Can't wait to get back into the real world so I can REALLY start improving! But right now I work on a cruise ship that has a limited number of women and opportunities. You have to be a little more careful when gaming women you work with. I know peoples say don't s*** where you eat, but hey I have to learn somehow. Quite interesting though seeing as how most of what I have learned so far are warm approaches, getting back on land is going go be interesting. Any way my big question is, what do you do when you are not on top of your game and social interactions are almost unavoidable? Mitch Hedberg was right, it's like walking a F****** tight rope! Once you are funny and cocky and ball busting you CAN'T let it down. When people expect you to be cocky funny and ball busting and you aren't it's worse than just not being it in the first place, because they start taking shots at you and quite frankly sometimes I'm just too tired to bother. Sometimes I can only keep up the banter for a few minutes other times for hours. But when it runs out it's like I just want to get away before any body notices. It's like a sprint race. My goal someday is to just be this person. But every time I stop studying for a few days. I sink back into the old boring me that is blind and dumb in the sexual communication realm.

I know there really isn't a solid question here. But any wisdom would help. Thanks guys!

I think the important thing here is for you or anyone to not seek approval from others. Why do you need their validation? You need to have your own inner validation and not be outcome dependent on people's responses. If you feel like you are trying to impress them and you react to their response then you need to stop it.

I think the best thing to do is when you go away get into a talkative state, get warmed up, just have some normal chit chat with random people before you start gaming girls. You're thinking about it in terms of success and failure. Like if you don't meet their expectations of you as a cocky funny guy that you have failed and so you lower your own value, feel bad about yourself and put out a negative vibe.

Whatever vibe you put out is what you'll get back. Remember that. Don't care about the outcome of social interactions. Be positive, if you can't keep up the C&F, no big deal, be unaffected. Next time, you'll do it, you'll go the extra distance, you'll go home and think up some new material to assist you. It's like when I trained to run the HK marathon, I didn't start out running 26 miles each training session, I started out small and gradually increased my distance, each time was considered a success.

That's my 2 cents, there is more I would like to add and I have a few links for you, so if you're interested get back in touch.
