I agree, everyone feels AA, but you can minimize it, especially if you have some negative associations to women from your past. One technique is using NLP submodalities, where you can visualize women in general (whatever that looks like to you in your imagination), and then change over some parts of how you represent them in your imagination. An example is that you can change the picture so it's less frightening (add some playful or rock music for example), see her/them saying some really attractive things to you that would make you confident, etc. In this way, you'll still deal with some AA, but it will be brought back to its base level, if you've had any other shit added to it by your past.

How in the world does anyone get past AA though. Like ive apporached a few before and its gone well but those were a spur of the moment kind of thing.

How do you progress in the gym?

Repetition, reps, reps, reps

I won't sugar coat it for you:

If you are not willing to get rejected a 1000's and 1000's of times from girls, then Pickup is not for you.

I have approached 10,000+ girls and been rejected off the majority, but I also have been laid from pretty girls, the rewards out weigh the risks.

Entrepeneurs also fail a lot, but they also succeed with persistence, this is universally true for everything in life, money, gym, women, but the best things in life do NOT come easy.

Thanks heaps guys. It just has to be integrated into your personality and submerged into the subconscious that its normal and attractive? Or am i on the wrong path here?

You're on the right path, but making it too technical. It's like when you do martial arts or firearms training, you don't sit there and think about how you're going to pull the slack from the trigger, when you're going to breathe, and how you're going to get sight alignment....you just practice...A LOT.

Same thing here. If you overthink this, you're going to fuck yourself up...have way too many thoughts going at once and be all jammed up and the real part of you that's spontaneous won't be able to do anything. You will not feel like you're ready...and that's totally normal. Remember the first time you learned to backup a car? Did you feel you were ready to do it? Probably not, and it probably felt pretty damn strange the first few times, but after you kept doing it, you began to get the hang of it, got a little more confidence, and it began to feel natural...now, you do it without even thinking about it I would suppose. This is the same thing, you just have to approach women, open them with some line, interact with them in a conversation, and wing it and react as spontaneously as you can. Start with little chunks, and just try to improve 1% every day, this will compound itself and you'll be getting better before you know it. Little things are what make you skillful, not trying to learn everything about pickup before you even go out.

So, bottom line, work on yourself (NLP, affirmations, etc.) and then act as if you are confident, and as if you know what you're doing, and go up to women and start talking to them...it's simple but scary. If you fight your fear though, you'll learn it was all in your own mind the whole time.
