fatty that I wasn't even interested, just to practice getting over the butterflies. She still texts me even though I told her I only wanna be friends (before kissing her). I plan to do quite a bit more of that shit (only hopefully with better looking women, lol).
Express.com is now bookmarked, btw.
I like the logic in giving out your number. It's like forcing an IOI if they have to be the one to call or text you. One time (long before I discovered the PUA community) I walked up to an 8 who was working in a wal-mart gas station and said "Hi, I know this is completely random and hope it's not inappropriate, but you're beautiful and I was wondering if you have a boyfriend, and if not if I could have the privilege of buying you dinner sometime." It worked! But the chick didn't feel safe enough to give me her number, she wanted to be the one to get ahold of me first. It turned out that this girl actually did have a boyfriend, but she didn't tell me that until I had done blown my chance by not knowing how to properly follow through on the foot in the door I had been given. Ended up kiss closing her a couple times though before getting shot down. It was the farthest I've ever made it with anything above a 6.
I can relate to how you feel about talking on the phone too. I fucking hate just sitting there, forcing all my attention into one direction while my phone turns into an oven over the course of several hours, and it feels like my arm is about to fall off. If you want to talk that much just come fucking hang out with me so I can f-close you! I do text like a fiend too though.
I actually think I was (miraculously) able to figure out somehow on my own how to stay out of the friend zone after establishing attraction and comfort through just plain getting lucky and having the right circumstances fall into place. I then verified this in the Mystery Method handbook. This lesson was taught to me by an HB7 I was really into in high school, with whom I had established both attraction and comfort, but failed to seduce. I will never make that mistake again. Having dedicated myself to not allowing that to happen again, I can safely say I'm not bad at the actual seduction, my work just needs to happen in the attraction and comfort building stages.
I wish there were other situations that I was working on, but when it comes my good old village, the problem is simply a lack of diversity, combined with having already gotten stuck on the ass end of pre-selection. I'm trying to make some friends in the medium sized town down the road, and it's working, but it's slow in coming (as building friendships can often be). As far as pointers go I'm just working my way slowly through the Mystery method at the moment (on page 63, I could have read it all by now but I'm intentionally going very slow so I can properly absorb the information, and take notes). I'm sure I will be needing clarification on something soon enough but I don't really have anything to ask about at the moment.
I'm intrigued by the concept NLP. I think I'm going to work through some of Ross Jefferies stuff after I finish Mystery's shit, if there's anything to it. If I could both implement the Mystery Methodology while at the same time literally HYPNOTIZING chicks I'd become an unstoppable force to be reckoned with! It's nice to dream.
Ever looked into any of that? What's your take on NLP?
