As a newbie, I used to get so butt hurt when things didn’t go my way. Each failure sunk me into deeper self pity. I would have some occasions when everything went perfect. Then right when I’m about to touch home base - I fuck it up or she ghost me.

Though I had breakdowns - my “always keep going an growing” attitude would soon lead me to massive breakthroughs and major realizations. The one thing that’s great about being social is as long as you show up, you gain exp. 

- Bombed a set? Still gained exp  - Got the number, but it turned out to be fake? Still gained exp.  - She strung you along for weeks till you realized she was playing you? Still gained exp

As long as you show up - you have the potential to ‘level up’ as I like to call it. Then throughout all that bs you went through, you’ll come across someone and the interaction will be one of the easiest sets you ever had. It was so easy, that your guard is up due to past experiences. Push comes to shove and you get exactly what you’ve been working so hard for.

You sit there baffled at how much shit you went through only to have this one come to you so easily. All of a sudden you realize how easy some people get what you work so hard for. You’re in a post nut trance - so it doesn’t bother you too much.

You wake up, unbrushed teeth, no shower, shitty clothes and head to pick up a quick breakfast. You notice a 9 giving you IOIs’. You half ass pursue her and she’s very receptive only to claim she has a bf. You don’t care, because you’re only use to getting IOI’s from 6’s and 7’s. She’s not the only hot girl you noticed giving you IOI’s that day.

Wtf is going on? I’m not even trying and I look horrible.

Congratulations you’ve reached level 20 and girls can feel that. New levels equals new devils. New lessons will have to be learned and you’ll have to go through more bs.

Anyone lower level than you can be spotted much easier, and conversation is a walk in the park. You reach a certain level and realize most people aren’t that high of a level and the “social kids” aren’t that far ahead of you.

I say all that to say this. If you keep learning and growing - you’ll get there. You’re not grinding for present you. You’re grinding for future you.
