"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Been reflecting on some things. Looking at my improvement since I started this summer I've noticed that my game peaked a week or 2 after I lost my job. After that my game and my willingness to be rejected have declined severely. I came up with some conclusions.

I thought about the question "Am I willing to be rejected 1000 times to attain my goal?" that Dragon asked me (awesome dude, his game is something to behold) and I dont think I am. At this moment at least.

There are many things that have surfaced in my life that have affected my motivation as of lately. Losing my job a month and half ago and not being able to find a new one has left me with financial burdens which occupy my head a lot. Being unemployed has taken a toll on my self esteem also, I hate being a burden to my family and looking at my parents for support again.
Also school has started and this is my last year, so I'm going under some pressures to perform well and finding a job in my field.

These are some things that have taken priority in my life in the last few weeks and have won over my motivation for being a pua. Even tho I still love the idea of being a pua in the future.
For now I'm gonna take a little break from this game. At least until i find some financial security. (or until I get really pissed off because a chick played me out).

I'd like to read some motivational material. If anybody can recommend me anything.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

its tough to play the game regularly unless you have a stable lifestyle - stable job, some finances and a decent place to stay.

So, look for some ways to get your life on track, and always remember that pickup is just a glorified hobby, girls are for fun, what's more important is your goals in life, family, friends etc.

If you believe in Mystery's advocated purpose of life - Survival and Replication - you will understand that Survival is more important than replication. Once you are confident about your survival, you can look for replication.

Anyway, there are a lot of people here with a lot of problems.. just try staying positive and happy.. work hard and party harder.

Yes this is true, and I do feel happy with my decision.

I think the Maslow's hierarchy of needs explains it well too. People are more motivated to fullfill their need for health and security of resources before they are motivated to find companionship.

At this moment it all rings very true for me.
