Hey what's up guys? At this moment i'm sitting in my dorm room and everyone is done with with their classes so it's time to "decide what to do tonight". Invited to a bar with a few girls but she said "i probably wouldn't like it because i'm not 21 so i can't drink and don't seem like i like dancing". DLV because i have no experience dancing/grinding b/c i've always refused to do it....kind of stupid but non the less...tapping my foot to some jimi hendrix is enough for me.

Go sit in a dorm room and just bullshit back and forth...MJ or alcohol will probably be introduced at some point.

Drop acid...but actually wouldn't do it tonight because everyone did it last night and no way i'd want to trip solo.

Or what i feel like doing most of all...walk to the library with one of my many books on psychology/sociology and read...maybe hop on a computer ...read stuff and print out information i think is interesting.

On one hand...i will be IN the social environment..with people...even if sitting in a dorm room isn't exciting...it still involves other people therefore giving me a chance to practice my conversational skills. Something fun/unexpected may even happen which would be a good story...but if it doesn't...all i have is "chilled in my friends room".

Part of me wants to atleast just be around one person and interact because 1. i enjoy it...2. practice at good conversation.

Part of me also...wants to learn shit. Maybe part of it is my ego because i love how someone may have an abstract thought/less main stream subject matter...but i'm capable of relating to them and add to the conversation. Something is talked about in class...and i know all about it....etc. And just basically reading the thoughts of extremely smart people hopefully adding to my own intelligence and outlook at this world.

Basically...i can imagine myself living in the woods in isolation just reading and thinking about thoughts of man....but i also love to go to a packed party.

It SEEMS the PUA philosophy is to always have shit to do with people so you have stories and what not to show your traits..or simply that you have friends. If i were to say " i stayed home and read about psychology" it doesn't come across "wow what a fun guy!" ...maybe if they were also a buff in whatever subject ..but to girls who think reading is a waste of time....you're gonna be seen as boring.

It's obvious there's plenty of intellectually ambitious people(that's why we are all here trying to learn)....but anyway...how do you deal with this conflict? I don't mean choosing between reading stuff on PUA or go out and PU...b/c obviously being out there is better. I'm talking about basically any other topic haha. Thanks for reading

I feel the same way you do quite often actually.

I usually do whatever i feel like doing the most at the time. If i did end up chillin at the library, and someone asks i'll USUALLY respond one of two ways

either "irrelevent but...<insert story here>"

or "i read a book on <insert topic> and then <insert story related to topic>"

in either case, my story will DHV me. and depending on who i'm around will determine which one i use. if its the kind of people who assume that "irrelevent" actually means "i was with this chick and we had wild freaky sex all night long" then so be it. And some people can actually respect the fact that I enjoy learning and reading.

assumptions are your friend if you can play them right. however they could come to bite you in the ass if you're not careful.
