4/21/23:
Approaches done this week:
25 (I need to do more. However I only approached 5/7 days of the week. 70 is the weekly goal (10 a day))
10 approaches a day= 3,650 approaches a year
any notable PUA has at least 10,000 approaches under his belt.
If one approaches 10 a day, in 3 years (10,000 approaches) he would be more than well off in the women department.
That is the virtue in 10 a day.
I'm working on my overall stability before I attempt 10 a day. Mass approaching can drain me.
This is a long term goal of mine, I'll get there. The ambition is good but the pressure not so much.
Exactly a week since my last post. I got like 4-5 new numbers I think. 4 of them actually responded. But yet again I lost all of them. I'm going to ask my coach what went wrong.
I'm going to see if I can start doing coaching calls in the coming months because I'm getting so much exposure to women that the digital Q&A style of coaching isn't covering all of the experience I am getting.
I have my theories why the texting convos aren't working out but I would definitely like to get my ideas clarified by an expert.
I'm just going to do a deep break down of this week for analysis purposes:
1. I've realized recently that the approaches I do when I am unsure of myself almost always lead to rejection. I think adopting a mentality of "If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right" and go in sure of myself. Maybe take a few second before the approach to steel myself.
2. My mind is very frantic when I approach at the mall. So much to the point where it's hard for me to focus on any of the fundamentals I'm working on.
I think mindfulness is a skill when approaching. Once mastered, it allows you to focus on whatever you are working on (for me fundamentals). My new focus for mall game is to just be present and manage problematic thoughts effectively via mindfulness.
3. In prior months, my problem was startling or making some women uncomfortable. Now the problem is on the other end of the spectrum, I'm way too friendly. I have great positive interactions with women, but they then end up viewing me as a friend because there's no tension. One girl even called me her younger brother!
I definitely don't have to worry about creeping out girls now, which is a major improvement. But I also don't want them so comfortable that they call me "their younger brother". There needs to be some sexual tension, some edge to it.
4. Everyday before I go to the mall, I work on my voice for 15 minutes. I go into the bathroom, turn on my voice memos and just talk. Then I playback the recording and analyze. Right now I am working on having the right quality, richness, and pitch to my voice.
@Hector Papi Castillo made a video on the voice and he said the 1st step is to find your natural sexy voice range. If you go too low people can tell you are faking it. It needs to be a range which feels natural and is easy to access. I think I'm almost done with this phase of voice training.
Once I have this rich quality of voice second nature in all of my interactions, I will move on to things like tonality, rhythm, and phrasing. Also I suggest listening to Neil DeGrasse Tyson speak, he can be very captivating with his voice.

Here's another great example of an attractive voice, Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl:

why not add some value to the journal by giving examples.
5. I think the problem with some of these texting exchanges is that I am putting out more energy than the girls are, which signals neediness. I'm happy to from a connection with a beautiful women but I need to play it cool.
I've heard less energy is always better than more energy when it comes to women.
Another issue I think is I generalized this one girl's job when mentioning her work bc I forgot what she did specifically, my thought is this could have come off as insensitive like I didn't care to remember what her job was.
Another girl I waited too long to respond because she was showing low interest when I approached her. She said maybe to coffee date when I asked in person. Other reason for not responding could just be the low interest
The rest of the girls it was just low interest in general and I think the solution to that is to have better fundamentals. The better fundamentals will also give me more room for error in the text convos bc she will be more attracted.
I also came across this article this week about Winner Mindsets:
here
I read a Tony Depp article that said women look for "winners" as their partners unlike men who are primarily focused on looks.
Lately I've been focused on growth mindset because of this article. I currently have a victim mentality mindset that reinforces itself. I'm trying to change this to growth mindset, which also naturally reinforces itself. If you believe that every failure can be learned from and transformed to future successes then you are in a good position to change your life for the better.
My dopamine fast has been having excellent results, abstaining from junk food and porn even for a couple days has made my depression almost completely go away. I can go most of the day feeling very happy and motivated, the only thing that gets in my way is my ocd. But even that is just a mild discomfort given the control over the condition I have via mindfulness
I just hope my issues don't bother any future girls I'm seeing.
My ex, I didn't let her in at all. I just reflexively played the macho role. So I didn't have that problem at all with her but what about a girl that I actually have feelings for?
Anyways here's what I need to work on for next:
1. Sole focus will be mindfulness during mall game
2. Remember less energy than more in text convos during the initiating phases
3. Continue to practice voice quality
4. Confidence in every approach or dont do the approach at all
5. Practice flirty vocal tonality in sets IF vocal quality has already been mastered
Final note: I make this journal so when I have succeeded and become abundant with women, I have left breadcrumbs in my path for the next generation to follow and reach their own success. May they read these thoughts and not fall into the same traps I have fallen into.
Best,
