“Shattering the Limits”
A Not-So-Short Story by Fingz
Prologue
A World of Theory
We’ve heard it all before. When it comes to success with women, there is no Holy Grail, no Magic Bullet that will change us. Surely we must study intense strategies and exercises to undo the conditioning that has turned us into dateless wonders!
I am here to challenge that notion.
But Fingers…aren’t you the same guy who posted up all sorts of tips and strategies to help us score?
Ohhhh yeah…THAT. Well let’s just say that I was going through a phase of transformation and you guys got an intimate peek at my progress. I still stand by those posts. They are what helped me improve. But one man’s elixir is another man’s poison. So like ALL advice, it should be taken with a grain of salt and tempered by your own experiences.
See, it’s real easy to get lost in all of this data. Personally, I am glad I did it because it forced me to deal with my fears and in my use of technique I developed the confidence I was lacking. But at the same time I failed to see how I had become trapped in the science of it all. My progress was so empowering that I willingly became a slave to knowledge!
It really hit home for me about a month ago. I was macking this fly cutie and it turned out that I really liked her. She was funny, talented, adventurous, beautiful and we connected on many levels. So I unleashed my full game on her of course. A little ****iness mixed with humor, playfulness, rapport, the whole shebang. And whaddya know?
It failed miserably.
Adding insult to injury, she told me she thought I had anxiety problems and should seek help! I was about to blow her off as a psycho-biatch with my usual detached attitude, but then I realized the truth in her words. I WAS anxious! As she left me there I noticed that I was holding my breath, my posture was rigid and despite my supposedly brilliant tactics, I had reverted to my former chumphood! (argh)
WTF happened?
I didn’t even realize it at the time, but my Internal Dialogue had resurfaced in the worst way. There was this voice in my head that would interrupt my consciousness with small observations like “Oh, that’s an indicator of interest right there” or “Hey, her pupils look a little dialated” These thoughts would pull my awareness out of my body and into my head, where I would deliberate my next move and my posture/breathing would tighten up. Trapped in a world of theory, I had lost touch with THE MOMENT!
To make matters worse I realized I had one-itis for this chick and was obsessed with her. This sudden reversion really got to me and in the following weeks, I felt a question brewing in my mind. It was a burning curiosity as to the underlying truth behind the theories. It puzzled me how so many techniques exist to achieve the same goal…surely there must be one theme that unites them all and eliminates the need for so much information.
Hmm…
I decided to take a vacation from all of my distractions to do some serious soul searching. I was on a quest for answers…
