Been over 2 months since posting my last journal. To keep things concise, I'm going to post my Logs 4 and 5 separately. I've been following a modified version of StrongLifts 5x5 program that EyeBRollin recommended to me since April 3rd after scrapping my old routine. I hit the gym M/W/F every...

What do you mean exactly...that it's easy or that for it to be considered "hard work", you need to put endless hours into it? My point is that it's very possible to be working very hard and make very little progress unless you apply some strategy to the approach. I think that's why so many...

I find parallels between what we're seeing with women and the current job market. It's stupid to throw your resume (approaching) hoping to play the numbers game. I think it's extremely inefficient and retarded honestly. Developing yourself as a man to qualify yourself to a woman is difficult so...

Hey @snowdog great to see a returning veteran drop by with some pointers. I'm on my own journey after a bunch of false starts over the past decade. I'm finally moving in the right direction. I'm 2 months strong on my workout regimen and been consistently chipping away on my goals. I know that I...

Cheers to your success! I find it really fascinating that minority girls are giving you a lot of flack for dating white girls. It mirrors the same kind of sh*t Asian guys give Asian women for exclusively dating white guys. It's usually the most attractive, white-washed Asian girls who date up...

As I work on my priorities like finding a product job, I'm trying to stay consistent in building up my dating life. I'm at home most of the time, focused on my goals. When I do go out, it's usually to the same restaurant bar, or downtown nightlife area with friends. There's no way I'll make...

Lately, I've been focused on finding a new job after wrapping up my consulting projects. I've been staying at home doing work. My main priorities have been searching for a new, better paying full-time job, learning marketable skills, and working out at the gym. The only time I leave the house is...

I'd like to know how you guys go about staying disciplined with your diet without sacrificing your social life. Do you count calories with MyFitnessPal, estimate your macronutrient intake, cook up and eat the same meal everyday, or follow a different regimen? I'm curious if you have a plan...

@EyeBRollin What's the 3:2 ratio? Does it describe how your primary back muscles to be developed enough in relation to other muscles so you can keep proper pull-up form and avoid injury? Btw, I'll be implementing your suggested routine starting tomorrow. Let me know if I really need to start...

Excellent post. Thanks for jotting your thoughts down. I've recently re-calibrated my outlook on life so I know what you mean about empathizing, building a connection, and just being a real person with her (or any other person) without any judgments. My greatest weakness is ramping up the kino...

I just call it "sets" because I post about how my recent collection of approaches and dates went in a new thread to get feedback. I haven't read or watched PUA material in a very long time lol, but I can see how my thread sounds like I'm "sarging" or "cold approaching". I'm invested in improving...

@RangerMIke thanks for your insight. how do you usually end up back at her place -- do you or she typically suggest it when the date is going well?

I've been keeping a game journal here and trying to make steady progress with every new set of girls I approach and date. The latest 3rd set, that I haven't posted yet, was only with 3 women. I got rejected by a bartender when asking for her number, ignored by a mutual friend's sister when...

We've all talked about how the dating market has been sh*t for over a decade unless you're top 0.01-20% man possessing tight frame/SMV, in which case you have endless options. Some here have said that the market is due for a serious correction. Like all markets, what goes up must come down and...

Thanks for the guidance. I should've clarified that I'm not doing all these exercises in my current routine in 1 session. All of the exercises I've listed are broken up into 2 or 3 different sessions. I just listed all of my exercises out so everyone can see what my max weight / set / rep is for...

@marmel75 great insight. I ran through the hangout w/ Adriana in my head multiple times and I see that should've escalated with stronger intent so she could start feeling some real tension. I'm starting to understand this escalation dance and it's beginning to click. I don't think I could've...

I'm not brand new to working out. I've pressed weights on and off at the gym since college, but eventually stopped and lost my muscle mass and gained body fat. I've been working out since last December and I'm still staying consistent. I'm at 2-3 sessions per week, but with more discipline I'll...

Alright, finally getting around to Set 2. I reflected on everything that's happened since Set 1 and overall, I need to approach more and really understand how to escalate effectively like a natural. My #1 issue is escalation. I know that I'll eventually get dates from my approaches, but if I...

I commented on your "I can't stop procrastinating going after the women I really want" thread that you need to step away from dating mode, calm down and reset your mind before you jump back in. Did you read it? You're drowning in thoughts of insecurity and self-doubt that's only reinforcing your...

I know how angry, frustrated, aggravated, and agitated you're feeling. I was in this dark mental state for a very long time after I kept getting rejected and flaked on despite trying to be a cool guy. It was like no matter what I did, it didn't matter. I entered this dark mental frame after I...
