yeah.. thanks chief. that makes a lot of sense. i got sucked in and was so impressed by improvement with women that i ignored the rest of my life.
i'm in the shithole for finances (yes being a PUA can be fucking expensive), i sleep all day and i wake up at 9pm and stay out till noon, i barely eat, and i'm getting physically and mentally tired from almost the same shit. building rapport is draining. i need to reorganize my life.
OMG i even started to play WoW again. taha
Remember the three areas of life espoused by MM: health, wealth and relationships. Fulfillment can only come from becoming accomplished in all three. Right now I only have one missing puzzle piece, but if I felt the other two slipping I would address them first.
Understanding women is a lot like stumbling through a dark house. After a long time you might be able to stumble your way through and get a crude but operating knowledge of the house's layout while maintaining some level of unknown there. Pickup is the light switch. Once you turn it on you're giving up that sense of excitement that comes from your previous lack of knowledge.
The important thing to remember is that the thrill of being with a girl can only be maintained with AFC-like naivety. An AFC might get to enjoy that "magic" of feeling like he's with the girl he was meant for, but it will lead to him becoming supplicative and low value until he ultimately loses the thing that he desired so much.
In order to reap the long term benefits, you have to make short term sacrifices. You've got to embrace the cold, logical part of you that knows that when a girl chooses to be with you, it's only because you flipped those switches and elicited those chemicals in her brain better than some other guy.
edit: Oh, and stop playing WoW. If you're serious about becoming successful and getting your life in order, cancel your account right now. It's a mode of escapism used by quitters. In short doses it's fun but I can tell you right now that for most players it is a form of escapism.
