afaik swallowing is not a direct result to theory reading only as alot of life changes has to be applied, and of course this will take some time.

in my attempt i ask if there are any general tips to make short, instant changes which can be applied right now, whether there is something in the sidebar i might have overlooked or if its anything you personally did that gave you sort of an aha experience, which made a notable difference to how people percieve you and what kind of impression you are able to put forth.

onto my little story

i was (un)lucky enough to discover this subreddit while in the middle of flushing two EASILY REELED (and stunningly hot) plates down the toilet. i am 21 years old, and incidentally entered monk mode for 2 years after a terrible LTR. this monk mode gave me nothing as i did not use it constructively or even knew this was my thing. calling it monk mode is not even fair, more like a beta monk mode.

i basically did every thing right with the first girl for a week, fucked up alot of shit, did everything entirely wrong and after reading various side bar material i could clearly see why this mattered, though at first i couldnt comprehend why everything went to shit. i could also clearly see everything i did right for the first week.

i have delayed starting lifting, and will try to get started within a couple of weeks due to some busy days and travelling going on. since im in university and its out for summer (ive slacked alot until now), im not really able to try and improve there until i get in for next semester. also my extra job is not very good and im considering trying out for something i can benefit greater from.

so far im trying to experiment on socializing with girls. a few days ago i was able to get a booty call on one, doing alot of good communicating including radio silence and soft nexting, some faults ive been able to fix. i could cash in this booty call, but i havent yet since honestly i dont find the girl very good looking, and wondering whether i should.

furthermore ive also gotten a neck tattoo and a septum piercing, and i picked up music again on a more serious note, not only learning but composing music which i think is really great and plan on releasing this in a few months.

this is where im at so far, and im wondering if i maybe have missed out on some important aspects. i havent fully been able to digest the sidebar material yet, i feel like much information is irrelevant to me considering my young age, for instance the book "no more mr nice guy" which was more directed at older men being fucked over for a really long time.
