Hi,

3 months ago I decided to make a commitment to getting my sex life and sexual confidence handled. I decided pretty quickly that I was more attracted to the 'natural' styles. I also learned that 'Inner Game' was going to become the main focus of this journey for me.

I have watched a lot of infield videos and I think these are great; they give you a real sense of how a fun, playful, flirty conversation with a woman should go; they also inspire you because they make it look fun and achievable. I have inundated my mind with confidence products: I listen to pickup/confidence audios on a playlist every night from bedtime until morning. I have read and watched a lot of other material as well and have learned a lot of practical stuff, especially in the area of body language.

In my life I have set goals for myself - weekly, monthly and yearly goals - and I consistently work on them:

Some short term goals have included:

- Add more exercise sessions to your week
- Go shopping for clothes
- Smile more
- Hold better eye contact
- Practice good body language
- Socialize more with friends
- Be friendly with shop staff and strangers
- Go out during the day more (and look for opportunities to open)

Some Inner Game regimens I have done include:

- Write 3 pages a day on my Inner Game ( I did this for a few weeks)
- Write out long term goals (the man you want to become) á la Hypnotica's goals exercise and read it before bed and upon waking (I do this inconsistently but often enough)
- Extensive journaling on every aspect of my life and my self and what I want to improve in both
- Write out all my attractive qualities (a really nice exercise for boosting confidence)

and more I can't think of...

My long-term goal is written more as a detailed description of the person I want to be in a year's time, written in the present tense. "I am a completely myself, completely confident and the best version of myself I can be. Meeting women is easy and sex is a natural and abundant part of my life. etc." (paraphrase)

I have noticed a real difference in my life, and my level of happiness, energy and confidence. I carry myself a lot better and walk taller. It's powerful how changing your body language influences the way you feel.

There is still a wall, when it comes to approaching, that I haven't broken through. I have gone out with the intention of 'being more friendly to everyone' and hitting on/talking to shop staff or 'hired guns', and I've had some decent interactions doing this. Otherwise I have not 'become an approacher' and i'm aware of this. I did intend to make this transformation into 'a guy who approaches women', a rare breed where I come from, and I gave myself a reading period of 2 months, but then my circumstances changed: I got accepted into college.

I had been gearing myself up to become a regular daygamer, and get over the hump of approach anxiety, but then the goalposts moved. I was now gonna be in college, surrounded by hot girls and cold approach was less of a priority. I watched Braddock's College Game and Social Circle game, and I've been to college before so I have a good idea of what it's about. But it's certainly not about going up and macking on chicks that you're going to see every day for a few years; it's social circle game. That said I want to get over my AA at some point and may attempt to practise it on the side (though I will be immersed in college life i.e. building a social network).

Apart from approaching I have made an attempt to socialize more with my friends, and to give more value and practise flirting, teasing, sexualized banter etc. while out. This has led to a few raucous episodes of flirting (with girls introduced to me through a friend) that were a lot of fun. I would not have had the confidence to do this before, or just wouldn't have thought of it. And the girls had a lot of fun; 2 that I met literally screamed with excitement when I bumped into them again a few weeks later. I think in general I have learned to 'give a lot more emotional value' in conversation when out at night, and this comes from studying attraction methods.

My next major step is to become active in college. For this I have joined a select group of clubs and societies: the ones with the most girls in them (or ones that improve my confidence or are a DHV).

My next Inner Game hurdle is to tackle some negative old beliefs about myself and my entitlements in life, and to construct some shiny new ones.

Overall I think the pursuit of 'game' has improved me a lot so far, and has allowed me to see much more of an attractive and confident side of myself.

See my story is of someone with a lot going for them in terms of game. In primary school I was voted the best looking guy in my class by the girls, and most popular by the guys. I'm above average looking in the face area, average height, quite skinny in the body though, but fit from playing sports. I'm academically smart, I have a good sense of humour, I am known for being quick witted and good with words. I have played music since I was seven and have been a lead singer in bands, and am a proficient guitarist. I have a lot of friends and have good social skills. In some contexts I am extremely confident - for examply in music, on stage etc.

I have a lot going for me but some bad things happened along the way that really knocked my confidence in an overwhelming way and in particular my confidence with girls; thus I never got the kind of results that I wish for. I feel like I am over that bad stuff now, and want to go forward and achieve my goal, become the sexually confident man I want to be, but I feel that I will have to tackle some of those old issues along the way, and put them away for good.

Well, thanks very much for reading (It is quite long)

Please, please give me any feedback you have: What more I could do? What I could do differently - Ideas for what to do next - What worked for you (in terms of inner game/personal development.

Thanks very much,

Birdo

You remind me a lot of me, as far as how you long you've been in the game and what you are doing to get your life on the track that you want it to be on. The only thing I can say is that it sounds like you have a sticking point somewhere within your inner game. But don't lose yourself in all this pua shit. Be the person you are, a musician or whatever, and just work to improve your life and be true to yourself.

7 months since I made a decision to change myself and my life.

Things are going great!

I rarely think about the nuts and bolts of "PUA stuff" these days: stuff like good eye contact, walking tall and other stuff have all just become a part of me now and I don't think about it.

My lifestyle is pretty great. By expanding my comfort zone in small increments, I've gotten to the stage where I'm not afraid to try anything (in terms of taking up classes etc.). I'm currently doing acting class and some intense martial arts (beginner at both), along with some other more chilled out social activities here and there (including performing as a musician).

I enjoy my work as a student and I commit myself to it as well.

All in all, I love my life! and it's a long way from where I started. I've tried and tested and finally got to the point where I feel that my lifestyle is really strong. The boys talk about having an attractive lifestyle (and that this gives you interesting things to talk about), well I feel like I'm there now, and I enjoy it.

I've also invest a LOT of time and effort into buying clothes (despite being a typical guy who hates clothes shopping - I've grown to like it btw). My goal was to feel like i look my best in every single outfit I wear, ever! 2 or 3 weeks ago I had an awesome feeling that I had just got to that point. I'm really happy with how things are on the clothes front, and I really don't need to spend much more for the foreseeable future (I want to though - it's addictive!).

I had wanted to do cold approach in addition to my life, but now I'm not so pushed. It doesn't suit me as I don't drink, try to get home early (and up early etc.) and I'm too busy to find time for it. I have just one friend who'd be a good wingman, and I've talked to him about going out on the pull. We may do so in the near future, and I think it'll be fun. It's not my main priority.

As for girls, I feel I'm becoming a pretty good sell in terms of attractiveness. I'm getting some nice reactions here and there. I have great confidence in myself and my attractiveness now. I just wanna get more confident, "more attractive", more stylish etc. I just enjoy living and living well, and improving at anything and everything that I'm doing. So strangely I'm not that pushed about getting with a girl at the moment, I'm just concentrating on me and my life. Within this is being social and meeting people, which I do, and I'm beginning to meet a lot of girls around college; so I think it's only a matter of time that I click with someone. It's inevitable. I don't really care about anything happening right now, I'm enjoying my life as it is.

My ultimate goal was to become a more attractive (you can also say 'mature', 'well-rounded', 'responsible', 'confident', 'assertive') person, and I feel like I've gone a long way in this goal. I feel like it's going very well.

Apart from increasing my "sexual value" (which is kinda my aim - among other things), I don't know what my specific goal with women is now. It has changed a bit over the months. I suppose my plan is to let things play out. Things are happening on the social front all the time, meeting new people, getting to know people better, getting better known around college, so it is inevitable like I said. I'll just see what options come my way. There are a few girls that really interest me (beyond the superficial). And obviously I just keep going after the girls I like when and where I can.

7 months on and everything was totally worth it, and it only gets better from here. It's true that I can't report that I've gotten with any girls (actually there was one girl at a party that was very close - she kinda fucked it up by saying some extremely mood-kill stuff, and I fucked up by not just taking control and leading the interaction (we were lying down together in an armchair after talking for ages, with couples kissing on couches beside us! - Yes I dropped the ball there, but she did say some really stupid and unhelpful shit that gave me some very mixed messages))

But anyway, I haven't got with a girl but...

I decided on the long game, the "inner game" route. On changing myself and my life and my thinking first, and then looking for some results, rather than the other way around. A "safer" method for sure, but probably a more solid one (if you have the patience).

I'll update this in another few months and I expect that some SHIT WILL HAVE GONE DOWN!

Cheers,

Birdo

Bro you may feel better about yourself, you may be able to hold eye contact better but really this stuff is all delusional. All the stuff you just mentioned seems like an attempt to convince yourself what you are doing is correct, when in reality all this stuff you mentioned seems like a large amount of mental masturbation. 7 months in and still no approach..... Common man you not going life to 1000.

I may be wrong and in a few months time you may have it all figured out and be having with sex with tonnes of girls BUT do you honestly think this will happen..

I'm in a very similar situation-in first year at uni/college- still not really approaching BUT just last week thanks to kasabi a switch has been pressed and I realised just how wrong I have been. I really really recommend reading through my journal as you seem to have the same issues as me.

Firstly I want to apologize my post was over critical and highly negative. I really understand what you are getting at with your post- you come to college with no friends now you surrounded by people who you would consider your friends and your simply just enjoying it.
Quote:
Not too pushed about fuck all else. And I don't want love or a girlfriend. I wouldn't mind having a girlfriend if I have to, but it's not something I want. I'd like an intelligent, funny girl to have sex with. That's about it.
This is the only time in your last post in which you said what you want and it really isn't very clear. Correct me if I'm wrong but you seem quite confused in what you actually want. What I would advice to you is to spend a some time taking a long hard look at yourself and try and found out what you really want.

Why should do this?

Do it because it then gives you direction and purpose to your life also if you haven't read the power of now yet do so ,it may help you realise some truths in life you weren't aware of.

Birdo, why are you qualifying yourself? Because some dude on the internet is wrong and you want to set him straight?!? lolz

Look, all that matters is that you are happy with where you are in your pua voyage. As I said previously, I started about the same time you did, though I'm much older. I can relate to a lot of the things you have said. I changed my lifestyle, started going to the gym, and I've bought tons of new stylish clothes. I admit that I was a little surprised that you haven't f-closed yet, but we all acheive different levels of success at different rates. It's not a contest.
