I can't really go out all too often at the moment due to money and exams, and I can't go to any bootcamps/seminars for the same reason.

What would any of you recommend as the best way to improve noticeably with gaming? (i.e. tips, especially good books etc.)

Thanks

Open every single set you come across and stop looking for a fast lane...

Same as what Ezo said...theres no easy way. Im in the same boat as you where I cant go out often because of my schedule and other interests. However, I give myself 1 night a week to go out and practice. Plus I practice day game whenever I can at work. If you cant go out at all during night, then just open as many sets as you can during the day.

Luxuria,

I love how motivated you are to get good at this! That motivation will probably be your biggest asset in getting better at game.


However, I would say the best way to noticeably improve your game is to examine what you want and get good at having that.

On my journey, I realized that I didn't actually want to get good at pickup. I just wanted to have an awesome girlfriend. It thought that what would get me that was great game, but really what helped was looking at myself and turning myself into a man that I found attractive and who I was proud to be. The girlfriend came as a result of that.... and surprisingly my game (everything else in my life) dramatically improved.

If you could imagine yourself 6 months in the future, being the man that you want to be who attracts the kinds of women you want to have, what are the key attributes that man possesses that the current version of you does not possess? What small, actionable, daily things can you do to move yourself closer to being that man?

The tips given by Ezo are actually those for whom are socially retarted, if you're follow them like those are your balls!

But if you don't have problems approaching girls and/or being rejected;
You would need to spent time on your inner game, outer game will follow after this.

PS: Ezo is right about the fact you don't want to be on the fastlane because good change takes longer.

I think the use of the word retarded is a bit strong here. Seriously, most of the newbies need this shit.


The way you speak about inner game shows me that you have a long way to go before understanding what inner game is. Correct me if I am wrong (and prove me right) but you seem to think that inner game is about confidence and believeing that you are the shit. Also the ones that dont know what inner game is are the ones who fights to protect it.

The man wanted to know how to improve fast. Working your inner game takes time. Practicing also takes time but the amount of time you need in order to see results is less.
Plus, I dont think that he has any idea of how to work his inner game. He just started and that is the most difficult thing you can do.

Anyway, telling people that they are retarded isnt a good way to motivate them.

Practice is excellent, even for the more experienced PUAs.

Ezo is completely correct. Take it from someone who's already been a book-reader and not a "book-doer"....read all the books you want, but you will make no progress without actually going out (day or night) and practicing what you've learned. I'm guilty of this sin, so learn from my mistake.

Go to the top of the "General Questions" forum and find "The Newbie Mission". Read it, do it, and report back. After that, I'd recommend "The StyleLife Challenge", which is a 30-day bootcamp mission book that looks like a winner. I'm still in AFC-land, so I can't really recommend anything beyond that without looking like a hypocrite. Maybe some of the pros here can help you out after that.

EVERY GIRL(S) THAT COME YOUR WAY ARE SETS.....OPEN THEM!!!!

at school,work,clubs,local park,mall.....ANYWHERE!!!

WESLEY,cut the "social retards" some slack,at least they're making an effort in trying to be more social.

You guys are absolutely right - practice. That's all it takes. Go for it as if you've got nothing to lose - which it true. Approach anxiety be damned, dive right into your first couple of sets with no expectations of success. You'll be amazed how your anxiety will diminish & how much easier the sets following the blow-outs (if you even get blown out!) will feel.

Happy hunting.

Read stuff that interests you. No excuses for not reading and becoming sharp when you game.
