What's the penalty for turning it in later in the day?

What's the penalty for turning it in later in the day?

It’s on time or it’s a zero. So I have to do it. Due at midnight though so I should be able to scrape together like 6 hours throughout the day to finish it.

Really shouldn’t have fallen asleep... but I’ll finish this lab if it’s the last thing I do.

 

[GrowingPains]

What's the word?

I'm assuming you've been out gettin' after it. No time for small talk, eh?

Just working man!

There’s definitely a few things that I wanted to update in here, I just haven’t had time to put together a report yet.

The Way I Game(Night)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the way I Game lately. I’ve been diving into a lot of theory so that I can go back into the field even stronger.

I was thinking about my Cold Approach 30 that went really well. Turns out I was using the Dr. Nerdlove Attraction Plan without even realizing it. And that approach went silky smooth. In fact, most of my smoothest approaches came from this plan. I really like this approach cause I have a plan and I know where I’m going, but it’s not as rigid as say Mystery Method. I don’t wanna have to worry about stuff like DHVs or Attraction Phase. You can work on attraction, comfort and all of that at the same time instead of being locked into phases. This is what he said on the conference call too. So this is gonna be my new Night Game Plan.

One thing I learned from Magic Bullets is to not let the conversation die. Sometimes you have to do up to 90% of the talking to keep the conversation going until you reach that social hook point. So yeah, that’s definitely important. Made mistakes there for sure.

One of the main issues I have with Game is not knowing what to talk about/running out of things to say. A counter for that that both The Natural and The DJ Bible suggested was to plan out some openers, transitions, and a list of conversation topics beforehand. So I will do that before I go out and do nightgame. These will be my “routines” essentially that I can fall back on if my mind ever goes blank.

Social Circle Game is easy, Roosh’s Appendix from “Game” is really all I need to know in regards to that.

Now the only missing piece of the puzzle is Day Game. I’m gonna start reading Day Bang by Roosh V. After I do that, that’s all the pieces to the puzzle(I plan on watching this 2 hour RSD lecture as well.)

But then after that I should be able to see the big picture. And then I will have absolutely zero excuse for not approaching people. Once I complete all of this, I’m gonna start giving myself a Weekly Approach Quota with both Daygame and Nightgame mixed together.

My prospects are looking pretty good as long as I don’t reject myself. I think that warrants a separate update. I’ll tell you guys what happened once I go on an actual date. I should be able to go on at least one this week.

Good Grades

@GrowingPains
@LiveYourDream
@Papa_smu

Good news, guys! I got my grades back today. I made an 80 on my first Databases Test! I know that’s not the greatest thing in the world, but it’s infinitely better than the 16 I made on it last semester.

And that Lab 3 that I barely finished in Object Oriented Programming? He gave me an 80 cause I “clearly knew what I was doing.”

I swear, actually reading books on the subjects I’m studying has done me so much good this semester.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement guys! It’s definitely been a factor in helping me get these good grades. I won’t get complacent though, I have a program, lab, and lots of homework coming up on me fast.

 

[GrowingPains]

LETS. FVCKING. GO!!!!!

Good stuff man, keep it up. 80 is great progress. Remember; progress not perfection. Think that way and you'll reach all kinds of new heights. All kindssss.

All kindssssss of gainz haha. Thanks for your encouragement bro! You guys keep me going when I’m not sure I can do it.

Know what’s funny though? I made that 80 by cramming for the test in two days. I made that 73 on the first program by learning and cramming it in one day. Imagine if I had actually studied a week or two out? I’m satisfied because I’m actually passing this semester as opposed to the last, but I’m not living up to my full potential imo.

It’s still possible for me to make an A in this class. If I could do that it would seriously do wonders for my GPA this semester. A program for Databases is due in a couple of days. I’m shooting for a 100. If I can test my code as much as I want and get help, why shouldn’t I get a 100? Gonna be a bit of a time crunch, but still.

 

[GrowingPains]

Haha I love the HodgeTwins.

Haha we just type words man. You're the one making it happen. Go 'head and get you a 100 mane. Yeahhhhh.

Purchases

Okay guys, I thought it might be good to do a financial update so you guys know that I’m not just blowing my money.

Half of it I saved towards school. I used the other half to buy things that I thought would be good investments. Expensive but worth it imo. These investments will eventually let me make my money back.

What I Bought:
Presonus Eris E3.5 Producing Speakers: I’m taking my songwriting more seriously. I want to make it a business and actually make passive income off it in the future. Therefore, I need some good producing speakers to check my mixes on. People on Reddit and the internet seem to really like these, plus they’re aesthetic and portable. On top of that, I’m gonna have lots of hoes over to hear my original music. I’ve done this in the past and I’m sick and tired of my music sounding like crap and being embarrassed because of these sh*t laptop speakers. I really hope these speakers are punchy like people say so I can hear the bass. They ran me about $100. Not bad for producing speakers.

Carrot Creme: My barber recommended I get this for waves so I’m gonna listen to him. Especially since I’m gonna be brushing an hour a day now to make sure my hair is trained enough to cut with a 2 guard.

———————————————————
BOOKS:

I bought “How to be a Straight A Student” by Cal Newport. The academic fight this semester is nowhere near over. So I thought this book would definitely help. If nothing else, I’ll read it over Spring Break, which is coming up very soon. I’ll bet the concepts in here can be applied to my professional and general life as well.

I also bought “Can’t Hurt Me” by David Goggins. Seems like an interesting read. And plus anything that can teach me how to stay motivated throughout the trials and tribulations of life is always a plus.

I bought 4 Wave Caps to go to the gym in but those are dirt cheap.

——————————

I know I bought a lot of stuff, but I think everything I bought was necessary, really. Proud of myself for earning this much money this weekend and saving half of it for school.

Now that I have my producing monitors, I really don’t need to make any more big purchases. I wanted to buy some new Nike shoes but I restrained myself. What’s more important, looking fresh now or saving for these classes so I can graduate and make money later(and then use that money to get as fresh as I want)? I definitely know the answer to that question so I’m gonna stay in my Chuck Taylors and offbrand Walmart running shoes for the time being. Hey, I’m off to a good start saving my money.

Zero Faith in Humanity; When to go to Sleep

I like Dr. Nerdlove’s honest approach to dating, I really do. But after getting soft rejected and seeing how shallow these hoes are in person and on social media, I have zero faith in females anymore. Especially these hired guns. So shallow and dumb.

I do agree with a lot of Dr. Nerdlove’s Game, like maintaining Emotional Momentum and stuff like that. But for these dumb hoes, I just don’t think going with a totally honest approach like that is gonna work. I’m gonna go full on PUA/Mystery Method, I can’t be genuine anymore. It’ll give me more confidence in my approach too cause I know EXACTLY what I need to be saying and doing. The only way I’m gonna be able to relate to these hoes is through PUA.

Looks, Money, Status. Every stereotype that the pickup industry has about women is pretty much spot on I’ve found.

My Game is gonna be a weird hybrid between PUA Stuff, AMS, and Dr. Nerdlove.

Then again, why not have both the Nerdlove Attraction Method and Mystery Method in my toolbox so I can use either as needed?
—————————————

Also, sometimes I need to know when to throw in the towel and just go to bed. I tried to stay up until 6 AM and that ended really badly for me. Still learning responsibility.

 

[GrowingPains]

I can’t be genuine anymore

What do you mean by this?

Is that what a DJ would do?

A man with self respect is genuine. A genuine man doesn't change for others. Changing for others is not respectable. Being able to adapt is different.

Why don't you figure out where the women that you don't consider vapid/hoes are? I mean I know some of the most attractive girls have the least to them. But there's hot girls with brains too. Tbh, if a b!tch doesn't entertain me then why would I waste my time with her just to potentially fvck. My time is more valuable than that. She needs to be worthy of my time.

And maybe you should give these girls a chance to be more than a vapid party hoe. Do you see them and instantly your vapid party hoe radar goes up before you even speak to them? Everyone has something to say, you just have to bring it out of them. This is what being a good conversationalist is about. Have you considered that the problem might be you? I'm not saying it is, I'm just opening you to the opportunity to think about it. The same way you might be thinking 'wow, she has nothing intelligent to say', she might think 'wow, this guy sucks at having intelligent conversation'.

I say all this because I’m thinking of overhauling my entire approach(now that I’ve done like 30.) Instead of just saying what’s on my mind, I’m thinking of going old school and using routines/flowcharts designed to create maximal attraction. But at the same time, that seems somewhat constricting.

I think this warrants its own thread. Gonna make that real quick, brb

Grade Check

Made a 75 on my Math Test. Eh! That’s alright. We get one test dropped in this class so hopefully this’ll be my dropped one. Especially since the second test isn’t until after Spring Break. I’d really like to have all As on these tests: it’ll really help me achieve my academic goals. It’s Math, which is all over the internet. I just need to start early, grind the problems, and get enough sleep before the test so I don’t make any retarded Algebra mistakes. Once again, I really have no excuse.

Self Cuts

Also... whenever I line myself up I need to use spritz to hold my hairline in place. Fvck my stupid hairline. I need to go to a barber ASAP

Yeah, women can be shallow. They tend to look for three things: body, money, or status -- well at least the ones we want to have sex with or date.

Although, in my opinion, most women are on autopilot when they are out in the field. It's quite possible that may not be as shallow as they come across and are in fact putting up a front. Thus comes the challenge of breaking that programming and sticking out in her everyday interactions. It could be going out of your way from your busy day just to open her. It could also be busting a move (good dancing) in the produce aisle at the grocery store because you feel like it.

The whole point is that you have to figure out what makes you stick out to generate a hook. And the best way to do that is removing yourself from your perspective and think about her perspective. Would you want to be approached by you? If you were in her shoes, why would you stick out from the rest of the guys?

Neil Strauss described a good mentality to have when going out. Average guys go out to meet women because they want to feel better about themselves. Guys who have success go out because they want make others feel good about themselves.

 

[Papa_smu]

Here's a good exercise:

Where do high-quality women hang out? What do you think they are thinking all the time? They don't spend all their time at a nightclub or bar. They have some obligation to something. Once you figure that out, be curious and check it out.

I'll give you a hint. A lot of high-quality women tend to do Yoga. I say that's the best place to start.

I think my conversational skills have definitely improved. So I would give myself a positive rating but I’m biased towards myself lol. I think this problem will naturally go away as I do more and more approaches. Let’s see if the problem persists by the time I hit Approach 100.

This’ll definitely be something that I’ll consider as I really start to dive into Daygame. The sooner I read Day Bang by Roosh V, the better.

How nicksaiz65 Approaches: My Game has Improved

Okay guys, after doing lots of reading and consulting Red Pill I’ve decided what model I’m gonna use for my Nightgame approaches.

I think I’m gonna use the Nerdlove Attraction Plan. I totally agree with him, there’s no reason that I should lock myself into one phase at a time when dealing with a woman. I need something more flexible. Yet at the same time I will still have material to fall back on if my mind goes blank just like a PUA flowchart. Not that I don’t find value from PUA resources, this is just the way I think it’ll be best for me to do it. I know Dr. Nerdlove isn’t a PUA anymore, but I’m pretty much using his thing like an extremely flexible Emotional Progression Model. I’m always building up the 3 aspects of chemistry until they’re high enough for me to isolate and get the lay. Anything that lets me think of women and life more like a video game will help me. In a way, I’m still treating life like Computer Programming, but hey if the shoe fits...

I’m still gonna find lots of value from this PUA stuff like Mystery. I just need to make sure I come off as a smooth Nice Guy and not a Pickup Artist. At the end of the day, what I say doesn’t even matter that much. All that matters is that I have a plan and I know where I’m going with this stuff.

I know I’m always going on about Dr. Nerdlove’s stuff, but I can really relate to him and his style of Game seems to work pretty well. Guess I’m gonna be gaming hoes with a pretty genuine method and building up Chemistry.

I’ve always wanted to be cool like a PUA using routines though. But the thing is, Roosh V says that memorizing what you want to say word for word is a horrible idea. That’s not a conversation, that’s a script and it’ll come off super forced and robotic. But I do have the issue of running out of things to say and then being like “now what?” Especially with party hoes that I can’t really relate to so I can’t just naturally flow with them. Yet I still wanna fvck them so I’m gonna have to learn haha.

Dr. Nerdlove said that I should go after the girls I Click with and not just the “highest social value” ones. Roosh said if you want to fvck the girls you have no connection to, you’re gonna have to be an actor and put on a mask. Doing so will be really difficult.

So be it. I’m always down for a challenge.

But I digress. My “routines” are gonna be basically conversation topics to fall back on and things of the sort. Or even just things to talk about in general. For girls I can’t really relate to, like sorority sluts, and party girls.
That’ll make me way more assured, almost as if I were using M3(but way more flexible.) I won’t have all that junk floating around in my head while I approach either. Other than that, I’m winging it.

In a weird kind of way, it’s almost the same thing if you wanna make friends with dudes regarding that social mask. Like with thugmaxxxers, hyper party dudes, and normies.

I know it’s gonna be exhausting af working like this, but this is what I want from my life until I achieve my goals. If I have to create a whole fake nicksaiz65(Aren’t PUAs doing the same thing anyways? I always wanted to be one) then so be it!

After I read Day Bang by Roosh V, I can kind of trans-mutate this plan to work during the day(and with social circle.)

So I’m using a good system now. As long as I have a reasonable Game Plan, anything can work. Just like fitness. I think the reason I was so stressed about this was because I was upset by the rejections. I need to raise my value until those rejections just roll off my back(and they’re less likely to happen.) I’m still not all the way there yet, one year later.

I’m just glad that my concrete, solid Game Plan is finally coming together. Dr. Nerdlove for the Attraction Plan and Texting. Roosh for his Daygame. AMS and Corey Wayne for handling the horse sh*t that women throw at you sometimes. I know the general flowchart of just meeting, to Dating, to sex from Models and AMS. And other PUAs for just general knowledge that will help me in life and love. This is the hybrid game that nicksaiz65 uses, and it’s all coming together.

My thumb hurts. I’m about to go to the gym, do my homework, and then get in an hour brush session to increase my value. Good to get my thoughts out on paper though because this has really been bothering me.
