- I check myself out in the mirror with my shirt off a _lot_ ... making faces from 'serious' to 'playful' to 'scolding' to 'curious'
- I do crunches, push ups, leg raises, and squats before bed (depending on which muscles aren't sore)
- I take dance lessons and go social dancing. I dance with both guys and girls.
- I try new things. On my list right now are both skiing and skating, neither of which I have ever really been good at.
- I read a lot. Anything from history to mathematics to pickup-related things like genetics and evolutionary psychology.
(Incidentally, I started reading the latter two on the advice of PUAs but ended up taking a genuine intellectual interest in those areas... so now I read outside of the core PUA topics (sexual ornamentation, mating preferences, etc.))
- I iron my clothes more often and more meticulously than your grandmother.
- I take showers. Then I check myself out again.
- I go clothes shopping, usually alone, and hit girls at the stores. (I also buy nice shirts
)
- I keep a log of my thoughts under my bed on just about any subject: observations, trends, specific people or events, goals, beliefs
- I'm always on-guard in my head. If I catch myself making quick, snappy movements, I take a deep breath and relax. I also edit out any negative self-talk ("I could never get her", "He's better looking than me", etc.) and immediately reinforce the opposite belief.
Some of those sounds retarded, I know (hey, that's negative self talk) but these habits took me over the course of two years from a nerd like you wouldn't believe to a respectable young man.
Anyway, please share your habits... maybe I'll steal a few of them.
