im just trying to do something david deangelo and other gurus suggest. which is the tiger woods method. tiger is great at driving but crap at getting out of bunkers. so instead of working on his bunker technique. he worked on his drive. im trying to do a similar sort of thing.
I enthusiastically disagree with this method. That's not self-improvement, it's a wild goose chase for an easy way out. Borrowing another sports analogy, this is the difference between going to the gym and getting fit or trying all kinds of diet pills and hoping for the same effect. Bottom line: you're never going to have ripped abs and chiseled biceps unless you put in the work it takes to get them. The same philosophy applies to girls.

because really approaching women seems so so hard for me to do. my aa feels like its never gonna go. i dont knwo what i did but a girl approached me at college yesterday. i was very smooth and cool, she was loving it, i took her out to town at lunch. then, she hits on two of my friends. this kind of shit makes me feel so bad about women i dont want to approach them
It sounds to me like your AA is rooted in a self-image problem, man. Quick: name 5 qualities about yourself that make you a catch any HB would be lucky to have. If you can't name them now, take as much time as you need and work on them. List them out on a piece of paper, then add 5 more things to the list.
Next, use those affirmations to internalize this statement:
1) If any girl is lucky enough to date me, it will be the best thing that ever happened to her.
If you ever start to doubt it, just go back to your list of great things about yourself for a reminder as to why you are such a great guy.
And finally, always remember that no matter what girl you're talking to, no matter how high value she seems to you or how hot she is, she is just one other person. Just because she got lucky in the gene pool doesn't mean she's worth this much concern or worry--and even if she was, guess how much good your worrying is doing? That's right, none whatsoever. To borrow a parlance of the great Kanye West:
"There's a thousand you's, there's only one of me." This is the best attitude to have when approaching women.
(obviously if you want a serious relationship with a girl you're going to have to eventually lose that frame but for the time being, and especially as it applies to AA, I think it would help you a lot)
Let me know if this helps!
