Forget about women, until you have frame.

[wifehunter]

Develop the frame, until then... IDGAF attitude will suffice.

Yep, no worries there, this place is crawling with hot chicks...work has me interacting with them daily. They go gaga for the IDGAF!!!

BTW off topic a quick share on how I bought my tennis racket because it's a process I constantly apply.

1. Know the specific requirements you have. In other words how will this product progress your goals. In my case I wanted an oversized racquet that would help with my crappy net game and make it a tiny bit easier to reach shots out wide. I also wanted a flexible frame that would absorb some of the shock and so protect against elbow and shoulder injury.

2. Use the wisdom of the crowd. I e know your information sources. I jumped on a couple of older guys tennis blogs and worked out what characteristics I wanted in a racket. I then jumped on it a couple of racket threads on Tennis Warehouse.com to read opinions on racquets people have bought recently and make sure I wouldn't make any horrible mistake. That scared me away from the Babolat Pure strike racket because people were reporting a lot of tennis elbow problems.

3. Look at your sourcing options. I checked the two best local racket websites because if they hold stock I could get it in store immediately. I found they didn't have exactly what I want so I found an eBay seller at a good price point and reputation.

4. Stick to your time box and let it go. A new tennis racquet is not a big commitment. It's not like buying a car however the wrong racket can lead to injury so it's not a trivial decision either. So the value to me of getting the product was about an hour of my time. So I bought the eBay racquet. By letting it go I mean stick to your time box and once the decision is processed forget about it. I was tempted to go look at some rackets in store the next day. No I had set a 1 hour time box. Committing to that is far more important than any individual decision. The cost was under $200 and it would have some resale value so no reason to spend more time on the decision.

You can also of course apply this to girls. A new girl doesn't have much value so don't spend much time on her. The girlfriend will impact your life more so do your research - look for the good qualities and the red flags.

This is just a question of working on inner game first or outer game. Which one you choose to do is dependent on your preference. The idea of ‘fake it till you make it’ is basically outer to inner. The slow & steady progress over time that is secure in itself is inner to outer. The thing is, inner game will begin to manifest itself as outer game sooner or later regardless of what you do. I find that the hottest/most popular women (9+) are able to read you better than other women (1 - 8) and those ones are so used to the fake alphas, ones who have only tried to work on the outer part but have no substance or foundation on the inside. That’s why you can see some smoking hot babes with average or even almost ugly guys. The only problem with inner to outer is that you need to make it a habit of actually talking to women once you have your inner game set or else the outer game will never develop.

Inner always trumps outer, just as reason does experience. But progress lies in the synthesis of the two. So one develops a hypothesis and then tests it in the world. He then fine tunes it. If one just did outer game... that would just be like complete immersion in the whirlwind of random observations. Transcendence is the key.

But what if you hate shopping?

 

[ubercat]

Come on cc I know you're smarter than that you're just winding me. That decision-making process could be applied to anything. Including shopping for chicks. Although I guess it's a bit different because the products in shopping don't often just find you

When does reason ever trump experience in regards to women? Or any kind of social situation for that matter?

Well, it is the whole 'consumption' mindset that has to be questionable. Kramer once said infamously 'I am not an animal!' Well, I respond to that, that I am not a consumer!

Pure reason is to be discarded like the ideology it is. Practical reason, on the other hand, is the criterion which enables our criticism....

nothing ever trumps experience

 

[ChristopherColumbus]

nothing ever trumps experience

But that experience is organized by the way in which you interpret it. Hence your reason trumps experience, without which it would be blind.

Yes

Reason > Expirience

Because...you can't argue with Logic.

 

[ChristopherColumbus]

Yes

Because...you can't argue with Logic.

But consider also that logic is itself a language, and we would not have language without experience.

Then it cannot exist without experience.

Logos is more than logic. Why was it translated Word, and not Idea?

noun \
1. (often initial capital letter) Philosophy. the rational principle that governs and develops the universe.
2. Theology. the divine word or reason incarnate in Jesus Christ. John 1:1–14.

Greek lógos a word, saying, speech, discourse, thought, proportion, ratio, reckoning, akin to légein to choose, gather, recount, tell over, speak

Yes, just as fruitful experience would not exist without reason. Without reason, experience is of the most chaotic kind.
