Before you read this journal , it would be better to read my introduction to understand my backstory. Here's the FIRST daygame interaction to date. (im that much of a beginner LOL). I'm so determined to improve , this current BROTHERzone guy cannot stay! I dont wanna change myself through PUA though so I just want to gain confidence, be decisive, feel like a MAN (im 18 yet i dont feel my mental state's shifted at ALL). I want to feel like a guy with ABUNDANCE yet i suffer from oneitis. Most of al i just want to feel CHARISMA. Yet im indecisive and boylike. I want all these changes whilst still being myself. After all , i read some stories of PUA's who basically put on hypothetical masks to get girls...yet deep down inside are still unhappy as they havent changed INTERNALLY.

Interaction -

I came back from abroad to london and i met this SUPER CUTE Swedish girl who appeared WAY out of my league. She looked older (22-25ish) and im 18, she was taller (about 6ft) and im about 5'11 and from her physical looks alone looks like the kind of girl i could only FAP to nevermind aproach and get results. (about a HB9.5)

I was lost and was looking for a specific bus stop to get back home. I see a confused ginger girl with grey deep eyes looking confused as hell reading her map. I began to waver thinking 'is this even inside the realms of my reality to approach her??'. Then she walked towards the crossing next to me , waiting for a green light to cross the road. I began to think logically 'surely it is within social norms to be able to enquire if she's lost too'. I just asked in a friendly manner since it shouldnt be a weird question to ask.

Her face LIT UP and was beginning to tell me her whole story of how she has no bus pass and wanted to walk to 'x' and she came that morning from the sameplace i did! We walked and talked towards that direction as i fed into it saying i came from there too! We find out she got the plane one hour before! I joke she was lost for longer than me! Throughout the whole interaction i just wanted to created some common ground so we could broaden conversation topics. It ended with me finding my bus stop and she finding her way and exchanging phone numbers just before i get on the bus.

KINO

Just a high five upon finding common ground.

IOI'S

She fed into the conversation ALOT .
She played with her hair.
Strong eye contact.

I actually felt like crying after this interaction. My first proper interaction and i get a girl's number who is possibly out of league with MOST males i know! If this is my capacity and i have been caged up till know , was all my stress in this topic not needed? Was i really just a guy with a lot of capacity who's progress was simply stunted? i have been implementing the no fap challenge for a while so this may play some part into this?

Please help me callibrate guys as this is the ONLY reason i'm writing field reports!

Stay tuned for my next field report , i'll promise i'll give my best!

Say hello /ask directions , 3 people a day
FEEl like a man.
Be decisive.
Be confident in my own skin.
Gain abundance and stop oneitis.
n-close. (within this week).
k-close.(within 2 weeks).
f-close(within a month.)

Korean HB7

So today i asked directions with a cute korean hb 7 and pushed the interactions to the limit as i did with Swedish girl. I asked where a certain bus stop was and she replied with the cutest accent. I enquired where she was from and she said she was Korean. I made up a funny story of how i took the bus to the opposite direction till last stop and was lost! She laughed like an animal haha so im glad it worked. I then asked what k-pop groups she liked (attempting to build common ground) and when she said a certain group name i high fived her aggreeing with her , she laughed again! I then asked what she was upto and she said she was going to get some lunch. I hesitated here and i asked to come with since i was hungry but then asked for number after saying it. Felt so stupid for being indecisive. She turned me down kindly and i left with a simple 'no problem'


IOI'S
Laughing a lot

KINO
high five

i guess this interaction messed up because of me , i was indecisive. It is one of my goals to change that , yet i dont know how to take rejection for the meanwhile. It is a learning experience for sure however i still felt so sad.

BlACK GIRL 6

Still saddened by previous interaction i enquire directions to a certain bus stop , to a black Hb 6. This one still seems to be confusing me. She was so damn enthusiastic and kinoing me ALL THE TIME!! Touching my arm at my jokes , patting my shoulder at my story , even offering to take me there! i eject partially cuz i felt sad from previous encounter and partially cuz i started feeling picky and i felt since Swedish girl my standards are ever-increasing. I felt like an idiot afterwards. I had a HUGE window of oppertunity to improve my dating game and possibly k-close and f-close later!!

IOI'S

She kino'd me ALL THE TIME.
She offered to take me to my destination.
She laughed at my jokes alot ( bad and good ones)
EXTREMELY enthuisiastic about helping me.

KINO

None , (dunno if it counts if she did).

i then said a mere hello to a stranger upon reaching bus stop. I was this disapointed about my korean HB and Black HB.

Swedish girl

I called Swedish girl in the evening and we picked up our talk where we left off. I asked if she found her destination and all the fluff talk.She tells me somewhere in the conversation that she's going back to Sweden in a month 10 mins or so later i propose we meet up . She talks me through her schedule and she turns out to be busy with her nanny job all the way through. I suggest she skips one since she's going back to Sweden anyways. She replies she needs the money. I realise there's messed up logistics so i attempt to pull away. She says wait and that she'll organise it if she can. I say bye. She says wait , see you later. I say bye again.

There's something about this girl. She's honest and real nice and caring. If it weren't for logistics something more could possibly come out of this one. I dont know what to do though. I fear i'll get too attached and get my heart broken. She physically has the capacity to be a model (very tall , gorgeous) and has a sweet natured personality. It just seems too good to be true. I fear oneitis is coming.

Today i had college so i didnt have many oppertunities. However i was so sad today i couldnt even pay attention in class . It was one of those days were i pity myself and look back on all my beta mistakes. I must also confess i dont have much social proof at colege too nor do i have any "deep" connections with anyone. Just casual friend/acquantances. I only have a handful of real friends outside of college who i fully trust. I know i need to deepen connections with everyone and stop feeling like a wandering ghost in colege but i dont know how to go about this i confess...

On my way home i wanted to approach a HB 9 i saw and this was the exact conversation we had as i walked past her:

Me-Sorry , excuse me do y-.
Her-Sorry.

She wasn't in a particular rush either. I realised that your mood and energy can directly control your game . She must've noticed the emotional bagagge and cleared away.

Later on , i make strong eye contact with a HB 8 but i flake , my mood was too destroyed to stand a chance.

Btw I feel like I'm just writing a diary here, I need the help and support of the community. There's so much I can improve on, ANY input will be great!

Hey dude!

Some of your goals are a bit vague. If your goals a vague its way more difficult to succeed your goals.
For example you want to feel like a man and you want to feel confident in your own skin etc.

But how are you going to do that?

Maybe you can make your goals SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound. So for example you want to feel confident in your own skin:

Go to the gym 4 times a week, make a food schedule to eat healthy so you get a six pack in 6 months.

You can fill it in the way you want this is just an example. And you can do it for all your goals.

Cheers VincentVega

Hey dude , i agree! I'll specify my goals in my next post coming up! And as for feeling confident in my own skin i meant comfortable being myself. I'm pretty lean thanks to using college gym! i'll be sure to specify and improve my posts from now on.

Day 4

urgh i just typed like a page and when i sent it , it told me to reloggin

however to summarise , here i approached over 30 women with directions game in day 4! I pussy out on instadate with a an Italian HB 9 ( something i will work on for tomorrow - ( stating intentions early on) ) and i pussy out with the intention stating till after after a 15 min conversation ( directions) with a cute HB 7.8 Greek by that time , she was damn frustrated however laughed and walked away. oh and i also had a kick ass body language and posture and got a few looks from them!

I for the most part destroyed AA and am able to approach a woman . Today was such a blur i dint even remember all the HBs as i approached far too many! However i will up it a level tomorrow where i will state my intention confidently at EVERY approach! All in all i had so much fun today and hope tomorrow ! Thank you for reading my blog and stay tuned for the next one!

Sharpening Claws

Day 7

I apologise for not posting last couple of days , had so much work! Rest assured i was still cold approaching! I think the total mark in the last couple days is about a 100 literally. No number closes though , i was opening getting opinions , directions and then ejecting. I had two opertunities today but i stopped.

Btw swedish girl completely flaked me so im moving on from that...

Oh and a cute Black HB 8 i was talking wanted to come out with me but strict father fucked it up , will need to be patient here there's potential!

I have completely eradicated AA at this point , will post detailed approached tomorrow for tomorrow's journal!

doing a good job so far. As vincent said, get clear goals for yourself.
"Feel like a man" - watches porn and faps? or what does it mean for you?

Move to direct approaches
"Hey your cute, what's your name?" is probably my favourite

Goodluck

My goals are updated and will be improved even more! And i get what you mean , let me clarify this. Im 18 years old whilst i have physicaly grown , i still feel i haven't developed into an adult. I still feel like that kid that plays all-nighter video games and talks about childish things and ALWAYS holds back his feelings regarding women to avoid getting hurt. Today is day 8 but i didn't have time to sarge , was doing SPAM related issues ,running errand and applying for jobs , it's the christmas season!

However tommorow is day 9 and a wing from this website wants to sarge together! I should therefore have big post wether he turns up or not as i should have time to sarge regardless! Watch out for that one and thanks for the input bro!

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for a nice big post tomorrow!

Thank

Day 9

Unfortunately my wing couldn't meet me , however i still went sarging. I noticed today (yesterday) that i had a pretty big shell around me and i wasted a good hour hesitating before approaching. However a simple directions game warmed me up and i was good to go! I realized my goals were not S.M.A.R.T enough so here is the updated version that i will be using.

Before i begin , i must say that for the last 2 days , i have had posture problems due to diarrhea issues and throughout the day i felt thirsty , had a hunching body language, dry and needed to diarrhea all at once. I couldn't drink for fear of pissing myself nor were there any shops offering toilets. I was in this state of limbo for 5 hours and it did affect my confidence.

German girl

There was a lost girl (ALWAYS a lost girl with me LOL) who wanted to reach a bus stop ,i inquired if she was lost and she tells me where she wants to go. I give the directions and ask HER where she's from and all. She tells me and i hesitate asking her name and so i don't (feel stupid now) . I instead ask how to get across the road as there is no places to cross. She tells me and after i eject saying i hope she finds it , she say thank you and kudos?? (not said in London often.)

Good body language , leaning in.
Smiling.
Lots of pauses hoping to help me and all.

Analysis

This was definitely in the bag , i realize i have a very hesitant nature , have difficulty stating intentions and am VERY outcome independent. I suppose this is how i used to land myself in the friend zone in the past. Ideas how to overcome this PUAs? Any advice would be deeply appreciated.

Polish girl

I meet a beautiful polish girl next to an open market. It goes something like this-

Me- Hi , i saw you walking past me and i just wanted to say you look gorgeous.
Her- Thank you!!!
Me- I'm *****
Her- I'm ****
Me- Do y-
Shopkeeper-NEXT PLEASE!!!

Analysis

Needless to say i was irritated as hell and she seemed interested but the shopkeeper totally blocked me. She spoke to him and i just left. I felt it'd be needy to stay? Advise on how i could've done this differently guys?

Emo girl

Earlier on i asked an old Indian woman for directions to a bus stop and i come across a Emo girl later on-

Me - Hi do you know where *** is ?
Her-Yes its ****.
ME-nice btw you into Avenged Sevenfolds?
Her- OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!.
Me- Btw i'm-
Indian woman touches me- the bus stop is over there.
Me - Erm , thank you!

So i read somewhere that it takes about a month to rewire our thinking completely. I really hope this is the case as today was seriously the worst in quite a while. There were only two major approaches , the rest was just warmups and in general pussying out ( i seriously need to find a way to get rid of this habit). The first was _

Toothpaste lady (warm approach)

So in the supermarket , a lady was advertising toothpaste for sensitive teeth. She engages me and i drag the small talk as long as possible. I then enquire if she has a sore throat and she tells me her story blabla. I then say i'll try come back later. I was looking for some Vaseline and couldnt find it . Five mins or so i return and ask if she knows where it is. She tells me and i go there. After some browsing i turn around and see her standing there. I seriously melted , her eyes were so goddam beautiful!!!! it had an ocean's blue tint to it and i found myself lost in them for a week seconds. I then realise and quickly ask which is vaseline is good for guys and another small talk session ensues. I then thank her for extending her assistance outside her task. She says no problem and it was nice to see a guy actually talk to her like a human being instead of completely avoiding eye contact and walking away.

Helping me beyond her job ( she doesnt even work in supermarket yet offers to help find the vaseline)
Telling me her personal life
Smiling and laughing a lot
Being thankful i treated her nicely.

Analysis

I know what was missing during this approach as usual...MY BALLS!!! I really need to address this issue of pussying and ejecting so damn much! Problem is i don't know how to go about doing this. It seems i've hit a plateau i don't know how to overcome.

Uni girl

Bear in mind the timeframe between this and toothpaste girl was about 4 hours later. I went home and came back before doing this. This technically classifies as "night game." I enquire directions and she helps blah blah. I explain i have a chafing problem and ask if it looks weird when i walk. She says not at all (formally) i could tell for the first time in awhile i was THIS CLOSE to cracking mid game as i was prepared to just make fun of myself. The girl cuts in after seeing her bus saying she has to go (genuine). I genuinely pushed this as far as i could but it was due to logistics. I could still have improved if i stated my intentions early on though i was intending to after my "chafing" joke.

directions.
smile.
strong eye contact.
ALMOST cracked onto mid game if it weren't for her bus.

Analysis

I think i would've been SATISFIED if i stated my intentions at least , then I really did everything i could.

I think i have a fear of night game...the drinking, the people seem SO different , it seems IMPOSSIBLE to relate to someone in nightgame and it just feels like a different world alltogether...a world im not used to...a world i was sheltered from all my life. I think after the final approach my illness (see Day 9) began to take me over again. I felt severly nauseous and dizzy. I was also sely depressed and frustrated at this point. I have had NO PROGRESS with a woman , EVER and i was 18.

Alot of memories began to circle my thoughts , all the thoughts of regretful decisions , all the girls who confesesd they liked me , however me being TERRIFIED of saying my inner feelings due to YEARS of supressing my feelings had taken its toll. I remember in high school , a girl LITERALLY pole danced using the bus pole in bus infront of me and also confessing to me , yet i still threw it away...I actually had suicidal thoughts today. I just wanted to trash my clothes and let the cold consume me. The worst part of it was i couldnt even think of a SINGLE reason to live. The ony thing that TEMPORARILY gave me a reason to live was that i planned to all-out masterbate when i got home , and i did for 3 hours approx. I guess what im trying to say is , help me guys. I literally havent a clue where to go from here.

Hey dude. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Just relaxe
It looks like you need a plan. The process takes time. You are just 18!
I wish I was 18 and find out about this stuff and worked on myself.

The only thing I can tell is what I did and what worked for me.

I read a lot of books about all kind of subjects related to PUA (STILL DO). And if I didn’t felt like reading I watched a lot of youtube videos about it.
Examples of Youtube videos to check: Simple Pick Up (FUNNY!), Sasha Daygame, Brad Branson etc. And this are just a few examples.
There are 10000000000000 of videos you can watch.

You need to try to create the right inner state mentality. That’s fucking important. It all falls back on your inner state, on how you feel and think. If you don’t start feeling awesome chicks wont get attracted to you. And I know its easier said then done. But putting effort in reading books, watching pua youtube movies, work on your fitness and even like things as reading about fashion will definitely get you there. It just takes a lot of time and effort. But it will change your life.

A few books that are a good read and will help to create the right mind set:

How to influence people by Dale Carnegie, Awaken the giant within by Anthony Robbins, The Game by Neil Strauss, A new earth by Eckhart Tolle, Concise art of seduction by Robert Greene, Never be lied to again by David J Lieberman, The way of the superior man by David Deida and Undercover sex signals by Leil Lowndes.

Join a gym and dig your way into fitness. Find out what kind of food habits are good and how to exercise. Create a killer body (will also take a lot of time, patience needed).
This is the only way you (or plastic surgery but that sucks haha) can change your looks so why wouldn’t you do everything to create a sixpack, get shaped etc.

Don’t put to much pressure on yourself. Go get yourself the information out of books and videos (books are more important imo). In time it will flow into your life step by step. Your doing daygame now. Imo daygame is way harder then nightgame (going to bars/clubs etc). I would recommend you just do nightgame at least 1 time a week. Ofcourse, if you feel like it you can approach in daygame. But don’t make it priority.

See it like you are a small snowball that is rolling from a high mountain. First you are rolling slowly, getting bigger from time to time. Your not very big yet.
And before you know it you are getting bigger and biggier. faster and faster. And last it will all fall together and make sence. You just need to keep going and have discipline.

Cheers VincentVega

Hey man , thanks for the reply man! I actually will do nightgame this week with a friend . I'm actually thinking of joining the gym again and those book look interesting i'll be sure to read them! Your post basically covered all the points! I cant thank you enough for all the resources you gave me .

I realise my sarge post from day 10 was very deppresing , i apolagise for this. The cause for this was as i was being so honest with myself (only way to change) i began to dig so deep and brought EVERYTHING to the surface. I was in denial for so long...Since i had brought them to the surface i really had no clue what to do with them and then my brain went into autopilot mode (**** you brain!!). On the plus side , i atleast i wont become a scarred for life adult a i've discovered the issues and how to deal with them! Here's what went down:

Days 10-13

Hey guys i have decided to take a 3 day break during this time to REALLY callibrate and see where i'm going wrong. I noticed i have approached over 100 girls and yet i only managed ONE number close and that was purely situational (see day 1 swedish girl) and even that close turned into a flake. I realised there are so many ways to play this game wrong and so many ways to play it right. So far it was entirely wrong.

Where i feel i've been going wrong:

1.I feel my compliments (stating intentions) are very canned and not what i truly think. If a girl is sexy/gorgeous (not cute) i ALWAYS call them "cute" without fail even if i dont believe they are. This may be due to watching simple pickup alot but its NOT natural game at all! I didn't even realise since i started off canned / insincere i may aswell have finished off sincere however i probably just conveyed myself as a liar.

From now on i will say EXACTLY what i think about the girl and NOT fear what she has to say.

2. I'm VERY outcome dependant. If i don't number close that beautiful girl i was attempting my mood DOES drop and this only works against me.

From now on ,really focus on inner game stuff , this simply shouldn't be the case!

3. I suffer from oneitis whenever i get ANY form of progress!.

From now on , i will focus on getting into the "abundance mindset" to prevent this.

4. I have a low self esteem and think VERY low of myself , i cant even BEGIN picturing myself with a HB. I also dont consider myself "attractive". This may be due to intense bullying when i was younger. I used to be temporarily mute where a word couldnt come out of my mouth for months . I realise now that this is a defence mechanism against bullying. ( Say nothing =wont be noticed= no bullying.) or (say no bad joke or anything that will be received negatively=no one will make fun of me)

From now on i will improve my social life (i'm meeting some buddies this weekend ) and and my lifestyle ( gym + fashion) and focus on developing my hobbies ( i like combosing music beats and i will keep trying on it).

5. I have NO sexual energy whatsoever. Since I'm a virgin this should be understandable .

From now on i will imagine HB's naked as i look at them to gain "seduction eyes."

6. I'm very "pure minded" and "innocent". What i mean by this is that i struggle to believe that women actually ENJOY sex just as much as men or even more , this may be due to women i know always play hard to get / not acting interested. It could also be to do with me watching ALOT of Disney as a kid where terms such as "true love" come into play. I mentioned in the CHAT that i wanted a girl i could love innocently and no one took it seriously ( albeit them being PUA in the 'abundance mindset' this is very hard for them to understand.

I think abundance mindset + sexual energy may help this. Otherwise i have no clue.

However , stay tuned for day 14 where i will begin sarging again!
