Hey guys, I decided to keep a journal here which will cover pretty much all my field work, and any encounters with girls that I don't feel are as detailed to warrant separate field reports, but are important nonetheless.

This first post's gonna outline everything about me at this point.

Basic Info:

Age: 19
Height : 177 cm
Weight : 143 lbs
Skin Colour: Brown
Based in: Toronto

Fundamentals:

General thoughts: Honestly I haven't really approached too many girls but a lot of what I read on GC that I did try and apply are the fundamentals outlined in articles. I'd say I've been working on and off on my fundamentals for 11 months. That being said, I still notice that women fail to display overt signs of attraction. This means my fundamentals are most likely off, and I haven't really been consistently logging in what I do and what I slip up on so here goes:

1) Posture: This one's mostly good. When I'm sitting alone in my room I kinda slouch, especially over the course of time when my mind's busy on homework etc. I try to combat this by just taking breaks where I stand up and stretch. However, it's not uncommon for me to sit in a slouched manner for even a few hours. When I'm out or with other people, though, it's a different story, I stand as tall as I can, with shoulders pulled back and sit straight in class, restaurants etc. When I talk to people, walk past them and approach them (guys, girls, cashier's, registrars etc) I have my chest out (very slightly so, I don't exaggerate it) and my head's either level or, sometimes, slightly tilted up and to the side. This is the one fundamental I'm pretty happy with.

2) Eye Contact: Mixed. I'm improved tons and I never look down anymore, I do break eye contact but it's always to the side. I noticed last year over a few months (from Sept-Dec) when I was approaching more girls than I had before (and honestly approaching for the first time tbh) I used to gaze into their left eye. Chase mentioned this has the outcome of inducing a "weird" feel, so I dropped it. I actually look at the bridge of girls' eyes and neck (and guys too, even though I'm not seducing them, they're still practice?) a lot more BUT this is only when I've settled into conversations with them. I need to develop a more piercing look, with more probing eye contact and have a sexier and dangerous look right from the onset. I kind of achieved this with one of the girls I approached almost 2 weeks back. But I need to be more consistent with this. I also maintain eye contact fine, it's never been a problem lately and yeah I don't stare for too long. I also try to use peripheral vision as much as possible while checking out chicks from afar. Bedroom eyes: Wow, I noticed that initially I used this a lot and got great reactions out of girls, especially when I was (trying to) flirt or while smiling, but I find I rarely use it these days (at least not that I know of). Need to bring this back immediately Blinking - I don't blink too often, and I blink a lot more slowly and sporadically these days. Gaze intensity: I'm pretty good with this I feel, but to really check and be more methodical about this I'll do the pencil exercise more regularly.

3) Walk: Very mixed. When I tend to be in a hurry to class OR in "not waste time" mode, I tend to walk hurriedly. But this is BAD and I need to stop this at all costs. There are other times where I feel like I've just got my walk handled. Usually when I'm approaching girls this isn't a problem. The key here is my rhythm. Interestingly, I was listening to LL Cool J's "Doin' It" yesterday night (I need to absorb that vibe of a pimp/seducer haha) and I was walking very slowly, controlled with my shoulders swaying (maybe a bit tooo much?), my legs a bit spaced, feet straight and not flayed, kind of like the gunslinger walk Chase mentions but I have a smaller frame so not sure. But anyway, I was walking like this and as I approached my res, this girl who's around just stared at me with intrigue/curiosity, and then I felt her friends shift their eyes too me too, AND then even the guys in that group turned their heads and looked at me until I was out of sight (this is what I intuitively felt, and I've come to believe your intution w/ regard to who is watching you is very accurate). So the deal is to maintain that walk consistenly. I'm gonna actually listen to the same song while walking for the next few weeks bc the rhythm was perfect and it just makes me feel like a G. The goal is to incorporate this walk at all times.

4) Mannerisms: Boredom - when I'm sitting alone in the dining hall and or thinking about my work I have a zoned out, brooding look (think Don Draper in a bar ) or a reflective look (think young Vito Corleone). Passion - when I talk about rugby, or gymming or the things that interest me I don't fuck around and be chill about it. I make it sure the girl or guy knows it's something I'm highly driven about. I don't mention that I put in a lot of effort (that's breaking the law of least effort) but I imply it's a high priority. What I need to do is to incorporate this passion in a sexual manner. So next time while approaching women I need to try and bring this vibe. Interesting I find it much easier and more natural to do while cold approaching really beautiful women.

5) Deliberateness - Needs a lot of work. I kinda fidget sometimes when I'm not 'in the zone', and my movements are not that sturdy. Given I'm kinda small too, this might be a deal breaker. There are times where I'm very controlled, so I need to monitor this religious over the next week and significantly control my fidgetting. Also I tend to glance a lot, I need to stop this and maybe resort to peripheral vision.

6) Amusement - Something I've brought in over the last 2-3 days. When some girl says/does something silly in my midst, I put on an amused Daniel Craig-eqsue smile (toward the left side), kind of like a smirk. I need to bring this on to approaches too, where I feel the women is not very receptive to me or is just being polite. I need to convey "Ha, little girl thinks I'm just another regular suitor. That's cute, I wonder how long it takes for her to realize she's missing out"

7) Hairstyle and Facial Hair: Got a much more expensive and trendier haircut since November, got a new one again right when school started. It's a good short sides, long messy top. Style it with Brylcreem and it maintains a good dry look. What may be lacking here is EXPLICIT bad boy ness. I planning to get a lineup soon in like a couple of weeks where I shorten my sides again but keep the length on top so that I tousle my top towards one of the sides more. I may be falling short in the styling, it's a kind of generic messy top style. Maybe the lineup with the tousled to a side top might help. I don't want my hair too long since I'm doing job interviews this semester and I want to be able to style my hair to a good decent look too.

I've been sporting a good beard since the end of October. It got toward a full beard by December but I feel girls my age don't like I too much so I'm experimenting with length. I keep a heavy scruffy look these days (about an 8 on a beard trimmer), I might just get it a teeny bit shorter and tighter to the face. I also keep a clean neck, I love the contrast between the scruff and the clean neck.

8) Physique: This one's the important one. I'm a skinny guy and this needs to change. I was 97 (!) lbs by the end of 11th grade, and after 3 years (exact) of gymming (on and off, maybe really about 20 months of gym) I'm at 143 lbs. I've been gymming HARD the last 2 months and eating tons too, also bc I want to transform my physique for rugby (I was a wing but now I'm playing outside centre and being small is tough). I've noticed a few changes - my back is much better defined, I've always had a V-taper (the natural look, not the steroid insane V) but now it's much more visible. Shoulders look good too and my quads are a strength too (but they're really hair so I actually need to flex these to show em. I might shave them off soon). My weaknesses are my upper body, arms + forearms (forearms and wrists especially, my bi's and tri's have some definitions at least), my calves and my neck. My lower body lifts are ok for my bw I guess but nothing spectacular. My upper body lifts are really shitty so I need to work on this hard. This is the fundamental I've the most hope and certainty about in the future partly bc I'm very committed to this, and it's not exclusively related to seduction. I've always very vividly visualised myself as being a muscular, athletic guy (I'm already pretty athletic, but I mean like a really FIT guy you just look at know he's the deal) in the future. And if I keep going at it like I am rn, I don't see myself coming out of the summer without a physique to kill for. But this is the fundamental that could bring me the biggest results. Getting a bit bigger might just be the key to getting girls swooning soon.

9) Voice - Ah, wow. Last May when I approached women (1 or 2 times, I was so nervous) my voice was so laugh-worthy, high pitched and insecure. I worked on it the whole summer, I'm pretty sure my parents thought I lost it. BUT it paid off. When I came back to school last September, I still had a kinda shitty voice (but that was due to a heavy cold I had). But I kept noticing that over October and November, my voice kept getting deeper and better! I lost momentum after I got one-itis for this Russian girl and stopped approaching. But again since December (the month I really started to turn myself into this powerful man I've really dreamt of being the last 3 years) this has been great! Even when I'm nervous, my voice is deeper, masculine and grounded, I can inflect very well. I've noticed when I'm nervous, it still wavers a tiny bit, although nothing terrible but I wanna get rid of this. I need to work on a sexy purr too. Maybe bring this in while flirting, or teasing. The biggest flaw right now is I talk just too fast at time. NEED to slow down, this lets me talk deeper too. This is the one fundamental with which I've seen good results over the last year. For a guy who though he was doomed to have a fail voice, it feels pretty good to have turned this around. My cousin (girl) told me during holiday this Christmas that I had a great voice (she hadn't seen me since May). :D

That's all for this post. Next post will be other fundamentals (social calibration), my brand and goals w/ seduction and the man I want to be. And then I'll post approaches from this year (I've approached, or just talked to about 10 different girl so far. Not much but better than last year)

Experience with women:

General thoughts: I'm the first to admit I'm very bad with women. Growing up I did highschool in 2 different places - one was an Indian School up to 10th grade, so as u'd expect dating was not common, my parents looked down upon it and what not. Still had a 'girlfriend' for about 4 months when I was 14 (but never even kissed her sigh), but then she told me she cheated on me, it kinda sent me into depression. When I switched to an American highschool, the difference was so stark I was intimidated, even bullied a bit bc I was the weird awkward loner. I learnt to fend for myself, also became significantly cooler, fitter and became friends/acquantiances with a lot of the ballers in high school. I was liked by a lot of people in my own way, and by the time I graduated especially the cool guys always greeted me and made me feel like I was cool after all. But I never could overcome my depression and insecurities that plagued me (and I still haven't fully tbh), and I always stuck to myself. I'd talk to a few girls, I mustered up the courage to ask one or two (including a girl I asked to prom) out and would get promptly rejected (still an issue), but more often than I'd never assume girls would ever like me and stuck to myself. There were times when a few girls I knew smiled at me, and were warm towards me, but that only drove me further apart since I hadn't a clue if they were just being friendly or if they liked me. I come to Canada for Uni, I'm happy since it's a fresh start. It's a chance for me to set things right, to this day, no-one here knows that I was a loser in high school who never really had friends, had people backstab and bully him, diss him and had girls shun him in pity or disgust; a guy who was stick thin, needy, creepy and intimidated by just about everything. I worked hard the summer before college to turn myself into a man who projected a normal amount of strength. So when I came to college, I was not an absolute loser, and I made friends but that was it. I simply expected girls to come over to me, but ofc that didn't happen. So I wasted another semester due to inaction, and I focused on studying. But I knew this was a fresh start, and I started doing Next Semester, I continue studying and not really taking control or even admitting my weakness with girls. But things change when a friend introduces me to this beautiful Kazakh girl in our calculus II class. She's warm and receptive towards me, jokes with me, flirts with me (I was in disbelief...was a girl actually flirting with me?) touched me on the shoulder, on the nape of my neck (and held her touch), we'd exchange sly grins. Holy shit, what was happening? Unfortunately, I never believed that she wanted me, I'd always make some silly excuse like "oh look she's talking to this other guy, maybe she's just a flirt", "maybe she's just always touch-y with people" maybe this maybe that instead of just asking her out and finding out. Almost 2 months of this shit passes and soon I can her seeming more bored and disappointed in our interactions. Then she starts hanging out with her friends and doesn't even sit with me. I chalk that up a rejection, start ignoring her. But something in me, deep inside, broke down. I was sick of being the same way with women, hopeless and clueless, trying to muster up the courage to ask a girl out, then failing and sulking for months and then repeating the cycle. So as I walked back home the day after she 'rejected' me, I promised myself then and there: "I will NEVER live my life again without trying to get better with women" It is about this time that I find GirlsChase. One of the very first articles I read was about failure, and it inspired me go and try and push things to the limit. Only I didn't, not really. But anyways, a week later I went to a party (my first ever...) I flirted with this girl I knew, and she was really flirty too, and she was touching me and always circling around me the whole time, but getting more drunk by the second. I finally thought 'let's take her to a more private place and maybe make out with her', but then she got waaaay too drunk, puked and that was that. But then a week later I asked out another girl (she said no), and then I cold approached a beautiful blonde in the mall for the first time ever, it was so scary and terrible. In fact I said hi, then left soon after and came back and asked her out holy lol, but it was just something I needed to do. I approached 2 more girls in the summer. I wasn't as pathetic, but they still brushed me off very quickly. This summer, after the end of first year, I went back home and knew next to no one (all my friends had left) and travelled a lot with my parents. So I tried to focus as much as I could on the fundamentals mentioned here, promising myself that I would transform myself second year. And it worked, sorta? I come back and within 2 days of the new school year (this was in September last year) I made out with 2 girls. The second one I got naked with, sucked her tits and she rubbed me off a bit but when I asked her to suck me off she refused, saying 'not tonight'. She then left.

I then approach a few more girls in res, get rejected. I cold approach a few women, one of them says she has a boyfriend, but then texts me asking what's up, I set up a date for the weekend but she goes radio silent and I never hear from her again.

Then I meet this Russian girl who's intrigued by me, asking my friends about me. Then she shows up to salsa class one day, dances with me. After class, she SNATCHES MY PHONE and runs to her room, laughing, leaving the door half open. But I don't pick up on this, simply go to her room and get my phone back. I set up a date next day and we go, but then after the date when I try to take her to my room she resists, saying she doesn't want to date guys right now. I'm broken, and go full one-itis for her, then I realize it's mid-November and I'm almost 19. I can't waste more time living like this. So I begin making drastic changes with my mindset and my habits over December. I go into 2017 DETERMINED to come out as a winner.

So far this year I've approached 7 women (at my residence, outside the gym, and at my first time in a nightclub) in 3 weeks. No success no far.

Fundamentals pt. 2:

10) Law of Least Effort : Needs work. I've stopped trying to come with 'comebacks' to peoples' barbs (they've reduced a lot over the years, but still occur a bit too frequent for my liking), merely smile or give a bored look and resume whatever I was doing. I feel my approaches in residence break this law and are a bit too high effort but honestly right now I need to approach and get some experience so I am consciously breaking it. Where I can improve is deflect requests when asked for unwanted compliance from others, be more concise and appear more relaxed.

11) Conversation: decent but nothing spectacular. I need to talk to more people in general. I can manage a very basic deep dive, need to fine tune it. I'm also pretty witty, so there's that I guess. I struggle bringing a sexual vibe into conversations

12) Social momentum: Since the new year, I've approached (with the intent of seducing) 7 girls, but I've also met new guys, talked to them (small talk AND deep dived into their favourite hobbies etc), small talked with about 3-4 new women, talked to a couple cashiers, talk to the chefs in my dining hall. I went to a party on Friday and met about 20 new people. My goal should be to increase frequency of talking and meeting new people.

13) Fashion: A work in progress. I can't afford much so I work with what I have. I've shifted from very casual t-shirts to better button-up dress shirts which I wear with jeans (so it's still a bit casual, it's univesirty after all). I can't afford a leather jacket yet so holding out on that. I wear ok loafers but I can't afford better shoes rn (I'm looking to get cowboy boots). I'm probably going to invest in a great watch soon. Most of my clothes fit ok (I got the dress shirts tailored and they look great), but I'm skinny so they still don't hold tight to my body. I need some accessories too. Right now, the button ups help with giving me a refined, classic look but I still need to get my fashion up to "edgy bad boy". In other words, nothing too spectacular yet but it's going to happen once I can afford it.

I will be uploading my thoughts on my goals with the journey soon. I will also start the newbie assignment, I'm sure I've done aspects of it before but I'm not half-assing things this time.

Ok I've been really busy with school work b ut made tons of progress there and gymming going great too!

Over all my walk fundamental is fully handled, I'll be updraging my fashion and haircut.

The main thing is since I've been so busy I haven't really talked to any girls at all (not even girl friends or girls at school etc) so I've lost quite a bit of social momentum. And I'm still a virgin. BUT

a) I'm really focused on building my physique, as that is the one fundamental I feel I really need to master to open the floodgates

b) I'm focused on school

so girls are really a side thing.

That being said, we have a week's study break, and despite being busy af with a project and midterms right after, not having classes means free time and structure to do things my way.

So I feel this is a good opportunity to start my newbie assignment and regain most of my momentum and meet (and hopefully sleep with) beautiful women.
