We all know 2020 was the worst we have ever seen for seduction (cold approach night game that is), i played with day game (but i personally found it shit! specially with the masks and in my area was not target rich)... I have been doing this, since 17 i am 46, i think this was a bit worst than went tinder came out and night game went to shit... (or equally bad, hard to say)

Even when some restrictions were lifting, i never seen such an INCONSISTANT, environment, Awesome nights, follow by total shit nights, very inconsistent (at least in my area)…

With that being said did you accomplish anything? or did you just totally wasted your time? here is what i accomplished:


Postives

- jump into trt

- lost 23 pounds (not due to trt, trt actually made it harder due to bloat and water retention)

- upgraded style

- Got new job and got 3 different licenses related to my biz (professional careers)

- got new car

- increase my income

- top dude at my job

negatives:

-Seduction wise, my results were the worst ever (but i deleted all dating apps, I did not go clubbing for almost a year due to corona, dump my rotation, stay with one girl out of safety, again corona)... I only lay 4 girls last year, and couple of bjs, i don't count bjs, @Peterdk234 lol (the worst ever results of my life)

- my seduction motivation went totally to shit!


What did you guys accomplish in 2020, did you regress or progress???? how did you guys do? post it, by the way couple of guys did very good: @Peterdk234 , @Lofty , @Científico

Brag or post your shame?????

I am glutton for pain and still been trying to go out least Saturday night every weekend but my results have been absolutely abysmal. Every night there is probably only 2-4 girls that I even want to approach. Lots of effort for not getting results. I don't feel like I have made any improvements.

I mainly hit up the chicago surburbs now that chicago is shut down (10:45 pm last calls)

  • better understanding of seduction in 2020 than i did in 2019.
  • SNL girls outside of club/bars.
  • added new hobbies to gaming: guitar and boxing.
  • feel my life is very balanced in terms of where i want to be. only i'd like to find a higher paying job in near future.
  • feel like at this point i'm at my peak in terms of handsomeness (clothes, shoes, muscles, skin, hairstyle). and look forward to continuing this.
  • still fucking fb of 2.5 years.
  • was introduced to and watched in my opinion the best tv show of all time, gomorra. Italian mafia show. strong recommendation for anyone.
Negatives
  • worst year from a numbers perspective (5 lays). i already had massive AA in clubs, so now outside of them it was like 10X worst. there were many nights i went out and approached zero sets. it was extremely frustrating, so i made a lot of effort to overcome this issue of mine.
  • arrested multiple times.
  • sliced the tip of one of my fingers off. reason why i'm not approaching at the moment. still recovering from this.
so overall very shit year. but more positives than negatives so can't complain too much.

Velasco, you are the last person i ever picture with aa issues, you are doing better than most people.... Yeah you did pretty good, the arrest was bad, you don't want a record...

^ I have similar issue with the targets, sometimes there is not even 1 girl i want to approach, the women coming out and the consistency has been really bad, i hope things get better (i saw last week some improvement)... During daytime gets even worst in my area... I am disappointed though that you did not work towards other improvements in some other areas in your life, other than seduction related to improve some of your status...

  • 14 new lays (good for covid but down on my 2 years previous; 25 in 2019, 21 for 2018), all from tinder though..
  • Maintained MLTR I met October of 2019 throughout the year; kinky relationship, barely any negatives. Maintained frame.
  • MLTR flew me out to her homecountry for a holiday, after leaving due to covid.
  • Leveled up my understanding of game especially in open relationships; managed jealousy aswell. Learnt alot about what I require in a partner and my own tolerance for relationships.
  • Started cold approaching in September, surprisingly found I had very little AA.
  • Know myself better than I ever have; discovered purpose and have a solid sense of direction in my life.
  • Have solid goals and a clear plan for 2021; covid or no covid.
  • Stayed lean throughout covid, even built some muscle with calisthenics.
Negatives
  • Brokest I've ever been in my life; jobless.
  • Intended to replace tinder with cold approach; that flopped when making money became urgent, and new lockdowns began.
  • [EDIT] 0 lays from cold approach..
Overall a good year I wont lie. Despite not having money and being locked down, the introspection and reflection has been top notch. I've learnt alot about myself, and digested a lot of game, knowledge and wisdom.

^ lol! i deleted all my dating apps, for 2 reasons: i got too paranoid with corona, and it became too easy and predictable.... But yeah, most dudes with dating apps got laid a lot during the lockdown for obvious reason, i brought up this point, on how guys that were too rigid on cold approach and did not work on getting better online due to ideology would suffer (i came from a period of mastering online as well and i got too bored of doing the same shit it got repetitive) ... But, you got 0 from cold approach, that was a negative that you left out..... But man, i would focus now on your lifestyle put some of the seduction on hold...(but you probably already know this)

lol yeah I'll edit that in, 0 lays from cold approach is a glaring negative.

I do remember you saying that about not being so rigid about apps through covid. I found the girls alot easier to bed but far harder to retain than I ever remember. They, basically just came straight to my house, banged me and peaced out. O well had sex I guess...

I'm torn because I hate to lose a streak, but I really need to drop game for a bit and focus on lifestyle. I just have a nagging fear of getting rusty at seduction. Priorities..

Positives:
  • First daygame lay
  • Got comfortable approaching in my neighborhood, something which I had avoided in the past. Now that I've gotten started I can't believe I put it off for so long.
  • A much better understanding of sex talk and sex prizing and how to set frames on dates
  • Did anal, finally. and it was fun. (I've tried it in the past with another girl and it didn't work out)
  • Had to adapt in daygame due to all the restrictions and expanded my comfort zone in many ways
  • Life is at least organized due to Notion. I put everything on there now
  • Much more streamlined process for cooking and meal prep
  • Teaching evals were insanely high these past two semesters. My students love me even more than they already do.
  • Did two projects and learned a lot of skills for a future career after graduating
  • Read a lot of books
Negatives:
  • Had a couple rough periods in July, that tanked my productivity.
  • Restricted myself to only my district for daygame. It was a little frustrating not being able to go to my usual hunting grounds
  • Didn't do as many approaches as usual. (and only daygamed for about 1.5 months during lockdown)
  • Have a lot of questions on long-term happiness and a lot of soul-searching that I need to do.
Overall the highs were much higher and the lows were much lower. But I definitely grew a lot this past year.

Well, what happens is you associate game = pleasure

with productivity = pain.... Just a suggestion that i am going to try myself, is maybe move to a place (office, library) were is outside the scenario were you focus on game (crib)... I am going through this myself with the other businesses, side ones, (even dudes here asking me for coaching lol, i have not gotten back to them)...

Honestly, going to a library would be ideal, but they're all shut for the near future over here. Just going to have to ignore my urges and focus on what an upgraded lifestyle will bring me. Use the prospect of more time and freedom to pursue game, as my motivation.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Great thread skills.
2020 was without a doubt a hard year for people who don't have well established social circles. After my experience, night game was not dead in 2020 but everything adapted. The amount of club type parties were not as many as normal but they still were there. You just needed social circle to get you the invite. Taking into account how many illegal club parties I've been at over the last 8 months without getting fined by the police is pretty insane actually. Nevertheless, it hit me hard already getting tested positive for covid back in April.
With mostly only hot girls invited and in a period where it's hard to meet new people pulling girls was easier than ever.

Positives:
- I got around 20 lays this year. Taking in consideration that I have been running my first 1st company from the start of covid, and started a second company in September, I'm MORE than happy with this result.
- My transitioning into sex talk and my general execution of it has increased quite a lot.
- I'm hooking girls at a better % than I usually do after implementing Gunwitch's opening and immersion sequences with my own twists.
- My general understanding of game has increased as well, and I've focused more on tech than anything else moving towards a more technical style.
- Finished all semesters with good grades.
- My style and skin has increased. Thanks @Dreamer

Negatives:
- I've lost a lot of kgs because I stopped training, and the stress from my busy schedule made it too easy to skip.
- I don't eat enough and tend to skip meals for work - not at a level where it's a problem but something I have to prioritize
- Fucked up sleeping schedule.
- Working a lot in front of a screen instead of seeing people everyday have made me a bit less calibrated when I approach my first sets. My physical escalation took a hit under covid and is something that I have to readjust together with the implemention of it's on moments.
- I have generally been very unorganized this year.

I like this thread. Helps give realistic expectations to those who have a habit of being hard on themselves (e.g. me).

Personally thought I was far behind seduction wise but seems most guys had similar experiences of a few lays and FB's keeping them going.

Positives

Girls
> Laid 3 new girls - x3 from nightgame and x1 from daygame
> I never stopped having low maintenance sex in 2020 due to FB options unlike my friends who either stopped having sex or got GF's.

Finances / Life
> Made my first $300+ from my online side business & built the skills to increase that in 2021
> Found a new job in the tough economic climate and increased my income / savings
> Took the extra time to learn more about macro-economics, 5 flags theory & have a clear picture of what my future looks like

Looks
> Upgraded my wardrobe towards the end of last year and it has impacted my daygame results positively

Negatives

Financial / Life
> I should have saved more. I went out and spent too much when we had a few weekends without lockdown

Girls
> Realised despite 40+ lays (half from online) I still have so much to learn lol.
> Laid 9 new girls in 2019 so 4 in 2020 is about half. Not the worst considering the circumstances
> I find it very hard to get new girls and still keep on track of business or gym goals. It's one or the other. I'm too obsessive.

Looks
> Procrastinated with gym... I have weights at home so should of gained more muscle in 2020 so will be doing that in 2021

Great thread! It does help level-set seeing how everyone is doing and make expectations realistic.

Positives:
  1. Found way to significantly reduce anxiety. It's been a life changer.
  2. Momentum in my side hustle (finance) after years of procrastinating.
  3. Saving decent amount of money.
  4. Working on plan for early retirement (lol) by generating more income streams and saving more. Goal of $2M in cash-producing assets, trying to get to half of that or more in 5 years.
  5. Better-read in seduction tech and I have more conductive mindsets.
  6. Hustling to get another promotion and got one interview for a higher position so far. 50/50 odds I get it, I think.
  7. Spent more time with family due to telecommuting.
  8. Realized I am totally fine being alone. I learned to appreciate it, especially the lack of drama lol.
  9. Strongest I've ever been in weight lifting.
  10. Been in warm weather for better part of year lol.
  11. Growing out my hair again, which I missed.
Negatives:
  1. Near-zero momentum in picking up girls. Had good momentum months ago but the lockdowns killed it. Day game prospects, which were already bad, got worse.
  2. Even though I got stronger, I also got fatter.
  3. Made some risky financial decisions that blew up in my face. Sorta broke even but would have more money in my pocket if I played it safe.
  4. Social skills are rusty. The isolation has gotten to me in this regard.
  5. There aren't as many jobs in my company to move up to. Slim pickings and opportunities to move up. Got rejected 9 times out of 10. Got only one interview out of it.
  6. My side hustle is struggling. I am not profitable still.
  7. Since living with family, I have less freedom to go out as I please without them asking questions and stuff. Makes picking up girls more difficult. Don't have my own car either. I'm "subletting" it for extra cash lol.
  8. Growing out long hair, which people told me looks bad on me lol.
  9. Family money problems are dragging my finances down somewhat.

Overall, year has been decent. Not too bad but not the best either. I give it a "meh". Lol.

Remember when all the dan bilzerian drama was going on that I made a post about my wing getting laid like crazy and a video, when I almost got banned from the forum, I totally believe you, I made this point.Unfortunately for me social circle is boring like online. Plus easier to get covid. Did you get covid?

Good thread!

2020 positives:
  • Beat approach anxiety and started gaming for real
  • 6 daygame lays in my first 5 months of gaming (putting in the work pays off)
  • Got a girl i'm seeing casually that i met on Black Friday in late November (7.5-8/10) right before everything closed again
  • Improved overall fashion, became more conscious about how to pick your style and what clothes goes with what
  • Improved my running alot and recovered my weightlifting strength that i had a chunk off from 4-5 week flu and shoulder injury in dec '19-jan '20
  • Studied tonnes of pick-up/seduction/game material and through field experience sorted through what works better than other stuff
  • Realized that besides pick-up theory, through practice, i was extremely good at developing my own techniques and small tips and picking up cues. Now, alot of the time, when i read about daygame tips i'm amused at how i'm just sitting there like "Wow! I do that and i never read about it!" I remember one article by Karea where i hit like 80-90% of his bulletpoint tips.
  • Autumn crisis did lead me to rethink my style and lead to alot of improvements

2020 negatives:
  • Since i used compliment-based openers i relied heavily on hooking girls entirely on my opening and if they didn't, it was likely to go stale.
  • Too many numbers went nowhere because the girls gave them to get rid of me i suspect
  • Also im sure lost many numbers due to my whole text-game was mostly just Icebreaker text->wait till next day->open+hard close in same message. Not good way to do it. @Skills' simple text guide was an eye opener in this regard and seems to work way better.
  • mid jul-late sep were good times and i was grinding hard and had great momentum, but because of a series of sessions with terrible results (one week in october i did 25 sets and got 0-1 numbers) i just kinda lost it and stopped putting in as much work. For perspective i got 5 lays from mid jul-late sep and 1 lay from oct-early dec. Perhaps seasonal but i also stopped putting in as much volume. One positive is that it lead me to improve my style
  • I thought cold approach pickup, especially daygame, was gonna be easy and get me laid alot more than it actually did. Positive of this is that it motivated me to begin and beat approach anxiety by having alot of beginner's luck, negative is that it demotivated me to put in as much work. Atleast i don't have AA anymore.

Overall 2020 was the year i finally started doing cold approach pick-up and i'm happy for that. Lots of happiness but also alot of pain. Also, if i put in the work and the hours, i can get dates and lays (putting in work pays off, putting off work doesn't pay off). I suspect it is only gonna get easier from here on. That is a nice thought.

I'm embarassed to post this just because i'm so wack at seduction/game rn compared to everyone else ,but I need some accountability from others because I can't hold myself accountable. Also I figure this adds some diversity to this thread lol

Positives:
  • Did first few cold approaches ever.
  • Was able to save up a lot of money because of pandemic. Most of my savings now is unemployment saved from lockdown.
  • This money gave me the financial security to finally hire a mentor to help me work on my inner game and have someone to confide in and help me grow.
  • Hit some prs in lifting at the gym
Negatives
  • Struggled with depression for much of the year. Pretty common for everyone because of what was happening.
  • Struggled with porn addiction because I was chasing easy effortless dopamine instead of progress with women. This addiction lead to other bad side effects such as depression, low self esteem, social anxiety etc.
  • Had a lot of bad mental models regarding myself and women. Bitterness, negativity,self fufilling prophecy. Thinking i'm not good enough, I can't get women cuz I suck ,they don't want me etc. Really crappy inner game.
  • Lazyness, lack of motivation,uninspired to really try and expand my comfort zone. Reading how other skilled seducers struggle with game/getting results because of the pandemic discouraged me from even leaving my house to try. If these guys can't get women to meet up what chance do I have? I thought the guys getting results are living in more relaxed areas where women are down to meet up and fuck despite covid
  • Didn't try to improve my career. Was lazy in that as well.
  • Struggled to find a personal identity
  • Didn't get any pussy
2020 wasn't all bad for me,but looking back I certainly could've put more effort into improving my life. Being surrounded by too many normies at work also drags me down too. The females want to discuss politics,covid, look at dumb tiktok videos and the males wanna browse ig to look at bitches they will never get, play videogames or smoke weed. Bunch of lames.

I'm hoping 2021 is the year I finally break through the wall. I have a coach to work with me and encourage me to do better. He recommended me some books to help "brainwash" me to think more positively and be more optimistic and improve my mental models. Gotta approach and start taking small steps and not put pressure on myself to get immediate results like guys from here. These guys have been doing this way longer than I have and comparing myself to them is only going to discourage me further. I am where I am and have to start with that.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I don’t think there could be a better way to describe my 2020. I was able to create some positives, and my comprehension of social dynamics was completely reinvented. On the other hand, unforeseen challenges fought me in a way that I hadn’t been fought before. I have to be happy with my progress overall, however – especially in seduction.

Positives:
  • Entered the seduction community. This breathed life into a disrupted mind. I grew up conservatively, and I was never exposed to the correct solutions about sex or society at large. As a result, I had derivative but falsely premised conceptions about what sex meant, what relationships meant, and my place within these spheres. It took me a long time to peel away these ideas – basically from my first exposure to GirlsChase until I began cold approaching in late August – and you may have noticed that some of these ideas still exist within me. But now, my experiences have proven that I’m on the right path, even if the mileage to the final destination bears no reading.
  • Met everyone here. For me, this is completely different than the first point. I haven’t said this before, but I’ll say it now. When I first started my journal, I didn’t expect ANYONE to EVER respond. Ever. I thought that it would just be me releasing thoughts to myself. And it was that, but it was so much more, too. The support that I received was simply unfathomable. To see the best seducers in the game help me more than anyone ever has in real-life felt like a truly otherworldly experience.
  • Earned my first seduction results. I started approaching girls and matched my past experiences within a few weeks. Had the lay. Honestly, I should have had a few more, too. But those mistakes are just a part of the process, and now I feel influential with the opposite sex.
  • Away from seduction, I was able to create a decent amount of savings due to working multiple jobs. It was straining alongside university studies, and I rarely operated with decent energy levels. But it’s nice to know that I’m in an okay position for the time being. Also made a few good investments in the stock market.
  • Did what was necessary academically.
Negatives:
  • There was that legal situation. Whatever though, because it just became a piece of my developmental process. Justice was served in the end. Or at least in the lawful sense anyway. Karma is a whole other animal.
  • Battled illness during the latter months of the year. A series of throat infections followed by mononucleosis. It took time away from the field, disrupted my momentum, and made my life more difficult than necessary.
  • Began watching porn in July. Prior to this point, I had never seen tits or pussy on a backlit screen before. That was a very good thing. And now I see how much of a bad thing it is now that I have. I never reached the multiple-times-per-day level of addiction, but I have seen enough negative effects to know that it must stop. I saw Chase mention an application called FocusMe, and I’ve since been using it to block all explicit web content apart from the seduction-related websites that I’ve whitelisted. My masturbation needs to decrease as well, although it’s a problem that might be easily resolved if I can master the dry orgasm.
  • Became uncertain about my dream career despite making tons of progress in this area, which is also related to one of my jobs. This has led to a lot of internal conflict, but I know it’s for the better. I’ll find a more rewarding career path. Maybe this is actually a positive!
Having an improved sex life, or really beginning my sex life, was my focus for 2020 that was initiated during the lockdown months.

And once I returned to school in late August, I did it. There wasn’t a slew of lays. But rather, it was an eventful few months that laid the foundation for a prosperous future. I believe it’s only a matter of time before I overcome the beginner’s inertia.

What I listed as negatives… that’s life. So be it. I made mistakes and realized things. Actually inducing change in my life, though?

Yeah, I’ll take that any day of the week, month on the calendar, or year in reflection.

Great thread @Skills , and thanks for the shout-out. Despite the shit pandemic situation 2020 was actually a positive year for me overall. The "lockdown pause" has caused me to really evaluate where I am in my life, set goals and begin the process of meeting them.

Positives:

- Achieved great success at work, at my company and in my career. After a tumultuous 2019 that involved me leaving my last job unexpectedly with no back-up options, in 2020 I really established myself where I am currently and secured my future trajectory.

- Saved money due to the lockdown, and with some good investment decisions increased my net worth ~25%.

- Starting kicking around ideas for side hustles/income.

- Got serious about my nutrition and lost 20 pounds the last two months of 2020. A fantastic start to getting the best body possible.

- Started to take my dancing game to the next level, which I expect will pay dividends from social circle when things start to open back up.

- Started to source leads and got laid from dating apps, for the first time in many years. Began the process of improving my online presence and social media marketing, both with women and business.

- Around 5 lays this year, 4/5 coming in the second half of the year. For me this a big improvement compared to 2018 and 2019 - since I left a 4 year LTR in 2018 and those following years have had to relearn what I was doing when it came to women and seduction.

Negatives were mainly associated with the pandemic isolation:

- Did not travel anywhere

- Spent a lot of time by myself with distractions like video games. Increased my use of cannabis, which cannot be good for my lungs.

- Experienced an overall lack of seduction motivation.

- Cold Approach volume was way down - only did about 50% of the number of approaches I did in 2019. Was able to get some dates with gorgeous women but did not close any of them.

- QUALITY of my lays was lower than I want. While I can easily seduce women in the 6-7 range, or in their mid to late 30s, 8+'s in their 20s are still challenging.

Looking forward to what 2021 brings and to continue the positive momentum.

Great thread skills.
2020 was without a doubt a hard year for people who don't have well established social circles. After my experience, night game was not dead in 2020 but everything adapted. The amount of club type parties were not as many as normal but they still were there. You just needed social circle to get you the invite. Taking into account how many illegal club parties I've been at over the last 8 months without getting fined by the police is pretty insane actually. Nevertheless, it hit me hard already getting tested positive for covid back in April.
With mostly only hot girls invited and in a period where it's hard to meet new people pulling girls was easier than ever.

Positives:
- I got around 20 lays this year. Taking in consideration that I have been running my first 1st company from the start of covid, and started a second company in September, I'm MORE than happy with this result.
- My transitioning into sex talk and my general execution of it has increased quite a lot.
- I'm hooking girls at a better % than I usually do after implementing Gunwitch's opening and immersion sequences with my own twists.
- My general understanding of game has increased as well, and I've focused more on tech than anything else moving towards a more technical style.
- Finished all semesters with good grades.
- My style and skin has increased. Thanks @Dreamer

Negatives:
- I've lost a lot of kgs because I stopped training, and the stress from my busy schedule made it too easy to skip.
- I don't eat enough and tend to skip meals for work - not at a level where it's a problem but something I have to prioritize
- Fucked up sleeping schedule.
- Working a lot in front of a screen instead of seeing people everyday have made me a bit less calibrated when I approach my first sets. My physical escalation took a hit under covid and is something that I have to readjust together with the implemention of it's on moments.
- I have generally been very unorganized this year.

Remember when all the dan bilzerian drama was going on that I made a post about my wing getting laid like crazy and a video, when I almost got banned from the forum, I totally believe you, I made this point.Unfortunately for me social circle is boring like online. Plus easier to get covid. Did you get covid?

I favor cold approach myself. I have mostly only used my social circle to get access to the parties I went to, and haven't done a lot "traditional" social circle game in that regards. I've gotten access but used cold approach to secure my lays. And yes, I got covid already back in April.

I don't use tinder much and I'm in the start 20s. I used to have jobs that made me very well connected with nights clubs, and overall I have a very big social circle. I have been able to go to illegal parties at clubs and a lot of other private parties during covid. On top of that, I was a tutor for new university students last year where I had to introduce them to campus and introduce the new students to each other. I got a good amount of lays from that activity as well.
