First Time I started taking action in the game:
First came across sosauve. At college, got laid once freshman year. I then wanted to get laid again but it never happened. Second year of college, have the belief that "I" personally could never get laid, unless i joined a fraternity. Pledged twice but still didn't get laid. Liked this girl whom had some interest too, but overtime i overstayed my welcome each day when in her dorm room with friends. She lost interest. I developed a big anger that the whole year was all for nothing and i wanted to change this. Didn't want fate to determine by destiny with women.
Quiting but returning back to the game:
For me personally, it was the fact that i let too many opportunities go by and then i saw a future of myself always regretting and never let going of the past. Then hearing the quotes, "You'll never get laid" or "Till the day I see you with women" from people i knew, i ultimately wanted to prove the doubters wrong. Also when girls gave me eye contact, and yet i couldnt' do anything about it...i was afraid to take that chance. That really got to me, and since that day i've been at it and will change the future i envisioned.
Use the pain of not succeeding in the future to remove approach anxiety, that u have to prove it wrong that u can live the life you want!
