Journal entry 1
after 2 years of mostly getting laid via online dating, I have realised now in retrospect , the juice is definitely not worth the squeeze.
God damn , did I log an insane amount of hours on Hinge , Feeld and the rest .. Sheeit.
sure I got laid a fair bit , but these apps just pay out at random guys; the majority of the chats and effort trying to ‘Game ‘ or connect w women are a total waste.
**** I could’ve completed a degree with that time or picked up some new hobbies. Or just paid for sex,
And my social skills have suffered spending so much time on my phone ..1000%
anyway; whinge over.
So Ive decided to get back out on the streets and try my hand at cold approaching again.
Like the good old days.
and I am starting again now from a place of very high approach anxiety and confusion, having spent the last 2-3 years over consuming PUA /RP theory.
Each time I’ve gone out to do CA in these years I noticed how tense /stressed ive been and also how overloaded with different info my brain is.
TMI and analysis paralysis is real.
Ianyway so I’ve realsied I need to (a) small chunk and (b) get practicing so went out on Friday for a day game session for 3 hours in the cbd . and back on it today again .
this is mainly just for my own recording of thoughts and conversations and meeting women (and just people)
Stay tuned for progress updates.
