Day 8 Challenge - 21/11/2010
Ow my feet. Today I learnt 1 thing and 1 thing only, don't wear thongs (flip-flops if you're American) when doing this. Blistered toes aren't fun.

Aaaanyways, today's challenge was again about state control. Lucas West started off by saying that fear and excitement were actually the same feeling, and so yesterday and the day before, I was actually doing the same thing to myself. Possibly, that's why I found it so hard to get into a bad state on day 6. So today I had to do another 30 approaches last the past couple days, alternating between trying to feel fear and trying to feel excitement.

After a while, the two merge.

To be frank, today was boring. I only had 1 or 2 fun interactions, the rest being pretty much purely the mechanics of asking directions/time.

I didn't really feel like going out today, and my toe was blistered, and it showed that I wasn't fully into this. When your mind and will isn't fully into something, you can never really do it properly.

Onwards to day 9! (and hopefully something fresh)

Day 9 Challenge - 22/11/2010 (part 1)
Well, I asked for something fresh didn't I?

Today, I went down to pick up the coming months rostar for work, and when that was done I went down to the local shopping centre, grabbed something to eat, put in my headphones and listened to day 9.

"Today is more about state control" oh great "However, today you will not do a single approach" huh? Today's task was to avoid all sexual thoughts, from now until the minute I fall asleep. Look at all girls as if she was your sister or your mother, don't sexualise them. Avoid checking them out, no sexual thoughts, so sex and no masturbation. Interesting.

Well, this would be quite an interesting task except for one thing - today's my birthday and I was planning on having a night on the town with a few friends. So here I am, the day I was born, not allowed to have any sexual thoughts.

The rest of the time at the mall was spent realising how often I check out girls, as well as back-and-forth texting with a friend laughing her arse off at my situation Now, do I postpone my day out or do I still go out and spend it as a monk?

I'll keep you guys posted on how the rest of my day goes.

Day 9 Challenge - 22/11/2010 (part 2)
Unfortunately, I didn't end up going out that day, so there was not a huge amount of sexual temptation around for me to fight. Oh well.

Day 10 Challenge - 24/11/2010
Today I had to readopt the previous task's repressed sexuality state, and go and approach. Imagine every girl is your sister or mother as you approach 30 with whatever you want - time, directions, complement etc

This task really needs to be done right after the previous one. Avoid skipping a day at all (I had commitments yesterday so had to postpone this one for today). I felt rusty today, I was letting too many sets go by and as a result the first 15 or so took me around 2 hours - not good.

However, once I had warmed up with the first half, the rest did start coming through easier. To keep myself in a nonsexual state, when I approached with things other than the time, I tended to mention my (non-existant) girlfriend. I did this because even though you gain preselection value, it's a disqualifier, especially if she had no resistance up at all to warrant it.

The good interactions happened when I made random comments to girls, or paid random complements. It's slower to "rack up the numbers" but you have geniune interactions, rather than just finding out the time over and over again. A few that stuck out in my head:
- Walking by some empty store and I see the girl at the cash register has a headband with a flower on it. I walk in, say something like "Hey I was just walking by and saw you're flower in the window. It's really cool." (geniune) Took her a moment to realise I meant the flower in her hair and we had a short chat before I went off.
- Went to Toys R Us and there was a girl working there who stacking some stuff on the shelf who really looked like she wished she was somewhere else. I think I said "You look really bored." she says something like "It's not extremely entertaining." I reply "You'd think it would just be playing with toys all day, but I guess not." Broke the monotony of her day a little
- Walked by some hair salon and there was a girl at the counter with awesome cornrows, I think I said to her something like "You probably have to since you work in a hair shop, but you've got really cool hair." She smiled and thanksed, and I continued on.

Socialising with strangers just to do it, I think AFC Adam teaches that, if I'm not mistaken. Anyways, now I need to spend the rest of my day still desexualised, being a monk sucks

Day 11 Challenge - 25/11/2010
Today was a bit of a fail. I drove like 20 mins to a shopping centre and listened to the Day 11 track. All of today's task was journal work, no approaches. Perhaps I should start listening to these before I leave the house.

Oh well, I won't bore you with the details of the journal work, but hoping for some more approaches soon

Day 12 Challenge - 26/11/2010
Today was interesting. Another approachless day (this time I listened to the track BEFORE I left the house... score! ) I had to readopt this sexless state, but put myself in a place specifically designed to arouse me.

Bring on the hot, 30 minute lesbian porno... Fuck.

Basically, I spent the time trying to observe shit about the background and trying to figure out what direction the light was coming from, while two lesbians fucked the shit out of each other. All the while I tried (quite unsuccessfully) not to get wood. I did manage to lose it about 15 mins in though *whistle* So yeah not very successful.

Again, had to continue not being a sexual being for the rest of the day. It was friday night so I went out with a few friends and we got a little sloppy. Naturally, I started telling them all about this program, as we chatted about the coming roadtrip. Revealing shit is great, isn't it?

So anyway, the rest of that night I was a loud, happy, social guy - who just happened to not be thinking about sex Combination of DC, alcohol, being out with friends, the summer break, friday night, and knowing the coming roadtrip would be fantastic meant good vibes were everywhere.

Day 13 Challenge 29/11/2010
I now know I won't have time to finish DC before the trip, after being far too constantly busy on the weekend to be able to do the tasks. Being the summer break - everyone assumes you're free and thus you are no longer free

So today's task? Readopt sexually repressed state, and complement 30 women. If you get sexual thoughts during the process, you can aknowledge them before repressing them.

Today was my first unsuccessful day.

I had about a 2 and a half hour window to approach today. I complemented 13 women only, not even half way. Partially rusty due to days of no approaches, I found myself not approaching women who were with partners or parents, this left the pickings pretty slim. I was waiting far too long between approaches and to top it all off, I went to a shopping centre that I had never been to before. Turns out this centre has a severe shortage of hotties, meaning that every time I didn't approach, it had a more drastic effect than at the other places I'd done. A poor mix.

All today's interations were positive, but I couldn't get myself to do more than just "hit and run" approaches, where you make a comment, get your response, smile and leave. Whether or not it is part of the task, I feel like I should begin engaging in more proper conversations rather than just one-liners.

Tomorow I will repeat this task somewhere else.

Day 13 Challenge - 30/11/2010
I found myself occupied all day, until I was at home at around 5pm with nothing left to do. I was nearly not going to go out but then said "no, fuck that" and left the house.

I decided to hit up the city since it was evening time and all shopping centres would be either closed or closing, stupid no night-life having country I happened to see some guys from back in highschool at the train so the chatting got me in a decently social mood, ready to get approaching. Getting out of the station, I remember complementing some girl on something, I have no clue what it was though or who she was. Seeing as today I did my 300th approach, all the approaches I do seem to merge together now.

I decided to go down to the very touristy Darling Harbour, a pretty spot with tonnes of people. Perfect. I wanted to complement this French girl who was on the phone about her confident walk, but she just kept talking on the phone, so I said fuck that and went and talked to some others. Complimented a girl with her boyfriend on a cute hat she was wearing, and gave another girl, who was sitting down eating, a little shock when I broke her out of her little world and complemented her on her layered hair

Also met a couple who were in very out-there clothes. The girl was in a mint-green dress with big white dots and the guy in suspenders and a colourful shirt. I said something like "Hey guys, awesome outfits." / "Thanks" *girl gets on phone* / "What is it a party or something?" / "Yeah 80s prom themed christmas party, hopefully we're not the most out there dressed ones there." / "Hey don't worry bro, you guys look awesome."

Conversations is what I've been aiming for, rather than hit-and-runs like I've been doing, and I'm starting to do it.

Another fun one, couple Asian girls on Darling Harbour (probs tourists). One of them is in this reeeeeally loud bright-green jumper. I'm like "Oh wow, I was walking from all the way over there and all I can see is your jumper." / "Oh no (or something similar." / "Haha don't worry it's actually really cool." / *laughs* / "You must be the kind of person who always wants the attention on herself" can't remember what happened after but left after a few more words, all happy and friendly

Somewhat unrelated to the challenge, I would say that after all this random approaching, my sticking point is transitioning into a conversation. I'm going to try to drag out interactions into convos in the last few days before I piss off on this trip with my mates

So when do you start to "pick up" women?

ffwf: Thank you for posting this. I've been following your log for a couple of weeks now. I'm a newbie with major AA issues, and I am hoping to do the DC.

A few days ago you skipped writing about a journal exercise. I'd be interested in hearing what the exercise was because I want to do DC based on your log, but don't want to shell out the money for the program.

Thanks! And keep it up!

Tomorow morning I leave on this trip. I know that the portion of DC that I completed in time has improved me, however I have unfortunately been unable to complete it to this point.

Hopefully I can do DC again some time and finish it - 21 days is a huge amount to commit, although it doesnt seem to be when you first take it on.

Still though, I highly recommend trying DC out. I don't even know what happens past day 13 and I can say that it's worthwhile doing it. I hope to continue practicing and developing my skills during this coming week away, and hopefully I'll bring back a couple FRs

It doesn't happen overnight. What he's doing is great- he's slowly building up his confidence with woman, and if he sticks to his challenges there's no doubt that he'll be able to begin incorporating "PUA" techniques into his day to day interactions. This constant daily self-feedback is excellent. Keep us posted!
