Measuring Skill Level

[Rakehell]

I’ve been wondering for a while now how other’s go about measuring skill level when it comes to this skill.

Not so much in the ego flattering, “oh I’m a master” kind of way, but more so in the okay i’m good here, now its time to focus on THIS kind of way.

I’ve hit a point where I can identify when things go wrong and can course correct when needed, asking for guidance if I feel really lost.

At this point it’s like i’m hammering down the same stuff to where I question if it’s overkill.

For those who have reached a relatively high level of consistency and satisfaction with their results, if you’ve been here, how did you handle it?

Using skilled seducer terms, how would a beginner know he’s progressed to intermediate and what would you advise them to work on. The same for intermediate > advanced, and so on.

You want to look for patterns, situations that cause problems in your sets consistently.

I'm going to share a post from my mentor that was hugely popular, about this very issue:

Sticking Point Analysis

Early on when I wasn't getting the types of results I wanted I decided I needed to take a more systematic approach to my development. In my area, there were no other PUAs that I knew of so after the bootcamp I was basically alone.

I had to become my own best teacher by systematically using my in-field experience combined with my analysis.

So, I developed this "Game Improvement Plan" --

The first realization is the purpose of your Game Plan is to get you laid consistently by the type of women you want.

The second realization is you can’t go out with the purpose of getting laid.

The third realization is every action should be judged on its overall (GLOBAL) purpose rather than its immediate effect.

Take number closing as an example. Most guys feel great when they number close. But, are they really any closer to the Global goal? Could be, but probably not. But, Time Bridging is a better solution because it puts you closer to the Global goal (it is, of course not guaranteed but much better as a local option than the phone number alone.)

A dichotomy? Yes and no.

Your focus needs to be adjusting your behaviors until you can run through your Game Plan with an unconscious smoothness.

When your Game Plan is not getting you what you want you need to focus on something else…

1. What to change
2. To what to change to
3. How to cause the change

This is what I call "Sticking Point Analysis" and I credit it fully with my last 15 lays. I learned early on I needed to have more than a Game Plan, I needed a method for IMPROVING the Game Plan if I was ever to get to where I wanted to go.

Once you understand the basic courtship process and start running your Game Plan in the field you will start to notice where your sarges are failing. You’ll notice patterns. They are failing in the same places quite often.

Step 1. Identify Your Sticking Points

Sticking points limit the entire system’s output. (The system being your Game Plan and the output being lays.) Therefore we have to stop focusing on getting laid and instead focus on fixing the sticking points.

Step 2. Decide How to Fix the Sticking Point (SP)

Now that you have identified the SP the next step is to find possible solution(s) for fixing that sticking point. Pick one way to fix it and commit to 10 tries with that solution.

Step 3: Subordinate your Game Plan to the above decision.

Redesign your Game Plan to implement the fix for that SP.

Step 4: Elevate the Sticking Point.

With your redesigned Game Plan you will go out and start hunting for opportunities to break the SP. You will subordinate everything to working on your SP. That means you will EVEN give up a lay opportunity for a chance to work on Sticking Points (unless you haven’t yet had 2-3 lays from the Game – in which point I say take the lays as it will give you a better Global view and a nice boost of confidence.)

There will come a time when you break that SP.

Step 5: This is a continuous process. Go back to step 1.

My suggestion is to work on 3 SPs at a time. Experience has shown me that every set will not present you an opportunity to work on an SP. However, if you have 3 then you have a good shot at getting a few repetitions per night.

@Karea Ricardus D.

I see, I’ll start being more mindful about this. Thanks for the insight
