Learn to get laid with a maximum of 30 minutes invested in a woman. Do it 3-5 times and then never invest more than 30 minutes in any woman until you're ready for an LTR in 10-15 years.

QUIT WATCHING PORN AND MASTURBATING!

For college students specifically:

Be engaged, socially and academically. Most everything else is noise.

Socially - join many and diverse social organizations. Frats, ethnic social clubs if you're a minority, etc. You'll get more experience with people and lay the foundations for future professional networks. I was in a fraternity, an ethnic club, and a finance/investments club. Frat and ethnic clubs were both "target rich."

Academically - I was a marginal student, my biggest regret. Push yourself to critically think in the classroom and smooze teachers if/when you can (it's a good skill to practice for later in life).

Lift, lift, lift, lift, lift, and fucking lift.

Oh, and get some better clothes and develop interests beyond video games

Go out and have fun . I was always a good student and did well in my classes but never took a second to stop and appreciate the being stupid and young time period of my life that was my early 20's . I would have escaped my LTR at the time and just chatted and flirted with every eligible woman I came across and just relaxed and have had more fun .

That doesn't mean stop performing in class but I think the social experiences are just as important for merging into " the real world" post - graduation as having a basic understanding of your chosen career field and how to succeed in it .

( A.K.A. I got more drunk and drank more often in my first week of working a real job than my entire college experience combined)

Know when alcohol is starting to negatively impact your life and cut back on drinking when you reach that point. For me it was midway through sophomore year. This is especially important if your family has a history of mental health problems.

Don't get black out drunk 3x a week for too long. You will do damage to your brain contrary to frat logic. You will also most likely hook up with a fat chick who looks like an 8 through beer goggles if you get obliterated that regularly. Don't ask why I know that. Do get drunk and have fun though.

Also, learn to keep your phone in your pocket when you're drunk/black out.

Find people to go out with the first few days and do it quickly. You might not remain friends but you can't be a lone wolf the first few days. Meet a shitton of people the first few days/weeks. People will be much more open at first but may shut down into cliques after a few weeks.

Depending on the college, it can be a small world. Don't get a reputation for being a creep off the bat. Not that it matters too much, but it could come back to haunt you down the road. Keep the hardcore red pill shit to a minimum at first bc you don't want to be known as "that guy".

Travel. Find a way to get out of the country on your summers; don't spend them in your parent's home. That was MY mistake.

Look for internships or work opportunities abroad.

Besides grades, literally nothing is more important than raising that SMV. Get swole, have a clean haircut or grow a manbun, hit up parties. Learn body language and eye contact, this will give you the greatest advantage its ridiculous. Go to events like festivals, raves, concerts, etc. Take high quality pictures, a plus if theres some chicks in it. Build up your IG resume and Tinder. Youll have enough momentum by then you should just be in the flow of things. If possible, avoid the LTR unless you feel like shes a dope chick with quality.

As far as actualy classes go: AMOG the classroom, aim to be in the top 3 alphas. Show up to class with some girls (even if theyre friends - your classmates will notice that you have game). Try to do this in the first few weeks of class since thats the first impression.

EGOtyst · 2016-06-06T23:22:35+00:00

Approach constantly. Day game everyone.

I'd in general chunk my goals up and create smaller achievable SMART goals (google it).

I'd ask professors in fields of study I liked and trusting adults what major will be profitable and in demand when I graduate. I'd ask those same people to help me create a five year plan to get into a high paying position in that field. I'd then invest my full time and effort into that field. I'd practice people skills a lot more and less on pick-up skills. I'd really only focus on women and getting laid during breaks; and any women that hung around and wanted to date me would be a hard next if they got in the way of my studies.

I'd also pick side jobs that were related to my career, internships etc., or at least had lots of interactions with high quality people. I.e working at a golf course, working the front desk of a business that is patronized by smart, movers and shakers.

I'd avoid burning bridges with people I don't connect with or get into arguments with; but at the same time I'd also cut out toxic people from any of my inner rings of friendship. I'd do my best to learn about social cue's and covert communication amongst women and certain male groups as well. I'd basically get a lot more involved with campus activities that helped me socialize but didn't infringe on my GPA.

Lastly I'd take economics, accounting, and business classes in addition to whatever field of study I was in and learn about compound interest, savings and business investment. I'd invest a portion of my income no matter how small into some type of financial vehicle (mutual fund, IRA, money market, etc.)[I'd avoid debt at all cost and read Dave Ramsey]

Bonus tip: If I approached and a girl shot me down I wouldn't internalize the rejection. I'd learn that women reject men for many reasons and someone out there is primed and very into what I'm selling as a young man with all my strengths and weaknesses. No matter who you are there's a girl out there that's freaky for what you have. You just need to approach more.

Lift every day. Talk to every girl you see. Read Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, Bang, and Rollo Tomassi's two books.

Unless you plan on getting into a serious, top-tier medical, law or graduate school, don't fret over grades so much -- Go out and have some fun. Of course, don't be "that guy" who gets drunk every single weekend and literally can't function when the weekday starts.

Kick bad habits to the curb. This includes, but is not limited to: * Jacking off to porn (only go NoFap if it absolutely helps you) * Smoking weed. * Pulling all-nighters. * Excessive drinking.

Start some good habits that will benefit you for life. * Get adequate rest. * Follow a strict schedule. * TALK TO PEOPLE. * Set boundaries.

I think RP is more than just increasing SMV, so I'd suggest that you try to find a prof who really knows something, and doesn't just know the latest academic fads. Not only will you learn something, but he might be able to guide you through the b.s. that you face in college. Read lots of old dead white guys. like Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Schopenhauer, Fable of the Bees (Mandeville), and the French aphorists. They had real insights and some of your profs will never have heard of them. Female authors like Camille Paglia and Esther Vilar are RP. Look at Moldbug's website ("Unqualified Reservations") and learn about what he calls "The Cathedral."

If the college has a martial arts or boxing club, look into that.

Meet as many people as you can as soon as you can.

Don't drink more than you can handle. As for women, don't even think about sticking anything in crazy. Remember that you're guilty just for being a guy.

a few suggestions to improve my looks (I recently went through my old pictures between the ages of 19 and now, and it was astonishing how much my looks had improved from before and after my 22nd birthday simply because I made a few changes during that year)
giving myself a few very basic informations about the dating dynamics: there's no way around approaching women oneself (approach-worthy women always get approached, which makes them both lazy and cowardly when it comes to dating) and getting on a dating trajectory right off the bat and doing so quickly instead of trying to "get to know her" (i.e. hoping that she'll fall for me by herself. It doesn't work that way); also being more sexual and decidedly masculine (forget the bullshit the feminist-approved mainstream narrative has told you. no, you aren't a vile patriarch if you do that, women basically expect it and if you fall short of that expectation, you'll be perfect friendzone- but not boyfriend-material); and finally what are the best ways to alienate women who might have been positively inclined otherwise (to avoid this of course)
avoid prematurely falling in love. In fact, dating "practice girls" for shits and giggles and without the intention of envisioning something long-term with them isn't a bad thing (practice girls are easier to get, easier handle and - when things have run their course, easier to let go). You aren't under the obligation to stick to a woman just because she wants you to and spread her legs for you, even if women would like you to think that.
a few technicalities about dating, escalating and the usual fuckery.

I found out about game when I was 20, so not far off 18. It got me a lot of make outs and extremely solid inner game socially. I feel confident clubbing solo, making friends anywhere, absolutely zero approach anxiety anytime, and solid public speaking skills. I'm now 25.

But I wish I told myself to hit the gym. Im self conscious as fuck naked. Which has caused me to punk out on so much sex. To the point where Im now going all in on fitness. Dropped 5lbs last week, 20 to go.

Would tell my dumbass eighteen year old self: keep hitting gym, your body is your greatest investment. Fuck video games, weed, and junk food.
