My levels of confidence tanked - unsure what to do

[Leo Gura]

Screening question:

"Can I interest you in our crack pipes? Buy one get one free special."

"Dad, how did you meet Mom?"

"Well, son, she was looking for a crack pipe..."

@LordFall Watching people's feeds of them going out with mutuals gave me the FOMO, plus I got tired of the more general bs posts people make.

If I had a brand or a business, that would be how I use social media productively, to promote said brand or business.  Otherwise I feel like I'm just consuming other people's crap.

For the record, in our shop we don't sell crack pipes. 

Most baddies that come in just want a vape, like a real refined woman of the modern era. 

When they ask, "What's a good vape?"

I look them in the eyes and say:

"I like the sweet tasting ones"

That's no problem. Ask the question anyway to screen for the right girl. When she asks where are the crack pipes, you tell her, "Oh, we don't sell crack pipes. I was just trying to figure out which girl's digits are worth getting."

I would screen for DMT heads. And I have.

If a girl likes DMT, she's a keeper.

Not sure I agree with Leo’s approach.

What he’s basically saying is that you should relentlessly force yourself to interact with countless women regardless of the results, and that this will solve your problem.

As if it were a marathon where you just need to put in more effort and keep pushing forward.

Maybe I don’t have better advice to give you here, but I highly recommend that you think for yourself. I’ve made the mistake of approaching countless women with that same mindset, and it only hurt me internally.

Putting things into practice is important. But it’s also important that you understand and respect your limits. Be careful not to place excessive importance on this and end up being harsh with yourself.

An internal state of harmony can be far more powerful than a technically well-executed approach. Both can be hard to achieve. Sometimes you have to choose; sometimes you have to find the balance.

You need to pay attention to feedback and what works and what fails.

It is like playing with a cat. If she bites you, then you don't do that thing any more.
