Rest Day/Sidegames go to AMS
Today was just a recovery day for me. I felt like going out initially, but I was afraid I'd wear down my system and get sick again. Instead, I did my laundry, cleaned, and watched "Mr. And Mrs. Smith." Later, Sidegames called me with another crazy idea. He wanted to go to Amsterdam for a "last dance." Basically, he'd bang tons of hookers and smoke weed nonstop. I told him that it was a bad idea as this likely would turn out to be the "last dance" before the "last dance." He really wanted to go, so I looked up tickets. I ended up finding a $630 Webfare on Swiss Air. He gets UA redeemable miles (BTW, it's total BS that you don't get EQM's yet b/c Swiss is not yet an official member of the Star Alliance) and it's cheaper than the $1000 US Airways fare that I found initially. The strange thing was that this fare didn't come up on an ITA search. I found it by trying Travelocity & Expedia. I guess it just goes to show that it's worth checking all the sites.
Confidence & other tips learned from KJing:
Today was basically a KJ day, but I think I learned some good things. I read StevePUA's acrobat file, mASF (of course) and I finally checked out Tucker Max's site. My friend James had told me about this U of C alum when I first told him of my interest in the game, but I never really checked it out. I was bored today, so I read it. It's definitely an interesting site, but I'm glad I found "The Game" and fastseduction first as the later two sites have solid info that's helped me develop game. Without some of the routines that I've learned, I probably would have crashed and burned more than I have and I might have given up early.
There was a good thing on the Tucker Max site about confidence. Here's a link to the thread. I already know that confidence is key to sarging and life, but reading his post there helped reinforce the idea into my head. I'm sure that a lack of confidence has been the cause of most of my problems in life. Though I really am getting more confident with each day I sarge, I know that my game has stalled because I sometimes lack confidence.
Or, as the Mike D character tells Knish in "Rounders":
You see every angle, but you never have the fucking stones to take one.
Of course, I've made big progress since I first started sarging. Back then, I had a hard time forcing myself to even open. Now, that's the easy part. As I've said in other posts, I know that I haven't number closed my good sets because of a lack of confidence (and a fear of rejection.) I also didn't proceed with the HB9 set last night because I wasn't sure if I could continue the sarge.
I have to believe that I do see the correct moves in most sarging situation. I keep proving that all these fastseduction theories work as I use them in the field. I have to have confidence in the routines and theories, and I have to have confidence in my abilities. Even though I'll fail, I have to remember that I'm making progress. This applies to poker, working out, and probably everything else in life. I'd always get down when I hit the inevitable losing streak in poker. I'd convince myself that it wasn't a fluke that I had a small downswing, but rather THOUSANDS of hours of winning play was the aberration. That's the type of BS you can convince yourself of if you lack confidence in your abilities.
PVC Devil, Sexual Predators, Attack Kitten, and Evolution Phase Shift:
I realize that I need to memorize these routines. PVC devil would have been huge last night. When the HB9 put her fists up to play fight, PVC devil would have fit perfectly. I didn't bother memorizing these routines earlier because I correctly figured that I needed to work on the opener first. Now that I'm opening better (the only thing lacking is the correct use of negs), I need to be able to whip out these routines when they feel right.
Impressing Guys:
I can begin to see what Style was talking about in "The Game." If I remember correctly, he said that at first, one works his game to impress the ladies. After that gets easy, it becomes more about impressing wings. Later, an extension of that is impressing the PUA community. I can see how that can start to happen. I mentioned yesterday how the AFC's looked in awe as I merely talked to the HB with big titties in the aqua shirt. I know that before October of last year, I would have been in awe of any guy that could just randomly go up to women. I kept thinking of what all the AMOG's that approached the HB9 blonde would have thought if I walked off the dance floor with the HB9 blonde and the HB7 brunette from last night in my arms. They would have been in a state of disbelief. I truly believe that within a year, I'll pull something like that off.
