Protecting Your Rep?

[PrimetimePlayer]

OK, so I've been checkin out this site for a minute now. I've basically read the whole bible, read DYD too, and read just about everything else there's been to read on here. Right now I'm ready to just go out and start tryin stuff out, but I'm kinda hesitant. I remember reading more than once to protect your rep at all costs, and right now I go to a university where basically everybody knows everybody, so I'm kinda worried I'm gonna f*** somethin up with some chick and the next thing you know girls start talkin and everybody knows about it. That kinda messes up the whole idea of not putting any real value on any random attempt at a number, because it could really mess my situation up. I'm tired of sittin on the sidelines right now but I don't wanna screw myself over either. So what do you guys think? Am I overthinking it or do I have a point? And for anybody who's been in this situation, how'd you go about getting started?

Even before you begin, you are thinking of failure.Change that mindset.There are no failures, because failures are the stepping stones to sucess.So if you feel you are ready to try out your game, that means you are confident enought to do it.So stop thinking and start approaching women.Everybody has their own share of screwups, so dont worry.Each mistake will educate you on where you are going wrong and slowly you will become more confident than you are now.

Good luck matey!

Think of it like this, your rep only has an effect on the people that know you, and alot based on the impression that you make, and on your actions. Most people don't even really have as much of a rep as they might think... they just aren't enough of a topic of discussion.

The point of this is, if you don't do retarded shyte, like date rape girls, or act like a complete jacka$$, or steal shyte... you know, things in general that people would shun, doing crazy drugs as another example, then your rep should stay in a range where it wouldn't have a negative effect on your ability to score...

moral : Don't worry about your rep.

As long as you don't approach 50 girls in the morning with the same dumb pickup line, you should be fine.

When is your rep at danger? When you are blatantly rejected or when you harass someone.

You don't do that at uni. It's not like if you don't lay her in the next 2 hours, you're gonna lose her forever. You are much more gradual with your game. You "just talk" for a while, while pouring kino. (you're not gonna get a bad rep just because you tried to kino some girl) Then you train them to kiss you on the cheek when they greet you (no harm for your rep either). Other chicks then see it and become curious. They're yours.

Just don't scare them off with patterns and tonguedowns in the first 30 mins of the convo and you're gonna be ok.

And don't "pick them up". You should "get acquainted with them" and then pour kino. Don't worry - they won't get away, they're yours to work on for the whole year.

Yea, thanks yall, i can see where you guys are coming from, shouldn't be too much too worry about. Gotta start somewhere, guess I'll just see how it goes.

I agree with Ice also, except for : I don't believe that getting blatantly rejected hurts your rep, any impact it would have on your reputation would be negligable.

Regardless though, your rep is one of those things that is only in your control in as much as you don't do stupid shyte.

Agreed. I meant more like:

If you get blatantly rejected 10 times at a party on the same night, ending up looking desperate.

But on the other hand, even this may be a good thing. They'll see you as confident and persisnting...

Ok, I see what you meant... but really the difference would come down to HOW you approached the 10 women... If you were drunk and falling all over them, you might get the rep of a rowdy drunk, as an example.

Regardless, we are both agreeing that it's not something to worry about. Especially if you are acting in a 'respectable' / 'reasonable' way.
