I think the most important thing when it came to my own development was just approaching until I got over any sort of fear of rejection - really opens up a lot of doors when the conversation flows and you're relaxed.
This is good. As of your last post in "The Chronicles of
@BPH " in 2015, you said you were 6'0" and 205 lbs. 6'0" and 205 lbs could be a 'Chad' level physique with a certain muscle mass and body fat percentage. In 2015, at 194 lbs, you also mentioned you had 6 pack abs. It is likely that in 2023, you still have a 'Chad' level physique if you've upped your notches from 39 to 88 during the last 7.5 years.
A notch count of 88 at age 29 is so good. Living at home in Delaware with your parents at age 29 sucks. However, having a 'Chad' type physique can make up for living at home with your parents at age 29 and possibly working a McJob despite having a college degree (you were a senior at University of Delaware in 2015 - so I am guessing you finished your bachelor's degree).
The biggest reason for your success is your looks. 6'0", 205 lbs, and fit are what women desire.
I'm just real wary about the last minute resistance thing because I don't want to push too hard and become some sort of sexual assault case. In this case I probably should've tried a little harder, I see that.
I can identify with this point of view. You are a thoughtful man. Not pushing through resistance will cost you notches (as it did in this thread) but it might save you needing a lawyer and defending yourself in court. This topic is a tough balancing act for a lot of men, particularly men who do approaches in nightlife venues with semi or fully intoxicated women and seek same night sex.
If you meet a woman at a non-bar venue, typically the process is...
1. Approach her
2. Talk for some amount of time (if using Mode One, about 1 min. The London Daygame Model is structured for longer conversations)
3. Arrange a date and collect a phone number
4. Go to first date at a bar, possibly have a 2nd or 3rd date, and have sex after one of those dates
5. If things go well after initial sex, the relationship might turn into a more committed relationship.
the bar process just cuts out the first 3 or 4 steps.
Before I get into this, I want to say that for most men who do non-bar approach, the process often fails at Steps 2-4 prior to sex. That 5 step process was a near perfect process with strong game and good frame demonstrated.
The bar process cuts out Step 3 and the first parts of Step 4. At bars, you're still approaching (Step 1) and having some sort of initial conversation (Step 2)
If a man desires longer term relationships, he likely has to do some sort of structured dating process with dates at venues like bars, activity dates, and home dinner dates.
As far as Wheat Waffles, I have mixed opinions on him. I think he has some bad hot takes like when he was trying to downplay other "red pill" content creators. He seems "black pill" which is a realistic point of view but not a beneficial one. Talking about problems is one thing, but not really giving solutions beyond "mix maxxing your looks" isn't useful advice.
Wheat Waffles has branded himself as a 'black pill' content creator. He has the most subscribers of any 'black pill' content creator.
I like to think that I am more red pill than black pill. I have a lot of posts on here so people can decide whether my ideology is more red pill or black pill.
The 'black pill' ideology is more of a looks-based ideology than others. I believe Game to be some combination of looks, money, status, and personality. Men differ on how they implement that combination. One extreme example of this is Bill Gates. Bill Gates has never had looks, so in the 1980s, he used his money and Microsoft CEO status to get a date with a Microsoft marketer who was a recent MBA graduate and that became his girlfriend and later his wife. Even as Microsoft CEO in the late 1980s, he could do effectively do cold approaches in Seattle bars, so he was a near or complete zero on looks and personality. That was a 30+ year long relationship. That's an outlier example of blue pill money and status game.
