what do i wear
does hitting someone's shopping cart really work as an approach
what kills the gut wrenching freeze

wear what you usually wear and i will tell your a secret , it doesn't matter if you read MM , Adam , or other PUA , for your first first month in the field the only thing that matter is approaching as many girls .
don't even waste your time on BS like "what to wear " , the most important thing is losing your AA .
and yes hitting someone shopping cart is a possible opener .
but just going to girl and telling her the first thing that comes to your mind is even better , example " Wow your hair look like my exgf haircut ! , where did you get it " just made opener in 3 sec . that's the best thing you can do , be Creative , make your target and say the first thing that comes to your mind .
you may aswell use MM / fourm routine if your having problem , but understand that this is only "Training wheels "

field report will be totally lame but here goes

Who cares mate. It'l be funny reading at least. And a lot of experience for you!

well it sucked balls. the mere thought of social interaction with people in general has always made me sick to my stomach but i couldn't even approach tonight

okay...well...in that case step 1) try approaching girls who are below your standards. I mean girls you don't actually WANT to fuck. it will be easier to talk to them because you're not even trying to get with them. you will also probably have a tendency to talk down to them slightly since you know you're better looking and could do better.

step 2) start approaching more attractive girls, visualize them as being less attractive than they are, and treat them the EXACT same way.

dude why didn't i think of that shit its genuis i'll totally pick up on that when i try a run through a couple of supper markets
