I was referring to when I chatted to you in the Piccadilly Tavern Barney.

Now you're just embarrassing yourself mate. Chill out.

Don't take my word for it, ask Swype. To be fair Swype thinks i'm an idiot even being on this forum. For some reason I wanted to give back. I'm taking the concept of "giving value" and applying to other areas of my life. That's why i particularly like helping new people. This has special value from myself who has pulled in difficult sitations (you actually seen my field reports?).

Starting to think this may be the wrong platform to help people on. I can't be arsed to post lay reports/field reports anymore. I went through a horrible breakup last April. She was absolutely stunning. My game was non existent. Started going out May/June. I was creepy as fuck. Got blown out like a candle, most sets. Even worse destroyed good sets. Was a horrible friend to Swype and Alex in field. Had my "game face" on all the time. I would not accept I was crap. Alex was new, and could not accept he was better than me. Ego fucked things up for me at first. It was car crash times!

I accepted I was crap in the end. It wasn't the case of learning anything, it was just being able to chill. Just by chilling out with Alex and James, started to chill alot, and started to get K-Closes! Then I started pulling and got sex! I'm doing better than when I picked up my ex at 5th! OK, only one night stands at the moment, but there are other areas of life that are more important for me now. Game is not my life anymore. James will tell you how fucking crap I was, and the complete transformation. To be fair, going out solo has done me a lot of good. Got a new social circle, got a lot more girls as friends, and i've been able to get gigs for Swype!

I cannot believe how you (Kowalski) got to me affected in that thread! Yeh Swype told me off for getting affected. But I still think we can learn from each other. It frustrates that me and you (Kowalski) have so much in common (apart from your appalling music taste and weed fetish). There has been so much stuff I've wanted to run past you (non-pickup related).

Can we admit we have been assholes to each other? I have said offensive things to you. You started a whole thread about me! I have changed alot, still with the odd little insecurities (as highlighted by my anger at the thread).

I think my solo exploits are well valuable to the community. I'm off to Liverpool on Friday, solo, not to sarge, but to do promotion work. I'm sure people would love to know how I get on! At the same time, once i get money sorted, would love to travel more. Shall we stop spreading inaccuracies about each other? And you can teach me some philosophy (currently i'm looking into evidence for god, awesome stuff)

This isn't a suck up. I think every things just gone too stupid.

Nova, you really are as lost as people say.

I find your forum signature quite ironic by the way.

I agree, I am pretty lost at the moment (I am going through ebbs and waves with this though as I realise things about myself). I am working on improving myself, part of this is challenging myself and my beliefs. Inevitably this all leads to disorientation. This is cool though, I don't see it as hindrance.

I think part of my problem is I'm analysing too soon. If I see someone who I'd like to approach I seem to go straight into my head. Then if I a) don't do well b) not approach c) approach and do fine... I still find myself analyzing it and most times telling myself to stop being a dumbass and just approach the the person.
This is where I reference over to what kowalski posted:

I think this is my biggest problem, or the 1 that needs to be tackled first in order for me to progress. 90% of this is what stops me from approaching, this is my AA.

I don't understand what you mean there .. do you mean to approach someone?

For me and my progression I think analysing during field reports is healthy and enables you to highlight the positives and negatives, essentially always giving you something new to work on.
I agree with not analysing too much because I tend to do that before I approach the person i.e. "how will I reply to x" "what should I say to start" "how can I escalate x". I need to get this out of my head and just relax, be unconcerned with the outcome. In other words, I need to adapt to progress.
I know I am great off the whim, I feel like I didn't do well but its really 1 of my strong points. I need to realise and accept that I can transfer this quality to help me approach.


***side note***
Do people do the video camera/mirror/voice recorder stuff?
I wouldn't know where to start with that...

I think I will do the 30 day Stylelife challenge from Rules of The Game, this is simply because the 30 Tyler challenge of going out each night is not possible due to funds and also I just don't think I'm ready for it by myself, especially since I haven't been to many clubs.

And finally wooow! I only just entered onto page 2 of this thread the last time I posted, now pages 6. Thank fuck I didn't get all the thread reply email notifications!

Do you have any wings in your town? Scour the forums to find some or get a friend who'd be up for macking girls with you.

Funny you mention that Shah.
I found a wing on here not long after I first signed up and went to a normal bar with him.

He got shit faced and ended up pritty much spitting at girls and just people in general when he spoke.
I'm considering asking a friend about it, he's asked me before but he hasn't really got standards with girls. Pritty sure the last girl I saw with him under his arm was 5 times bigger than him... around the waist. That ain't no exaggeration either haha.

Ohh I see, literally meaning to "go back to step 1" i.e. repeat.
I'll take a look at the video, cheers dude.


So I think I literally need to focus on not over analysing. Thinking about it, the best conversations I've had is where I've had literally no time at all to think about it before talking. Then once I start taking I don't really go into my head, instead everything I need is almost pulled to the front like a filter and that is what makes me pritty good off the whim.

Doesn't matter if they're any good, just have similar interests and push you :P

Or come Improv in Manc once a week.
