Learning from Mistakes (Troubleshooting)

[Just_Dave]

Just Dave here,

One of the more useful tactics I can teach you and discuss with you all is actively troubleshooting your game. After each and every interaction you have, pass or fail you want to write down what went right and what went wrong. Because it's easy to get discourage when you have setbacks, but you can't let those setbacks hold you back!

I call this the breakdown: It's also important to have a particular goal in mind when meeting women!!!

+A simple journal or something anything that's going to help you track your progress.+
*****Now before you start thinking this is too much work or effort**********
*They do it sports
*They do it music
*They do it art (plays, movie (especially during outtakes)
Etc...war, various jobs, vehicle performance tests, martial arts

Getting Stuck?!: You don't seem to making any kind of progress

In weight lifting there's something known as the plateau effect, you reach one level but you can't seem to go any further. Just hold on a little bit longer and you'll make it.
*Go back to the drawing board
--What's working?
--Edit what's not
--Tweak and get results
*Go back to journal and record your progress
--You see the improvements
--You're getting faster and better
--It's getting easier
*Work on different stuff at the same time!!!
--Work on your approach as one whole interaction, talk to women, build interest, move them, physically escalate, and close
--You can't close if you're not working even up to that point
--Play the game till the end, push yourself!

The more repetition you do the more your body and mindset becomes familiar with the experiences. You've done this a thousand times!!!
Disclaimer: Troubleshooting requires trying new ideas and implementing and practicing those ideas!! You have to actually get out and do this!!

Now to actually troubleshoot:
Observe: read your journal or field report

Practice: learn from your mistakes own and move on, then develop your new technique.

Implement: Go out their and demonstrate to yourself everything you actually worked on.

Don't looked at mistakes as things that are terrible but as new learning experiences to take your game to the next level.
Always go back and tweak your ideas! It's important to work hard but do it intelligently and logically. Keep it as simple as possible!

Another time,

Just Dave

Great metaphor. In weightlifting, when you reach a plateau, you switch up your workouts and work past it. Same thing in seduction, switch up your routine if things are going cold.

I like this idea. I've just started Olympic Lifting, and my coach and I were talking about this. He thought I would be frustrated by how difficult getting the second pull on the clean is to time correctly, and we ended up talking about the learning process. We said something like: Whenever you start to learn something, you're going to have days when you feel like you're in the matrix, and time slows down and everything is easy, and you're going to have other days where you have two left feet and feel totally hopeless, and if you just stick with it, you just...Get good. Like riding a bike or learning how to type, after a while, you can't even remember what it was like to NOT be good.

Training wheels, hehe...

Just kidding, I know what you mean and completely agree.
