I have noticed a multitude of people here nitpicking their mistakes as if they were looking at their field reports with the most precise magnifying glass in the world. While this is a good thing to do, don't let it dictate the degree of your successes.

We are all human beings. Mistakes happen. Not every interaction needs to be perfect in order to succeed. Don't get me wrong, I think that all of us on the subreddit should strive for perfection, but this does not mean we will achieve it. I have made careless mistakes or slip ups when out on dates or doing cold approaches, yet have ended up being successful with many of them nonetheless. I am not Chad, but like many of you who discovered TRP rather than having it naturally engrained, I have lifted seriously and applied its methodology to many aspects of my life.

Sometimes you get caught off guard from a shit test, other times you make a Freudian slip and show too much emotion to a girl. While one or two mistakes won't kill you, accumulating them will be your downfall. The way I like to picture it is that your SMV is like your health bar from a video game. Someone with a high SMV can take a lot more hits than someone with a low SMV; It might take 1 hit to cripple your frame, or it could take 100. As my SMV has increased, I noticed I get away with a lot more than I have in the past with both men and women.

The point that I am trying to make is that you should never give up or kick yourself over a handful of mistakes, and end up overlooking all the positive aspects of the interaction. With that being said, analyzing your mistakes is critical to success; I have without a doubt learned more from one mistake than I have ten closes. To all those who are just getting on your feet, keep up the work, the results will come. Merely even approaching a girl puts you in a percentile far above most men who walk on the planet. With every month of 2018, my successes have literally become exponential, and I hope the same is true for you guys who are reading it. As Pook said, "Perfect is boring, but to be human is beautiful"
