  1. Obviously 100% agree. And yeah if a guy has critical enough errors in his game he will be batting 0.000 unless he really lowers his standards, which I don’t recommend doing too much, but IF someone can find “unattractive” women sexy? Then I’d definitely advise them to use that to their advantage and don’t worry what anyone else thinks, just start there and get calibrated. If someone is batting zero even with a large sample size (very possible if not very common at first), perhaps what what they need to hear is: Get way simpler and ignore RSD (except for maybe The Jeffy Show; probably the only good guy from RSD). Definitely don’t do any gamy tricks. Just be your self, expressing who you are freely, with dominant body language (relaxed and flowing, not stiff as a board) and speak with commanding/downward inflection, facing her with feet towards her, with strong eye contact (don’t literally stare into her eyes the entire time but definitely learn to hold her gaze for long periods), and speak with no filter and pay no mind to what’s coming out of your mouth until after the girl reacts (pay attention to what you’ve said and what the girl responds to it with, but pay NO special attention to what you are currently saying or are about to say; whatever comes to mind, say it) — that’s probably 75% of the game right there. The most grave error is trying to say things to make it work (which at least in part comes from fear of rejection). Speech should be used simply for multi-threaded conversation in exactly the same way you’d have a good conversation with your dad or best friend BUT with sexuality/flirtation injected in, and leading the girl. And of course it all starts with the mindset “I am super awesome and good enough for any girl” — and don’t hesitate to mention things about you that are awesome or showcasing of attractive traits. Without bragging though — if you’re a lawyer you certainly wouldn’t want to say “ever dated a lawyer before?” 🤮 as it screams “my self isn’t good enough for you, oh great goddess, but I do happen to have this thing that I can show you instead, to cover up how much of a loser I am!” So don’t do that.
  2. And don’t give up just because they didn’t text back. Any time they don’t reply, wait 2 days and reinitiate with a funny meme, and if she replies get her availability and make plans. Give up after 3 tries. And continue getting more numbers from night, day, and preferably online too (requires good/professional photos for best results).
  3. Then you simply are chiming in on something you don’t have the experience to really give serious advice on because if you did have extensive experience, your first thought (when seeing that another guy seemingly got rejected by a girl) would be “sounds about right / happens all the time.” It happens most of the time even if you have perfect game and mindset and are 7+/10 attractive. And rejection happens only slightly more when you have rather imperfect game and are not super handsome, but are good enough (or even just think you’re good enough). Not that you’re entirely wrong. It’s just that betting dollars to donuts that a mere 2 girls not texting back after getting their number, means something significant, is kind of missing the point. Of course he did spend a while with them so you you do kind of have a point, it’s just not even close to the main point. Yes investment can certainly play a part, but first of all, until sex there’s not that much investment anyway, and in cold approach this is beside the point (volume). For instance if your only sample is girls at your workplace or in your friend group who practically give you a green light before you ask them out, yeah they’ll be invested more and your close rate can be way better than 10%, but if we’re talking about cold approach like (I think) OP is, 10% is absolutely legendary and in my experience not even possible to beat. So two girls? Yeah you’d be winning a small lottery if either of them closed. Not that it can’t happen. In fact it’s probably around a very-much-not-insignificant 5% chance one of them will, even at this stage with them already not texting back.
  4. Yeah that is a route that seems likely to lead to the friend zone unless you framed the date to go to one of your places after — maybe text/ask: “is it cool if we split a bottle of wine / watch a movie at your/my apt after? Assuming the chemistry is good of course ;)”… You also generally want to somehow make it clear that it’s not “for sex” if she objects with “you just want to sleep with me” (token objection) — you both know it is potentially for sex, but some shitty guys actually think the girl owes him sex if you two go home together, and she may be wondering if you’re one of those, and she will be extremely appreciative that you aren’t one. You want to do something one on one where the main focus is on you two (the activity itself is a mere prop and thus should be as insignificant as possible so as to not detract from chemistry, i.e. drinks/coffee). The primary purpose of a date: improve logistical situation for intimacy, so that you maximally increase your chances of bringing the girl into your life and become and stay lovers, not just friends. More creative date ideas (and nice dinners) are for after intimacy is already established. If you do what every other guy is doing, you’ll often get walked all over or even cheated on by not giving the emotional satisfaction women crave and have a hard time finding. Girls often don’t even know how to have sex without the guy leading completely — girls will reward you for leading. After sex, don’t feel like you need to hold back how beautiful she looks. Women aren’t scared away by this if it’s a guy she already slept with — it only scares them away if you lay it on thick before she has invested anything in you (basically sex).
  5. A number is always somewhat unlikely to lead to a date, it’s a numbers game after all. You want to be getting 5-15 numbers a night from bars and clubs, only pulling if their logistics are good — often they won’t be, and then you can go for the number and preferably tentative or even definite date plans too (after it’s clear their logistics aren’t good). They aren’t always looking to get laid that night (mainly because if they’re hot they know it’ll happen if they want it to), but even if many are, you can often get 1-2 dates out of 5-15 numbers, and 1 new lay, on average. So only 5-15 numbers for the whole week would not be super reliable — 20+ numbers a week (from night, day, and preferably online too) should result in roughly 1-2 new lays a week with some practice though.
  6. This should help clear up some blind spots you have. 1. Yes, this is a very, very common occurrence. So don’t psych yourself out. See point #4 for a more detailed explanation of this. 2. Always text her the next day after first meeting her. Say: “hey it’s [name] from [place]” … Optionally, send a good pic of yourself. When/if she replies to that, say: “what’s your schedule like this week to [get drinks/smoothies/coffee / activity]?” When she gives availability, choose the soonest possible time that works for both of you; say: “cool let’s plan for [day] at [time]. We can meet at [place] for [activity], sound good?” If she’s too busy, attempt to make tentative plans. If she still says she can’t, say: “cool np” … If that happens or if she stops replying for any reason OR if she didn’t reply at all, what you do is: Wait 2 days, then reinitiate by sending a funny meme. Give up after 3 tries (of waiting 2 days before reinitiating). The night before the date, text something like “excited to meet you tomorrow :)” — you definitely don’t want to be completely silent from the time you plan it to the time you both arrive. 3. It helps to be doing this dance with at least 3 girls at all times, and preferably 10-15. More than 20 is too much. But in my experience there’s a bit of a hole you can fall into when the number of girls you’re talking to (romantically / with non-platonic intentions) drops below about 3-8 and it can take some patience to get out of it. Until you’ve found an exclusive relationship, if that’s what you’re looking for. But if going weeks without getting laid is not a big deal at all for you, this isn’t a problem. 4. (Important) For every 10 numbers you get, you will sleep with at most 1 girl, on average. On the other hand, if you run your dates well, you’ll sleep with at least half of the girls you go on a date with, on the first date… …therefore, the drudgery is right up to the point of you and the girl both arriving at the date location — just at and beyond that point, the close-rate % sharply jumps from 10% at best (0-10%), right up to 50-80%. So you’re in at least a 5-8x better position. So the importance and investment of what happens before that point should be starkly low in relation to after — don’t place any importance at all on rejection, but especially don’t place any importance on rejection before the date happens, because even with perfect game it will be mostly rejection. Btw “running you dates well” means: Framing the date as discovering that there’s chemistry for you two to go to your place or her place after. Talking roughly the same amount as her. Saying whatever comes to mind (not trying to impress her or be someone you’re not), bouncing between different conversation threads as feels natural, and dropping threads that get bad reactions. And MOST importantly: sexualizing and staying out of the friend zone. And if she doesn’t sleep with you on the first date, all is not lost. Some girls have a hard rule of not sleeping with a guy until at least the 3rd date (a good thing imo), but depending on how horny she is you can often break it on the first and especially the second date. She can be naked in your bed and even so, because it’s only date 2 or especially 1, she simply won’t have sex if she’s abiding by a firm rule she has. Consider avoiding nice, dinner, or nice dinner dates until after sleeping with her though. If you want to stay fuck buddies, avoid seeing the girl more than once a week. If you want to be more than that, seeing her more than once a week will prompt it.
  7. Straight guys do, yeah. For some maybe it is only about sex but those guys are clearly emotionally stunted or wounded.
  8. Some girls dream of landing a millionaire husband, some just want a man. A man doesn’t have to point to things in his life to impress a woman. A man simply believes in himself and doesn’t take rejection personally. But all those things you mentioned can certainly help a man have a good life, and yes it does sound like something that would at least be the opposite of a red flag.
  9. That’s only if you let your spiritual progress become grandiose such that it takes your physical life and body away from simply being down to earth and living as the best man you can be.
  10. For the feminine gaze? Not particularly masculine looking, no. Not necessarily ultra feminine, but not super masculine either.
  11. No. Assume everything you do or say is awesome and ignore the possibility of her not liking you. And generally speak with downward inflection, as upward inflection sounds supplicating and flat/neutral intonation sounds boring.
  12. Same during the day except it will usually not go further than date plan and number btw never ask for the number, just say we should go (or let’s go) do [activity/drink/coffee/smoothies] at x day/time, with dial pad open on your phone, and then say are you area code x or y (the two most common area codes at your current general location where you’re talking to the girl at) and she will type the number into your phone almost every time. Now you’ve got a date, which a number means nothing without. Less physicality too whereas at night you’ll want to try to at least put your hand on her lower back or something.
  13. By say whatever comes to mind I mean like you’re talking to a guy who you have no approach/sexual anxiety toward. I mean speak freely. Is there ever a time when you’d speak freely in the way you described? Because if so, then you probably need counseling before you can basically work at the top of the Maslow hierarchy of needs. And just btw: yeah that happens to me too — saying the wrong thing blows it out all the time. Doesn’t matter it’s still the way to go. You take the good with the bad. Still miles better than calibrating what you say.
  14. Your understanding of game isn’t quite there yet. Here, let me help you: Simply assume you’re awesome and speak to her as if she’s a girl you’re already sleeping with, and speak with NO filter (calibrate after her reactions, never before) — each phrase is either part of the current topic or adds another topic (which you call fall back on whenever one conversation thread runs dry or gets a bad reaction). You simply keep the conversation going like that, and some of the threads should be about what she’s doing later or who she’s here with, and also some sexual jokes and flirting and touching to keep it non-platonic. And one thread should be reserved for continuing this with us at a later time OR now at another location. And move forward whenever it feels right, and if she doesn’t comply with the escalation, show disinterest in a light and playful way and keep the conversation going while also pushing forward (escalating) lightly. When you get the number you don’t have to just leave, just continue keeping the conversation going in the way I described — it will be fun anyway because if you speak with no filter and fall back on other threads (killing one’s that get bad reactions though), you will be able to carry on a conversation indefinitely and that, plus sexual escalation, is what seduction is. Which is demonstrating your ability to lead. Example conversation thread starters said from a place of saying whatever comes to mind with no filter i.e. letting thoughts flow into words: her appearance, things happening in the environment, logistical questions, her age, her ethnicity, awesome things going on in your life, etc. Especially ones that demonstrate your value (avoid doing it in a bragging manner), or are very attracting for the female gaze such as being a protector of loved ones, leader of men, preselected by other women, willing to emote, willing to take risks. But remember, what you say does not matter. So speak with no filter. Not only is this what you should do for the most success, this is indeed what she is expecting you to be doing if she assumes you are a guy that she would like to be with — so if she doesn’t assume it from the start, she will start to assume it (that you are awesome) if you behave in this way (again, the way she expects an awesome guy to behave). Hope that illuminates.
  15. You are woefully under-informed on the topic to be considering it. To start with, the bacteria content of any of the “pure” psychedelic or ketamine powder you have, unless it’s medical grade, will be nowhere near zero. Injecting miniscule amounts of bacteria into a vein (in flow of blood where there is no place for such a small amount of microbes to colonize and increase their concentration) is far less dangerous than injecting some into a muscle where it will remain stationary for some time and an abscess will need to form to clear the bacteria. Not that either is a great idea when not using medical grade powder. Sepsis (blood infection) can result if the bacteria load is super high, but abscesses can result even with small loads, which basically every psychedelic powder will have.
  16. IM injecting is much more risky than IV. If there are any microbes or impurities in there, and there often are unless you produce the chemical yourself, then there’s some risk of infection/abscesses. Whereas with IV use, there is far lower risk as long as the microbe load is very low (assuming you get the dose right and don’t OD, as IV OD’s are the most brutal and dangerous). You can smoke some forms of N,N with great success. Some vape carts work really well too but they’re much harder to get a strong peak with compared to smoking. It’s maybe not as wieldy as 5meo because unlike 5meo you build tolerance to N,N. Not to mention, if you’re trying to reach higher states of consciousness or ego death, N,N suppresses long-term memory far less than almost any psychedelic, making it a poor choice relative to LSD-25 and 5-MeO in particular, but even relative to most psychedelics. Not that it can’t still be life-changing.
  17. Yes. Obviously. Or did you mean something else? Because the actual words genuinely sound like a rhetorical question. Did you mean like rape? Because there’s no polite way to rape. Just checking all bases because I don’t know what else you could possibly mean.
  18. Because it would be a bit much to assume that the average onlooker here has the intelligence and know-how to understand what can be safely prepared for injection. Not to mention the primary benefit for injection of entheogens is faster onset and more intense peak per dose used, and that’s not particularly as useful as set and setting, and also duration of action. This stuff isn’t ultra expensive, so saving money perhaps shouldn’t be a reason either. If the cost of a 5-MeO-DMT trip were a quarter of one’s yearly income, rather than 5 bucks, it would probably be more effective. Injecting it probably wouldn’t be nearly as beneficial as that mere set-setting implement. So maybe find or devise a less expensive set-setting implement instead.
  19. Porn is a very shallow facsimile of the real thing, and women are far more poised to easily get the real thing. Mentioning porn can creep some women out. You just got rejected; it happens all the time. Us guys get rejected all the time — btw, from the feminine gaze, part of the allure of the masculine is their perception that a guy can get rejected and be totally unaffected (if a girl respects you that’s actually how she expects you to be). Gotta keep swinging even if it’s hard but eventually it won’t be hard at all. Props on the date ending with a kiss though. The only truly unsuccessful date is the one where you don’t even go for the kiss.
  20. Do you mean masculine as seen by the masculine gaze? Or masculine as seen by the feminine gaze? From the masculine gaze, it’s basically being tough, loving, protecting, and intelligently risk-taking. From the feminine gaze, masculinity can be seen in: a man being unafraid of being seen in a way other than how the man knows himself to be (not caring what others think), and also going after what he wants.
  21. If you’re too rusty then you never really went all in yet. Because game doesn’t really get rusty. It’s the opposite. You speak with no filter and just continue to see the benefits of it, and so you wouldn’t go back to micromanaging what you say because that clearly doesn’t work.
  22. @Javfly33 Wow, you got it. Yeah, social anxiety is basically a refusal of the psyche to get real. Pain happens when there is connection. When there’s no connection, there’s no pain but there is anxiety.
  23. Testosterone is a non issue. It means far less than you or pretty much anyone else thinks. Sensitivity to it can vary anyway, so even if it did matter, the actual concentration in your blood wouldn’t tell the whole story. Over 900-1000 ng/dL is going to lead to much faster hair loss anyway, even if you block DHT conversion — because while DHT strongly induces miniaturization of hair follicles, so does testosterone, just to a slightly lesser degree. If one has low T, then they probably should have low T given their lifestyle — if you’re doing regular intense exercise, your testosterone will slowly increase to the level needed for optimal health. It might take months or it might take years, but it will be fine in the meantime even if it’s somewhat low. If it’s low, it’s often because you haven’t given your body a reason to need it in higher amounts. I would say, if it’s low, then have good sleep and exercise and diet and stress management, but that would be misleading because it would sound like I’m saying higher testosterone is better, which it isn’t necessarily. Ignore testosterone 99.9% of the time. Just train your mind and body hard, and treat it well. After all, its effect on libido is only mild as long as it’s not super low (like <300 ng/dL), and its effect on muscle mass is even smaller — perhaps the most notable effects are that it increases sensitivity to adrenaline, and thins out the hair. The only time testosterone and androgens are truly significant, for muscle mass in particular, are when one is either 1. not exercising, or 2. taking anabolic steroids (which can destroy you inside and out).
  24. Most of it is toxic. Not all of it. Consume the info with both a skeptical and open mind. However… you better pray you have the intelligence to separate the wheat from the chaff — And to be honest, most people absolutely can’t do that. I’ll give y’all a hint: Todd V may seem like a good source. He ain’t one. If you’ve fallen for that, you have a lot of work to do.
  25. Didn’t have to even watch the video. It’s either good or it’s not. But if it’s good he will be doing a few things: 1. Speaking with no filter. 2. Thinking he is awesome. 3. Pushing things forward (closing) with either physicality or number.
