| Your advice has been indispensable to me, poeticlyskuac - thanks so much.
I'm new to the scene so I have been trying the entire universe of pickup philosophies, trying to find which work for me (and which do not). I borrowed elements from all over: buying flashy bracelets to peacock, projecting sexual images into girls' minds, throwing cocky/funny statements, etc.
But I realized that I was trying to build a house without a foundation. I needed to improve my inner game first. How could I use opinion openers if my voice squeaked or my feet shuffled in the process? How could I make girls laugh if I didn't even believe that my own jokes were funny? How could I expect girls to want me if I couldn't even look into their eyes or touch them?
I needed a mentality, an outlook, or a vibe - all completely independent of any techniques or routines. I needed what the naturals always had, what learned-PUAs envied for and spent years of field-testing to match. I needed "natural game." And if I could learn it, I wouldn't need any routines or canned material; I could create my own on the spot, adapting to any situation.
So I read over what you and Stormz wrote, meditated on it a lot, and gave it a try. No routines, no techniques, no canned material, nothing except for a big confident smile and a charismatic upbeat mood. I thought of everything that I was proud of, every achievement in my life, everything that made me feel like I was at the top of the world, and focused on that "alpha" mentality everyday that I was out and about.
I've tried this for only one week. And results?
1 - Today, I went to the barber shop with the most fucking alpha posture and smile ever. It was a walk-in shop with no appointments. So anyone who had come in before me had to get their cut first before me. There were 3 guys ahead of me. All of them looked tired, grumpy, or otherwise beta, sitting humpback and legs closed as if they weren't wearing pants. I sat down with legs open, like I was important. I kept my chin up and smiled at the owner. And he stared at me for a second, and said, "Sir, you're first...go ahead" and motioned at me to go sit down for my haircut.
2 - Last week, I approached a cute girl (probably a 7 or an eight) sitting alone at McDonalds by simply going up to her and saying with a confident/upbeat smile, "Hey, I thought that you're really cute so I just had to stop to say hi, or I'd never get to meet you." She stared at me, completely shocked. She didn't know what to do for a second; she was frozen. It seemed like she was going to slap me in the face but instead, she smiled and giggled. I was in. Twenty minutes of talk later, I get her number and she told me that I completely made her day. First direct approach I did and it worked.
Now I believe in the power of inner game and being confident. And I think any guy can do it.
I want to thank you and other naturals whom I have taken inspiration from for making such drastic improvement in my life in such short time. The next year of my life should be interesting...
