*tldr; Learned to pick up plates

I swallowed the redpill 3 months after becoming single. I was failing horribly at the dating scene. I was getting kisses, instant one-itis every time, but never closed. I realized that I had no game and had much to learn.

Here is a brief chronology of my development so far

February: Started reading redpill, read through sidebar and top posts religiously for 2 weeks. Began practicing dominant vocal inflections 0 plates, few tinder dates Random tinder ONS - couldn't get it up :( never heard from her again Still feels like i'm trying to get a gf

March: Continued reading redpill. I began approaching strangers in bars. It was really hard at first and I was incredibly nervous. People in my area are quite approachable, and I've gotten used to it.

I managed to escalate all the way to making out within an hour on a tinder date. Went in cocky/asshole. Unfortunately I never heard from her again. I believe I wasn't properly calibrating, or using enough push/pull. The cocky/aggressive approach probably signaled too much interest. Also convinced two girls from tinder that knew each other to both come out with me on a date by assuming the sale. Failed to escalate to making out with either. Read no more mr nice guy and learned to avoid supplicating. Practiced not complimenting/agreeing/aligning to girls in person or via text. It's a habit I still fight to break. Whenever I perceived a shit-test via text or in person I would consistently over-react. Overall I still felt quite a bit of anger towards women.

I also began trying really hard to game one girl. I was Way overdoing it especially with the texts. She craved attention and gave me continuous barrages of shit tests. My work was so clumsy she realized I wa gaming her and she called me out on it. I manage to get some makeouts by slowly ascending Vin's ladder, but can't overcome LMR. I was really fortunate to interact with her. Because she kept coming back for more attention (which I stupidly gave) I was rewarded with daily shit tests that helped build my inner frame. I would get barraged about how I wasn't as attractive as my roommate, how if I would've been nice I would be having sex with her, that I'm a horrible person etc etc.

I went out solo by myself for the first time, got a few numbers and practiced some kino, no bar closes.

0 plates, 1 girl i'm seeing regularly and trying way too hard with, few tinder dates lifting regularly/running

April: April I made quite a bit of progress. Shit tests have become much easier to deal with (thanks to the constant barrage I receive). From my experience in April I realized that climbing the ladder too fast can be bad, and so I decided to not kiss anyone until I was about to fuck them. I also reflected on times I was able to inspire vagina tingles. I have a behavioral mode where I stand up straight, keep distance from the girl, and slightly lean back. I am polite, and very short with my words. I do not smile at them. I used this mode on a tinder date (lunch) and cut the date off early, about 45 minutes in. I didn't say anything about seeing her again, and she brought it up. She was sick for a few weeks, and rescheduled twice. I was patient, and then we went out again for a drink where I maintained my indifferent reserved frame. She did make me laugh quite a bit with her stories, and I started climbing the ladder with arm brushes, then leg touches, then hand holding/playing with hair but I didn't try to get back to her place. The next time we hung out we watched a movie at her place, and it was on. I was about 2 weeks into nofap, and I was ready, it was great. She brought up having a casual realtionship and I wholeheartedly agreed. Best blowjobs I've ever had.

I had a trip to san francisco. Realizing the time constraint I fired up tinder and sent out a volley of messages. Round 1 was "tonight?" Round 2 was "How about a quick drink before I show you the view from my hotel room?" I actually had a taker. We met up, and she was much cuter than expected. I maintained the reserved frame, but also took every opportunity to tease her. At the club we sat down on a couch and talked for a while. She insisted on paying for her own drink (nice). I slowly climbed up and down the ladder. When she seemed comfortable with me touching her hair I knew I was gonna be able to kiss her. When she said you are such an asshole and flipped me off I knew I was gonna fuck her. Thanks to my hardened immune system I maintained a shit-eating grin and only felt a growing erection instead of the mild offense/insecurity/need to apologize I would have otherwise felt. Whenever she went to the bathroom I wandered off on my own to dance and enjoy the music/talk to strangers. She always found me. She also saw me hug some random girls. We then went to the dance floor and I started really escalating, caressing her inner thighs, pulling her hair, kissing the back of her neck. We then walked back to the hotel room and I showed her the view.

Tinder texting: I learned that I can't get away with asking things like Spit or Swallow?. I pull best on tinder when I am polite, short, and insistent on meeting in person. Humor/teasing is up in the air. maybe one joke, but everything else has to be logistics for setting up a date. Occasionally I'll have success asking them to qualify. I might ask them, what's the last book you read? or how many pushups can you do? I never compliment them on their response. The only exception was in a big city under time pressure.

1 plate via tinder, 1 ONS via tinder, a few other dates.
Started nofap lifting regularly/running/ start weighing out macros

May: Plate is still spinning. There's also a girl who's number I had gotten on tinder around Feb, but that I had never met in person. Once in a while I would invite her out, and she would always say next time. Eventually we got coffee. I went in reserved, but with more warmth than usual. She was very responsive and I found her running kino on me. I cut it short, and a few days later she was texting me to go out for drinks. When we finally did meet up she really tested my patience, she wanted me to drive her to her place from work to get ready, and then she forgot her ID so I had to drive all the way back. I complied and kept it cool. When we got into the bar I ran into some friends and introduced her. She saw some of her friends and wandered off. I spent the next 90 minutes having a great time with my buddies and forgot about her. As we were changing venues I let her know, and she decided to follow. We ended up dancing at a club, and I started running kino on her. Had a great time being silly, and slightly sexual but not very heavily. I danced with her a bit like she was my little sister. Brought her back to her place, and we started watching lesbians make out on youtube. Played with her hair, went for the kiss and I felt resistance. I didn't feel like fighting LMR (also had no condoms), so I put on my shoes and started heading home. She jumped on me and started kissing me. I grabbed her, nibbled on her lip, gave some passion, pushed her off and walked out the door. A week later she invited me to help her house sit and we started fucking. Plate #2

I went out solo a few more times. I also started watching RSDTyler (love that guy, especially his beta shaming video) Still feeling a bit bitter, but being on the right side of AFBB makes it really easy to accept women for how they are

2 plates, no tinder dates, few numbers from bars (no closes), still seeing LMR girl who comes over to cuddle. Keep trying to close, keep failing. Shit-test immune system continuing to develop. Lifting/running/weighing out macros/nofap

June: This month I focused on strengthening my male relationships. I found a new running buddy through some mutual friends, and knowing he was a bit faster than me I looked forward to training with him. Turns out that in addition to his attractive girlfriend, he's got 3-4 fenake orbiters who hang out with him and his gf. A natural alpha if I ever saw one (looks, athletic, doesn't take shit). He invited me to a few parties. I got to the first one in a great mood, after a week of fucking two plates, and with one wet and ready to go that very night when I got home. I was focused on enjoying myself, and the company of my male companions. Running bro's orbiters are also at the party, and they interrupt me a few times. I'm not interested, I'm having a good time and I'm not buying. Here are a few of the verbal exchanges: "What's your name again?" me: "[girl's name]" "Can you turn up the music?" me: "no, you're closer" "can you stand up?" me: "no" "but I want to see how tall you are" me: "I'm shorter than running Bro by a lot. Not that tall" I look her right in the eyes and trying to convince her I'm the shortest guy in the room

We get to the club and everyone's pairing up. One of tehse girls starts dancing with me. "you look so uncomfortable" me: "I am uncomfortable" "it's so awkward" me: "It's ok to be awkward" Her calling me out actually helped me re-establish my frame. I danced by myself for a while, and then she came over and started grinding on me. She started making out with me. On the walk back to the car I had a hard time getting reserved plate to back off. She kept calling! She was already at my house before I was home, so I got the number, and went home and fucked reserved plate. Two days later coffee with new girl, short walk, back to her place for sex. Unfortunately I ran into LMR. With her initiating the kisses, push pull happened automatically, and I'm always the one pushing her off. Unfortunately during this LMR situation I could sense her body get really uncomfortable when I was reaching into her pants so I backed off. She looked extremely uncomfortable, like a bug had gotten into her vagina, so I said fuck this to myself, had her stop grinding on me, gave her a hug and went home to sleep. On the next date we had some alcohol, took her back to my place. Ran into LMR again, except this time she's already naked. I tell her that's fine and we start watching a movie. I'm caressing her face and suddenly she's tearing off my clothes because she's still really turned on and wants to fool around. "We're still not having sex" Ok hun, 2 hours of foreplay later, we have sex. Claims I was her second. So I picked up this plate the first week of june, and briefly had three until two moved out of the state.

The newest plate was by far the most attractive, but she started asking a bunch of questions about whether or not I was seeing other people. She didn't explicitly ask me to be exclusive, but she expressed great discomfort with the idea of me seeing other girls. Because of proximity to a good social circle, I decided not to spin her and let her down gently.

This week I picked up a new plate via tinder, and told her that I sleep with multiple people before sleeping with her. Worked wonderfully. During sex she told me about how much she wanted my cock all to herself and she was dissapointed she'd have to share it.

3 plates at the beginning of the month, drop all 3, pick up a new one. Lifting/running/weighing out macros/nofap

Overall I have made good progress. My weaknesses are pickup skills (I have been very tinder-reliant). My fashion also needs improvement. Another weak area is work, I feel like I could be making more progress. I am not stellar. Strengths are: Dealing with shit-tests, discipline to work out and be healthy (nofap), little approach anxiety.
