Rock Solid Game

PUAs talk about Approach Anxiety all the time. AA is something I do experience from time to time, but not on much of a scale. My biggest challenge with the approach seems to be Approach Lethargy. Some people probably say it's the same thing, just excuses, but for me there's no real anxiety in it. Just the sense that it can't be bothered summoning the energy to open, raise my voice and basically spend a few minutes ploughing and entertaining. So whatever you want to call it I have worked on ways to reduce it or beat it. It's worked well for me. So here's what I did: 1) I developed a simple game which I call the 10 leaves technique. I tear 10 leaves off a tree and throw one away after every genuine approach.  At some point you're going to just want to go home, so you'll soon lose the AA/AL when it's ten to four in the morning and you need to hit the hay. I also stagger the approaches out against things I want to practice. So 1-3 I have to do certain things, 4-5 have to be mixed sets etc. In doing this, I have managed to hammer home some standard behaviours that help my sets immensely. Such as stack routines and DHVs. If things are heading south I have a couple of stacks which just come out of my mouth without me thinking about it. The number of sets I would have walked away from which I saved just by saying 'hey... you know... you remind me of someone....' as the conversation was drying up. 2) I started recording all my sets. I worked out I get laid once in every twenty sets I do. Now, of those twenty, several will be girls I ejected, maybe they looked good walking past or from behind etc. Sometimes they just fucking bore me rigid. I'll fuck a girl if she's fit and stupid but not if she's boring. Once I realised this 1/20 rule, it also diminished my AA/AL. I started to just see it as a numbers game. Just get 20 done Jimmy and you'll be banging ANOTHER sweet little student girl while she texts her wimpy boyfriend that she can't meet him because she is 'busy'. Blow outs just become rungs on a ladder. Do you get upset when you have to touch a rung on a ladder or do you just see it as something you pass as you get to the top. This realisation helped me massively. But there was still something missing. Put it this way. I am on my motorbike, I am hungry, it's raining. It's 17:50 and I am heading home, it's starting to get dark. One of the other Bastards is cooking fajitas and I just want to get home. Then I see a 9 or a 10 walk past. I am at the lights. 9s and 10s, genuine ones like the girl I was fucking earlier this year, are VERY FUCKING RARE. You have to take them when you see them. You have to. So there I am - aching to get home, am I really going to park up, lock up, then chase the 10 down to game her socks off? You know what, I should but I don't. I simply can't be arsed. 3) So that's why I wilted under Krauser's pressure to start writing a blog. I am going to need stories. And good one. All of a sudden my approaches are nothing to do with pickup. They're entertainment. They're necessary. The dafter the situation, the better. Next time I see Siena Miller coming out of The Ivy with a minder and a date, I am not going to walk on and think 'fuck, wish I could meet her in the park'. Fuck that right off. I am going to game her. Whatever happens it's gold. It's a blog entry. Pickup is a numbers game. If you open 1000 sets, you'll get laid a couple of times along the way, no matter who you are. You'll open that girl who just got the dream job and who is feeling elated and just wants to celebrate by doing something crazy. As you perfect these skills, you'll see the success rate go up, from 1/100 to 1/20 (which is where I, and if I am not speaking out of turn, is also close at least to where I think Krauser is right now) to eventually what... 1/10. 1/10 would be insane.
