Thanks again for the support man... as I've said before it means more than you know. As far as the line I used... its actually the same one I used previously but its just come out automatic for me now... I'm actually not sure if thats the best comeback... but I like to be fun spirited and playful... The line that really seems to sometimes work is "so we can be friends...." but in this case I never heard from the girl but at least I know the bf line was legit cause I saw him in her phone..Igetit! said:What's up Jayer,
That was a nice approach man. Quick thinking on your feet. I don't know if you did that on purpose,or if it was something that just flew out of your mouth. Most guys would have just given up once getting the boyfriend line.
Wow,just 9 more approaches to go. I'll actually hate to see this thread come to an end,man. The whole reason I even joined this forum was because of this thread/journal. I read some of your posts and the replies that people gave you and found it intriguing and funny at times. I bet when you started this journal,you never thought it would take almost 3 and a half years to complete,but a least you're completing it.
I should probably post this in your other thread,but I'm curious to know what ever happened with the other girl you dated for a while,the one who you put your approaches on hold for. At last report,you said that she LJBF'd you. Has there been any contact between the two of you since? And if so,how did the conversation go?
Whatever - just answer the f*cking question.izza said:IMHO success is not hooking up - and sometimes that's failure, even with beautiful, wonderful people.
What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

Second that notion, brilliant idea sir. Jayer, please do this and let us all learn from your experiences...PHAT Rabbit said:Kudos Jayer -- I started my approach journal about a year ago and it ended during the summer when I started the bootcamp. You my friend have been at this for a long, long time and I am sure you have learned, as I have, a great deal about this game we all participate in. When you finally complete this journal I think it would be cool if you could formulate a little summary post of all the things you have learned - biggest mistakes, biggest breakthroughs and what not. It would be good for pros and amateurs alike to see. Again, nice work and best of luck in the future.
If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.
And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.
Well, I just think it's funnier. For me, this is just a matter of style and sense of humor. I like what you did too.Jayer said:Does this go hand in hand with what Mystery says about making the girl qualify herself... or do you just do it to be playful?
Probably. I just believe we do everything for a very good and valid reason. I hear pretty much every guy on this board constantly maligning themselves - and the reasons why they do things. Then they wonder why they have low self-confidence. It's not that complicated when you think about it.Jayer said:Very interesting.... I initially just saw it as always being thankful or the effort we each put in and appreciating that effort... but now I see you use it as a way to dig deeper into who we are by questioning that very effort..... I have a feeling morals, virtues, general life philosophies will play out so that may be a another discussion entirely..."Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you took something from my current thinking, as I am taking from yours. Just to make sure I'm being clear, I don't think it's a problem to care about the outcome. I think the outcome is important. I agree when you said, being dependent on the outcome to be happy isn't so good. But it is normal to be a bit upset when we don't get what we want. The broader point I'm making, though, is that we should never, ever, ever malign our effort, motivation, character, or courage - or that of anyone else. We always do our best. Therefore, we should always appreciate our effort because all humans always do the best we can, all the time. We are beings of such amazing courage, adaptibility, and intelligence. I think attitude helps because it forces us to focus away from thoughts like "I am lazy, I'm a coward" and to the real roots of the problem ("I'm a considerate person and I didn't want to inconvenience her. Ok wait, I believe talking to me is an inconvenience - why? Because I'm a loser. Wait, why do I believe that? Say that reminds me of one time on the playground when..." and that, that moment of causal understanding, is when you actually solve the problem. That is the moment when you improve your outcome.)"
Hold on, let's talk about outcome dependence again. I think we need to clarify one thing. Although I believe outcomes are important, they do not define success. Keep that in mind. In the long run, how much fun you're having is a lot more important for success than following one method or another."Hmm, I know this is aiming high, but maybe try to set a time to tell her how you feel. I don't think there's anything wrong with telling a girl directly to her face that you find her sexy, but that you understand that now's not the time, or whatever. Yes, it's an awkward situation, but a lot of it is created by us, and what we don't dare say, what we don't dare show, than by anything else. Like the wisdom above, a guy who dares just say, without catcall, that he is attracted to somebody to their face, is so rare in our time, you will astonish (not to mention pick up) women just by living honestly and wisely. That said, I too am still in this playground phase of sexual development where I think my feelings about women should be shielded from ridicule. It is hard to get over it. But the rewards are amazing - and I'm not talking just about getting women, but even more about living freely. A goal I feel is very worthy to aspire to."
I've gotten numbers being both direct and indirect... but I don't think I can say one way has a better conversion rate than another..... maybe after I do my final analysis i may come to a theory of that nature...
Microphone Fiend said:numbers without creating rapport or enough attraction are useless man. You need to make them remember you and want to speak to you again before you go for the # close or else it is just another useless # in your cell phone
Definitely sounds like you are getting me to think about life philosophy in general..... I guess being happy is the most important thing.... and it shouldn't take success with women to make me feel that... I am definitely coming to this realization... but still I get lonely (emotionally) and horny (physically)..... other than that I am in a good frame but I seem to not be able to help life's mood swings........Izza said:I know you've picked up a lot of new beliefs during your whole experience with these 100 pick ups. But I still haven't seen you change your frame. I haven't seen you change the way you judge success, I haven't seen you commit to getting to know yourself. These aren't just things that are nice on top of picking up women, or things that don't affect outcome. You cannot truly master yourself and your romantic life without focusing on fun and expression. I don't see you as truly, fundamentally, committed to yourself. I don't see a fundamental respect for who you are. I see you still trying every new technique, I see you still willing to try stuff that isn't you to get women. I feel like, just from your posts so I might be wrong, that you're still selling out.
This isn't about you taking on my exact beliefs. This is about you taking an ethics that is your own, instead of a gurus. It's about being honest with yourself and the world.
Again, that is normal, there are lots of seemingly good reasons why people do it. And perhaps you will pick up women doing this sort of stuff. Like I've said before, picking up women is deceptively easy, for just about everybody, no matter how you look. It is not hard. Success involves far more factors, and one of the most important is honesty.
It seems to me that you're close to reframing your universe, but you're still not quite there.

100 approached completed. Good job,man. Way to go. It was a bumpy road,a lot of highs and lows,a few dates,a LOT of flakes,but you hung in there and saw it through. It's weird man. I remember at one point where you had like,I don't know,what seemed like 15 or 20 flakes in a row. And now,out of your last 10 approaches,you went 9 for 10. How in the world did you pull that off?
I'm like Izza. He asked what would happen when you reached 100 approaches.
That's a good question. So,what now? I already know that you're going to continue to approach and meet other women,that won't end. I was just wondering if you going to continue to post them here,or in another thread.
I'm looking forward to reading your conclusion report. I want to see what kinds of insights and realizations you've aquired through your journey.
I know that you've learned more about women through your approaches,but I'm sure you've also learned more about yourself as well.
Anyway,congrats again man.
Don't always be the one putting yourself out for her. Don't always be the one putting all the effort and work into the relationship. Let her, and expect her, to treat you as well as you treat her, and to improve the quality of your life.
