Interview with SSK08

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the most dedicated and successful guys we’ve worked with online- you all know him, SSK08.

SSK08, aka Amir, has been reading GoodLookingLoser.com since March 2012.

When he started, he had high-moderate social anxiety, high-extreme approach anxiety, moderate [temporary] extreme depression (relationship breakup), lingering pornography addiction, issues with erectile dysfunction and an outdated clothing style (haha, nothing you haven’t told everyone). He is also 1/2 Pakistani, which makes him a minority in Ireland and Manchester, the two cities where he has lived in over the past 8 months.

All this makes his story even more amazing.

Here’s a little update from Amir-

Not surprisingly, Amir’s thread, “New Self [SSK08],” is one of the most popular threads on this entire website, with daily readership routinely over 400 people according to Google Analytics. As of November 2nd 2012, the thread already details his journey of beating social anxiety, slaughtering approach anxiety, solving the erectile dysfunction issue (Cialis) and getting laid.

Not counting the semi-off periods, he’s done all this in about 5.5 months without even the security of a “job”.

As I told him, he’s already made more process than 99% of the guys in the pickup community will make in 3 years.

A critical point came June 6th, 2012.

Amir may or may not know it.

He had met an inexperienced community guy that was fun to go out with but also liked to contribute advice on “how to Get Laid.” Big problem. I wasn’t happy about it and I let him know. This was a critical point, I figured Amir would either commit 100% or we’d never see him again. I was hoping it was the first one. It was. He committed himself and worked harder this summer than anyone we’ve seen.

His life is completely different because of it.

“SSK08 New Self: Turning Point”
(June 6th, ignore the September 17th date, that when the post was transferred.)

Amir was tagging girls this summer, long before even our very first in-field videos came out. He took the information on GoodLookingLoser.com and ~~ran~~ sprinted with it. He’s not looking back.

For those who care- Amir has sent me pictures of some of the chicks he’s tagged, having absolutely no reason to doubt him (he’s honest and open with everything… can you tell?), these girls are pretty hot I must say.

Congratulations on all your success Amir, you have earned it. The tough part is over, you will reap the benefits for a lifetime.

It’s possible.

update: pre-video advertisements removed

As you listen to this- you probably can hear a kid that has come along way.
But very quickly.
So quickly, in fact- he can very clearly remember his “Old Self,” it’s only been about 100-150 days or so.
