I think I have mentioned this before, but probably not to all of you. Dino mentioned it in his last post. As of now my “gaming” is coming to a halt. I am taking a break from it for now. What does this mean? I will still try to get girls of course, but organized routines/plans, as well as reading new material are now out. Recently Dino and I were reading a post on Mystery’s forums called the “point of no return.” There is an ideal ratio of 1 hour studying to 2 hours in the field. If one goes way to far on the studying side, they’re in trouble. I can relate. Therefore, for now I will forget studying entirely and only work on field time. I remember recently myself, S, Dino and M Dog were in the Norwalk bar scene and that did not go so well. At the end of the night we said it was we did not have a “plan” and we were putting too much pressure on ourselves. The second part I agree with but I’ve flip-flopped on the first part. I think focusing on a “plan” adds to the pressure. Honestly, openers are overrated if you ask me. I went to a couple bars recently with a friend from college (he’s also read The Game.) We opened sets pretty much with just “hi” and jumped right into a conversation. Once they’re having fun they forget how you opened anyway, so I’m no longer putting surplus emphasis on that mostly unimportant aspect to the game. Sure, its how it starts, but its where it goes from there that really counts.
I hope to someday return to “gaming” a wiser, more socially mobile man. But, for now, as long as I’m going to social events that interest me, meet people and keep words flowing from my mouth, I’m just gonna let go.
