Keep things playful, smile more, be more enthusiastic. Embrace that anxious feeling you have in your stomach as a sign that you making the right decisions to push your comfort zones, which means you're growing. Don't take this stuff too seriously, you're just meeting people. If it's awkward that will make a funny story a few months from now. You are going to make a ton of mistakes that will be ridiculous when you look back, but that's what makes this journey hilarious and awesome at the same time. | ||

Thank god I got results within 2 months (started getting numbers and stuff) and having a friend who was a pick up coach helped a lot. But yeah, If I were to do this alone and after 3 months of no results, I would probably feel discouraged too.... | ||

After recalling this post by him: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=270154¤tpage=4#63 It's safe to say the guy is a bad dude who seems a bit disturbed. That post astonished me a bit to say the least. Yeah, not really good advice there or here by him, in any case, imo. Anyways, I can't say I'm really super "experienced" as I've really made some of my relationships last and I've been almost always been ridiculously busy since starting high school (now in 3rd year univ.). Meaning I'm not the "new date every 2 weeks" and spending even a noticeable amount of time trying to pick up every person I see like a lot of people are (though I was at some points, so I don't know if that counts as experienced or not). By the looks of this thread, it seems to lean more towards the "get a girl and fuck" rather than the "oh, this is a girl I want a serious relationship with". To say the least, in the periods where I was "playing", yeah, I even picked up a few girls that I've been asked if they were models. The ones that were the type described in the OP that are always dating for the sake of dating are generally girls of "lesser standards", ie. slutty, dumb, etc. Kind of like a lot of girls at parties. Not too tough to pick up if you actually cared enough, and are usually up for one-night stands or short-term relationships until they get bored. The ones that were more mature don't seem to be that "I want to date a new guy every couple weeks" sort as much. They aren't so experienced compared to the former group to relate to the OP since even if they've been in relationships most of the time, it's usually a few that last a long time rather than many that last short (ie. they're not constantly in the dating period), but what experience means isn't a huge deal. Either a girl likes a guy, or no. Unless experience means "Oh here's a cool, nice guy I'd like to have a real relationship with" that doesn't really apply to the group of people implied in the OP it seems. My point is, unless you practice some decent hygiene, you're decent at talking, and you have some respect (if even superficially), "loose" attractive girls won't be a huge challenge much of the time. If you sort of follow that "douche" style/mentality, it would probably work better with that sort. Just my observations. Attractive girls who aren't the female version of the "I want to fuck whoever I want whenever I want" sort (excuse my hyperbole) are more challenging. You can't just walk up to them, talk for 5 min., get a number, date, w/e at least in my experience. It takes some befriending and getting to know before getting to that point. Not all the time, but a fair percentage in my experience and that of others. Another thing is make-up. I've known enough girls to know that a girl with a fair amount of well-applied make-up is (to make an SC analogy since this is an SC forum) is like a 3/3/3 Zealot and a girl without make-up is like a 0/0/0 ling. My point is make-up makes a huge difference, meaning that that girl who looks incredibly beautiful has a fair chance of being average-above average. I've had a couple girls like that heh. It came to a point where I became about 18, and after some serious relationships, and a bunch of the ones that usually result from the "picking up girls" criteria described in this thread, I realized that in hindsight, picking up girls just for the sake of fucking and quasi-relationships was kind of dumb. You think those types of relationships were super serious and "marriage status" at the time, but then you look back, and they weren't. What confuses me a bit about this thread is whether or not dudes are supposed to have female friends. It seems like the pool only includes total strangers. Just from my experience, it's always a lot better to go with someone you kind of already know at least. Of course, if you're the "Sex first, get to know later and realize it doesn't work out" sort as I've been at times in the past, have a blast, but if you want to be more serious about things, it takes a bit more effort and seriousness. If you have an acquaintance you're interested in having a relationship with, it's a huge plus. It means you know at least 1 more thing about them than how they look and that you want to have sex with them. That means when you choose to have a relationship, it's a lot more relaxed and a lot more being oneself and comfortable with each other. When I was younger and many of my relationships were the short-term, attraction-based sort, I would never tell girls I liked vid games, even though I played them modestly at most. Then in relationships with girls I kinda knew and who knew me already and we're fine with each other's personalities/interests/etc. before getting into it, I can say I'm watching a bit of SC and it's no problem. If you're interested in having a serious relationship with a girl you don't know, well, get to know her first over a few weeks or more. Like really get to know her. Not some small talk like "Oh do you like doggies?" because then you fall into the category of picking up girls for the sake of picking up girls. What I'm probably saying in a very long-winded manner, is you'll come to a point when you realize dating for the sake of picking up/dating/sex/saying I have a gf/etc. doesn't really cut it. Then you realize it would probably be better to get in a serious relationship with someone who you can be as open and as comfortable around like your best bud. It is a colossal difference, to say the very elast. Again, if you're just interested in picking up girls just for the sake of having a fun time or whatever, go ahead  . Make me proud. Be clean, happy/enthusiastic, smooth, and find the right timing to get to meet that new girl. What I mean is randomly walking up to a girl you don't know and just saying whatever doesn't work out all the time, if not much of the time. People do this a ton, and then tell me how it was awkward and that didn't work out. Not just that, but even when the timing is right and w/e, their mood/situation isn't, meaning you'll get shot down no matter what. Yeah, it sucks and feels 'awkward' and you question why you did that. Kind of like Mjolnir described:Just face the fact that some chicks: a) don't want a guy in their face at that moment b) have a boyfriend c) are tired of getting hit on d) are having a bad day e) have a bitch shield up f) are shitty, rude people g) etc. etc. Also, professionals have standards. Be polite, be efficient, and have a plan to date every hot girl you meet . | ||

"Pretend to be someone you're not in order to manipulate people into vacuous relationships". Anything that tells you to not be yourself is pop-psychology snake oil. In terms of how to be good in bed, just watch some porn bro.  Today I learned that real women think "foreplay" means "guy gets a blowjob" and "orgasm" means "guy comes on my tits". Guess I've been doing it wrong all these years. | ||

I wouldn't post unless you actually know something about the topic. I agree, I really don't understand this repeated criticism of "being someone you're not." So, if you're shy/awkward right now, you should either remain that way for the rest if your life or else you're not "being yourself?" If you're unconfident, you can hope one day it magically changes, but if you actively try to overcome that then you're being someone you're not / a fake? People don't just wake up one day a totally different person; 99% of the time it takes effort to achieve self-improvement in any area. (or you can hope for a huge life-changing event to happen not only on it's own, but also in such a way that it changes you into the person you wanted to become. Good luck with that.) That's silly. If somebody was a total douche and wanted to become nicer, you wouldn't say "man just be yourself." You'd tell him to think about how other people feel, try not to look at people in a negative manner, etc. It might not be "natural" fir him at first, but mist behaviors are learned over time and by repetition until they do become natural. If he was a super-mega douche who couldn't go 15 minutes without insulting people, you might even have to start off telling him to find ten people on the subway and compliment their smile or haircut. Baby steps. So why is it weird to suggest that a shy person work on not being shy by talking to people he doesn't already know? That seems like great advice. | ||

When you go to the gym and get stronger, are you a new person? When you go to the store and buy some new clothes, are you a new person? When you go to college and learn a specialty, are you a new person? When you go out and socialize and pick up social skills, are you a new person? When you take a comedy class and now you are funnier, are you a new person? You were born a baby with a blank brain. FYI everything you do, you are changing. You are never constant. So stfu, you dont know wtf you are talking about. | ||

The second part of your post is pretty much what I noticed in a lot of this thread. It's a bit funny, but also shocking. I did address it in my post that this thread is basically about "pick up girls for the sole purpose of fucking and at best short-term, fake relationships". I've done that too in the past, so it's not like I don't know how it is heh. If you're after just getting laid, then sure, read this thread. If you're having something serious, then this thread can give some helpful pointers, but other than that, it really isn't the "have a serious relationship" thread. I didn't see too much about the first part of your post in here. I saw more of a fix your social skills than be a douche for a day. | ||

I bring a note card with three things to work on every time I go out. I also strap an audio recorder and I go home and spend 30 minutes to write a field report and I have my interactions analyzed. If you want to be better than everyone else, you gotta work harder. Its simple as that. is this for real? ^^ | ||

Well, he is probably ashamed of his marriage assuming that the IPs are all the same from those accounts so he needs to feel more secure in expressing his feeling by proxy. And wow didn't know that you could get banned for having several accounts. | ||

1. Met at friends party. 2. Isolation in couch. 3. Suggested food at Denny's and bounced. 4. While at Denny's, built rapport by talking about childhood 5. Bounced again when we left, she thought I was driving her back. I said I wanted to show her my fish tank and that I had to pee really quick. Denny's was really close to my house. 6. Resistance in the bedroom. 7. Gave a massage and escalated from there. Once the massage went down, it was a sure thing. The oil was an excuse to remove clothing. Just joking around on the way back. | ||
