This post is for the low tier faggots and grinders who make excuses, and can't seem to turn the corner.

This is where I am now, long way to go still: April 2020 https://imgur.com/a/9dtSs2e

I started 6 months ago, looking like this: October 2019 https://imgur.com/a/t3G4Egt

My readings and last lifts before gyms closed can be found in my OYS, along with my background. I posted in OYS from the first month I found this sub. 31yo 6'2" 199lbs ~20%BF

Where I live everything is closed except "the essentials." On Thursday, multiple Mayors in my state including mine made Emergency Proclamations declaring a curfew in effect from 11pm-5am on Fri Sat Sun, weekly until May. They've said this is a test and may be expanded. Things are pretty tight, store shelves still empty the same day that shipments arrive, and everyone who got laid off is just trying to float until their stimulus arrives, because they know they're about to get fucked by our high cost of living. 40% lost their jobs due to the lack of tourism happening now. Its predicted tourism won't recover back to where it was by a 20% margin once they release the restrictions, so 1 of 5 of those 40% isn't going to go back to work in the same place when this is over, and they all know it. That's 8% of our island working class, unemployed indefinitely. That's what this getting better again looks like, best case scenario.

The Point

So I've set the background. People are scared and they don't know what's going to happen.

I decided that since my divorce isn't going to go through anytime soon (courts are down), it was time to start the next part of my life. Time to start plating, work on that Abundance, and get my dick wet so I can start to work through more personal mental BS now instead of later.

I thought because of COVID-19, plating would be more difficult. Holy fuck was I wrong. Women's hamsters are in overdrive 24/7 right now, hypergamy is driving them to seek security like a heat seeking missile, and they're looking for something, anything, to change those shitty feelz they're getting from everywhere all the time while sitting alone and bored in their house.

I downloaded the dating apps that get used in my area, set up a low info profile with good pics, key vague HVM info, and language that qualifies the women who view me, and started swiping and liking.

I immediately got results. I've been doing this less than a week, and I've already fucked one plate by date 3 (HB5 40yo property manager) where she was hounding me to come over (and still is), made out with a second on the first date with her begging me to give her a butt massage on date 2 later this week (HB7 28yo scuba instructor) and have a third set for a first date this Tuesday (HB7 30yo Nurse) who has been talking about taking my temp with a thermometer up my ass while I put my dick in hers. Once I actually meet them (always in public near their place or at their place) I give minimal/unimportant info about myself, ask a lot of questions, and let them talk while actively listening for places to inject humor or innuendo. If they ask me questions I answer them honestly, other than telling them that I'm already divorced.

These are just the girls I've actually decided to meet up with because they are attractive, actually have a passable brain and sense of humor, and their lives aren't a train wreck. There are triple this many available on this island and 10 times that available where I travel for business that would be down to meet me, but this isn't actually my main focus right now and don't want to spend more time on plating than I am, which isn't much, maybe an hour a day cumulatively unless I'm going on a date.

All it took is being a little bit funny and original in text, and making nearly everything into a double entendre or outright joke about sex. It also took maintaining Frame as a HVM/The Prize, and passing basic shit tests, but that's supposed to be a given. Dancing like a fucking monkey is easy when they don't know you, I'm not deluded into thinking I'm not fucking up all over the place in my mental models, because I know I am, I recognize it when it happens. But I'm out there grinding it out, and I'm learning about myself and growing at an exponential rate because of it.

The other parts of my life are improving at a similar pace, but they aren't why most guys come to this sub.

Don't let anyone or anything, including a "global pandemic" stop you from pursuing your goals, following your MAP, and finding your mission. Making mistakes along the way is how you grow. Look forward to them because they will be your best teachers.

Lift. Read. STFU.

Put in the work. That's all there is.

Do the work or go fuck yourself for the rest of your life, literally.
