I have had bouts of depression for almost 2 decades now. I can say from my experience that depression isn't necessarily a barrier to IOIs, although it can definitely be a barrier to acting on them, but that's another discussion. One recent example is a story i've shared before, I went on a 1st date in a state of absolute despair but by the end the girl literally invite me over to her place to fvck. Why? Pretty sure it was from genuine indifference and not projecting a false image of how I felt. This is silver lining of depression - you do not give a shvt about most things, especially women, so they have absolutely no power over you.This should be addressed. When I suffered from depression for years in my twenties, I got less IOI’s and didn’t know how to deal with the IOI’s I received.
That's valid for short term gain (ie pump and dumps) but it's obvious why it's a retarded strategy as you laid out, and why PUA is cancer. I had so many situations where I picked up a girl whilst in a good "inner state" (alcohol/drugs sometimes were involved, sometimes not) but when she came over to my place later I wasn't acting consistent with how I did when we met, so the attraction fizzled away rapidly. There's no point in trying to "hack" your mindset unless you somehow have god-like levels of discipline to apply the hack to every situation in your life indefinitely, else be discovered as a fake, a fraud. "Hacks" can be force-multipliers if and when you already have your **** together, though.In the old ASF days people pumped up their internal state before going sarging with NLP for example and part of skill was pumping up your inner state during night.
The problem was that once you go back to being normal you it's disappointing to her.
Kind of like fist time seeing your chick without makeup and unshaven..
Not necessarily. I remember hearing a story back in my RSD days about a guy who would go to bars and drink wine and wax poetically about how life is suffering etc - women LOVED it because it was consistent with who he was. Sincerity and consistency is the key. If you're in a rut, own it, trying to feign happiness or success or whatever is clown behavior in such a situation. Being authentic is powerful and you might be surprised how well it goes down with some women. That's real vulnerability - the key is to do it without actually revealing what's eating you.Nobody is attracted to you if you are miserable, anxious loser and you feel that your life is sh1t.
